SWAGTA: Shorts covering, IMO. EOM
Personalizit: Everything starts w/ a dream. EOM
Personalizit: Without knowing exactly how it works I can imagine how it could work in conjuction w/ the WordRegistry.
Let's say the Nature Conservancy secures words to a multitude of animals, birds, plants, fish, etc. then w/ the image recognition software they can simply add a picture to correlate w/ the word. Type in "Poison Sumac", say "Poison Sumac" or take a picture of "Poison Sumac" and it can all automatically take you where the "owner" of the word "Poison Sumac" in the WordRegistry wants you to go.
I would imagine that there would be a way to easily make an image go to either just a picture to save on the phone, have it "entered" into the "Go Window" so to speak, or both. I would imagine it would be that way for spoken words to work as well. The "PaperClick" or equivalent software would have to be enabled first for the spoken word, or in this case an image, to be deciphered and the correct website or online information be retrieved.
Ditto, here, mactex. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to meeting you in Vegas. lns
Barcoding nature...this is how I see it could realistically be done. Using the image recognition capabilities of Mobot's technology I see it to be the practical way to "barcode the world".
Going on a nature hike...you got the whole encyclopedia right in your pocket. Not sure what Poison Sumac looks like...just take a pic to find out. See a crazy looking bird and your dying to know what it is...take a pic to find out. See a burrowing animal and think it might be a badger...click a pic to find out for sure.
Thanx for the update, success. EOM
Did anybody else notice this at the bottom of today's NR...
"PaperClick is a registered trademark, and PaperClick For Camera Phones and PaperClick Mobile Go-Window are trademarks of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. AirClic is a trademark of AirClic, Inc. Mobot and Mobot.com are trademarks of Mobot, Inc. Other trademarks are properties of their respective owners."
Why would they feel the need to mention AirClic in the boiler-plate statement if they aren't mentioned at all as part of this NR?
Is this meaning what I'm thinking...AirClic is now part of NeoMedia? Otherwise, why the free press?

woogerbear: Exacamundo! :) EOM
ss9173: Mobot completion guess...6 weeks. EOM
ss9173: I was just thinking along those lines. With Mobot being a private company, this aquisition could be completed even before BSDS!
The SEC won't be nearly as involved. It's gonna be a snap in comparison.
hixoninvest: Thanx for the dig update. EOM
NeoMedia will RULE m-commerce if/when this aquisition is complete. I mean, WHAT A POWERHOUSE OF INTELLECT NeoMedia will be comprised of. Mind-boggling all that brain-power focused in the same direction under one roof.
The management team of NeoMedia headed by CF makes me feel very comfortable to be an investor in their company. Honest, hard-working, driven and possessing of great vision and wisdom.
GO NEOM!

beacon: LOL!! You know what I mean...they gotta start somewhere. Gotta walk before you can run.
kgoorich: Many Thanx for the pointers! :) EOM
jayoperator/hixsoninvest: From the Mobot website...
Mobot’s solution.
In response to these image quality challenges Mobot has developed a powerful, scalable, and flexible patent-pending solution which relies on image recovery, pattern recognition, and image matching capability ‘in the cloud.’

