I sold all my QCOM quite some time ago. I still bookmark this thread, though, seeing QCOM as a reasonable trading stock. But this thread has become exceedingly tedious, with all manner of OT garbage, self-styled philosophers, etc. I might actually read one in ten posts that I skim over, and I have found that the ramblings of certain individuals can be ignored altogether, having very little to do with the objective of profitably investing or trading. I can see wandering OT from time to time, but when it predominates? . . . Sheeesh!!!!

Well if mister software developer isn't pissed. I'm not surpised. Up yours Bruce. First Maurice and his fascist parade; and now a socialist. Hot damn we got a red bloodied American, telling me to "Love it or Leave it." I opposed AT&T's monoply, but I work in the industry. Seems you can't see the growing monoply in yours. It is called competition and better pricing for the consumer, which you aren't getting out of MSFT. Yet hardware prices are falling fast now that INTC has some competition. End of the month, I'll be able to buy a 266 Pentium II for under $1700 or a 200 Mhz pentium for under $800 from a MAJOR box maker. Seems that when they broke up the telephone monoply, prices went down and product/ innovation went up, but you oppose that, now didn't you Bruce. Then again, why support CDMA Bruce; there is that wannabe monoply, GSM, to prostrate yourself too like you do Redmond. Don't like the commentary, you got a fking choice, DON'T READ IT** Narrow minded, hypocritical asshole.

Bruce, I am sure that you are a hard working, smart businessman. Do you need local government's police forces to protect your safety and hard-earned property? Do you need government soliders to protect you and your families from other aggressors? Do you know without university's government's research grants, Dr. Jabobs and Dr. Viterbi will not be able to develop CDMA? Do you know how much sale revenues of Microsoft, Dell, Compaq, GE, Boeing, etc. are from US governments and other country's governments? Do you know how much sales revenures from your customer are from government? Do you know 50% of QCOM's current directors used to be government employees? Do you know the internet that you are on was government's project previousely? I believe you are talking about government inefficiency which you dislike. Correct? Good luck to your investment.
