I think you should do a little dd before you start dissing Dr. J, Dipididoo. The gentleman's a distinguished scientist, not a market maker. You may have him confused with C. Michael Armstrong or some other low tech shepherd, or maybe you're just a hooligan lobbing grenades indiscriminantly without a clue or concern for accuracy. IRWIN MARK JACOBS Dr. Irwin Mark Jacobs co-founded QUALCOMM Incorporated in July of 1985 and currently serves as the Company's chairman and CEO. Under his leadership, QUALCOMM has been selected as a FORTUNE 500 company, included in the S&P 500 Index and traded on the The Nasdaq Stock Market®. Dr. Jacobs' pioneering work on Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) technology led to its commercialization and ongoing success as the world's fastest-growing, most advanced, digital wireless communications technology. Used by tens of millions of consumers worldwide, CDMA is recognized as the technology of choice for third-generation wireless communications services. He holds several CDMA patents, contributing to QUALCOMM's extensive portfolio of more than 400 issued U.S. patents and more than 900 pending U.S. patent applications. More than 95 companies have licensed CDMA for the manufacturing of wireless devices and network infrastructure equipment, integrated circuits and test equipment. Dr. Jacobs previously served as co-founder, president, chairman and CEO of LINKABIT Corporation.

From 1959 to 1966, Dr. Jacobs was an assistant/associate professor of electrical engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). From 1966 to 1972 he served as a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
