"CBS is taking an unusual interest in this story. Yes it is big, but something about their interest leads me to think they are getting info somewhere or are involved. 3. The exec. from soft bank is to savy to have accidentally been as lose lipped as he was. His comments were calculated to create the very frenzy they created. Think about it, to be in negotiations with another company and essentially publically state that you want them badly makes no sense if you are tying to get a good price because you lose leverage. Thus, another motive had to be invovled, and the deal has to be almost done. In closing, do you know why the IDTC Yahoo message board was down so long a at the first of the month. There may be a good reason that it was down, but I haven't heard it yet. I found it interesting that it was down so shortly after the CBS article referred to the info that was posted on it. As soon as it started working again, major news came out. Is it possible that it was intentionally taken down in connection with the events that are transpiring -- ie) some sort of request, etc. Thanks in advance for your reply." that was from another YAHOO poster...{KSE by: bww100 44975 of 44983} cheers
