Drmyke: Thought so. Thanx. lns EOM
They picked the perfect name, huh, koko! EOM
pvc: magnanimous...I love that word. Hey, his posts at least offer their own flavor of off-beat, sad humor and for that, to me, is worth enough to keep him around. But, yes, we don't want this to become the playground.
Some tactics are just too transparent.
Dr. Myke...the list?
TIA, lns
menamiketrx: No, APD would say, "Hey my glass is half empty..." and then the rest. Ahhh, such a pessimist he is.
tommyo: Please find the article again on your browser (for those of us that would like to read it and so that your points can better be clarified by us reading the same article you did) and simply copy and paste the link to a post here.
If there is no website and it just came down as a dowloadable PDF or something, then just copy and paste the entire text to a post here.
TIA, lns
Dr. Myke. Dr. Myke. Paging Dr. Myke...
Have you been able to compile the list of companies who are starting their own competing WordRegisties (minus AOL's "keyword")?
I'm dying to DD them and see if they have an edge over the WordRegistry that NeoMedia is currently setting up.
Just want to keep the patients informed.
TIA, lns

success622: Do you know when the last time APD showed himself around here? RIGHT before the AirClic settlement PR.
Yes, their presence bodes well for us all. :)
SOG: Interesting book. Thanx for that. EOM
tommyo: Since a link wasn't provided, no, I didn't dig for it because I didn't have the time. But, possibly what you're thinking may be true but that doesn't negate my comment.
ALYBBB: 'gettin 'er done! Thanx. EOM

tommyo: IMO, if they're still in the "academia" stage of their research, they'll be long left behind in the heat-up that's already starting to happen in this mobile space where NeoMedia has positioned themselves almost perfectly smack dab in the middle of it. The next two-three years are gonna be real exciting for some companies in this area, and I think NeoMedia's gonna be one of them. Kinda hard to invest in a computer science project.
Who know's thought. Those dudes at SC may find something there and they'll be leading the way in the "next" big thing regarding mobile search. If so, I just hope they wrap it up into launching it w/ a public company. One that we could all get in on early, just like what we have here in NeoMedia.
:)
whattheheck: If you're seeing such bad signs and painting such a gloomy picture, why would you stick around? Are you still a shareholder? If so, why? TIA, lns
donbalon: Maybe it did got to SAIC. If so, my guess would be it was part of the structure of the contingency basis of the contract. I mentioned before, IMHO, I think the fact that NeoMedia paying SAIC on a contingency basis points to the fact that NeoMedia was in the "drivers seat" in that relationship and possibly had in their agreement that if NeoMedia decided SAIC were to stay around on a permanent (or loooong term basis) then they were going to be paid in shares.
Things changed. Their business plan didn't.
From all indications, this engine's still firing on all cylinders. Just waiting for them to hook up the N20. ;)
Mauring: Yes, through moderators. EOM
Zacked: Have you placed a sell stop yet? EOM
whattheheck: With a slam to management's integrity you state, "The 10Q was released after the markets closed this past Friday - in the middle of August on a Friday suggests to me it was an attempt to bury it and keep it quiet."
IMO, if they really wanted to keep it "quiet" they wouldn't have mentioned it at all.
Also, it's August, the standard month they are expected (and MANY MANY others) to release their quarterly report.
And, what's it matter what day of the week a 10Q or any other SEC filing is released? If anything, by releasing a 10Q on a Friday gives the scrutinizing investor that much more time to make sense out of it before the next opening session.
I don't see anything at all wrong with the way they handled this. Nothing. They have their reasons for doing what they do and from what they've demonstrated with the building of their company, relationships and profits, it should be just as apparent to all that there's nothing to be alarmed about here...and from the looks of today's trading, it was.
I didn't see a panic sell, did you?
The only sound of alarms I heard demonstrated today were posts like the ones you've offered up.
wtf: lol! oh, sorry, "wth". lol! EOM
whattheheck: heat, warning signs...same thing. BTW, it did. Thanx for caring. lns
Zacked: Funny, I heard the same thing said at the playground about the badger joke. Seems like a very familiar statement to me. Are you two...no...wait...couldn't be...
"By the way, the thorizine joke is getting very old and annying."

