427: Re: Since you can't remember NV having a graduate student at Cambridge work on the tech, as well as David Greaves, then that's your fault not mine.
LOL. More word twisting...
Greaves was named to the advisory board. The student at Cambridge presented a poster about guard loss interval - as minor component of noise reduction. There has been no public statement that I know of (and I have read them all) that supports your claim that "David Greaves and Cambridge developed the most important part of Embarq, the last 20%..."
For those of you who are new here (and there seems to be a lot of you), Cobra and I seem to always play this little game. I write a fact-filled, well-reasoned and critical post about how this company has, in my opinion, perpetuated this scam, and he picks out one tiny detail and attempts to argue endlessly about it. In this case, he obviously fabricated some foolishness about Greaves and Cambridge being responsible for 95% of the performance claims of Embarq, when there is absolutely no evidence to support his claim. In fact, much of the public information contradicts it.
I can only assume that his agenda is to detract from the real matters at hand, like my comprehensive post about the dismal history of this company. I also find it interesting that he seems to only post after I do. Coinky-dink?
Sounds like Spokeshaves missed out on the run up....BITTER are we???
Not entirely...
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=9799989
I have zero interest in trying to prove anything to you.
OK. I guess that's settled. You can't provide any proof for your assertions. I didn't think so.
To show the way you think, you accused me of making up the work that David Greaves did when there were many announcements made about him.
Yep. Here comes the inimitable 427Cobra word twisting. I kinda miss this. There were announcements about Greaves being named to the advisory board. I never disputed that. But that's not what you said. Here. Let me refresh your memory:
"You totally left out the most important ingredient in the new tech. David Greaves and Cambridge developed the most important part of Embarq, the last 20%..."
That is not anywhere near the same thing as Greaves being appointed to the advisory board. You made a clear and unambiguous statement as though it were fact. I asked you to prove that. You now tell me you can't.
It seems you *did* make it up.
At least that's settled.
And dont forget the Hellosoft in in on the conspiricy and the fact that Mr Cooper purchased 100,000 shares from the company with no intregity
Cooper made an open market purchase and spent $6300 on shares that are now worth almost triple that after the pump. The guy is worth millions, and you are willing to disregard all of the negative indicators based on a single $6300 purchase?
*If* the intend of his purchase was to lend credibility to this company for the gullible, then it obviously worked.
As for HelloSoft, they are not necessarily in on any "conspiracy", but they were paid by the company. A lot of comapnies will say a lot of things if paid to do so.
Less than you are.
I know you are, but what am I...
I take it by your infantile response that you really *do* have proof to support your claim. I'll wait patiently...
I don't know that any of them are currently buyers or receiving warrants. If you can name a mossy that received warrants I'd be very surprised.
I didn't say that "mossies" received warrants. I was talking about last years "investors".
However many of you folks have been openly bragging about how you got in just in time for this run-up. Now, either you are:
1) Monday-morning investing and really didn't buy
2) Were told a pump was coming
3) *Incredibly* lucky with the timing of your buying.
Do the math...
You totally left out the most important ingredient in the new tech. David Greaves and Cambridge developed the most important part of Embarq, the last 20%, yet you didn't even mention that part.
They did?
Prove it.
The tech briefing clearly stated that the remaining 20% was that which was needed to adapt PowerStream to phone line use.
Unfortuantely, that tech briefing is no longer available. I have it archived at home though. I'll be glad to post it later when I get home. Meanwhile, I will be anxiously awaiting your proof that Greaves and Cambridge developed the most important part of Embarq.
If that fabled Greaves/Cambridge 20% was responsible for Embarq being over 20 times faster that PowerStream, why in the world would they claim that Embarq was based 80% on PowerStream? Your argument makes no sense, and you can provide nothing to back it up.
Making things up again Sherman?
Some people have asked me in private mail why I haven't posted in a while and to weigh in on some of the latest developments. Well, I looked back at a post I made about a year ago, and thought this would be a good time to add to it. Following is my interpretation of the events going all the way back to Cu@OCx. These are my thoughts and opinions, so take them as you wish.
