mschere:"Is this the type of a Joint Announcement that would please you? Do you think the Q earned back the cost of its catering expense?"
IMO IDCC way is the better way. Give me the "nut's & bolt's" keep all the fluff for the "prety boy's"
OT:habu were you at Edward's, if so what years. I was there in the early 60's. The SR71 aka Black Bird was still known as the YF12A then. Beautiful Air Craft but I like the XB70 more. I was at Edward's when the second one (XB70) crashed. Got caught on the flight line and had to go out on the clean up. Not much was left of it or the F104 that hit it.
witchhollow:" I would guess that Harkness was partially responsible for that low volume run up in the shares recently."
That tell's me that all the BS yesterday about "not" being a reconize name, is just that, BS. I for one didn't know the name, but people with the big $$$ do.imo and thats what counts.
JimLur: Are you thinking of the movie The Hustler with Paul Newman and Jackie Cleason.
They say the movie was based in part on New York Fat's. I shot againts him a few times in Parker's Pool Hall in Houston. I didn't but saw a lot of shooters tear him up. One they called Dusty Red, one heck of a shot took him for over 17G's. Big money in the 60's.
That 17G's has nothing to do with phones or IDCC.lol
OT:bulldzr: Think I heard somewhere old Jim is a 9 Ball shooter. Wonder if he ever shot at Henry's Hideout in Magnolia,TX.
If he likes pool & golf, might try him out, on in a little golf played on a Snooker Table.
Desert dweller:"NEC has no reason to make any substantial advance payment because the only sales they will receive discounts on is for infrastructure sales in Japan."
I got that part, was just wondering about there other "rate's" if we had any info on those.
Desert dweller:"advance payment on is for infrastructure IN JAPAN ONLY."
Does this mean they will be paying a higher %rate outside Japan on everything.
Thanks
Nasdaq & everyone's "favorite" QCOM down today. IDCC up on News. Enough said.
OT:TFWG: Well get to it, all I've seen is BS of no value.
TFWG: Join Zit on the way out the door.
zitboy: Get a life, your beep,beep is getting old.
mschere:".How many investors on this board are familiar with Mitac, Asustek,Inventec, Dbtel,BenQ, Compal or even High Tech..???"
Thaks too you I am. I am tired of hearing only about QCOM, you make reading I Hub fun. Keep up the good work.
Data_Rox:"HP does not sell any HTC product that intersects our IPR."
Yet? almost as big a word as IF.
loophole73: "IDCC forced them into this position with a very overreaching interpretation of the Samsung Arbitration decision."
How did IDCC force them into anything. NOK & Sam met before anyone signal they were going for "arbitration" Did you say this to the Judges. NOK may be playing by the rules now?? but what about before. Let's say Sam was ready to sign and NOK say's look under the table, might be a little some thing for you if you don't sign. Doesn't have to "cash" could be something Sam needed more than cash.
Was not Sam in talks with IDCC, then they visit NOK and they start playing hard ball. That tells me something happen in there metting. Just doesn't smell right.
zitboy: Give the man a break. Nothing is said & done till the ink dries. Case in point did the "chartist" factor in the "getting" of Sadamn of Rat Hole fame.
I could give a flying "-" what the street thinks or does. I did not buy into IDCC because of someone on "the street" in fact, in early 99 if the street had a hugh buy on IDCC then I would have pass on by. I like Chartex I am a Texan and will take a man at his word but I want bet everything on it. I did my on DD, look hard at what IDCC had & has now and made my bet. I want lose a darn thing if we don't have a sign on the dot by years end because I will not sell. If you play the market by betting on someone else, you will lose for sure. Now that is not to say, I want do a little azz chewing if we don't but that is just "Human Nature."
bulldzr: We might have to re annex that part of the state. Get Ricky boy to "redistrict" it near Austin. It's a shame to waste all of that talent!!!!
bulldzr: What part of Texas is "Mschere" from. eom

Merry Chistmas To All from me.
JeffreyHF: are you the same JeffreyHF that post on AOL's QCOM & IDCC board's. If so you sure have changed your tune but then again it's always been a little off key.
Ok, folks is getting cold again, I just check on the Caterpillars out in the back yard. They are still in there swim suits in fact some are going top-less.. Looks like Happy Day's ahead for IDCC & all longs. Bad news for the shorts and the Chartist may get there shorts in a twist at what lay's ahead for little o IDCC.
PS
The top-less ones are Male. fooled some of you.
bulldz: That's called Eat'en High On The Hog.eom
Alley: "MY QUESTION RE: NEW LICENSEE
Would it be fair to say that we will see a new licensee
by year end?"
Answer:
"Yes.
The company is well aware of Bill Merit's announcement on the
recent conference call regarding the signing of a new licensee
in that time frame. She explained that the Company is very
cognizant of investors expectations regarding this matter."
