Ut oh , Mr J better not quit his night Job - Pixar stock gets a hair cut Cut in half to $34 when you consider Pixar's once $60 share price . Here's the MF writing about Pixar's analyst Hatch: " But even if one didn't heed Hatch immediately, there was still hope. Like an ant under a sun-enhanced magnifying glass -- this one burned out gradually. Two weeks after the downgrade, when the Antz ad blitz proclaimed the October release, the shares exchanged hands for as high as $60 a share. The decline came over the course of the next few weeks, not overnight as is often the case. Sizzle. Sizzle. Pop. WHERE TO FROM HERE? The past year has been a mixed bag for the company. Disney has announced plans to team up with Pixar for a direct-to-video sequel to Toy Story. With Woody and Buzz reuniting next year, the company has stripped away the notion that this would simply be a short-film producer with a full-feature epic every three years.

What would be cool is if the world was inventoried and by donning a pair of glasses, everything physical around you also had data associated with it, superimposed over the natural scene... The glasses would require wireless communication to the server which would compare your location to a database of information. This seems very feasible and very, very useful. That's basically the idea, yes. Integrated PCS modem, Local positioning down to sub-centimeter accuracy, head-tracking, and voice or pen tablet interface. Ian Bruce New York, NY