NVEI began (I think) as a 3-D movie company. They also dabbled in other snake-oil endeavors such as CD-based business cards. At some point, Ray got introduced to Al Blevins and Mike Sheppard, who claimed to have a remarkable broadband transmission technology. Rather than market this technology to telecom equipment manufacturers, they were introduced by Ivan Berkowitz (I think) to Ray and his little 3-D movie company. Al and Mike thought they had something big. I think that Ray and Al and Mike actually sincerely thought that they could bring the original Cu@OCx to market. You must *really* have an ego to think that three people who have no formal education in the science of DSL could produce something much better than the best minds in the world can do, but from what I have heard, Ray's ego was up to the task. But, physics got in the way of their plans and it turned out that Cu@OCx was a bust. It just didn't work. That didn't stop them from issuing PRs announcing "progress" and hiring of Fleishmann-Hillard, Quint and others. But in the end, Cu@OCx simply did not work, despite all the hype.
Now, Ray was in a predicament. He was pulling down a nice $250,000 salary for doing nothing, and did not want to give it up. Remember, Ray has absolutely *no* telecom or DSL experience. He had a publicly traded company that was listed as being in the telecom business. As long as he could keep investors interested and sell stock, he could keep up his salary without doing any actual work. But he needed a hook. Cu@OCx was dead, and too many people (Lucent) knew it.
Enter ANI.
They had a technology on the drawing boards (PowerStream) but didn't have the funds to complete it. Ray had access to money, but had no technology. It was a match made in heaven. So, Ray and ANI ink a deal. Here is where I think the dishonesty really began. I believe that Ray and Propp both knew full well that PowerStream could never be used over phone lines competitively. Look at the ANI website. The very best that PowerStream can do is 5Mbps according to their data. Yet, NVEI made claims that the PowerStream-basedproduct could do over 100 Mbps. Furthermore, the development agreement between ANI and NVEI seemed to clearly indicate that PowerStream was a mature, working technology. Only over a year later did we find out that PowerStream was nowhere near completed at the time.
Now, think about this. First Cu@OCx was touted as being far superior to the nearest competition, and it was developed by two guys with no experience in the field. Now, NVEI was claiming that PowerStream-based Embarq was, once again, far superior to anything on the market, even though the ANI web site claims that PowerStream can only do 5Mbps. Bottom line is that the company publicly claimed to have developed two completely different technologies that far exceeded anything on the market. The first one was proven to be a bust, but miraculously, the "new" one was just as good. Yeah, that's likely...
But it was a telecommunications technology, and they could sure make it look like they were trying to make it work. So Ray promises to fund the completion of PowerStream and Propp in turn agrees to act like he is working on Embarq at the same time. So, Ray pays off all of ANI's debt and gives them a big hunk of cash - a total of almost $6 million. Propp and his gang busily start the job of finishing PowerStream. Meanwhile, Ray continues to lead investors down the garden path, sell wallpaper and collect his fat checks. NVEI makes public statements that an FPGA prototype will be released by the end of 2002. (this is important, as you will see) He brings Cooper on Board, but Cooper has integrity and sees right through the scam and departs just a few months later. Immediately following Cooper's departure as CEO, NVEI fails to deliver the FPGA prototype as promised.
Enter Ketch. This guy has never held a job for more than a couple of years, but he has a telecom pedigree. That looks good on the "corporate bio" and investor fact sheet. Plus, Ketch gets to also pull down a fat salary for doing nothing. Of course, he has to have zero integrity to play along, but I know this is so, since he told me a bald-faced lie on the telephone without even flinching. So, Ketch is perfect for the figurehead who helps perpetuate the scam.
So, now you have Ray raising the bucks, and Ketch writing nice little "Dispatches from Supercomm" and "President's Letter" while Propp and his gang are working on PowerStream.
In the fall of 2003, PowerStream is done. A PR to that effect is released. All along, we investors were led to believe that PowerStream was done a long time before, when NVEI licensed it from ANI. Obviously, this was not so. Anyway, now ANI has their FPGA, and the "Technical Update" comes out that says Embarq is composed of 80% PowerStream. Remember that PowerStream can only do 5 Mbps, according to the ANI web site. Yet, NVEI is making outrageous claims of throughput of 20 times what PowerStream can do, and investors are gobbling it up. Once again, an FPGA prototype is promised for the end of 2003. The charade continues. Propp has no intention of actually trying to make Embarq work since he knows it won't work. But he just got his project paid for by Ray.
Of course, 2003 comes and goes without an FPGA prototype - just like the year before. NVEI does announce the release of a prototype, but it is computer based. Two potential customers wer supposedly evaluating it. Needless to say, here we are three years later and those evaluating companies were never heard from.