This badger stuff is boring. Has anyone ever heard of the ignore feature? Bashers are here so it is a good sign something will happen soon in my opinion..
OH, and since you publicly showed your excitement to us all about your reply receipt of an email from "Chuck", you know you now have us wondering....
What did "Chuck" have to say??? Anything exciting?
TIA, lns

NeomRocket: Just updated my post on PUPS. EOM
NeomRocket: PUPS = Pickups Plus. From the 10Q...
On February 25, 2005, NeoMedia invested $250,000 in exchange for
8,333,333 shares of Pickups Plus, Inc. ("PUPS")(OTCBB:PUPS) restricted common stock. PUPS is a retail operator and franchiser of retail automotive parts and accessories stores catering to the light truck market, and also provides new vehicle preparation, environmental protection packages, detailing and reconditioning products and services. The 8,333,333 shares represent approximately 5.8% of PUPS outstanding shares (based on 125,249,954 PUPS shares
outstanding as of September 30, 2004). Because the investment represents less than 20% of PUPS outstanding shares, NeoMedia has recorded the investment at cost and analyze it for impairment going forward. As of June 30, 2005, NeoMedia
has recorded an impairment of $129,000 due to the decrease in the quoted market price.
On February 25, 2005, NeoMedia signed two non-binding Letters of Intent to acquire up to 100% of Automotive Preservation, Inc. ("AP"), a distributor of automotive paint and accessory products, from AP's parent company, PUPS. The first Letter of Intent calls for NeoMedia to initially acquire 30% of AP for
$1,600,000, to be paid $600,000 in cash, $554,000 in shares of NeoMedia restricted common stock, and $446,000 through the assumption of AP debt by NeoMedia. Under the second Letter of Intent, upon completion of the acquisition of the initial 30% of AP by NeoMedia, NeoMedia would have the option to acquire an additional 30% of AP for $1,650,000, payable in shares of NeoMedia restricted common stock. The second Letter of Intenr also gives NeoMedia the option to purchase the final 40% of AP for either: (i) $2,200,000, payable in shares of NeoMedia restricted common stock, if NeoMedia exercises this right within 12 months of acquiring the second 30% of AP, or (ii) a price equivalent to AP's previous quarter EBITDA multiplied by 8, payable in shares of NeoMedia restricted common stock. Both Letter of Intent are non-binding and subject to due diligence by NeoMedia and AP.
JP: No naysaying here. I'm right w/ ya on this, "Also IMO, SAIC solicited NEOM and not the other way around."
"My (lns) belief is that if it wasn't a requirement (anybody know?) to give that detail (NeoMedia engaging SAIC on a contigency basis) then they did it so that logical and astute shareholders would deduct from that that NeoMedia was/is in the drivers seat in that relationship and I for one have to believe that it was an ammicable decision between NEOM and SAIC to go the direction they did."
contingency:
1a) An event that may occur but that is not likely or intended; a possibility. 1b) A possibility that must be prepared for; a future emergency.
2) The condition of being dependent on chance; uncertainty.
3) Something incidental to something else.
BTW, any comment on my email? Curious, that's all. TIA, lns
Appreciate it, heg-22. lns eom
heg-22: You're the one that's worried about it. Give them a call or send them an email. Looking forward to hearing your feedback from them (paraphrase if need be) since you've publicly brought up the concern.
I'm not concerned...I have faith in their words and their past actions have proved that they are a management team that's worthy of their shareholders trust. They haven't steered us wrong yet. Quite the contrary from where I sit.
heg-22: Chaz and company have been working for years on getting to this point. What leads you to believe they don't know what they're doing? If that were the case they wouldn't have gotten this far. "Who is keeping an eye on the factory??" Chaz and company.
Be cautious but by the fact that they were paying SAIC on a contingency basis tells me that NeoMedia was/is in the drivers seat w/ that relationship. IMO, the door's been left open to help when they can and are/will be needed.
JMHO, lns
Oh, and to answer your other question (followed, IMO, by a preposterous statement), "By the way, does anyone know what group is responsible for maintaining and enhancing the PaperClick software? The current Neomedia staff doesn't seem to have that type of in-house experience."...
From the latest 10Q, top of pg.7:
NISS (physical world-to-Internet offerings) is the core business and is based in the United States, with development and operating facilities in Fort Myers, Florida. NISS develops and supports NeoMedia's physical world to Internet core technology, including the linking "switch" and application platforms. NISS also manages NeoMedia's intellectual property portfolio, including the identification and execution of licensing opportunities surrounding the patents.
and again near the bottom of pg. 12:
NeoMedia Internet Switching Services (NISS), is based in the United States, with development and operating facilities in Fort Myers, Florida. NISS develops and supports the Company's physical world to Internet core technology, including NeoMedia's linking "switch" and application platforms. NISS also manages the Company's valuable intellectual property portfolio, including the identification and execution of licensing opportunities surrounding the patents.
jayoperator: And, did you notice that the demo folders have been updated? Just updated on Friday. Something's going on.
lowman: Better than 2-3 weeks from now! :) EOM
Looking over the slides on that INSP presentation (Dogpile's good) it goes to show how one search just doesn't do.
Navigation's where it's at (or will be at). :)
pennyheaven: IMO, sometimes things just fall into place. ;)
Have a Blessed Sunday!
Picksit: Glad to see we're on the same wavelength w/ this one...
"This isn't search, it's navigation based on only one word...spoken, written or photographed...one word. There can only be one registry."
Huge.
Glad this ship's in capable hands.

