<<Is there any chance for CUBE to spinoff its DIVICOM?>> Perhaps, but it may better to spin CUBE. <<Is there any chance for CUBE to be acquired by IBM/MSFT/INTC/YHOO?>> CUBE may be acquired, but it probably would not go to any of these companies! Definitely not to MSFT or YHOO. Probably not to IBM, because they have similar technology. Possibly to INTC, but hardware decode runs counter to their SW decode mantra that they hope will fuel the demand for powerful and expensive high-margin CPUs.
