success622: Forget the thorazine, a few "B's" are much better! ;)
LOL!!!! beacon27! LOL!!!! EOM
Drmyke3: You're welcome. It's simple, really, because NeoMedia makes it that way. NextCode looks like they're doing the same exact thing Mobiqa's doing...
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=6410395
beacon27, please. Here, read this in conjunction w/ everything else others have posted and think hard.
http://www.neom.com/press_releases/2004/20041206.jsp
AirPocketDrop: You are so transparent as to your bashing ways.
If you read about how NeoMedia intends to allow it's PC technology be used, they CLEARLY state that they will allow others to USE IT AS THEIR OWN.
That's all NextCode is doing.
Read the NR and you would know. Oh, but you already do. You're just, IMO, twisting things around for you own twisted reasons.
http://www.neom.com/press_releases/2004/20041206.jsp
But, go ahead, waste your time. I'm not anymore. Just had to get this off my chest. Ahhhh, I feel much better now.
Thanx for the laughs! KEEP 'EM UP!!!
You hit it cabbie70: Investing = Informed Gambling. EOM
jonesieatl: Remember what happened last time it broke south the .46? She shot back up to .53 in a fraction of the amount of time it took to go from .53 to .46 (actually .449 at open the next day).
All day to go from .53 to .46 and less than an hour to go from .449 to .53.
I say, let it break. IMO, the MACD's gotta cross below the zero (0) line before we can shoot higher, and we're almost there. :)
It'll be a good buying opportunity (if one can get in), IMO, for those that still have some "dry powder" if it does break the trend line down to .46.
Awesome find, jayoperator. Welcome! EOM
cloud8: So far, so good! :) EOM
pennyheaven: A bit of recent historical facts suggests that, yes, we just may get some news we've been waiting for before June 30th. Remember, the next Virgin court date is set for 6/21/05. Let's say it goes well and no more future court dates are set becuase the agreement is satisfactory to both parties. Realistically, it would then take at least a few days for everything to be finalized and the legal dealings cleared up and swept away.
Later that week, on Friday, if recent past history continues to play out, will be the next date that we should see an S4 filing by CF selling some shares. If that occurs, then as well, if recent past history continues to play out, we should see news regarding PC released early the next week. It would then seem plausible that any PC news we would see could very well could contain information regarding some detail of the Virgin settlement.
I, for one, do not believe the Virgin outcome is already fully "baked" into the current stock price. Why? Simple...because nobody knows what that outcome will be. Sure, there may be some level of certainty of a positive outcome "baked" into the current stock price, but how can anybody say for certainty to what degree the positive outcome will be.
Will it just be a simpe "yes", we agree that we were wrong and NeoMedia owns the patents? That's it. No money changing hands, no real deal, no licence agreement, no partnership formed, nothing. I highly doubt that. Why? If that were the case, it shouldn't take two extra whole months to hammer out an "agreement" like that.
Or, will it be a King Daddy, just what we've been looking for and more, higher degree of positive outcome that includes monetary payments, licence agreement, partnership or more?
Time will tell. Be patient. Never look for a stock to do what you want it to do on your own timetable. Events almost always take longer than people would first expect. Again, be patient.
Do I think we will see $1 or even .75 by June 30th? Yes. But, don't you dare hold me to it! ;)
Again, recent CF sales and PC NR's...every 5 weeks for the past three months, like clockwork:
3/11: CF sells - 3/15: PC news
4/15: CF sells - 4/18: PC news
5/20: CF sells - 5/24: PC news
6/24: CF sells??? - 6/27>6/30: PC news???
...my guess is "yes" and "yes" ;)
Again, not a prediction, just an observation.
For discussion purposes only.