beacon: Were you born w/ running shoes? :) EOM
Mobot: Now that's an aquisition that gives me the warm fuzzies! :)
Drmyke: I think your friend is right. EOM
ifitlooks: Good question from Xobile's perspective. Don't know how much they knew beforhand going in. I've thought about the possible ScanBuy buyout scenario myself and it just rubs me wrong everytime I imagine it.
It appears to me that NeoMedia goes out of their way to conduct business in a very amicable manner and for some reason, I just don't think a NeoMedia takeover of ScanBuy could be accomplished without serious damage to some egos.
Unlike Virgin where I can easily see a very amicable relationship, I can't imagine that w/ ScanBuy. NeoMedia's threatening their very existence and I don't think a caged animal would make for a very good business partner. JMHO.
I do very much appreciate the repost of that VITALLY important exerpt from the recent S4 recapping NeoMedia's gameplan. Very timely.
yellowjacket: I do believe it's truly "automatic" and no user intervention is required. CLICK > CONTENT.
It's probably nothing more than any other piece of software that's programmed to launch a separate utility from itself once certain criteria is met. In this case the criteria being the successful retrieval (and deciphering I would imagine) of a code or word by the PaperClick software to launch the "host" browser.
I don't know but I'd imagine that during the installation of PC on a cell phone it retrieves the default browser information and if it can't for some reason it probably won't install properly.
No "PC Alert Mode", but "armed and dangerous".
beacon27: How do we know that the day before the Virgin and AirClic PR's were issued the settlements were completed. They may "have" to announce, but they can do it on their own timeframe. If they want to wait a bit to release, they can.
The Virgin and AirClic PR's only state:
July 12, 2005
NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), an innovator in wireless services and patented technologies that provide automatic links to Internet-based information, said today that it has reached an out-of-court settlement agreement with AirClic™, Inc., of Newtown, Pennsylvania, a provider of mobile process automation solutions.
June 29, 2005
NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), an innovator in wireless services and patented technologies that provide automatic links to Internet-based information, said today that it has reached an out-of-court agreement and settlement with Virgin Entertainment Group, Inc., whom it sued for patent infringement in 2004, with Virgin agreeing to purchase a license to use NeoMedia’s patented PaperClick® technology platform through 2016.
So, on 6/29 and 7/12 they announced their out-of-court agreements but that does not tell us when they actually agreed on the settlement.
NeoMedia will announce when it's in their best interest to announce. Investing is a gamble and so is business and we're witnessing one heck of a hand of poker here. They ain't about to show all their cards at once.
In due time...this week or next?
- Stock chart's shaping up
- Badgers out in force
- Merger finalization deadline past
- "LeapScan" introduced: Internext Summer 2005 expo August 5-7
- 10Q due out
Roll 'em!
vines3: It's not that confusing. ScanBuy's "Optical Intelligence" and NeoMedia's "PaperClick" are performing the same function of getting a user to an internet site in one click by taking a snapshot of a barcode.
Would Xobile really play both sides of the fence, using NeoMedia for their WordRegistry and ScanBuy for their "Optical Intelligence" technology? That wouldn't make sense. Why wouldn't they just use PaperClick in that case since they're already using the WordRegistry? Now, if you ran Xobile, would you do that?
For folks that may think NeoMedia is just "tinkering around" showing us the capability of the PaperClick "Go Window" and demonstrating the operation of the WordRegistry by having "Xobile" function by taking one to an actively working WAP site, they're out of their mind.
Free publicity to a porn venue? I think not. They have plenty of other "demonstrations" already there, no need for another one.
Nope, it's plain as day if you ask me. Our first real world view of one way NeoMedia is working their business plan for their technology to be a vital link making m-commerce for marketers worldwide a reality. This way is through licensing the PaperClick technology for others to use as their "own".
Vivid licenses from Xobile who licenses from ScanBuy who licenses from NeoMedia who puts Xobile into the WordRegistry because Xobile asked for it. Xobile offers LeapScan FREE to anybody who wants to download it..."Coming Soon". One vital avenue of their business plan, executed.
USER > video store > Vivid DVD > barcode > cell phone > Click > Xobile > ScanBuy (does the work) > NeoMedia (gets the coin) > SAIC rides shotgun to the bank
Yes, ScanBuy says they aren't infringing...we'll just have to wait and see what the outcome is.
Looks good from where I'm sitting though.
ifitlooks: They're in the bag, IMO. EOM
cloud8: Even better w/ an English accent. EOM
OT: Boldini, where did THAT come from? LOL!! EOM
kgoodrich: Thanx "Teach". :) EOM
adamski: Nobody knows for sure if the April rise in PPS was soley due to TS. I think he was just stirring the water because others knew (who told him - his "ChangeWave Alliance") that Virgin was finally in the bag and it was just a matter polishing up the settlement docs.
Sure, he had a part but I think the bigger part of the move may have come from those who told him. JMHO
SWAGTA: Also, look at the ADX setup. EOM
beacon: I'll drink to that! EOM
Picksit: To better understand the reasoning behind the introduction of the .mobi extension just ask yourself...what's the reason for the other varieties of extensions: .com, .org, .net etc.?
The .mobi extention has nothing to do w/ keywords directly. That's the WordRegistry.
IMO, the .mobi extension would allow those keywords though to be able to have more than one "response" from the WordRegistry servers...either a standard PC protocol configuration or WAP website would be "called up". I'm sure the "switch" will be able to determine if the Word "request" came from a landline internet connection or from a mobile internet connection and direct accordingly.
It also provides a structure to create better standardization methods.
JP: I don't know if your remember but a few months ago I made mention that a good buddy of mine works for one of the countries leading web-hosting companies (Verizon just bought them from MCI who bought them from Intermedia who were the first to buy them out...Digex). They have all the big ones including UPS, USPS and "this company".
Well, "this company" houses and manages many of the worlds largest companies barcodes. Well, in an unprecidented move a few months ago they started the move to DOUBLE the size of their capacity across the country. Unheard of. Why would they do that? hmmmmm....
"This company" and my "bid" for the "boobie prize" is: UCCNET