martyMAC: There you go. ;) EOM
Thanx, Picksit for clarifying that. Guess that means that NeoMedia is pretty savvy. Not a bad thing. They know the pull of a relationship w/ SAIC brings so they let everyone know about it...again, there's no reason for them to give every goory detail concerning how payments/compensations are transacted. Who knows (I don't) if they even really had to let us know in the 10Q of the fact that were paying SAIC on a contingency basis.
My belief is that if it wasn't a requirement (anybody know?) to give that detail then they did it so that logical and astute shareholders would deduct from that that NeoMedia was/is in the drivers seat in that relationship and I for one have to believe that it was an ammicable decision between NEOM and SAIC to go the direction they did.
Why? For the simple fact that where's the evidence to believe or think otherwise? The only thing that would cause one to think that would be "fear".
At the end of the day, if you think that NeoMedia has something that can one day bring in the necessary revenue to propel their bottom line north to profitability, then if you want any chance to remain levelheaded about your investment here you need to park your "fear" at the door.
In this case it seems evident to me that to NeoMedia (and I'm sure they can back up their justification for doing so - THAT would be a good question to bring up at the next shareholders meeting) this was a non-material event.
So, if THEY though that way about it (and they have not demonstrated to me a reason to distrust their intentions or motives up to this point) then why shouldn't I think that way about it???
Park the "fear" at the door.
Thanx, ss9173. Keep us posted. EOM
neotchian: And that's a good thing in this case for us. ;) (if I understood the jist of your post)...you were referring to NeoMedia owning the "bridge", right?
Here Here! NEOMBRIDGE. Exactly! EOM
ALYNNB: Thanx for confirming my original thoughts about NR's during a "quiet period" last night. I thought that was the case. Who knows, it still may not be! lol!!!
Holdin' Long. Livin' Stong. Lovin' the Ride.

RogerWilco: Welcome and am glad to help clarify things if I can. Sometimes I may miss my mark and confuse things instead, but I try.
I look forward to your future contributions to this board. lns