Thanks Alley, I am pulling into the Bank parking lot. Hope to go inside soon!!!!!!!!!!
" MY QUESTION:RE:INSIDER SELLING
Should we expect to see any year end insider selling
from Howard and folks.
Answer:
To the best of her knowledge Howard took care of that in
September.
She added nothing has crossed her desk to date regarding any
insider selling."
Heck I might take out a loan and buy some more on this bit of good news.
jimmylee:"My broker friend contacted Janet today, and as reported to me, she said"
"o She is still optimistic that we will get License(s) before the end of the year."
She said this to your "broker".
Then I am happy, I want take it to the bank, but will get in the car and head that way!!!!!!
Art: What GoJim is trying to tell you is, the caterpillars have there swim suits on== IDCC is on a roll.
JimLur: On the way.eom
jaykayjones:"For me, their error - and I think it's a serious issue about sales management competence - is that they did not keep in close contact with their major customer (NOK) and provide a heads-up. From what I can discern, the claim to NOK was sent as a letter (demand). JMO, JK"
Or it could be IDCC got wind of NOK's way of thinking and decided to "Demand" what is due. Know better way to get your money.imo
They had been fighting ERICY all those years so just set the record stright for everyone. This what you owe, now pay.
Loop: IMO you are smelling the same 3sons is smelling----"Why did the forbes article writer fail to follow up on this question for a meaningful answer from Nok, Siemens, Docomo or Ericcson. Whatever her failure for following up on the question, at least now names have been identifed as partly responsible for causing IDCC financial harm. What a good time to become litigious and make the article writer appear in a court of law along with the companies she has cited. Each to state what they meant by joining together to cap and indemnify others against signing valid licenses for the use of IDCC IPR. Something here smells. Finally, if they are the indemnifiers, how did this lady findout, who told her what, when and where."
jaykayjones: Don't know about GeJim's charts but I went outside this morning and it was cold for me. The caterpillars were walking around in there swim trunks. That tells me IDCC is fixing to take off. Now old Jim's charts my be the "new thing" but my grandmother always went with the caterpillars & other bugs.
"My Nov 28 chart shows IDCC bouncing-up off the 10 DMA, a positive sign, albeit on low volume (post Thanksgiving) and with an RSI of about 60 though in a downward trend. TIA, JK"
Yes, the volume was low on the amount of caterpillars out, but as this is the winter months that is to be expected. O yes there were more green than black caterpillars another good sign.
olddog: After reading his Bio I can see why Ed likes him."hedge fund manager who is considered to be very bearish." Sounds like the way Ed feals aboutIDCC. Never a good word!!!!!!!!!!
ferrari: Have no idea who Bill Fleckenstein not that it would matter one way or the other. He sounds like someone that is behind the curve and trying to slow someone else down.
"And even though Intel is going to raise its guidance tonight (as I said a week or so ago), it will be interesting to see the company's actual results in January,"
IMO, BS. Never known Intel not to hit there numbers or not to do what they say they are going to do. Who is the person?????? Does he work for QCOM.
arthritis60: "she could invalidate the whole settlement" I guess she could if she wanted too. If IDCC & ERICY say "we are happy" the way it stands, what does she do then. Is she going to poop all IDCC & ERICY to make NOK happy? IMO no, unless she own's a lot of NOK. But then that would be another court battle I am sure we would win.
Try this, hope the like works.

sophist: Great post, don't know if I belong in the list with such great minds as "Dagrinch, Loophole, L2V, and Nabokov" but thanks.
Loop__"Nok believes that Ericy, its biggest competitor, gained a commercial advantage in the IDCC settlement and they want to know why and how. The lawyer was hoping to convince the judge that a lot of unusual things happened that would justify the unsealing of the documents."
Is this not the way business is done. If I know something to get a better deal, why should I have to tell you what I know. What good are any "trade secret's" if you can force a company to turn everything over by a judges order? Why do anything on your on if you can get anything you want by court order? IMO this is what NOK is saying. What good is a sign contract, if you don't like something after a year or so, you can go to court and have it change. I know "my word is my bond" went out of style in the 60's, but I guess a name on a sign contract is no good anymore.
Loop:"Nok paid 31.5 mil in advance which is a good sum of money if you expect some company to fail. I believe that Nok thought it could win at the time of signing. However, I also believe that Nok expected IDCC to take its patent defense and prosecution through a trial to establish a reasonable royalty rate via a jury."
You don't believe NOK's on lawyers when they say, they did not expect ERICY would lose. Do you think they were speaking for themselves or for NOK. If that is the case would that not open up a suit by NOK on there on lawyers. Remember they said this in Open Court.
"Nok paid 31.5 mil in advance which is a good sum of money if you expect some company to fail."
Was this 31.5 mil for past 2g or was it for future TDD. Are you saying NOK owes IDCC nothing for 2g. It sure sounds like it.
