OT, no, I'm in Oz for the duration...but with my Finnish Mother (Nokia) joinging the Germans, I think it woul be handy to do more than swear in Deutsch
Das Leben ist gut!
OT, yup.
I'm starting my German lessons next week...
Sachenehmenzeit
If BE actually hits in Q2, as many here would like to believe (and I'm assuming a $6mill quarter would be required for BE) then $10 mill in Q4 shouldn't be that much of a stretch.
I've read a lot of the posts since the Q3 numbers (and CC) and I have one simple question to ask those that were surprised/disappointed at the revenues...
Wasn't the PP of 9 million+ just before the numbers came out enough of a hint?
By my estimation, based on the CURRENT growth (55% year over year) the bottom end of revenues comes in at 1 bit over 1.5 mill for Q4 2007
That would be the lower bound.
However, seagate, increased numbers of Dell platforms and the possibility of lucrative government contracts could put the top end an order of magnitude higher...
(but, last I checked, those things haven't happened yet)
For what it's worth, the company I work for (60,000+ employees) utilises (currently) a full desk encryption scheme that is software based. When a new laptop comes in, it take a full day to 'image' that machine to live in the corporate world, and a good deal of that time is setting up the hard drive.
The length of time, and resources required, is an acceptable cost to fully encrypted data for many many companies.
I've stopped listening to SKS. Every 3 months I get all the info I need. And the revenues tell the truth.
Hey, beans make ME explode...
In line with the whole managing expectations, Q4 is historically poor -- I would'nt expect much better than Q3 (and potentially a small dip)
dice guy...
The business unit I am part of (in a larger global company) is showing 50% growth year over year, and forecasts the same going forward the next 4 halves...and that is a staggering number.
97% makes my toes go numb. Would be extraordinarily astonished if that happened.
That was incredibly uncalled for!
I'm kinky...
New Bond (Daniel Craig) -- was not entirely convinced he could pull it off (looked to much a pretty boy, plus I'd never seen him in anything else, so the unknown factor kicked in). Then I saw Layer Cake on cable -- looking forward, now, to Casino Royale.
Note the following in the header of the matrix
The purpose of creating this table two years ago was to keep track of the nascent paradign [sic] shift in trusted computing. IBM (now Lenovo) led the way with their laptops, and early entrants to this list were view (by me at least) and leaders in security at the edge.
Today, every meaningful vendor has Trusted Platforms in their roadmap and Microsoft has an OS that requires TPM version 1.2 ready for enterprise users before the end of this year. There are no more real surprises -- the paradigm has shifted.
Going forward, I will only update this table to correct broken links. Adding new platforms is, for the most part, meaningless.
I've got more enjoyable things to do with my life.
If someone wants to take over, fill yer boots (and I'd be happy to host it)

