What can I say…… :)
You surely have missed your true calling!!
Another Grammy winning tune.
BTW: Re: your TM post.
Looked like anti-counterfeiting was still in their minds as viable, which made me wonder(??) did the Q ever mention the VTech timetable coming to an end with or without extension?
Best regards,

I'm with you my friend.
I'll just go sit back down…….(heavy sigh)
I'm happy to hear anything, so don't get me wrong.
So unless something else @ SID makes a splash for us this week, this was it……. (the PR today).
Is that what ya'lls gist is too?
So……. except for the TM announcement (per se), the "assessment quantities have already shipped" part is still old hat.
Or did I miss something??
Denise: I'm counting heavy on your window of opportunity. I think mine is awash.

Thanks for your reply Bill.
It's sad……. and I'll just leave it at that.

Vulgarity in the rule book.
The PG13 rule is loosely used as a guideline to what is/isn't acceptable when determining whether a comment is vulgar. The theory is that if society has deemed it appropriate for a 13 year old to hear, it is unlikely that it will be offensive to the majority of Users.
Otherwise, profanity (as explained above) is unacceptable on the stock boards, even when punctuation characters are used to "fill in the blanks" or letters are changed (f**k, azzh*le, etc.). Note that there are also "polite versions" for many acronyms and these are assumed to be the case when in doubt (i.e. "wtf?" = "what the freak?" in the polite version).
I simply asked for civility as there is a Lady present and someone has stopped using the polite versions. Ie: POS or BS.
Not holding my Breath……..
But, Yes Mam absolutely!!!!
Will save it for Bill's party in the islands ;)
However…..if it's not me…..I'm counting heavy on you!!

Well some of all that is certainly questionable my friend.
I agree about it being a viable (Now and) future product.
In the you should know….. "I know what I own" realm:
Questionable SP:
graphEne noun
BrE /'græfi?n/ ; NAmE /'græfi?n/
a very strong, light form of carbon (1)
Graphene is the thinnest, strongest material known to science.
Check pronunciation: graphene
Blue light Graphene only creatable, Q-Dot non-creatable??
Hmmmm?
Good luck on the short and welcome to the board and BTW:Happy Alias Birthday…..a whole 40minutes old!!

"it's a start-up's road map that's important."
So as I got up this morning, I thought (as I do every day)…..IS THIS THE DAY??
Wishful thinking once again as it seems. I do this everyday, as I'm sure all of you do as well.
I keep telling my self it's a "Disruptive Technology"…….. "Disruptive Technology" and I have to bare with it (even though it's like a kid waiting for Christmas morning……it comes as slow as a drop of cold molasses dripping from a jar on a sub freezing country morning).
So while surfing this morning I read this article:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/101584711?__source=yahoo%7Cfinance%7Crelated%7Cstory%7Cstory&par=yahoo&doc=102521238
The below excerpt gave me some pause to think:
"Patents, meanwhile, only protect physical inventions - not ideas – and can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
"It can be difficult to get a patent for something which is simply a concept, unless there's a technological application of it," Mark Owen, a partner in law firm Taylor Wessing's trademarks, copyright and media team, told CNBC.
As such, Owen urged new businesses to keep things under wraps for as long as possible. But after launch date, it becomes a lot harder.
"At that point, you need to run as fast as you can. The first-mover advantage really is true and it leads you to have a brand position that's defensible," he said.
'Can't steal your road map'
Given the high-profile attention given to Apple vs Samsung's legal battle, it is perhaps surprising that companies can't do more to protect their ideas.
But veteran investor Stavropoulos, who specializes in start-ups, was unfazed.
"If you've been around as long as I have, you see the same ideas surfacing over and over again every five years or so," he said. "If we were to reject founders coming to us with ideas we've seen before, we'd be missing huge opportunities."
Perhaps this goes some way to explaining why both Baptiste and Marsh are so confident that transparency trumps secrecy.
"They can steal your ideas but they can't steal your road map – the values and reasons behind your ideas," Baptiste insisted. "And it's a start-up's road map that's important."
After reading the article and knowing QTMM is part of a "Disruptive Technology" for sure, I see our (hopefully to be fully patented) FLOW process is actually a Disruptive Technology inside of a Disruptive Technology and the need for a solid "road map" is a key.
IE: other folks may make QD's, but they can't make them as efficiently as ours with our reactor process.
Sorry for the rambling……, but hopefully that may be the reason that we don't have any announcements of yet.
If that is indeed the reason…..then I am (a little) more patient in waiting.
But damn I loved it when christmas morning came;)

