I dont think we will be hearing from Jon or Gregg, I heard they were nailing up boards to their chateau's in beautifull Florida. On a more OT note, I thought stock action was surprising today, any comments. i figured Lwin was going down and Q was going up.

<<Apparently they believe that Qualcomm is wanting to make money from the patents.>> Conduct of this type is nothing less than abhorrent, if not immoral or even illegal. Should Qcom choose to persist with this type of business practice, I will immediately liquidate my shares in the company. Whatever happened to "tone at the top"? <GGG> I will be very glad when this whole IPR/Ericy/Shmericy/CDMA/Heinz 57th-generation ball of confusion/disagreement/smoke/mirrors and somesuch is finally resolved. It's getting old.

Maurice: RE: I'm quite looking forwards to the fight. I doubt it will come to that and L M Ericsson will take what they can get in the way of a licence from Qualcomm. I would not look forward to a fight on either side. The IP war could last for years which could cause either company to lose its focus. dave

Maurice, if you can't recognize that this is a sign that the Fed thinks the stability (= margin of safety from spiraling paniced collapse) of the U.S. and hence the world's financial system is not threatened at this juncture, you are less bright than I have long thought you were. This is not play time, and it's not all controllable by our Fed. They are acting early and smart because they know if they act late and brilliant there will be nothing they can do. Hopefully it will be contained. Many, many other shoes can drop. We live in interesting times, I'm afraid. Doug
