Aus - suddenly Chips and semis are down and all the geniusses are out in force with their views that what SNDK has built up over 10 years is going to be sampled by newcomers in ten minutes and that everone and his grandomther is now into manufacturing NAND and that there will a be a glut next year and we only found out about this in December. total crap. Thats not to say that SNDK doesn't continue its journey to the bottom of the sea but if iot does it won't be becausse of the above reasons. Clearly the stock stinks like two week old rotting fish but we will get some earnings sooner or later and the comany says they are doing just fine. But whoever is doing all this selling doesn't seem to be impressed with the Comopany's performance. Best, L

OT The following is for those who are amazed by gee whiz technology. See eet.com for the full article. "The NEC/SAIT technology was chosen for facial recognition because it performed best in retrieval accuracy, speed and data size as benchmarked by MPEG-7, NEC added. Referred to as MPEG-7 AFR (advanced face recognition descriptor), the technology is a description method that presents facial features in still or moving picture form for multimedia retrieval. It requires only 253 bits to accurately identify a face, NEC claimed. It realizes a matching speed capability of one million times per second on a conventional PC thus making it possible to retrieve a scene starring a specific person in approximately one second from a 24-hour video.