Meanwhile, we have the film. The books only show about half a million in revenue, but some of the details of the distribution agreement are still secret, and all of the money went through TSP, which is unauditable. Sweet deal. John Howell made many statements about potential revenue in the $40 million range, only to have the company "reiterate" a $20 million target. In the end, the movie only returned a couple hundred thousand.
So, here we are, 4 years after Cu@OCx, and Ray has taken home over $2 million over the table, and God only knows how much under the table with all of those shady share giveaway deals. Plus the many millions in the "Compensatory Elements of Stock Issuance" catagory - who know where all of that money went. Even the $1 million raised two years ago for technology development was never spent on R&D, but Ray and Ketch got paid anyway. Last year, they signed a $3.5 million death spiral financing deal, but only spent $366,000 on R&D. Meanwhile, Ketch gets a $70,000 bonus.
But now, Propp and ANI have moved on to their business after you and other shareholders funded his product. 3 years have gone by since the first promise of an FPGA prototype, and nothing has yet been delivered. Investors are getting anxious, the stock price is plummeting and Ray and Brad's gravy train is faultering. Ray needs another hook. Enter HelloSoft. A secret deal is signed with secret phases defined and a lot of PR hullabaloo is issued. Interestingly, none of the PRs offered any details about exactly what HelloSoft was doing. Nonetheless, yet another promise (the third one) is made that an FPGA prototype will be released by year end. Remember that this happened twice before, and no FPGA prototype was ever produced. No doubt that Ray and Brad believed that they needed to come up with something convincing. So, they announce the release of an FPGA prototype in December. However, they also tell us that we can't actually see one and that only two select customers will be given one. They announce "availability" of an unavailable product. They also produce a spiffy PDF flyer with details about their new "product". It had a professional-looking image of a chip in the corner, and a picture of an impressive circuit board with an arrow pointing to a chip, identifying it as their FPGA.
I guess that they did not anticipate the tenacity of yours truly. I thought that the fancy picture of the chip, emblazoned with the EMbarq logo looked familiar, so I looked around. As an AMD investor, I had a hunch. The picture was, in fact, a stolen image from AMD and was a picture of AMD's very successful Opteron server chip. The offending picture was hastily removed from NVEI's web site shortly after I revealed their deception with my posts here.
I was also dubious about the picture of the circuit board in the flyer. I looked closely at the board, and it seemed clear to me that it had "Actiontec" engraved into the board. With the help of another skeptic, we found a photo of an *identical* board that was the guts of an Actiontec wireless DSL modem. Clearly, this company had intended to deceive us into thinking this was a picture of their own work, when in actuality, it was nothing more than a picture of the insides of a run-of-the-mill modem. Shortly after I revealed this deception here, the flyer was revamped to replace the bogus modem board with a picture of a different board.
It is abundantly clear to me that this latest promise to release an FPGA was just as bogus as the first two. This company pirated images from AMD and took pictures of modem boards and tried to pass them off as their own FPGA. The fact that these images were hastily removed from their site is proof-positive. I still have copies of the old bogus images if anyone is interested - as well as links that prove the images were bogus ripoffs.
Every assertion I have made here is dramatically supported by fact. Although I have speculated as to the motives for this bizarre littany of events, everything in this post actually happened.
Which brings us to today. Throughout the history of this company, they have orchestrated several pump-and-dump events. Some were more successful than others. This latest one was without a doubt the most successful. They are indeed getting good at it. I firmly believe thatthese P&Ds are crafted to reward insiders and "investors". A quick look at the filings shows that a number of "investors" got warrants with a strike price of $0.17. Coincidence? It is also interesting how many of the so-called mossies mysteriously knew to load up just beforethe runup. I am sure that a lot of the chest-thumping was mostly monday-morning investing, but it sure seems that some folks were plugged in to the pump scheme.
So, here we are. Compared to last year, the number of outstanding shares has tripled, and has increased almost tenfold in the last 4 years, and that is following a 4:1 reverse split. Shareholders will now be forced to allow the number of authorized shares to increase to just under a billion. This company has raised over $50 million in the last 4 years, but in that same time period has spend less than $600,000 on R&D, while spending almost $3 million on salaries. Anyone wonder where the rest of the money went? I challenge *anyone* to find any semiconductor company in the history of semiconductors that has spent five times as much on executive compensation as they have on R&D. Its ludicrous.
Anyway, I have written far more than I intended to. There you have it.
The other one, the so-called RSMI Facts board, is primarily a playground for mickeygold and excel - oh yeah, and mr slappy, to spout repetitive negatives against RSMI.