success622: Thanx for confirming that. I was thinking that was the case. I asked that because I see them and ScanBuy being almost identical in the direness of their situation by being sued for patent infringement. It's their whole existence. Virgin on the other hand was just using the technology. They weren't claiming or demonstrating by their words/actions to have invented the process.
The way I see it, LScan is caput because they saw the writing on the wall and perhaps didn't have the deep pockets that it appears ScanBuy has. I do believe though that ScanBuy stands to lose as much and they're fighting for their lives. Hence the bogus counter-suit and late-to-the-game patent applications.
ifitlooks: You win the "Golden Shovel" award tonight! That was some serious digging to find that under the "sheets". lol!
Things are definitely moving in high gear.
SWAGTA: Along w/ Bolinger Bands, another good sign courtesy of kgoodrich who has provided us w/ some valuable lessons. (THANX, KGOODRICH!)
I've been looking at a few of his past posts and although I'm still a bit fuzzy on the MagicBox, I am starting to see the Aroon pattern. And it's pretty neat because I never even heard of the Aroon indicator before his posts here a few months back.
Anyway, it's real nice too (his old posts) because the pics update themselves (live pics) and you can see for yourself what I'm talking about.
Check out the Aroon lines at the beginning of April for NEOM. Looking at this and some other company examples he's used, often, when the red is high and the green is low and they start to move towards each other...good signal. If they continue course and do a flip-flop then w/ the green riding high and the red in the dirt, we'll know it, fer shur.
That is a killer indicator, the Aroon lines.
IMO, if tomorrow we see that green start to shoot up w/ a sharp angle and the red pull down..."Good night, Irene". I think we're off to the races in short order. Bye-Bye sub .50's and hello previous highs (or more). Along w/ the Bollinger band theory...whoa. The price touched that lower line twice now this month but didn't cross it. Add to that, the northern movement of the Williams line back towards the "hot zone" and I think we have a triple play here.

kgoodrich: Am I startin' ta learn a liddle sumpin'? Are my eyes deceiving me?
LScan: Does anybody know exactly what happened w/ LScan? They're out of business, right? I can't find anything newer than a year old on them. TIA, lns
Weclome, GreenWavx! EOM
clawmann: IMO, Infogin is not a problem. EOM
KGR: IMO, on the surface looking at it, this new company that AOL teamed w/ for their "Mobile AOL Search Services" is not an issue for NeoMedia.
They state right here what they enable AOL to provide: "InfoGin's proprietary mobile transcoding and content analysis technology automatically adapts Web pages that were designed for the desktop so that they can easily be viewed on today's browser-enabled mobile phones."
Basically, IMO, they're just providing "conversion technology" for "desktop protocol" to WAP in a simple fashion.
Also, the "Mobile AOL Search Services" doesn't look like it's a problem for NeoMedia either.
http://mobile.aolsearch.com/lnk000/=http://mobile.aolsearch.com/loc/local/aol/AolSearch.asp
How do you perceive that "AOL has avoided Neomedia by using this private company Infogin"?
stocktrader1: IMO, eventually up. EOM
stocktrader: I'd be surprised and so did I. EOM
