If you do a search for REGDEX on iHub's public messages, you'll see that most investors/traders find them to be a very bad thing.

I know....you're chowderhead...duh!
Yeah Blackdog, I agree, but ya gotta admit, when there is any measely hint of negative news the MM's bring out the hired guns...but not on this board...lol.
Course, the same happens in reverse. (up)
chowder, I know about your bet...I was rubbing it in.
Boy, churak must be LHAO...it really hurts, eh?
Very sensible report Chip.....thanks/
Boy, and I thought you were a traitor........lol.
Oh boy......another unhappy poster here........now that you've done your negative spin, will you be repeating this type of attitude on occasion?
Sounds about normal. Ya just knew they'd drop it in the AM.
owd.......dam, looks like you are correct. I just can't imagine how a company as large as F-T would even remotely consider dealing with such a small company about to go out of business......or how about Gateway.......would they deal with a company some here claim is a scam?
Isn't that what you and cass are preaching?
Looks like you'alls days are numbered.
owd3............
by you....
I am sure someone will tell Ford31 that I decided to help his education over here.

owd3.........now......please tell me.......
what in the heck would e.digital have anything to do with the operating temperature range of a piece of electronics?
This should be interesting!
Maybe I'll learn something here.
Well, clearly you do have much to learn. You demonstrate a lack of understanding of any type of business transaction. EDIG designed a player for F-T. To do so, F-T would have supplied specifications to EDIG as to what type of player they desired and what specs it should meet. Clearly F-T would have provided specs that would allow the player to operate within tolerances necessary to function inside an automobile. These specs would have been different than say the specs for a player that would operate inside a building.
When F-T states "They had to make modifications to allow it to operate over a broader temperature range" it means the design they had, that EDIG provided, does not meet the specs. EDIG designed the player and selected the components to use, if the Actel FGP is not capable of operating within the required specs, then EDIG errored in selecting that for the design. If it is the HD as Tinroad thinks, then EDIG should have accounted for the shortcomings of the HD when they designed it. They apparently missed that.
So what does EDIG have to do with the "operating temperature range of a piece of electronics", when they were supposed to design a player that could operate within a certain range, and their design falls short of those specs, it means they did a poor job that is not acceptable to the customer. If the design to date is not acceptable to the customer, EDIG would not be able to recognize those NRE associated with the design.
If you still don’t understand, please refer to the O1000 manual that states:
"Operational Temperature 41-104 degrees Fahrenheit (5-40 Celsius)"
Who do you think is responsible for that? That is the operating range of a piece of electronic equipment (the O1000), who would you say has anything to do with that? Anyone besides EDIG?
owd........what makes you think EDIG is designing the physical player...I would think FT is doing that......isn't EDIG just supplying the software?
already in the 40's........that's why the snow ain't stickin today!
MH.......what he seems to be saying is a CD won't play at colder temperatures if it's rock & roll, but jazz would play OK.
owd3.........now......please tell me.......

ahh....OK...I see it.
Whoooooooopps....Western Union just popped in.
TOMEEEEEKAY...I am......still see AT&T.
All I see is AT&T
SAY WHAT?
That PR kinda falls into place with EDIG.......IMO of course.....
available next year.....always a little late......lol.....but I'll take it.
HP to turn on music service, flat-panel TVs
sorry if this was already posted
By Ina Fried
CNET News.com
December 2, 2003, 2:46 PM PT
Hewlett-Packard plans to offer flat-panel televisions and its own digital music service early next year, according to a source close to the company.
The music service, expected to carry the HP name but be run by a partner, likely will be followed in short order by an HP-branded music player. HP is aiming to launch the televisions and music service at January's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, although plans are still in flux, the source said Tuesday.
As previously reported, HP is eyeing both the digital music and flat-screen TV markets as part of a deeper push into consumer electronics.
"Entertainment will be a very big focus for us going forward," HP Vice President Chris Morgan said in an interview Monday. "We think this holiday (season) was about digital photography first and foremost...A year from now I think entertainment is going to be an equally big deal, as is digital photography" today.
As for televisions, Morgan called the move a "natural extension" of the company's position as one of the leading sellers of displays.
The move into music players is not entirely new. Compaq Computer had a line of digital music players before the merger, though the products were later discontinued. Both HP and Compaq have sold devices that connect digital music libraries to the stereo, including the current Digital Media Receiver product.
Although HP is following companies such as Apple Computer, Gateway and Dell into the market, retail analyst Stephen Baker of NPD Group said that it has some advantages over other computer makers.
"The first advantage they have is pretty deep and extensive relationships with the retailers--more than anyone on the IT side," Baker said.
At the same time, Gateway and Dell have a captive customer once they get someone on the phone, while HP must find ways to distinguish itself against a variety of competitors, he said.
"That's probably HP's biggest challenge," Baker said. "They are going to be in an environment where there is a lot of choice. They need to find a way to stick out."
Tim Deal, an analyst with Technology Business Research, said that PC makers see the potential for higher margins with MP3 players and other gadgets, but that the companies will have a challenge making devices that are unique.
"Right now, the barrier to entry into this market is very low," Deal said. "What is HP's differentiation going to be?...What is going to tie the hardware to the music service? I don't think anything but the (HP) name."
HP also will need to get stores to showcase its entertainment products, or it might find itself lost against better-known names in the new categories it is moving into, Baker said.
"It has always proven to be difficult in a retail environment to try and move from one section to another," he said.