Apparently a playground for you too...
iam: Re: Retort as you may, and will for sure - but there come's a time when any decent person would wish the best for others and not continue to try to "pee in their soup" at every chance they get.
I have posted exactly 12 times in the last month on this board. My latest post was an expression of my opinion on the latest PR. This is, after all, a discussion board. I discussed the PR. If you don't like my posts, put me on ignore, but stop trying to censor my opinions. Your agenda is showing.
I was simply pointing out that RIM, because of their financial status, cannot obtain a government contract. That is a fact that I would be perfectly willing to back up if need be. Go ahead and ask the company for the GSA RFP number. See what kind of answer you get. Do a little reading on Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), GSA and DCAA. Rather than trying to censor my opinions, try to actually learn something yourself.
I have repeatedly pointed out inconsistencies, lies and deception on the part of this company, and will continue to do so. Your attempts to stop me only strengthen my resolve.
As for the recent pump, well, I am impressed. It is far better than I predicted it would be, but I did, in fact predict it. If anyone made money on it, then I am sincerely glad for them. Even so, when this company misleads investors, I *will* comment on it. Get over that.
I'm sorry, but this is the most unbelievable amount of hogwash I have ever seen coming from this company. Here is what I said just a week ago:
It seems like this company is always on the verge of delivering a product that addresses the most current industry hot topic. First, it was "last mile" and according to the 2004 SHM presentation, "Embarq" was aimed at the business end of the spectrum. Of course, that terminology was abandoned for "triple play" that became directed at the home user. Then, it became a "video-over-copper DSL chip", exploiting the HDTV craze. Now, they add VoIP to the mix. All without ever delivering anything except stolen images.
I have been scratching my head thinking about how they will manage to get "nanotechnology" and "hydrogen fuel cell technology" into the next PR.
The last line should have read: I have been scratching my head thinking about how they will manage to get "nanotechnology", "hydrogen fuel cell technology", or "homeland security" into the next PR.
Unbelieveble. This company would have you believe that the US Government is interested in buying chips from them, even as they tell you that they won't have chips until Q3, and only then if they can raise untold millions of dollars. Please allow me to shoot a few holes in this PR. Just as I was absolutely right about the bogus pictures that RIM tried to pass off as their FPGA, I am absolutely right about the following. I do business with the Government every day. I know how this works. So, here goes:
1) The government does not make modems. In fact they don't make anything. They buy things that are already made. As such, they would not buy chipsets.
2) Any government contracting award must be DCAA auditable. A company that has a "going concern" statement in its filings cannot pass a DCAA audit and as such cannot be awarded a government contract. That is a simple fact.
3) The GSA does not "invite" companies to respond to solicitations. They post "requests for Proposals" (RPFs) to which any company can respond. Of course, only those companies that qualify can actually be awarded contracts, and with a "going concern" statement RIM cannot qualify for any government procurements.
Those of you who are in regular contact with the company can rather easily verify that this is utter BS. Simply ask the company which RFP they are bidding on. RFPs and bidder lists are a matter of public record, and the company would have absolutely no legitimate reason not to provide this information.
Did you notice that Spoke has been strangly silent? I have a feeling that he's been maken hay while the sun shines too.
I bought some shares (not many) back in December hoping to play the pump with the vapor FPGA release. Sold most of it Friday.
I can't explain the run up, though we have seen this before. This is the most effective pump scheme yet.
Has anyone actually read the Reuters report? Or confirmed its existence?
The link provided was to a secure server for e*trade, and even though I have an account there, I can get the link to work, nor can I find any Reuters reports in the e*trade research tools.
Congratulations to those who have actually made money on this pump.
People said the same thing about Centrino when it was this early, too.
I don't think so. Centrino was always understandable to the layperson as *the* way to do wireless in a laptop. Of course, there is more to the platform, but Intel did a remarkable job of selling the mobile aspect of it. When people bought a Centrino machine, they knew (or were at least effectively marketed into thinking) that it was the de facto standard for mobile computing.
Viiv, on the other hand, has many people simply scratching their heads. Everything that Intel claims that Viiv will make possible, people can already do. There is no hook.
My IT manager told me that he would not get a Viiv machine because he would like to be able to get content from other sources than those offering Viiv compatible content. He's a pretty smart guy, but obviously has no idea what Viiv is. Shoot, I'm not sure exactly what it is myself.
