Great News. Thanks. 5 million in pre-launch investment...5 million plus in official pre-launch customer revenue [if i'm correct in assuming the bigger launch will be at the IBC in Amsterdam 11-15th not down playing the GigaOM's Mobilize 09 conference and trade show in San Francisco, on 09/09/09]! When are the doubting thomas's goin to convert to "now you see it" believers.....LOL
You Gotta Believe
Scottrade has not updated todays PR yet. Is this out on the main news wires yet?
Obviously the PR was written by
Public Communications Co.

and pretty much only the word "google" has been deleted from the phrase Googles Android Platform. The platform is an open source developer platform made available by Google to all developers. IMO the content of the GetFUGU PR was meant to relate that its initial launch will take place on the Android(tm) platform never intending to infer Google gave support as stated below although ultimate accountability to screen and verify the contents was GetFUGU's and GetFUGU's alone.
"The Getfugu application is designed to work on all mobile phone platforms. Over the next several days and weeks, we will launch on several of the most popular mobile platforms"
It makes common sense to build your application as compatable as possible, with as many platforms as possible so that its available to as many mobile phone platforms as possible.
It could be an honest mistake in communication with Public Communications Co., or maybe not, but the important point is that the GetFUGU application is adaptable to all important platforms and will be available for 97% of the mobile phones available (over 3.3 billion handsets) worldwide.
Here is the complete correction

Android was developed by the Open Handset Alliance
What would it take to build a better mobile phone?
A commitment to openness, a shared vision for the future, and concrete plans to make the vision a reality.
Welcome to the Open Handset Alliance™, a group of 47 technology and mobile companies who have come together to accelerate innovation in mobile and offer consumers a richer, less expensive, and better mobile experience. Together we have developed Android™, the first complete, open, and free mobile platform.
Overview
Building a better phone for consumers
Today, there are 1.5 billion television sets in use around the world. 1 billion people are on the Internet. But nearly 3 billion people have a mobile phone, making it one of the world's most successful consumer products. Building a better mobile phone would enrich the lives of countless people across the globe. The Open Handset Alliance™ is a group of mobile and technology leaders who share this vision for changing the mobile experience for consumers.
Innovating in the open
Each member of the Open Handset Alliance is strongly committed to greater openness in the mobile ecosystem. Increased openness will enable everyone in our industry to innovate more rapidly and respond better to consumers' demands. Our first joint project as a new Alliance is Android™. Android was built from the ground up with the explicit goal to be the first open, complete, and free platform created specifically for mobile devices.
Making the vision a reality
Android is not just a blueprint for the faraway future, but a complete platform that will give mobile operators, handset manufacturers, and developers everything they need to build innovative devices, software and services. We are committed to commercially deploy handsets and services using the Android Platform.
We are committed to commercially deploy handsets and services using the Android Platform.
Android™ delivers a complete set of software for mobile devices: an operating system, middleware and key mobile applications.
Open
Android was built from the ground-up to enable developers to create compelling mobile applications that take full advantage of all a handset has to offer. It was built to be truly open. For example, an application can call upon any of the phone's core functionality such as making calls, sending text messages, or using the camera, allowing developers to create richer and more cohesive experiences for users. Android is built on the open Linux Kernel. Furthermore, it utilizes a custom virtual machine that was designed to optimize memory and hardware resources in a mobile environment. Android is open source; it can be liberally extended to incorporate new cutting edge technologies as they emerge. The platform will continue to evolve as the developer community works together to build innovative mobile applications.
All applications are created equal
Android does not differentiate between the phone's core applications and third-party applications. They can all be built to have equal access to a phone's capabilities providing users with a broad spectrum of applications and services. With devices built on the Android Platform, users are able to fully tailor the phone to their interests. They can swap out the phone's homescreen, the style of the dialer, or any of the applications. They can even instruct their phones to use their favorite photo viewing application to handle the viewing of all photos.
Breaking down application boundaries
Android breaks down the barriers to building new and innovative applications. For example, a developer can combine information from the web with data on an individual's mobile phone -- such as the user's contacts, calendar, or geographic location -- to provide a more relevant user experience. With Android, a developer can build an application that enables users to view the location of their friends and be alerted when they are in the vicinity giving them a chance to connect.