Musicians Turn to SML's Weed After Demise of MP3.com
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 2, 2003--The downfall of an early leader in Internet music distribution is turning into a windfall for a Seattle startup. On December 3rd, Internet music pioneer MP3.com will shut down its servers and simply erase over 750,000 songs stored on them. But some of the most successful MP3.com artists have already moved on to Weed(SM).
Weed, a service of Seattle-based Shared Media Licensing, Inc. (SML), is designed to encourage Internet file sharing rather than try to stamp it out. The result is a completely new distribution opportunity for independent artists. Instead of restricting Internet file sharing, Weed actually pays people to share music on the Internet.
A song in Weed's format can be played 3 times for free before the listener is asked to buy it, using Weed's free software to conduct the transaction. Buying a Weed file unlocks it, and also allows transferring it to a portable device or CD.
The unique twist is that buyers who share Weed files with others who then buy them receive 20% of the sale. In addition, 10% of the sale price goes to the buyer one generation back, and 5% goes to the one before that. Content owners get 50% of every sale, and the remaining 15% goes to SML.
Weed's revenue-sharing model means that people who insist on stealing music and sharing it on the Internet cut themselves out of revenue along with the artist. It finally puts everyone on the same side.
"We're seeing MP3.com artists from around the world and across the musical spectrum turn to Weed," says SML President John Beezer. "For example, Dutch dance/trance/ambient composer Rody Coronel, with over 2.5 million downloads on MP3.com, is now offering Weed files on his site. The rockabilly combo, Hillbilly Hellcats, with over a quarter million downloads on MP3.com, has also made their work available in the Weed format."
Seattle producer Jack Endino, widely credited with discovering the seminal rock group Nirvana in the mid-1980's, is enthusiastic about Weed. "It's the first approach to Internet file sharing that actually makes sense. Weed means independent artists finally have a viable method for selling music on the Internet."
New York producer Alexander Perls, who has produced a string of dance hits in Europe, has also begun using Weed to sell music directly to fans. "The dance music scene is fast moving and computer-literate -- it's an ideal market for Weed files."

Shucks, Tin beat me to it...lol. Great response there Tin.
IMO........voice nav would set HP apart from the rest of the group.....wouldn't you think?
HH...personally I think you worry too much...jmho.
Wait and see........then.........we can laugh or cry.
lmao.....
Sentinel.....
bloodbath was the wrong word.....to me a bloodbath would be a dime. :<(~~~~~
Sentinel.........
just a feeling from the past, no news as anticipated.
If something doesn't fly today there could be ton of selling.
The difference though compared to the past is we have products, oem's and our bottom line is ever improving.
I feel the momo and daytraders if any are left will bail today if no news, plus the holiday.
The way they walked down the price at the close yesterday was BS.
Just don't like the scenario.
JMO, that's all.
Now, let's think POSITIVE.
lol.....yup...that's funny.
You mean you don't trust fast freddy?
I believe you have the record for "deleting" your own
posts three times in a row. :):):)
Well, hope there isn't a bloodbath tomorrow.
NITE........no pun intended.
cat got your tongue?

You are missing the point my friend. The IFEs are exactly what makes sense for the airlines. If these devices can be retro-fitted for wireless content access (they can), then airlines can slowly convert airplanes to a satellite solution, while still "hooking" customers to the IFE service.
Its a win-win for EDIG .... A solution that they are going to fall back-arse into ... and make us all $$$$.
You need to stop focusing on the negative. The company has turned the corner. It does not mean that we can assume the financials will turn that corner, but we shall see once Gateway revenues begin to flow + IFE ones as well. At that time, we can assess the relevance of all these new business developments.
Give them a break. Before we had products + hype + OEMs, and no quality retail channels. Now ... we have products + OEMs + quality retail channels, without the hype. Which is better for you?
I believe he said it well.

Hoping EDIG will be this week.