Maybe there is better marketing to come. Even if there is, it hardly seems like marketing brilliance to start thinks off with utter confusion. Intel has, so far, completely missed the boat in marketing the branding and features of Viiv. I still have to strongly disagree with Smooth that Viiv is a "great marketing move", which was, of course, my original point. It clearly isn't - at least not yet.
I think AMD fans and the rest of the community seems a little dumbfounded about VIIV. It's clearly a great marketing move.
I can't quite grasp how leaving anyone dumbfounded, or confounded for that matter, can be construed as a great marketing move.
Centrino was a great marketing move albeit an expensive one. It seems that Intel has forgotten how they did Centrino with Viiv. No one seems to really know what exactly it is, how to say it, how to write it, or what it does for people.
It may very well be another great "platformization" effort for Intel, but the name, the market awareness and the perception of consumer benefit seems to be decidedly absent. At least so far.
jjz34: Re: ... you may want to read that release again Spoke. It says 1.4 to be released in q#2 will be in FPGA form, and the ASSP in Q3.
Typo on my part. But you're right. It doesn't change a thing particularly since a quarter is only three months and Brad himself has said (in the RAQs that have now been removed from the site) that it will take six months to produce an ASSP once feedback from potential customers has been incorporated into the design. Ver. 1.4 will purportedly be released in Q2, and the ASSP will be released 3 months later?
Surely you see the inconsistency there.
I gotta hand it to these guys.
They have managed a tidy little pump (no doubt with an associated dump to come) on their VoIP ploy.
It seems like this company is always on the verge of delivering a product that addresses the most current industry hot topic. First, it was "last mile" and according to the 2004 SHM presentation, "Embarq" was aimed at the business end of the spectrum. Of course, that terminology was abandoned for "triple play" that became directed at the home user. Then, it became a "video-over-copper DSL chip", exploiting the HDTV craze. Now, they add VoIP to the mix. All without ever delivering anything except stolen images.
I have been scratching my head thinking about how they will manage to get "nanotechnology" and "hydrogen fuel cell technology" into the next PR.
On a related note, they sure seem to be pushing the limits of "safe harbor". There is a difference between "forward-looking" statements and outright lies. The filings clearly state that they do not have anywhere near the money to actually make a production chip, nor do they have any prospects for raising that money. Yet, they proclaim in a PR that they expect to produce an ASSP on 2Q without any qualifications about funding.
For those of you who have been holding out for a bump in share price, I suggest you get out now. As has been typical of these orchestrated pump routines, a large dump will follow.
427: Re: IHUB: Has now become: The blind leading the blind.
When this site consisted of nothing but cheerleaders predicting vast riches for everyone involved, would you admit that it was also the blind leading the blind then?
jjz34: Re: But if you were Brad, what would you have done differently, assuming for this hypothetical that you truly felt from a technology standpoint, that you really had something potentially of value to the market?
Interesting. I would have expected an attorney to recognize the circular logic in this question. In fact, your question serves to further underscore what is apparent to mosty of us by now - that it is highly unlikely that there is in fact something of value from a technological standpoint.
Consider that similarly positioned companies with technological claims significantly less impressive than those of RIM have, in the same time frame, raised copious funds and developed several generations of successful products. Ikanos, Metalink and Centillium come to mind as examples. Each of these companies began their technological development at about the same time that RIM did. This is easily verifiable. Each of these companies was developing products during that time frame that, according to RIM's claims, are far inferior to what RIM is developing. Yet, each of those companies has successfully raised capital (over $100MM each) needed to bring products to market, and each of those companies have successfully brought to market at least 2 generations of volume products.
So, I would offer you a question in return. Given that similar companies were able to raise capital, develop dramatically inferior (according to RIM) products, produce them and become successful industry leaders, during which time, RIM could not even produce a working FPGA, how would you explain that?
Frankly, I can only think of two possible answers:
1) RIM management is inept and unable to compete with other companies that have what RIM claims are inferior products.
2) There actually in no viable technology to develop.
Am I missing something?
As long as we're asking questions, let me offer one more. If you were Brad, why would you use another company's artwork (presumable without permission considering the picture was withdrawn) to represent your chip, and why would you display a picture of an Actiontec Wireless DSL modem board and pretend it was your FPGA board?
I'm not trying to be a smart-ass. I really would like to know how you might rationalize these obvious deceptions if you were Brad.
My guess is that the litigation section is missing because there is currently no litigation in progress.
