Hi Scumbria; My favorite part is where they discuss sneaking patents past JEDEC, and then later claim that such a thing would be in violation of JEDEC rules. This indicates that they violated the rules knowingly. -- Carl

That is about the dumbest post I've seen from you yet. Another insult. That's usually a sign that you have no rational response. If you don't want to know what I think of you, then don't ask -- it's that simple. BTW: Wadda ya think about that Electronics News article Carl posted? Proud of your favorite company? It'll be interesting to see what comes out. I think Carl may have made a mistake in reading part of what he posted. The following quote: “…The things we should not do are to not speak up when we know that there is a patent issue, to intentionally propose something as a standard and quietly have a patent in our back pocket we are keeping secret that is required to implement the standard and then stick it to them later (as Wang and Seeq did). I am unaware of us doing any of this or of any plans to do this.” sounds to me like the Rambus folks are saying that they're not going to submarine anyone or try to sneak anything past the council. We'll let the chips fall where they may (pun intended). For people with ethics, a wrong is a wrong even if it's committed by your side, and shouldn't be condoned. It's not okay to do wrong because "the other guy does it, too". If Rambus has received some of their patents unethically, then they should lose their patents and probably minimally pay everyone's court costs and give back related royalties. p.s. EN has not been a fan of RMBS. We'll see what all the documents say soon, I assume. I won't be surprised if EN has taken things out of context.
