OT: Success, you have mail.eom

For about $16 million we can get a controlling interest in the company and put some IHUB people on the board. Anyone want to start taking a collection or wait till it drops a little more? Better yet, we could all form a partnership with the shares we already have and raise the money from a VC for the rest to buy a controlling interest. Seriously, anyone interested?

Hangdog, what was the latest count of shares represented on this board? I think we can do this.

Clawmann, any legal issues with this?

Drmyke, I know I can count on one of your personalities to support this plan.

JP, think you can round us up some VC money?

For someone coming up with items for the shareholder meeting...

There needs to be an elimination of stock options until this company turns a profit.

Prentice Hall textbook info.

Mr. Szatkowski said that making "Marketing: Real People, Reach Choices" the first truly interactive text book is being viewed by Prentice Hall as a pilot program in its internal evaluation of interactive text books. He said the section on NeoMedia will include eight uses of qode - three for information and five for general interest on the Mobile Web. In addition, he said qode will also be used in the Ron Jon and Grendha sections of the text book.

Looks like we can expect some kind of announcement tomorrow on Ron Jon and Grendha if the book is out tomorrow. Possibly a PR on the other 8 uses detailed in the book.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the prentice hall text book going to cover the launch of Qode. If so, and that includes something other than the 'ONE' campaign, we should get a PR tomorrow morning since the text book is out tomorrow. Seems like sound logic.

When is the shareholder meeting? Is it in December? There better be one heck of an announcement out of the UK soon... or that could be an ugly meeting.

Onthetake: That's what I have been thinking all along, I just hope it happens soon.

Good point. Hadn't thought of that. Can't really compare to past years since this is such a new industry, but something to watch in the future.

Personalizit: I agree some things have been handled very poorly, but the magnitude of convincing all those companies that it was a good deal is hard for me to overlook. Could they all really have that poor business judgement? Maybe one company, but all of them. Not saying it isn't possible, but it sure seems unlikely, unless they were extremely mislead. In which case, things will get much worse.

SS, nice summary. After the conference call a couple weeks ago, I was expecting revenues to increase over Q2, not stay flat or slightly down. The call never said they had increased, just that they had revenue. I think I read into that a little too much and assumed things would be up a little. Disheartening.

Has anyone from this board ever asked someone from the acquired companies if they are nervous about their future with NEOM? I would be curious as to what they would say after todays filing. I would also think that this would bolster Scanbuy into trying to drag this out as long as possible. Any thoughts?
The thing that makes this so painful is knowing that one deal with MSFT or Google would change the company overnight... when will that deal happen, or will it. It's kept many here for a painful ride, and I suspect the subs may be on that same ride.

A question about the aquisitions: Is it customary for the company being acquired to see the books of the acquiring company to determine if it is a financially viable offer? If so, how could so many people not see that NEOM was hanging on by a thread. Doesn't make sense. Surely, there is a significant revenue source on the horizon or the acquired companies didn't know what to look for at the time. Comments?

Anyone think we will get a good PR tomorrow on the launch of Qode to offset the crappy financials? If not, how low do we go tomorrow? The good news is we can only drop about 8 cents. Where else can you invest and only have an exposure of 8 cents?

Probably just the qode site, but I am not the most knowledgable in these matters.

Dr Myke, that would be good to see. Can we get that data from the Alexia website?

Soxfan: I haven't read all the posts today, but a hint. Check out what they are doing in Japan.

Comment regarding recent Chinese agreement:
The conference call left me thinking that any agreements in China would be down the road since they were just starting talks. Yet, they announced a deal(a very significant one I think) out of the blue. This is the kind of thing that keeps me hanging on. It's obvious they can keep a secret. I wonder what else they are working on.

Let me see if I understand this Microsoft Barcode system. From the MS website below, you can get a URL from a code, embedded in the QR code and it can't be changed. However, I can then take that code(URL) that I have taken a picture of and put it in my browser window without typing and connect to the site. Is that correct? A little more work, and a code can't be changed, but a very crude work around NEOM IP or the start of something else? I would think that MS next step would be direct connect using NEOM IP... when we get it all ready. Crawl, Walk, Run... or maybe crawl, choke on marble... Opinions... thoughts from those who are more knowledgable than I.

Has anyone checked on the Doctor? Strangely quiet from Canada. Hope this didn't push him over the edge.

Personalizit: Too simple, but sometimes the simplest is most likely to occur.

I had hoped my friend was wrong, but now I hope he is right. I posted this back in April.

Success: I see the stock did not react well to your stepping down as moderator. You had no idea you were this powerful. Changewave has nothing on you.

Pearson has very, very strong ties to the UK. I think they are our launch company due to the prentice-hall connection. Now, will it be with Penguin publishing? They have many books and could definitely benefit. I think the launch could be even broader, but I am now very convinced we are looking at a Pearson launch and not Newscorp.

I think you are probably onto something YJ. A little more digging here could give us some nice clues.

Woogerbear: Outside of hoping you are correct... what proof do you have of this?

Hangdog:Got your PM.Thanks.EOM

MM: Who are 'these people'?

They were a little short with me last time I emailed and I was nice in my writing. I email very infrequently. I thought I would give it a break and let others who get better responses try.

The current market value of the company is between 60-80 million depending on the current share price. It would seem that we would be a PRIME candidate for a buyout at these prices. If our revenues continue to grow and our price remains in this area, we will get more offers. Let's pull together about $40 million and get a controlling interest in this company. Any takers?

Are we sure Qode hasn't been officially launched? Maybe it has. Has anyone asked management if Qode is officially launched?

Nokia licenses Trimble GPS technology. Not sure how this relates to NEOM patents. Haven't dug into it yet.

Good stuff Alan.eom

What time does the show in London start tomorrow?

I didn't realize they were being considered for an aquisition.

Excellent idea Movieguy. Unless they have something better in the works, I saw do this for everyone until nobody can live without it.

N E O M: I believe your deleted post from the other day mentioned a show or some kind of event in the UK soon. Can't remember exactly how you worded it, but I got the impression of a CTIA like event in the UK. When is that event?

Symbol Technologies is for sale... Interesting.

JP, Success, Hangdog and all others who dig deep:

I know this was discussed a little the other day, but I have a few more questions. By the way, look at the comment to the article(the first one is mine).

http://theponderingprimate.blogspot.com/2006/09/create-your-own-mobile-barcode-with.html#comments

The PP talks about scanbuy. How does Scanbuy make money from me generating my own code that links to my site? It doesn't appear they are charging for the service. However, if NEOM or any other company could get every Myspace page to create their own barcode, I think that company would win the physical world connection battle. Man I hope that company is NEOM. In my mind, that would be the killer announcement. If News corp, the owner of myspace, worked out a deal with NEOM to do this... BOOOOMMMMMM! That is what I want to here. Game, set, match.
