It has been a good week with Apple agreeing that they should pay their bills.

But that seems to be all they agreed to. There was a lot of damage to Qualcomm and consequential losses.

Gratitude would have been a better Apple approach than litigation. But evil criminal bastards like Apple are unappreciative.

I enjoyed shorting them last year. I will show lack of appreciation again to Apple with a bigger short. But care is required as evil monsters are dangerous.

Note Qualcomm's Cloud AI100 Inference Chip. They are on the right track with that but I have no idea whether it's going to evolve to what I imagine. I would have sold out of Qualcomm about now but for that.

They have had huge opportunities and failed so that might be another:
Eudora
Globalstar
pdQ cyberphones
Leap Wireless
NextWave
Mirasol
MediaFlo
Halo

Plus many other failures...
Cinecom
Wingcast
WirelessKnowledge
AirFibre
724 Solutions
Various I forget

A few successes
Xiaomi
PayPal

Cloud AI100 would make all else trivial if it's the dinkum oil.

.....or I could have gone atavistic and put the money in gold instead of inventing the future.