Fast & easy application development
Android provides access to a wide range of useful libraries and tools that can be used to build rich applications. For example, Android enables developers to obtain the location of the device, and allows devices to communicate with one another enabling rich peer-to-peer social applications. In addition, Android includes a full set of tools that have been built from the ground up alongside the platform providing developers with high productivity and deep insight into their applications.

and I believe there are no CD's
CD's are usually OTC or Pink stock killers
Look at 10k for details
Absolutely no help from the MM this week. 4-8pt gaps, selling below the bid, buying below the ask..unbelievable
You must be friends with Eric Schmidt. Thanks for the info
I agree. GFGU is sought of like a new search engine for camera phones like google was for web searches. This is the baby phase.If google had gone public years ago instead of after becoming accepted they would be experiencing the same welcoming today as GFGU. Apply the Accelerant... I cant wait for adulthood!
Sweet & Sour... Part of the picture here IMO is that Although 4 mil cash is a great confidence builder and this is a company with a future, I think GFGU Temporarily lost the trust & interest of investors with it association to SPNG after SPNG announced a R/S 1:100 right after their decision to give GFGU 4 mil in cash. Just ask any SPNG holder although the R/S would have happened either way and GFGU should be looked at as an additional benefit
Totally different ballgame here. We're not a physical theme park. A different kind of entertainment. This is the unlimited virtual world and his value association in china alone is huge
You can thank the ground work from such websites as Facebook, Myspace, Google, You tube for opening the eyes of advertisers to a new world of web media and high tech advertisement. The world has fast become a savvy place in such a short period of time. This is cool
Totally Dude
Their unusual name? lol…
All in one software offering ground-breaking facial recognition enhancements, vision recognition, voice recognition, location recognition, Hot-Spotting [business common sense is “one stop shop” why have 5 apps when you can have one great one]
Then there are some influential key people just to mention two
David Warthen [CTO] - Internet search pioneer and Ask Jeeves (Ask.com) founder
Michael Jay Solomon [Board of Director]- an entertainment industry veteran and past President of Lorimar Telepictures and Warner Bros. International Television. Mr. Solomon is currently a principal of Shanghai Media Group Broadband (SMGBB) which streams Chinese language broadcast networks from China onto the Internet; Solomon has an exclusive contract with Shanghai Media Group for the next ten years
Buy now. Whats a few pennies
Thanks for the info. IMO Fox Business News, being tech & twitter savvy, should jump all over this in the near future. Would love to see Alexis Glick, VP of business news for Fox, all over this..Main Stream is where these PR's have to be for innovation and big name recognition. With talk of Starbucks, google, apple...Fox is the place it needs to solicit attention from
A lot of weird &%$!#. Selling below the bid, buying below the ask...A lot of weak hands on both sides
Hey I know, its a tuff day when you decide to release your game changer software on the same day there is an earth changing event, having to compete with the release of the Beatles Rock Band and Apple's big news announcement. Like Hollywood releasing three big blockbusters on christmas day LOL..Its just a matter of time
Market maker has played games here. There seems to be some huge gaps between bid and ask..noticed it for a few days. Reminded me of something I read once.
Some ways MM's entice sellers; Run the stock up with a "tight spread" in a fast market, then "open" up the spread to slow down the buying interest. After it has "cooled off" for a little while lower the offer below the last trade right after a small piece trades on the offer then tighten the spread so that the sellers feel they can take a "quick profit" by "hitting the bid" on the tight spread.
Once the selling starts the MM's will walk it down quickly by only making small prints on the way down with the tight spread. Another way is by running the stock up in the morning, averaging up their short then use the above technique to walk it down in the afternoon.
Hopefully after doing this for several days, it will demoralize the buyers. The volume will dry up and the sellers will materialize thinking that the game is over.
Contrary to popular opinion, MM usually Do Not Cover in Fast moving markets either Up or Down if they are short. They Short More. They usually try to cover after the frenzy is out of the market. There are many other techniques they use but the above are the most popular.
This technique works about 9 times out of 10 particularly in a BB market. However that is because 9 out of 10 BB stocks are BS. Remember what I said above. Most MM's don't have a clue as to the value of a Company until they get trapped. If the Company has solid fundementals and a bright future. Then the stock will do very well. And the activity that caused the situation will prove to even help the future stock activity because it created an audience."
I cant believe no one is talking about the stock they want to see fly tomorrow...well the bright side is, even the basher is silent
Just rehashing some PR, but it supports "the world is my oyster theory".