OT: GOOG: HOLY COW! I just looked at their 3-month chart. UNREAL! Every technical has gone through the roof and the Stochastics and Williams are stuck to the ceiling! I don't know about others here, but me personally, I've never seen a chart look that strong before. But, I'm relatively new and unexperienced in the TA department.
To have NEOM look like that someday...ahhhh. Would be nice! :)
menamiketrx: I like it, similar to the "Google" toolbar in Mozilla/Firefox. Yeah, there we "Go". :)
kihei: YOU may not see tens of thousands of code words being used in the WordRegistry, but SAIC certainly does. If they didn't they wouldn't touch it or want to be associated w/ it in any way, shape or form. They're in business to help society and to make money...the WordRegistry is just another way for them to affect the bottom line on both those efforts.
Folks, it's not what we think that matters, it's what the industry players think. And who's doing that thinking and collaborating w/ NeoMedia??? SAIC, INTL, MSFT, Nokia, Virgin, P&G, FCB, Symbol, and others. BigBoyz w/ DEEEEEEEPPPPP pockets who don't like to waste time on nonsense. These aren't just willy-nilly LOI's NeoMedia has w/ these folks. They're actual agreements. BIG difference.
That's something to always keep in mind.
snowblow5: You're right, "reinvention of the wheel", so to speak, is the essence of progress and that's exactly what NEOM's done in the case of advertising. This was unheard of 15 years ago.
Regarding buying the patents, the only way MSFT would be able to buy the patents that NeoMedia owns would be to buyout NeoMedia themselves because they sure as heck won't sell them to anybody because they are the key to their whole future regarding linking the physical world to the internet. But, NeoMedia will gladly LICENSE them the use of their patented technology, and it appears that's exactly what they intend on doing.
snowblow5: IMO, it's much easier and effective to the bottom line to "pay-the-piper" to get effective results than to try to "re-invent" the wheel.
I'd be surprised w/ a buyout. I just don't think that's in NeoMedia's BOD's plan and IMO, they'll do just about anything to NOT allow that to happen.
They've worked on this too long and IMO, would want to stear the ship "around the world" once it sets sail than to hand the wheel over to another Skipper.
Re: WordRegistry...why can't it apply to the internet for computer use, not only mobile use? It most certainly can and is right now through the NeoMedia website demonstration which now has actual live links on it.
If one can type in keywords in the "GoWindow" on the NeoMedia website, why wouldn't that be applied directly to it's own, unique website that would then, in a sense, be another portal for folks to go, to directy link them to where the owner of the word, tradmarked or not, wants them to go.
This would then be direct competition for ad dollars on the internet w/ Google and Yahoo!, et al, making this as well, a direct comparison to Google and Yahoo!.
The "localized" searching for info could also be possible, similar to the GPS capability of mobile search, by simply supplying a zipcode or other geographical information that the servers would then extract the pertinent, area specific information relative to the keyword that would be used for the navigation.
With thinking about it more, in my mind this just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
Again, w/ SAIC behind it, it would be well recognized and be given instant credible validity to it's benefit.
Opinions?
SWAGBADTA: IMO, the MACD (on the chart I often look at which I posted a link to yesterday), based on past history w/ this stock and many others over the past few years...has to ebb/flow above/below the zero (0) line. With those historical observations, NEOM shouldn't make it's next significant pop, IMO, until it first crosses back below the zero (0) line...which, BTW, it's looks like it could do in the next few days. May hold below that for a bit before moving back over it (the way it did in March). When that happens, I almost always see at least a 10-20% jump in price in short order (may or may not stick, depending on the stock) and depending on the pressure behind it, 50-100%+ jumps are very possible.
Not a prediction. Just an observastion. For discussion purposes only.
Looks like the "W" on the chart got trashed as well as following the Candle Chart trend of early April. Let's see if this SWAGBADTA can hold any water.

Exactly, kokonutguy, that's what I'm saying. We don't know and I'm curious to see when it's unveiled.
Exactly my point as well...there's nothing to compare yet EVERYTHING to compare, the way I see it. Simply because it's an extension to another medium and there are the patents. That's like saying there's nothing to compare w/ SAIC and what they've done w/ Network Solutions and the domain registry idea and what they're about to do w/ NeoMedia and the WordRegistry.
What I'm saying about the "gravitas" of having SAIC behind it is that I think the world will be much less skeptical right off-the-bat to the idea, therefore making "lift-off", IMO, a much bigger bang than if they (NeoMedia) were doing it alone.
As we are well aware of, as w/ anything in it's infancy, there's always that skeptical hump that has to be overcome before widespread use comes to fruition. SAIC flattens that hump considerably.
Ubiquity is the key but it can only be ubiquitous if it's available in the same way across many "platforms", everywhere and anywhere, i.e., "Pizza" should point the consumer to the same info everywhere and anywhere in relevance to the "position" of the consumer. It wouldn't be there case if there would be more than one owner of the keyword "Pizza" across different mobile "keyword search" platforms.
That's why the patents, at least in the large, relevant countries and areas (NorthAmerica/Europe/SA, etc...) are so important because this is the real leverage that gives validity and importance of the WordRegistry.
If you want to do it mobile, you gotta do it w/ PC technology that's tied directly the the WordRegistry.
Gotta Love It!
success622: I was thinking the same thing in regard to the limited scope of existing keywords being tied to only the particular service that the keyword is registered to. There's no "standard" registry service, per say.
What I see as the kicker in the whole WordRegistry is who is behind it...SAIC. If it were only NeoMedia, I honestly don't think it would have the punch, even thought they do hold the patents.
But since the world and the US gov't know very well of SAIC, their past accomplishments and current endevours, it would seem to me that the SAIC "sponsored" WordRegistry will instantly become the norm and be given instant "gravitas" as to the validity and importance of it's value.
We know that P&G will most likely have a very large # of words registered, but I'm curious to see how and if Virgin plans on integrating the WordRegisty in w/ their anticipated Time's Square launch of their "new" Megastore. Might that be part of their "new way" introducing products to customers before the sale?? (or however they put it).
Tell me about it woogerbear. They finally made a profit for the first time ever...a measly 100K on 23+million in revenue.
Geez...can't wait till the first profitable quarterly report NEOM posts! I'm guessing this year if all goes as expected and planned.
SWAGBADTA: Postulating w/ you, cloud8, I notice on the three month candle chart that the few days following the early April abrupt sell off to .16 look VEEERRRRRRYYYYYY similar to these past few days following the recent abrupt sell off to .449...
Good sign? You may be right, cloud8.
Not a predication. For discussion purposes only.

