There are a couple of gems in this interview with Jason Hall of Monolith (Shogo, Blood2): voodooextreme.com ================ 8) What do you see as the next big step for gaming engines? How do you see the LithTech engine as working its way into the future? Obviously, the graphics in gaming engines are going to continuously improve. Things like bump mapping into LithTech is only the start. LithTech is going to visually become more and more stunning as the months go by. We are very much prepared for new technology as it comes out, as most of our ideas push past what current hardware can handle. It will be cool. You are going to see a lot of neat things like "superserver support" - (where you can dynamically link servers and have bigger servers control smaller servers. Example: server 1 is running a deathmatch map of a city, server 2 is running a different deathmatch map of a different city, server 3 is CONTROLLING the AI patterns based on activity in server 1 and server 2 while people transparently jump between server 1 and 2 while playing). =================== There are several lemons too...

this would obviously boost stock as it is doing today. Volume increasing while volume on the Nasdaq is not remarkable. I would say the long anticipated short covering is beginning. A squeeze is possible if the price goes above $15 but I am guessing that the short positions will unwind slowly to prevent that. Still it wouldn't take much more good news to kick this puppy up the stairs. TP

You are correct. Obviously CREAF knew that GATEWAY is going to select their card with TDFX chip before they purchased the shares. And if you remember, they said it was a good investment. This is an insider trading (since they were in a position to know this important deal and public did not know). It could have worked the other way around as well. They could dump their shares if they find out that gateway is going to switch to TNT in Q1 as an example). We (shareholders) are at the mercy of these big boys. Samething happened with INTC who received about 10% of RMBS stocks for free if they would only endorse their design. Guess what, they are doing more than endorsing. they are pushing it through everybody's mouth.