Nokia Wins USD 230 Million Managed Services Deal With Vodafone Australia
Thursday November 2, 2:27 am ET
ESPOO, Finland, November 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nokia (NYSE: NOK - News) and Vodafone Australia have signed a USD 230 million, seven-year managed services agreement that includes engineering, operations and maintenance of Vodafone's HSDPA, 3G, GPRS and GSM networks.
As part of the arrangement, Nokia will be responsible for managing Vodafone Australia's ongoing network operations covering HSDPA, 3G, GSM and core networks infrastructure including the detailed design, engineering, optimization operations as well as network management, monitoring, fieldwork and maintenance services for the networks.
I was part of the bid and negotiating team...
And since I am responsible for the detailed design and optimisation portion of it (and we went 'live' yesterday), my visits will remain infrequent...
Tudor?
As a Canadian living in Oz, and frequent visitor to HK, I'd suggest Australia over Hong Kong in a heart beat...
Unless you like large, boisterous crowds.
digger, wave has a history among the momentum players also. I've no doubt there's some heat behind the steam, but the pile on effect cannot be discounted.
I expect a drop to the high 2's once revs are released (unless they are in excess of 2 mill)
But I've never been right on these things.
And it's abundantly clear that Wave is finally in position to make some serious money.
Is it irony that pairs Wave with a company that has a wave has a corporate symbol?
Some will pish-posh releases like these, but make no mistake -- the larger your dealer network, the higher your sales...
[edit]Those bastards at Fox (Fox8 here in Australia)!!
Thursday night -- 2 hours of 24 -- one episode without commercials, 5 minutes of break then another full episode without commercials. (the latest season -- just started three weeks ago)
It's reaching saturation. I have to Tivo it (Foxtel IQ it) to catch it, but after two hours I have to go through 6 days and 22 hours of withdrawal before the next pair.
2 hours of 24 is more than twice as strong as a single hour at a time...
[edit] Just to clarify, by 'last' season, I mean the one where Palmer is assassinated and Bauer turns out to be not dead after all.
Well, been here a bit longer and have a bit of a better understanding.
Club soccer (big push to call it football now) is the recreational soccer, split up regionally, and by age and division (division 1 being the aces, division 6 needing a lot of help)
There is also representative football (rep squads). These are the teams that develop kids to get up to professional status. Serious shit.
There is also a development program put on by Soccer NSW (still haven't changed their name) that starts at age 7 (I think). It follows the Coerver program (http://www.coerver.com) and train three night a week during the 'off-season' (essentially summer. Training started last night and goes to April-ish (when club football starts)
Bottom line, it is a serious program here.
I don't coach any more. My on is in the hands of paid professionals.
OT Hey, I've got nothing much to contribute now anyway. Full on in the soccer training -- spending more time at the pitch with my son than I am at home these days...
It's Autumn until Dec 21...
(Well, spring, here)
How big is soccer in the US now?
Here in Australia the A-League, for the most part, looks to be growing (New Zealand is not pulling their weight -- their last home game drew an embarrassingly low 1700 spectators (and they played like crap), but crowds of 15,000 to 20,000 per game seems to be settling in as the norm these days...
Awk can answer that far better than I can...
...and I'm right in the heart of Nokia Networks (not the mobile phones -- they call us the dark side)
The mobile phone networks (starting with GSM and further enhanced with UMTS) start off more secure than the PC environment since each phone is identified by a unque ESN and SIM (or USIM in the case of UMTS), but the addition of the virtual TPM in the devices will be a quantum leap forward.
OT: I was, many moons ago, managing a team of engineers designing a CDMA network for Lucent in Omaha and Lincoln Nebraska (THEIR client was Leap wireless/Cricket...a story on business plans gone bad I'll have to share one day).
Anyway, an ideal candidate for a cell site was the water tower in the Avaya complex in Omaha. Lucent, being the parent of Avaya, promised easy acess.
They failed to deliver and a decidely inferior alternative was used instead.
But that's how I **know** Avaya is a spin off from LU...
Avaya is an offshoot of Lucent, is it not?
I was about to post the same story...

Security threat
September 7, 2006
LiveWire
Criminals are preying on the personal details left lying on discarded computers, writes Louisa Hearn.
BANK details, credit card numbers and pornographic images are just some of the personal details found on hard drives of second-hand computers that changed hands in Australia this year.
Research conducted by Western Australia's Edith Cowan University uncovered "significant volumes of sensitive information" that could expose organisations and individuals to crimes.
The release of the study coincided with a recent BBC report that bank account details belonging to thousands of Britons were being traded in West Africa for $50 each.

Code cracking is the new pot of gold
September 19, 2006
Patrick Gray finds that computer passwords take only seconds to break.
IF YOU think the password protection on your MS Word file is keeping it safe from prying eyes, chances are you're wrong. The time it takes to crack password-protected Microsoft Office files has tumbled from a 25-day average to a matter of seconds, thanks to a decades-old code-cracking technique that until recently was not viable.
You made two incorrect assmuptions...
1) that I'm not in
and
2) that I was saying something negative to/about barge.
yes...go, barge.
ISPRO, over the past year or so you've become a premier contributor to this site.
