The Q management has been careful to limit itself to facts and then draw practical conclusions from those facts. The WSJ does not follow that approach. The reply from the Q was fact based, not hype. While this may be too conservative for some here, it wears well. Chaz PS In the past, the Q was walking a tightrope with very very powerful antagonists throwing everything from spitballs to bricks. That antagonism dies hard, and I would guess the free lunches and press handouts from the likes of Ericy continue, as well as other "benefits" to friends and helpers perhaps, such as Quentin Hardy, that are more common overseas. Suggest a line from the old old movie "The Red Shoes" might apply here re the Qualcomm advantage. When a young composer found his work being played with credit to his mentor not himself, a friend told him, "How much better it is to be able to create and be stolen from than to steal, since you can continue to create, the thief can not.". (Note that is the gist not an exact quote.)
