<<That "Hot Now" light idea was a brilliant one.....It's almost like you have to pull in to krispy kreme when you see that light on....some kind of universal force I don't understand<ggg>....but yep, them suckers are awesome fresh out of the oven....I can eat em til I'm sick >> KG4, that is exactly why I stopped last night to have a few of the tasty hot morsels, even though I wasn't really hungry. The hot light was on, I must obey. (edit: don't try to fool yourself like the RMBS longs, those suckers are fresh out of a vat of hot oil, the oven is just there to make them rise.) Are you shocked when you see people ordering from the assortment of cold doughnuts? I always want to speak out and tell fellow customers that only the fresh hot classic glazed variety is special. Speaking of mistakes, the hometown newspaper for Silicon Valley, The San Jose Mercury News, had another little write-up on Rambus' conviction for fraud. Columnist Dan Gillmor said: ...The judge threw out the infringement case, (ed. against Infineon) but allowed a jury to decide whether Rambus had committed fraud -- and that's just what the jury concluded. If the jury was right, Rambus had attended meetings of an industry-standards group for years without telling other companies that it had applied for patents on the standards it was pushing. Wow. Rambus, which has other patent-infringement suits pending, talks a lot about how it's just protecting intellectual property. Genuine inventions are one thing. Taking advantage of a standards process to set up an industry for a fall, as Infineon claimed and the jury found, is another. Of course, Rambus denies the whole thing. Maybe it'll win the promised appeal. But there's an unpleasant odor to the company's actions.... Gee, I hope Dan attends the PR meeting this afternoon. Perhaps he can be bought off with some warrants.
