Nor do I find any value to your posts..
Ha...

Apple's normal pricing model introduces the latest phone/computer at the same top price and moves previous models down a notch. Why would a LM phone cost more anyway?
They're highly ranked for their prototype prices.
It is mass delusion to engage in a discussion re the possibility of there ever actually being a high volume mobile phone case made of amorphous alloy. Cool idea, just not economically feasible and never will be, despite the vague, uniformed, naive arguments and assumptions that it is or will be someday.
That doesn't really match up on a ranking scale.
They may have temporarily mentioned the trade name for Liquidmetal's introduction. In general, all materials are generic. Don't think it's anything.
The first link, page 16 references Liquidmetal.
I wouldn't have conjured up the iPhone, the iPad, Mac OS etc. if you had asked me that years ago. I'm the wrong guy. That old Steve Jobs innovation is what everyone is still waiting for. Lacking that, I selfishly hope for an iPhone 5LM this Xmas season. It may be all they have.
Believe him- Schwab allows it.
My wife and I are fully Apple. It will be hard to pry us away. That said, on a scale of 1 - 10 yesterday was boring. Except for fingerprint security everything else was incremental. Ivey better start asserting himself. The real Apple/LQMT may be closer than we think.
I really don't believe it but, if there is an opportune time it might be next week. Samsung has better intelligence than all the silly websites and they've made a few puzzling PR gestures lately. An Apple LM release by itself wouldn't be much news but... a new OS7, combined with a hardened case and surprise glass plus some unknown Ivey razzle-dazzle... and Apple might have a game-winner. Again, I don't think it's time but...
Guys what should we do sell or buy!?
Why the yawns? The original tool was manufactured by the lovable Kang Gang. Who will IM the 100,000,000 new ones?
The head doesn't have to be one piece. Most heads have multiple interlocking materials that often incorporate internal weights. What glue did Kang and Co. use? LePages? Elmers?
the product was later dropped, in part because the prototypes shattered after fewer than 40 hits
I certainly could not have said it better than you, OOO.
I don't want to admit it, but it actually does make a lot of sense. Who would you expect to commercialize LM first? - Apple or LQMT? If Apple is throwing all the bucks at R&D to make sure what is commercialized looks the way they want it to and can stand the test of consumer/commercial use, it would make the most sense that LQMT will be utilizing that R&D dumped into CIP for non-C/E use.
Further, Apple validating the tech (and the materials Vidal says other engineers are "fearful" of - namely, beryllium) is metaphorically like having the King (Apple) taste the food before the servants. Plus, everyone else has been extolling the virtues of the marketing angle of Apple's use. How is the small R&D budget of LQMT going to outdo the R&D budget and commercialization prospects of Apple? It can't. It's why the sooner AAPL comes out with an LM product (not just a SIM card removal clip), the faster LQMT can start to sell something.
To infer LM's product readiness from Apple's product release schedule makes no sense at all.
Forget it- big NDA violation.
That point of contact when your buddy's pencil hits the scorecard is an important freeze-frame too.
Experiences Shared with Steipp
Yes, Sandy, Tom is very familiar with my experiences with Liquidmetal clubs. In fact, the first time I met Tom, which was the first time I also met my friend Watts, was at a shareholders meeting. Before the meeting started I asked Tom if they would be pursuing golf clubs again. Hey, I'm a golfer! He told me that they had no plans, at that point, of re-entering the golf club market. Perhaps down the road, but not now, because they were pursuing other promising ventures at the moment. At that point I shared with the board my incredible experiences with the driver. Steipp asked if I had experienced any of the face insert problems that a number of other golfers had complained about. I replied in the negative, and told him that I had actually owned five drivers (and explained why so many), and had never had an issue with any of them. Steipp had a look of amazement come over him, and then looked over at Otis and told him to jot that down, that they'd look into it.
So that's my recount!
Black, White, Champagne, and now Graphite.

For the love of all that is holy... please let LQMT be involved in the "luxury" colors of iPhone 5s.
Perhaps best to keep razor blades away from all LQMT shareholders.
Steipp clearly stated he's aware of Vmatter.
Do you know a double stuffed Oreo isn't actually double stuffed? Its really 1.86 x stuffed. Whata bummer.
SHOT_HIS_WADS has to date, done just that. Years of busywork DD by this busybody has netted him next to nothing. Wait... less than nothing (it's a big negative number.) Looking forward to his next character assassination... uh DD.
Wait..... Sandy is a GIRL?? LOL
Yeah- thanks for the year old video (I still marvel at it's poor quality.)
One of the many things I don't understand is------ How long would it take an aerospace industry (or company) to examine this new metal alloy? I read somewhere a one inch bar of titanium can lift (x) amount of pounds. . .When compared to a one inch bar of lqmt the lqmt can pick up at least 50 % more. Once the strength was verified, and the hardness, and the elasticity lqmt would be in. Maybe years of testing are required ? Seems like all aircraft would want stronger frames. I've already read where a scientist said we'd have car frames of titanium if we could figure out how to mine it cheaper.
Might not be a great entry. I think it'll find support somewhere between the current price and the .06 of a month ago (pre-hoopla.)
Quicker, better, cheaper. LQMT ought to be able to do two or even three of those vs. 1,000s of existing parts.
I have been accused by both the board and administrators of being a boat rocker, a fighter against city hall -disruptive, if you will- a trait which goes back to my elementary school days. I will never cease to be so.
I think it is fine to be disruptive, but just not in an audience of status quo seekers.
Now, when it comes to disruptive technologies, I think there is a bit of a mischaracterization here.
It is not the technology which is disruptive; it is the disruptive person who leads a new technology from introduction to full-scale development.
Steve Jobs was a disrupter. Steve Jobs disrupted his industry. Not the technology.
Dick Hipple is a disrupter. He has taken what was a status quo conservative Cleveland Company, Materion, and transformed the Company into an innovative go-getting high tech growth company.
Bernie Visser...DISRUPTER from the very GITGO....End of Discussion.
Bill Johnson, formulater of Vitreloy, a GO GETTER in developing technology...never sitting on his laurels, but always seeking not niche markets but new processes which can go into any market.
These guys do the heavy lifting. These guys are Disrupters.
These guys kill the status quo.
Now, I ask you: Don't we need a Disrupter Disrupting the status quo in Rancho Santa Margarita? Cleaning house and hiring DISRUPTERS instead of riding on someone else's coattails.
I'll do that. Thanks!
CG, if there is an iPhone (not any old brand of mobile phone) with a liquid metal (glassy metal/amorphous metal) CASE (not coating) by 12/31/2019, WITH A PRICE UNDER $1,999.95, I will send you $100. All you need to do is remind me when it happens.
You are one of the few on this board who get it.
Perhaps "our most famous poster's" DD compels him to bitch about how long Apple is taking to get out the various patents (what a couple morons Cook & Ivey are!) Speaking of morons, Visser and Hipple- what are they thinking getting involved in this mess. Our product, a perennial failure under previous management appears to have arrived. The reason Steipp constantly invokes ND is because "our most famous poster" would call the prospects and browbeat them. Complain away- it must feel good.