What is more telling, IMO, is the absence of the "Executive Compensation" section. It is incorporated by reference to the proxy statement, but that statement came out many months before year-end. Actual executive compensation for the FY is conspicuously absent from the "K".
I have learned a lot about how people read SEC filings and it looks like they need to brush up on them.
Clearly, you have studied the "K" in detail.
Perhaps, then, you can tell us which required section was glaringly absent?
Maybe others can guess why...
10-K is out too...
You're right. I was reading the calendar wrong.
The "K" should be out, well, today actually. That should be interesting.
cosmo: Re: Now how ridiculous is that??
What are your thoughts?
Aww, come on. What did you expect them to say?
"In an effort to keep the faithful "on the hook", and to further the false impression that we actually are doing something, we pirated some art from AMD and passed it off as our EMbarq30 chip. Additionally, Ray opened up his DSL modem and took a picture of the motherboard, photoshopped our logo onto it and we then inserted it into the PDF and passed it off as an FPGA board.
Unfortunately, there is a guy on IHUB that spotted these farces and notified the companies that we stole the images from. When the restraining orders arrived, we were forced to remove or change the images."
EW: Re: Could the same technology be used to do the same thing over one fat piece of copper cable tv wire with minor modifications?
I see no reason why any PHY technology could not be used over cable, though there would be standards issues with any non-standard technology.
Cable, by virtue of being shielded, has a much hinger bandwidth capacity than unshielded twisted pair.
bobide1$$$: Re: The board is very simular to a part of Hellosoft's WLAN board
I agree. It would also seem that the device pointed out by the arrow in the RIM PDF is actually an Altera Excalibur embedded processor photoshopped with the RIM logo.
ophelia: Re: Can anyone read the data on the 3 Intel chips? That might provide a clue as to what this board really is or is supposed to do.
The Intel chips are Flash memory chips (you can see the stylized "Flash" logo on them). Flash memory can be used in virtually any device.
Well, I feel vindicated....
The esteemed folks ar RIM have replaced the Actiontec Wireless DSL modem board featured in the Embarq PDF with a new image of a different board.
http://www.rimsemi.com/ds_nvstr2.pdf
I will say this - the new board is a much better deception than the Actiontec board. They even went to the trouble to Photoshop "Hellosoft" onto the board (as well as photoshopping the "Embarq" logo on the chip).
At least they found a picture of a real development board this time.
I think it is painfully obvious now that the original photo was indeed not an FPGA board at all, but was instead a bogus attempt at deception.
jjz34: Re: ...since you have all the evidence, go see the DA and have at it...just remember, case name, court venue and case number please...
Why do you keep demanding this?
You're the lawyer. Why don't you do it?
I'm confused. What exactly is it you want?
Take my advice. Put excel on ignore.
iam: Re: maybe it's just me,but I can't read "take it to market" in that statement.
I'm wondering, then, what your thoughts are about this statement:
Rim Semiconductor Company (OTCBB:RSMI), an emerging provider of semiconductors to the broadband telecommunications industry, today announces that its first product is now available. This new semiconductor is the only transport processor on the market that is designed specifically to meet the demanding requirements of telephone companies wanting to deliver video, data and voice services over copper wires.
Maybe they should have readtheir "code of ethics" before penning that PR...
Actually, I got an answer too...
Merry Christmas everyone!
iam: Re: ...even though you usually address me with you snide comments, and usually alude to my inability to grasp reality, I'll offer my dumb help.
Was that really called for? Sheesh. You call me snide...Grow up.
I have tried that link several times and it won't open for me. In fact, it locks up my computer. It worked fine for me on the same machine last night.
Oh well. Must be something on my end.
I also can't get the PDF to open either. Can anyone else?
It looks like AMD must have figured out that RIM stole their art. The ripped-off pic is no longer on the RIM website.
EW:Re :I suspected that you probably wouldn't have the class to admit you were wrong. Looks like my suspicions have been confirmed.

I did admit it. Now, we'll see how much class *you* have...
427: Re: I don't see them claiming ownership of a circuit board, only a chip.
Bingo!
The chip on the Actiontec circuit board is not an FPGA - hence it could not be RIM's FPGA.
Get it?
goldrusher: Re: Have you contacted AMD?
Yes. No reply as of yet.

You're unbelievable. YOU, of all people, have the unmitigated audacity to call me DISHONEST?
All I can say is that I hope you come down with this company, and I hope you come down hard.
