Hi Eric K, Here is an industry representing what I consider to be the pinnacle of human engineering progress-- 50 years of sustained, monumental improvement, and RAMBus says the business model and means of engineering is "outdated" and needs to be replaced, all the while offering a chief ware that has not been empirically shown to accelerate or even maintain the existing performance curve. -Eric No wonder RMBS' attorneys were so P.O.'d about not finding more "Deadly Menace" references! Surely there must be a "contract" out there some place to nuke the CHQ. <vbg> I have got to buy the books when they come out. For the life of me, I cannot imagine the birth canal that could bring forth such a corporate ego. This is one heck of an amazing story. Its as though Tate was locked in stasis in 1983 and just revived in time for the IPO.<Ho Ha 8-> 0\|0

Hi Erik K.; Re: " It's hard to believe that RAMBus is genuinely arguing for the elimination of the idea of shared, cross-corporate research in semiconductors, as well as pushing the future of the industry as a few ip houses that come up with semiconductor designs and a few fab companies that produce these companies' designs. Yet, Tate baldly stated this at the conference call." This is the natural condition of mankind. The master race collects royalties from the trash races that do the actual work. Of course in order to do this, they have to claim that they were the only ones who had any new ideas. -- Carl

Dinosaurs; that have much to lose. This is likely the source of much of Steve's vitriol (in addition to some painful childhood memories, I suppose). BP