GetFUGU laboratories have seized upon an advanced technology of facial recognition which will be swiftly embedded in their software and be available to the more than 2 billion mobile phones around the world. GetFugu's application allows the GetFugu user to query a subject's web identity by looking at him/her through their mobile's camera.
"The SIGNIFICANCE of this ground-breaking facial recognition enhancement is INESTIMABLE," Rich Jenkins, GetFugu's Vice President for Development, stated. "It will connect the World Wide Web with the physical world, creating one's reality from one's own perspective. The dating world will most likely be the earliest adapters, but business will quickly learn that this modality increases the speed of commerce, as users around the world snap pictures of people they interact with and receive instant information about the products, services, and proposals represented by their contacts."

If the same wacko mentality that thought Television, Computers and google would never amount to anything have their way or MM has to cover their moves...Zero
But in a world where truth and common sense eventually always prevails among bloggers,light bulb ideas find purpose and big name customer associations drive revenue ...I'm hoping for $3 by Friday all though I'll be holding for higher returns in my pot o'gold at the end of the rainbow..it might take time to catch on then again it might rocket
Noooooooooo...In til 10.00
Sad side of trading stocks is that there is the unknown Quotient to the formula in determining the value of a company. That unknown is the MM and the MM agenda
The Devil and the MM are driving it down. This is an absolute buy for it shall fly. Another 4 million accumulated through investment. Only a half brain would be blind to this investment. Huge potential
Buyers all day and no movement
This isnt a market of businesses, its a market of manipulators and makers..FIRE THE MM and let business dictate the market
The question is how long were they in Possession of this information and how far along has the supposed solution come, if even truthfully initiated
I would assume this is a small crisis and the official Tenn State oil and gas board would have honest and actual reliable information.
IMHO..the true market value of this co at this point is .0001-.0003..the only saving grace holding up pps are the MM
whats wrong with this picture?

FDA amendment published april 2008 relax the requirement to file an IND based on foreign clinical studies which were once based on the ethical principles stated in the 1989 version of the Declaration of Helsinki or the laws and regulations of the country in which the research was conducted, whichever provided for the greater protecrtion for the individual. With the new rule based on GCP [Good Clinical Practice], in addition to the influence the board has, there should be no problem getting the process going based on foreign clinical studies
The FDA's current rule on Foreign Drug Trials
http://www.theworldlawgroup.com/docs%5CFDA%20Drug%20Trials.pdf
VRAL has successfully completed 5 clinical trials for the use of VGV-1 as an HIV/AIDS treatment and has proven statistically significant results.
Not only has the VGV-1 injectable drug proven its effectiveness in Phase 1-3 trials in South Africa, but it is substantially more cost effective than alternative HAART drugs. Whereas current HAART oral drugs must be taken for life, the VGV-1 injectable drug is administered through 16 intra-muscular injections over an eight week period
The VGV-1 injectable drug has successfully completed Phase 1-3 trials in South Africa for the treatment of HIV/AIDS and has proven statistically verifiable results that confirm both the drugs safety and effectiveness in treating the HIV virus. Since Phases 1-3 have already been completed overseas, one could assume an FDA approval for the use of VGV-1 would be fast tracked.
It seems the only blog fix i get these days for VRAL is reading the blogs on Yahoo. Are there no fans anymore? I dont think TAPS are in order yet
wow!!!where is everybody...Am I the only one with shares? It went up .0035...Yahoo!!!
Phelps interfaces with governments, other companies in the technology industry and outside institutions to broaden awareness of intellectual property issues.
Marshall C. Phelps, Richard T. Gerstner and Anthony Freda, Jr. Join Viral Genetics, Inc. Business Advisory Board and Invest in Private Placement
These three veteran business executives and high-tech investors have joined as the founding members of the Company's business advisory board. This advisory group has been established as a vehicle for experienced business executives to assist and advise the Company in the development and commercialization of its technology. These newly appointed board members come to Viral Genetics at a pivotal time bringing over 90 years of Fortune 500 management, investment and intellectual property experience at Microsoft, IBM, Eaton Corp., Spencer Trask and other firms.
Two of the founding individuals, Marshall C. Phelps and Richard M. Gerstner, also entered into private placement subscriptions with the Company.
A private placement (or non-public offering) is a funding round of securities which are sold without a initial public offering, usually to a small number of chosen private investors.[1] In the United States, these placements are not subject to the Securities Act of 1933 and do not have to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, although the sale must conform to SEC rules. Private placements may typically consist of stocks, shares or warrants and purchasers are often institutional investors such as banks, insurance companies or pension funds.
