Ramsey Su: Two things. First, what happened with the previous spin offs? LWIN was removed from the Q at the discretion of Q management in order to make Q more profitable. Same thing was done with the infrastructure division. Secondly, Jacobs has stated that fairness is a criteria. Fairness requires equal treatment. If they did it before, they need to do it again. (whatever 'it' was) Let us see if he can hold Ericy's feet to the fire and make them pay up.(my reading of the current conflict) Secondly, These employees are not departing voluntarily. The company is cutting them loose. Individual firings/layoffs may forfeit the options but in the case of an entire division, (IMO) a case can be made that the options were forfeited at the convenience of the company and as such the company is liable.

Ah Ramsey, The below is the kind stuff that us low forms from the DELL talk about. To: Mohan Marette (123035 ) From: Darrell Smith Friday, May 7 1999 9:57AM ET Reply # of 123042 ERICY envisions 3G calls coming through your laptop: (from their site - of interest is that the laptop becomes a connection to your mobile phone, i.e., the laptop becomes indespensible for business people) <<A wireless terminal that is your gateway into the world of voice, data, video and multimedia communications. The year is 2005. You are travelling on the high-speed train across Europe or anywhere else come to that. On the table in front of you is your laptop computer. You sip a cup of coffee while you write a short report on the meeting you attended earlier that day. Suddenly, you hear the tone that tells you there's an incoming videoconference call. You click on the screen icon, the computer screen changes and you see your assistant's face. The two of you have a brief conversation. Then she tells you about a new Intranet site that could be useful for your next customer meeting. So without interrupting the conversation, you take a look at the Web site, and your assistant guides you to the most interesting pages. A few minutes later, your sales department calls and sends direct to your computer the technical specifications and price data you need for your next meeting, while you send your completed report automatically to the eight people who need copies. Meanwhile, a memo from one of your co-directors arrives on your computer. It's about an important item on your own company, broadcast on that morning's TV news report. A clip of the TV item is attached to the email, so you watch it. This is not science fiction. It is a preview of everyday communication services that will be a commercial reality within the next few years. So-called 'third-generation' wireless services (also referred to as '3G services') will significantly expand the range of options available to users and allow communication, information and entertainment services to be delivered via wireless terminals. The exciting thing is that the foundation for these services had already been laid down -in the shape of today's digital mobile phone networks. What is needed in order to support these advanced multimedia services is to expand the information capacity, or 'bandwidth' of the radio communications technology.>> Greg

Many of these posters also happen to believe God's last name is spelled D-E-L-L Hey, it got so bad over on the Dell thread last year that I didn't read it. (God's name was Michael Dell, Ramsey!) BUT When this stock splits and doubles again, We all may buy Qualcomm "Beanies", practice our "go, Qualcomm go!" chants, schedule "thread" meetings at the annual meeting, and start discussing what model of Jaguar we are going to buy.

Hey Ramsey I am also a new poster under those guidlines, and have been treated very well. I think the issue here is about proper behavior. Saying something like "go to the Yahoo thread" is really unaceptable, as is critisizing"its a great day". I think everyone say what they please, but use the common respect that you would use for a friend, or co-worker. Even towards Tero, and RAJ(remember him) nobody ever used a condescending attitude. It was just about the facts and Qcom.
