You apparently don't know that Qualcomm enabled Samsung and funded [by owning some of it] HTC, and you got other things wrong too. <One reads of the financial successes of Samsung, HTC, Hon Hai and Foxconn these days, and wonders how did Mq get it so wrong thinking Qcom was going to control the world..... > Where did you get the idea "control the world"? Meanwhile, Qualcomm's technology is enabling the biggest transition in human and biological history to a world unimaginable 100 years ago. Few people are able to imagine what's coming. <Just look at how Apple has so deftfully shrunk Qcom's slice of the pie, and spread so much of the "Y2K" promise of Qcom to so many participants into a 'world'spun eco-system, with Mr. Jobs at the centre of this universe. > You seem to not understand that Qualcomm technology enables the iPhone and iPad. Apple has enlarged Qualcomm's slice of the pie. Steve Jobs isn't at the centre of developments - he is using the technology developed by Qualcomm and others and bundled it into swishy but limited devices which a tiny proportion of people have bought. Next year mirasol will be available. Apple will buy it. Mqurice

You are also obviously misunderstanding what Virtuous Victorian Values are: < Your 'stickiness' to old-fashioned VVVs made you miss the mark entirely on these significant developments. > They are old-fashioned in the same way that pure water and clean air are old-fashioned. They are old-fashioned like saving for a rainy day is old fashioned. As TJ has belaboured for years, VVV are not limited to idealistic English of the 19th century, but can be found in modern China were saving is good, family is excellent, working is desirable, producing is valuable, learning is essential, thinking is productive, ... VVV all. Mqurice