To Plagiarize is to agree..for I have not the time to debate
If I may take some opinion/fact posted previously
Posted by: Pecuniam
Quick *****VRAL******* DD
Only a handful of people realize this- but VRAL seriously does have the most likely chance to become the next DNDN among all small cap biotechnology stocks.
Consider the following facts:
(1) VRAL scientific advisory team consists of the 2008 Nobel Prize Winner for Medicine (Dr. Luc Montgainer), a former U.S. Surgeon General (Dr. C Everett Koop), specialists at Harvard Medical School (Dr. Eric Rosenberg) and Marshall Phelps, Jr. (Microsoft’s lead IP/Patent attorney)
(2) The VGV-1 injectable drug has successfully completed Phase 1-3 trials in South Africa for the treatment of HIV/AIDS and has proven statistically verifiable results that confirm both the drugs safety and effectiveness in treating the HIV virus. Since Phases 1-3 have already been completed overseas, one could assume an FDA approval for the use of VGV-1 would be fast tracked.
(3) The CEO of VRAL (Haig Keledjian) is a very passionate scientist, not a businessman. He has been running VRAL since 1995 and is certainly not running a fly-by-night operation. He’s in it for the long term successful completion of FDA approvals for VGV-1.
(4) The mechanism of action for the VGV-1 injectable drug has been discovered by one of the most prominent Pharmacologists in the nation, Dr. Karen Newell from the University of Colorado.
(5) The injectable VGV-1 drug appears to have other autoimmune applications including the usage of the drug for treatment of Lyme’s Disease. VRAL has been awarded two separate grants for the R&D of VGV-1 usage to treat Lyme’s Disease. Since the mechanism of action involves the immune system and could potentially treat a variety of autoimmune diseases, VRAL is pursuing a separate patent for each unique VGV-1 treatment (i.e. one patent for HIV/AIDS treatment, one patent for Lyme’s Disease treatment, etc) which allows for a number of different revenue streams moving forward.
(6) Not only has the VGV-1 injectable drug proven its effectiveness in Phase 1-3 trials in South Africa, but it is substantially more cost effective than alternative HAART drugs. Whereas current HAART oral drugs must be taken for life, the VGV-1 injectable drug is administered through 16 intra-muscular injections over an eight week period.
(7) VRAL’s CEO Haig Keledjian personally told me that he believes their IND will be filed by the end of Q3 and that FDA Phase 1 trials will begin before the end of 2009.
(8) VRAL has successfully completed 5 clinical trials for the use of VGV-1 as an HIV/AIDS treatment and has proven statistically significant results.
I seem to recall that VNDA went from 45 cents to 16.00 on FDA approval alone...I think it was a a drug for Schizophrenia...anything can happen, in any time frame
correction...retired most of the debt
They had to establish there wasn’t a connection to the incidental pump at the same time save the PPS. The news of the retirement of a major CD is always good because a CD is usually the number one killer of a penny depending on terms. Honestly, I expected an immediate PR follow up to prop up the PPS, but not so quick. Seemingly, IMO, the news lets on the filing is set for the end of year at the earliest
[“The company has completed certain laboratory studies required for an IND filing, and is planning animal studies that are also required, but the actual completion and filing of the IND package itself are not expected until later this year at the earliest, pending funding of required studies and successful completion of them”]
…and is actually a very strong statement that they have definite plans and intend to file…not many companies come clean and give up the goods or describe their future plans so honestly.
In regards to the A/S and O/S, “as of July 13, 2009 the company has 350,948,256 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, out of 750,000,000 authorized and as of July 13, 2009, the company has 5,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Shares issued and outstanding out of 20,000,000 authorized”, I’m surprised they were able to retire the debt so early on before the A/S reached a billion…This is definitely promising…
Tomorrow just might surprise the dickens out of everyone…GLTA
Dear Students
If you’re legit you have nothing to worry about but a word to all you pumpers who censor information all investors should know, your time is gonna come...Unfortunately,this is exactly what happens when penny stock promoters neglect to do business with 100% transparency so please let this be a lesson for the rest of you hiding under the guise of anonymity on the web: the Feds Will Find You!
I guess that is why Dean calls it "Barely Legal Inside Information" LOL
