Snackman - - forgive me if I missed this, but how do we know there actually will be a marketing campaign, and that it will be in June? Is there a link to this info? Thanks.
PICKLE - I see nobody here can answer your question.
Again, some Einstein gave it away. Why not at market value? Hasn't it been quite a while since the price was near .88?
I would think the insiders buying on a PP would know we are about to launch. How much confidence does management and the PP buyers demonstrate to us at this price?
SOTER - that would include SKS & Co.
YEAH SNACK, and that translates to $.88
Entire PR... sorry if already posted -->

Turissini, president and CEO of ORC.

-- A digital identity for identification and authentication,
-- Public-private key encryption for confidentiality, and

Microsoft offers test version of new media player
Wednesday June 2, 3:40 pm ET
SEATTLE, June 2 (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp. (NasdaqNM:MSFT - News) released on Wednesday a preliminary version of its newest software package for playing video and audio on personal computers that will also allow online music stores to sell songs over the Web.
ADVERTISEMENT
The new version, called Windows Media Player 10, is being released as a technical beta program aimed at enthusiasts and early adopters for testing and feedback.
Microsoft's new media player, which competes against RealNetworks Inc.'s (NasdaqNM:RNWK - News) RealPlayer and Apple Computer Inc.'s (NasdaqNM:AAPL - News) QuickTime player, is also designed to work with a new line of portable media devices using Microsoft's Portable Media Center software.
The most notable new feature, however, is the new player's ability to offer music and video from different vendors directly through the player, Microsoft's answer to Apple's hit music store iTunes.
"We are testing a new concept currently called the 'Digital Media Mall' that offers a selection of online music stores and video services that work seamlessly in the player," Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said in a statement.
Microsoft said the new player will also work with subscription style music services, where users can stream and listen to songs for a subscription fee rather than paying for each download.
Microsoft also said that the new media player will have a "simple, clean" interface and that the full version will be released later this year.
nicknamen - good move yesterday. I bought some also, just not nearly as much as you. :) My sympathies to "Back Again".
Have a good day, Wavoids.
yaya, yes. (OT) look at TASR down $30!
Let's not worry. $1.29 tomorrow means we're up for the week!
Well, why am I not surprised? Still no follow-through. Still no legs under this horse. Same ol'. For now anyway.
Hi SAM - highest vol since INTC news......
Aug-07-03.....20,545,900
Aug-06-03.....33,447,400
Aug-05-03.....40,238,200

Aug-01-03.....63,679,500
Wow, I stand corrected. This rally seems to break the old pattern of head fakes. Love it!
all - It's another 'head fake' until proven otherwise! (IMO) Still, I'm optimistic. It's hard to be excited about this kind of price gain anymore.
yarxxx - there is no excuse, but take any comfort you'd like.
24601 - there are plenty of spelling errors and bad grammar on this board if you haven't noticed... knock yourself out and let us all know when you see one.
falling from grace . . . . .
faster than ever
from $5.24 to under $1.10:
...this time took 165 trading days
......Aug-05-03 high: 5.24
......Mar-31-04 low: 1.03
...previously: it took 397 trading days
......Jun-29-01 high: 5.37

Boom: Same ol' same ol'. No surprises. /e
Indeed, we need a follow-through.
It was only 3/9/04 when we last closed at $1.49.
It was only 3/10/04 when we last hit $1.62.
It was only 2/1/04 when we had higher volume.
Sorry to spoil the party, but this is just lending some perspective.
promises, promises
what's the opposite of ubiquity?
On track, stay the course, a thousand points of light. Sounds like a politician. What a bunch of crap.
AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC have passed since Intel news and no revs to speak of?
Wait 'til next year?
Sounds like the Chicago Cubs.
NEWS: Same Old Shat.

MIG - funny! That's a classic! /eom
Larry D - true! Don't we all wish we had a crystal ball.
I'm a long and do not 'trade' this stock. I lurk here for cheap entertainment purposes. Just wanted to pass along some kudos. In any event, it looks like a good day for Wave, finally.
Mighunter - your urging paid off! /e
Larry Dudash - I have new respect for your TA. I am replying to your TA update as of yesterday's close.
Thanks for your contributions!
Lowest volume week since the INTC news and we're down only $.20 since the lawsuits started piling on. To all the sleazy lawyers and manipulators out there - - nice try! Nobody's selling!

just wait until Wave gets to report $1.4M !!
Virtual Delivery Seen as Death to Discs

Virtual Delivery Seen as Death to Discs
Tue Sep 2,10:05 PM ET
By Jesse Hiestand
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Hollywood will win the war against illegal downloading but the battlefield will be littered with casualties, including the DVD and CD formats as physical means of distributing video and audio, according to a Forrester Research study released Tuesday.
The study predicts that in five years, CDs and DVDs will start to go the way of the vinyl LP as 33% of music sales and 19% of home video revenue shifts to streaming and downloading.
Part of that stems from the continued proliferation of illegal file trading, which has caused an estimated $700 million of lost CD sales since 1999. But it will be due more so to efforts by the studios, cable companies and telcos to finally deliver legitimate alternatives like video-on-demand, Forrester researcher Josh Bernoff said.
"The idea that anyone who has video-on-demand access to any movie they are interested in would get up and go to Blockbuster just doesn't make any sense," Bernoff said. "(The decline) begins with rentals, but eventually I think sales of these pieces of plastic are going to start going away because people will have access to whatever they want right there at their television set."
While consumers with VOD capabilities should grow within five years from 10 million to 35 million, or about a third of all U.S. television households, the association that represents disc makers does not believe that output will slow.
In fact, the Princeton, N.J.-based International Recording Media Assn. estimates that the number of DVDs replicated each year in North America will increase from a current 1.4 billion to 2.6 billion by 2008.
CD replications, though, are forecast by IRMA to fall by 15%-18% in the next five years, about half the rate of decline estimated by Forrester.
"The consensus in the manufacturing business is that there will be a decline, but we don't see as drastic a decline," IRMA president Charles Van Horn said. "We see growth (in video and DVD), and I don't think it will be because there are more pipelines to feed. It will be consumers buying discs."
Analysts also caution that the shift from hard copy to virtual distribution could be more gradual.
"People like walking into the store and seeing the product. It's part of the entertainment," Barrington Research Associates analyst James Goss said. "The studios would be just as happy to sell something in a streamed form or a hard disc form. But once you download it to your computer, you're probably going to burn it onto a CD or DVD, so you'd end up with the same optical storage issues."
The Forrester report lists a number of winners and losers from the expected changes.
Among the beneficiaries are Internet portals (news - web sites) that enable on-demand media services, broadband suppliers such as cable and telcos and the creative community, which would profit from the removal of manufacturing and distribution costs and constraints. AOL Time Warner's decision to sell off its disc manufacturing plants was said to be proof of this trend.
Media conglomerates could be among the losers if they do not have control of emerging means of distribution like VOD, Forrester said. Such retailers as Tower Records and Blockbuster will certainly feel the pain as sales and rentals shrink, though they may be able to sustain business by associating themselves with newer on-demand services. Major retailers including Wal-Mart and Best Buy are expected to survive by shifting CD and DVD floor space to sales of media devices.
The shift could also present several opportunities for companies if they move quickly.
Television companies have about three more years to release shows on DVD. By 2006, it is estimated that negotiations will start to focus on making content available on cable and Internet "basic VOD" tiers.
Movies studios are also urged to press the development of Internet-based alternatives to cable VOD for movies-on-demand.
"On-demand media services have the potential to turn pirate losses into gains even as they break the disc-based shackles that now hold back entertainment," the report concludes.
