BillyG said, " What a way to snuff a skyrocket just after the fuse is lit". I came across this for your files. "These actions(TXN's purchase of AMTX for 395 million, on 13.2 million in sales, 120 employees),plus other strategic investments in recent mo. underscore TI's agressive plans to build their DSP product line. Recently, TI announced a 100 million Venture fund to seed new markets related to DSP, and 25 million for additional university research in DSP. On Sept. 9, TI formally opened a 150 milion R&D center in Dallas that will serve as the technology base for the ongoing development of leading-edge DSP sol. TI is clearly out to make thier name as the world's DSP company." 395 million for what Diosdado Banatao would call algorithm expertise + 100million seed money+ 25 million for university R&D + 150 million for their own R&D fac. Anyway, I'm glad CUBE has MPEG algorithm expertise and I hope that they are intensely focused. I keep thinking about this New York Design Center. George Thompson, that is right in your backyard and you know the people that could tell you what CUBE is up to. Just check it out for the SI thread and make a full report. Maybe E-mail me with your findings as I remember that MSU stuff not too long ago. Thanks in advance for your attention to this detail.

If LU is one of the companies that could really give CUBE fits we should know the man that will give them some of their direction..3.Curtis Crawford, President, Microelectronics Group, Lucent Technologies Inc. Crawford has focused Lucent's tractor beams on the communications market, pulling in customers by providing system-on-a-chip capability with smaller, warp-speed semiconductors. No funny stuff here--Crawford is targeting proven markets with growth above the industry average before he aims at riskier consumer-electronics markets. Maybe he won't want to bother with all this CE stuff and stick to the "proven markets". With prejudice like this no wonder CUBE can't get their stock headed in the right direction. But do they have algorithm expertise?JR do they? upside.com Here is a link for LU recent PR on technology that would put DVx on the head of a pin or less. I know you can do it CUBE, or better. Real or hype? Just kidding on that one. The experimental "nanotransistors" are only 60 nanometers, or 182 atoms, wide - four times thinner than the smallest transistors in today's integrated circuits. Yet in lab tests, these transistors excel by setting new records in speed, power consumption, and other key measures of performance. lucent.com
