Isn't FOX sitting on a lot of cash right now from that IPO? I would think they would be the ones pushing this technology. You think there is some squabbling going on over how to divide the pie? Hell, we own the technology and the patents and yet here we sit at the mercy of all our "partners" and unable to do anything. I do agree with you that when you get it, all your friends will HAVE TO HAVE IT. Let me know when you get it.
