and with Reeltime.TV having pretty fresh content (and deals with some of the big boyz) you KNOW it's coming for RLTR.
i love the competition - how else would you know RLTR is better?
nice - i'll have to check that out!
Yea, being an Aussie i'm familiar with this mine - am yet to visit although have been in the Kimberley's before. The charm of the diamonds from Argyle for the most part lies in the intensity of the colour - gemologists tend to view these rocks in an entirely different vein (haha so to speak) to the Diamonds that we usually see but in terms of volume they do make up something like 1/3 of the world's supply.
When I was home in early 2005 I had my uncle (he's a gemologist) seek about for rocks for the engagement ring i was designing and he just laughed at the idea of trying to find something of real quality from Argyle with the exception of Pink Diamonds which didn't crop up that often... suffice to say I didn't go with an aussie rock.
great to see the relationship strengthening - i'm sure many eyes will be on the results of this study!
Nanobac Pharmaceuticals Inc. Launches Landmark Study to Explore Heart Disease Properties of Calcifying Nanoparticles
September 25, 2006 08:00:34 (ET)
TAMPA, Fla., Sep 25, 2006 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Nanobac Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCBB:NNBP - News; "Nanobac" or "the Company") and Mayo Clinic have reached an agreement to study whether calcifying nanoparticles, already found in atherosclerotic plaque, are infectious and contribute to the onset of heart disease.
The identification of the cause of calcification would be a landmark in heart disease research. While many pathogens have been identified as a possible cause of calcification in the blood vessels of heart disease patients, to date, no smoking gun has been identified.
The study, aEURoeNanoparticles and Arterial Calcification,aEUR will be led by Virginia Miller, Ph.D., with John Lieske, M.D., and Franklin Cockerill, M.D., all of the Mayo Clinic. It is part of a multi-pronged initiative by scientists internationally to determine the disease-causing characteristics of calcifying nanoparticles (CNPs), known as nanobacteria(1). Each of the researchers has published work in peer-reviewed journals regarding the potential role of CNPs in heart disease.
aEURoeThese Mayo Clinic researchers are among leading investigators into the disease-related aspects of CNPs,aEUR said Nanobac PharmaceuticalsaEUR(TM) co-chair Dr. Benedict Maniscalco, himself a cardiologist who has published research in the field. aEURoeWe have studied the process of calcification for years and have documented evidence that will set the course for this next phase of the research.aEUR
The study represents an acceleration of research into the infectious aspects of calcifying nanoparticles following findings published by other researchers earlier this year that CNPs provoke stone forming disease in an animal model. Other concurrent studies are occurring in China, Finland, and at world-class facilities in Cleveland, Washington D.C. and at Johnson Space Center in Houston. Those studies are directed at other disease-causing characteristics of CNPs and potential therapies.
Nanobac and Mayo Clinic have had a general collaboration agreement since 2005.

lol NO DOUBT - it is well publicised that the price of diamonds is highly controlled. If people were able to buy in to the real number of diamonds available they'd be a LOT cheaper - but thanks to some shoddy practises at the mines and a tonne of tough muscle, the people on the street get a thin trickle through a limited numnber of sources and pay a premium for these *cough* "rare stones".
and these guys have been in the trickle for 17 years.
MONEY.
17 years i thought in this biz - just 12 since they had offices in the US! and is true, the diamond district is home to both big and small players.. some 2 man-crews that have been there for 35 years, and the massives...
let's hope just wholesale - that's where the real money is.. retail is a pig with all that overhead! my wife's family is in wholesale (they have a few factories in china) and they're way more successful than any of their retail friends mostly because they keep costs way down and trade on much larger volumes.
wouldn't surprise me, quite the spikey chart wwcd had - i expect it'll continue but those averages will just keep going up...
certainly won't be letting anyone have any of MY shares until after revenues are confirmed.. and even then they'd have to be pretty low for me to move on.
agreed - i'm hanging on to these puppies!
that's very true - they have the most pedantic legal of any.. disney is the absolute worst, but there rest aren't far off! no word can be mentioned about them unless they give you the OK, otherwise you risk the relationship.
feeling particularly good about the blocks at .0031!
yea!! i'm on a 9 bagger atm, holding tight!
lol oh man, i'm WITH YA! :)
someone was posting that Global Diamond supplies 90% of diamonds to the US.. lol - close, here's the excerpt from the PR:
"Global is pleased to be back in the “New York Diamond District” which supplies over 90% of all diamonds to North America"
The DISTRICT is the supplier to 90% of NA, not the company.
Still, looking to be huuuuuuuuge! :)
truly disruptive technologies only come along once in a while, this is something good to be in at this level!
yup - although mostly my point was that it's way cheaper for rltr - the cost of delivering you a TV show as part of their monthly sub program is pretty much the same as delivering you a movie, especially as more people join.
i wonder if rltr will have to purchase the movies just like blockbuster or netflix does? buying titles to rent out costs a lot more than what a consumer pays.
we have a board - you're posting on it.
same here - but i have faith, that seems to be their main selling point that they can deliver DVD-Quality Video On Demand (that's some good DQVOD, yo) without heinous overhead costs usually associated with hosting. The interesting challenge will be in satiating the monetary needs of those money-hungry buggers at the larger studios... after all, look at how much they have to pay top-tier actors these days! just crazy.