Who'd a thunk????
Down to the last 2…….damn!
I think I said it before……I'd have certainly been much happier for an earlier $1.00 SP, but……..
So E: How's this……….
If by some Blessing…….
If it does make us all happy before 6/15……….
Save it for me……. and maybe you can still come to Hawaii to deliver it, where you, Denise and I will all crack that smokey libation in merriment, jocularity and some smooth easy breezes.
South Carolina islands (as beautiful as they are) just don't quite have that same island charm??
Then we can move on to Bill's luau! :)
With only the best regards

Quantum Dot Forum
On the "Who will you meet page"
http://www.photonicconference.com/Phosphors/media/Examples/QD-Delegate-list.jpg
Strange……on the "Wonder why" front??
I wonder why no mention of…….anyone from……our loving POS(Positive Opportunity Stock) ???
I thought I read earlier, on the board, that "word was" that someone would be there.
Seems like a potentially BIG missed opportunity by not having a "Delegate" mentioned, as the Delegate list looks like a "Who's Who" of Quantum Dots.
Hopefully we'll find out that there is a presence (with some tidbit info bone from someone….hint hint!….ART)

My Bad j45…………………………………
Your semantics certainly overwhelmed me!!
"QMC and EVERY other company at CES got the same interview!"
I think that "EVERY" word must have thrown us all.
Wow……. being in the broadcast industry; ["EVERY" other company at CES] doing interviews would mean that they would still be there doing interviews to get everyone in.
Once again…..my bad!! :p
Still longing for the future!
Old Joe
Don't feel Bad Woofer………….
I thought I had read all the info prior (to CES) and after.
I didn't know we had a booth either (????).
I wonder why we did not see any pics from that??
All I heard was, "Steve and Company we there" (doing business).
How bizarre???

Dunno!!
Only semi/partially/almost answering a previous post about TBD space………Sir.
If that is what "they" used to (reasonably) approve the referenced info, funding, PR……(????)…….
I dunno!
Only TSU knows, but that's what we have to go by at this point………unless someone nearby can get an update (?)………………. Bueler (?).
Living in an "University" town……..I know and see things frequently change,
BUT……..from what I have witnessed…….."they/TSU" (a BIG money state university), for the most part, would have to have an approved "forward plan" that they must work from (and it doesn't usually sway a whole lot, if times are good and the State Govt smiles down from upon and sees potential $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)……….
Just saying.

STAR Park Expansion ProjectsSTAR Park Expansion
The Science,Technology, and Advanced Research (STAR)Park received authorization for expansion projects from the Board of Regents on August 29, 2014. These projects include the purchase of a 20 acre track adjacent to the 38 acre site currently occupied by STAR One and a two phase building expansion. In Phase I the remainder of STAR One will be built out to house three new Life Science labs, three new Chemistry/Materials Science labs, and the new Polymer and Nanomaterials lab. Phase II will be a building addition of approximately 16,000 square feet. Currently in the design stage is a mulit-functional meeting space, additional labs, and office spaces. Phase I is expected to be completed by Summer 2015 and Phase II should be ready for occupancy in 2016.
Companies currently working out of STAR One include Micropower-Global, National Nanomaterials, Quantum Materials, PetaOmics, and SMRC. A number of Texas State graduates and interns are employed by these companies.
STAR One was originally envisioned to continue to grow as more tenants became interested with partnering with the university, and the park continues to progress with collaborative research.
This is from Star Park web site.
Sound like we are in "Phase One" as summer of 2015 is referenced.
