http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_of_execution
A stay of execution is a court order to temporarily suspend the execution of a court judgement. In cases where the death penalty has been imposed, a stay of execution may be sought to defer the execution of the convicted person. This may occur in light of new evidence that will exonerate the convicted or in attempts to have the sentence commuted to imprisonment.

Doma, would a Wave inventor relations person
use the phase "stay of execution"? Even in jest?

Wave After TPM Wave
A good read if you have not seen before.
http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=94655
MAY 11, 2006 | Imagine a world where users don't lose their passwords. A world where a lost laptop doesn't cause a security panic. A world where files can be safely stored so that no unauthorized users -- not even your own IT staff -- can peek at them.
Sound futuristic? Some enterprises are already starting to see such capabilities in their own networks, thanks to standards from Trusted Computing Group and software such as Wave Systems Inc.'s Embassy Trust Suite Version 5.1, which was introduced earlier this week.
ETS 5.1 is one of the first PC security packages to take full advantage of TCG's Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2, a set of specifications that enables vendors to add a "security chip" microprocessor to any PC.
TPM 1.1 chips made by vendors such as Atmel, Broadcom, and Infineon, have become standard issue on most PC hardware, but PCs that use TPM 1.2 only began shipping a few months ago.
"Using TPM and Embassy Trust Suite has made a huge difference in the way we administer security," says Chris Cahalin, network manager at Papa Gino's, which operates some 400 restaurants throughout New England. "It's not only made our client machines and files more secure, but it's given us a lot more control in IT."
ETS 5.1 is a set of security tools and applications that leverage TPM chips to encrypt files, folders, and passwords on a laptop or PC, leaving the key only in the hands of the end user and the IT department. The keys can be given out in the form of smart cards, or the user can be authenticated via biometrics or certificate.
The net result is that users of TPM 1.2 and ETS 1.1 can lock their hard drives, folders, and files via an encryption key that can only be decrypted by the authorized user. A thief would not be able to read any of the files on a stolen TPM laptop, and even users inside the company can be locked out of sensitive files on any end station.
"Our vice president of finance can set up a 'virtual vault' for payroll information that only he and a few other select people can see," notes Cahalin. "Even the people in IT are locked out, unless they have a very good reason to see it and they get authorization to use the key."
ETS 5.1 and TPM 1.2 also offer new password management functions and a sophisticated wizard to help new users set up their security options and settings. "We've seen some of our customers really cut down on the time they spend administering passwords," says Steven Sprague, president and CEO of Wave Systems.
Although most new PCs have TPM, many enterprises have yet to turn on their functionality, Sprague concedes. "I would encourage every enterprise to take a few of their new PCs into the lab, turn on this technology, and see what it can do," he says. "It'll change the way they look at end-user security."
Cahalin agrees. "We've completely rewritten our security policies to take advantage of TPM, and it's made a difference both in administration and in our overall level of security."
ETS 5.1 is available now at $99 for a standalone PC. Enterprises can expect a volume discount on the client, but larger environments will also require the ETS server, which starts at $3,000.

Who's Reading Your Cell's Text Messages? TPM in cell?
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1931906,00.asp
From the article....
The problems that Bubrouski experienced may be particular to Verizon's network. However, security is a larger problem in text messaging and e-mail, where trust is assumed between senders and receivers of message data, said Brian Berger, a vice president of marketing at Wave Systems Inc. and marketing chair at the TCG (Trusted Computer Group).
TCG is developing specifications for hardware building blocks, including the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) chip that can secure transactions from mobile devices.
Companies like Nokia, Motorola, ARM, Vodaphone, Wave Systems, as well as Intel and IBM are participating in the process, and specifications are expected this Summer, Berger said.

Scroll down to:
........ Besides the TPM chip, TPM software is required to manage the chip. That's where EMBASSY® Trust Suite Gateway Edition comes in. This extensive software suite includes three applications: EMBASSY® Security Center (setting up and managing preferences for TPM), Security Wizards (additional hardware security) and Private Information Manager (password protection and management).
Appears that Gateway is gearing up!

Broker-dealer must close out a short sale of a specific....
Section 11830 of the NASD's Uniform Practice Code requires that a short seller's broker-dealer must close out a short sale of a specific security 10 days after normal settlement date if the client does not deliver the shares. Securities subject to close-out requirement are those with an aggregate "clearing" short position of 10,000 shares or more that equals or exceeds one half of one percent of the total shares outstanding. The NASD will identify these securities daily based on data from the DTCC and compile a "restricted list." Any subsequent short-sale transaction in a security on the list that is not completed by delivery of shares within the prescribed time frames will be subject to mandatory close-out if a "fail-to-deliver" situation exists 10 days after normal settlement date.

cpa - "net worth"
Your sure do have lots of opinions, comments, etc. for a
NON-Shareholder. If you are trying to assess this stock for a possible investment, why not just sit back (in silence) and draw your conclusion from your research. If you decide to become a shareholder, feel free to post your thoughts (positive or otherwise). At this moment, your banter has zero weight because you have no position. ONLY shareholders get to "vote" on company matters. If you decide to continue posting realize this - your posts are like trees falling in the woods with nobody around - nobody hears them..... Take the plunge, buy one single share, and come back to discuss your stock and its future potential.

.97 after hours -EOM
Gugi28, VERY interesting conclusion from your link.
You need to go "next page" many times.
Conclusion:
Trusted Computing is a well-crafted approach technically, which presents a feasible solution to many well known security risks, but probably not all. It offers clearly more comfortable and more powerful solutions than older proposals.
The extra costs for enhancing hardware are minor, and, particularly for enterprises with more exposed IT systems, TPM could be a huge benefit. The possibilities for processors supporting trusted computing exist with both major chipmakers. Both LaGrande (Intel) and Presidio (AMD) are technically similar, both allowing for the implementation of a "safe" system kernel. They also support additional unsafe operating system partitions, in conjunction with the virtualization technologies Vanderpool and Pacifica (Intel/AMD).
We do not have any serious doubts about the success of TPM platforms. Risks for the technology exist only from unsatisfactory communication of the technology's potential, or if aggressive lobbying politics are forced upon the user, which could be by exaggerated by the influence of industries like the movie or music sectors. Unfortunately, HP/Compaq could not even provide beta software, which would have made possible a closer look at potential TPM capabilities.
Before trusted computing can become a reality on a larger scale, TPM hardware that is already around will remain in a state of pseudo-hibernation for the time being. We will see a wider breakthrough of this technology with the introduction of Windows Vista.