Picksit: What led you to believe this? Curious. EOM
woogerbear: Of course he did. :) EOM
Yes, indeed, JP. It's not a battle of personalities but rather of principalities.
Statenlsd: Huh? Fact or hope? eom
cjzak: From my understanding, there's no direct link between the different generations of mobile technology and NeoMedia. The only link is that as the mobile network gets more efficient and its ability to transfer large amounts of data both upstream and down only bodes well for those that would be trying to direct to large content internet sites.
That's what NeoMedia's all about...linking things to the internet and the easier it is to do, the more likely folks will use it and want to incorporate it into their own campaings or uses. Just look at broadband vs. dial-up. If we didn't have broadband, a lot of the high content sites you see wouldn't exist because very few would want to take the time to wait for them to download.
Maybe because it's Memorial Day weekend but I just can't seem to stop thinking of the enourmous benefits NeoMedia's patents can have for our military...and others around the world for that matter.
Happy Memorial Day, my fellow Americans. And for others around the world, Good Day to you too! lns
APD_Y: Thanx for answering my question of your NEOM position. You're clearly SHORT.
Right on NeomRocket. Big fun day ahead. EOM
APD_Y: You honestly think this is news? EOM
AirPocketDrop__YES: So, what are you suggesting? That we read the SEC filings? We did. That we scrutinize NeoMedia's past operations/present actions/future potential? We've done and continue to do. That we would be better served by selling some if not all of our shares of NEOM because this is it, we're at the top and "Who are we kidding? Ourselves?".
I'll say it again...It's a complete insult that you assume we are "blindly ingnoring" anything having to do w/ NeoMedia and what they are trying to do their core technology patent portfolio.
How can you honestly state something like you have if you've taken any bit of significant time to overlook some of the insightful posts here in the past or let alone, the "Info Board" link above.
You can't. Simple as that.
Out of curiosity...regarding NEOM stock...are you LONG, SHORT or NO POSITION? TIA, lns
AirPocketDrop__YES: Your last two questions there...go back in time (7-10 years) and ask those same questions in regards to internet advertising and e-commerce. What are your answers?
Now, ask that those same questions now in regards to internet advertising and e-commerce? What are your answers?
Apply that thought process and progression to mobile marketing and m-commerce.
Get the picture?
The beauty in this is that m-commerce is just an extension of e-commerce. The groundwork and rules of the game have already been layed out and the players already know the moves. That's a HUGE learning curve that has already conquered and by that they can springboard directly to m-commerce.
Oh, but I don't need to tell you that, you already know it.
What really get me too about these new basher additions is their insults to our intelligence. How stupid and blind do they think we are? The S3 not discussed? What?...days later?
Yeah, we totally missed it. Thanx guys for you help!
Obviously too much BBQ sauce on their chicken yesterday. Lighten up on the condiments, guys, they'll fry your brain!
Thanx, lorex. And a BIG Thanx to all those that manage this board and to JP for stearing the way. You've created a very unique board and one that is a pleasure to visit, learn and share w/ all here on something that, if we're correct in our analysis and fortunate enough to have a stable world for the next 5-10 years, will be life changing and for all and will open each of us to many new opportunities in the future.
It's could be a heavy responsability we will bear in managing and sharing the good fortune we've been given.
THAT's when we REALLY need to be on our guard.
May we all choose wisely in the choices we make in life.

SWAGTA: If it's going continue to try to make that "W" on the chart today (5/3 to current), it's gotta hit at least .60 today. Would be nice!
hmmmm, is that "W" that the chart looks like it's trying to make sending us a sign that NeoMedia 'W'on the Virgin case, that this company owns a 'W'inning portfolio of patents and by association we're all going come out of this 'W'onderfully because we're in early on a 'W'inner of a stock?
C'mon "W"!

kihei: You're welcome. I have the same questions regarding NeoMedia and RFID in Europe.
Anybody else have any insight here?
TIA,
lns
kihei: Good question. I would've assumed that (not knowing how the whole patent process works) they just took the same exact patent "guts" and repackaged them for submission to the EPO and other PO's worldwide. Apparently that's not the case though. I also scanned and couldn't find anything on the EPO patents. But, for reference, here's the U.S. patent that covers RFID.
Method and Systems for Accessing Electronic Resources via Machine-Readable Data on Intelligent Documents:
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=/neta...
Now, that's not to say that NeoMedia doesn't have the RFID patent "pending" in the hands of the EPO. And, it's only my opinion that RFID isn't covered in the current awarded European patent portfolio.
Anybody else have another take?