Netflix & Blockbuster manage to do it for <$20/month including shipping costs both ways - but with RLTR their operating costs actually get smaller each time a new customer joins (every new peer takes some of the load off RLTR's server which reduces their monthlies).
Hoping for a good-news update from the company in the foreseeable future.
who knows what "stage" they were at - but, one thing is for sure, you don't get to spend hours and hours with these studio execs.. get in, have your meeting for a couple of hours if you're lucky, and get out with action items. in 1 day they could meet with 4 different studios all over the city and still have time for a nice schmoozy dinner. and since they have had previous meetings (obviously, those trailers came from some effort on Reeltime's part) it wouldn't have been likely to have them give any new detailed info other than a couple of pages of summary on the powerpoint.
the fact that they had those meetings speaks volumes - go go go!
very nice!
i've owned this stock for a couple of years, so it doesn't really matter to me what happens tomorrow.. not watching it on a daily basis, got enough in there that if it ever returns to previous prices then i'm retiring.
probably a good stock to be flipping in the short term, but i'd hate to miss the real pop if they publish evidence that calcifying nanoparticles cause gallstones in humans.
yea, same as renting from a video store or downloading online - people who want to steal will always find a way.
ah - i was referring to the number you posted earlier on (even thought the address was different, phone number was the same) - that copy/paste i did came directly from the post where you announced we have a sales office.
eh, i'm just a confused old man - don't mind me :)
can't say I know enough about GPTN to answer that one! on the surface, doesn't look like the cost savings arise from the same place - IRDS deals with static data, GPTN deals with dynamic?
lol i have no idea if that's even accurate, but what i mean is the data you collect to make the movie file seems very different from the packets you send while making a phone call.
that being said, i'm sure the fact that ICTN had their hand in the development of both of these that there are inherent similarities.
hey nero! Question for you - it seems as though the files are downloaded (in the same way a bittorrent file is downloaded? and people have experienced better playback once the download is complete if they have a poor connection) - i imagine the data is kept encrypted on the disk so one couldn't play it back using other players - but what security is in place to keep something like Replay AV from capturing and saving the video & audio as it gets delivered to the screen?
those guys who are streaming music could also stream video - it's just another file format and there are plenty of technologies out there that enable streaming.
what's different about real is the grid-based delivery & the costs associated with it. not that they do video, anyone can do that. hell, you can do it off your own personal website.
finally got through, nice to see they have sales for europe/asia/americas.
HQ Global is certainly no small operation!
But, it's a good option for businesses to get a presence where they'd otherwise be unable to afford it or in the interim as they build out their own space.
not surprising, it's the same number you posted quite a while ago! i'm not having as much luck getting through though, keep getting a busy signal.

LOL! excellent - not surprising that the user experience at Unbox is as dumb as the name...
seriously. Unbox.
Reeltime "reely" needs to get some press about their grid approach & how not only are the costs beneficial, but the technology gets you your movie RIGHT MEOW (for all you Supertroopers fans out there), not in 5 hours...
heheh yea i remember it well... i was there thinking.. what the hey, i can't find anything under Cannery! :)
Yes, i've got a communique out to them already - i thought it interesting that the expiry date is 2 days time.
ah there we go, now that's interesting. i make no qualms about the fact that i'm relatively new to all this as my history has been in trading on the nasdaq with established companies that don't go through such changes.
I appreciate your reply! cheers!
thanks happy! i didn't think so - just want to keep things honest for the new folks who are looking at the current situation.
actually i was looking for evidence of a symbol change - you didn't provide that, you provided the nevada state evidence of a company name change.. these are different things - if you don't know, just say you don't know. TIA ;)
lol no, this is the information i was referring to when i said i was the first person to find out about the name change on this board. what i'm asking for is.. is there evidence of a symbol change? this is not a link to an SEC filing for a symbol change.
my guess is, with your continual referal to old information, that the answer is no.
yup, this has oft been quoted as the main reason for the failures of Movielink & Cinemanow to make it big. Probably why they both now allow you to burn DVDs from their download service.
they'd be crazy not to - there's nothing like free advertising that includes commentary from a 3rd party.
I have to agree that, in the bigger sense, commentaries on some stock board will not affect the price nor the minds of anyone thinking to invest in the stock - after all, everyone does their own comprehensive DD before throwing their $$ into a company, right?
Unless it's some stock that is just in the Pump & Dump game.. and if played correctly there's a way to make plenty of $$ there as well - but Reeltime is not one of those stocks.
I say everyone should have their voice - if you let just 1 negative post or even a series of them push you away from a stock then you haven't really done your research.
So, COOL, you're having issues - let them be heard. Let them be heard again and again because, quite frankly, once the information is off page one of this thread it is GONE for the new arrivals.
It does also help to be realistic about the size of reeltime's potential consumer market vs the value of their technology for licensing. History has shown us that the ubertech starts at the very top end, and eventually works its way into the general consumer's life - the fact that reeltime isn't for everyone right now just proves the notion that they have somewhere to grow in the years ahead.
yes, i was the first person to post info on the new company name a couple of weeks ago if you check out the historical posts - this is an answer to a different question than the one posed this morning.
