in4it, To pour salt on an open wound, could have sold much higher earlier in this year, not .71, but a heck of a lot higher then now.
I guess you did not get my point nor my humor. Yes, details DO make a difference and worth disussing ad finitum when one's own personal money is involved and invested. So, Iain, Lain, Lane, Ian, Iane, Aine's spelling does matter. The one thing I do not get is how seemingly respectable people get their reputations tarnished when they join NEOM management. Why can't they hold their own and retain high ethics as demonstrated in the rest of their careers? What does NEOM do to them??? Unexcusable!
"OK, nothing matters. It seems Lain's honeymoon period is over.
Not even the spelling of his name matters anymore."
Claw, I totally agree with you 100%. I believe you have a law background so I tend to believe you over others.
OK, nothing matters. It seems Lain's honeymoon period is over.
Not even the spelling of his name matters anymore.
It is not "picayune" when our hard earned money is invested here. I strongly disagree with you, sir. Every word matters. What do you think a lawyer would say, "oh, just let it go. It is just picayune." You just lost cred with me.
"So who ACTUALLY made those comments then? Come on Iain/Bena!?
Could it have been Bena's husband who wrote it? Is he the ghost writer?
'"but this one small step can make us fly"
Iain clearly said in the CC he did not say those comments - he said he was misquoted.
Bena hasn't addressed Iain's comments about being misquoted. She is silent. Which gets me wondering if she made that up?
So who ACTUALLY made those comments then? Come on Iain/Bena!?
Sean,
I couldn't agree with you more. Now, convince management and we will all be rich! The missing link is between management and shareholders. Most of my learning experiences in dealing with big corporation type management these days is that the "experts" in each division will not even attempt to answer a question that someone else can answer better in another division. This always causes a missing link.
Never say never. Yours is the first post I've read today. I had to chuckle. I need some humor. I have been staying over night in the hospital helping a friend coming out of a coma. A little out of touch? Perhaps and maybe not. Comes and goes. What's the latest on NEOM. I may never read your response. Can't catch upon all the posts. If I see a long post on my I-phone, I just skip it.
GLTA!
Everything is not always as it appears. Look for a buy-out this week. GLTA!
"I am revising my prediction to a buy-out announcement this week."
"Oh no, not again. :)"
Yes, I absolutely believe this prediction can be true. I think you agree, somethin's gotta give. This toxic financing cannot go on forever. There would ultimately be a cataclismic explosion. Look at all the posts here when nothing is supposedly happening. I hear the rumblings deep down signaling a new day, a volcano of NEOM lava wealth to all of us loyal long shareholders.
When NEOM spikes, it really spikes. Look at the chart history of spikes.
I think I will move to Poland so I can use this technology. Can you believe Poland is ahead of us. Things that make you go hmmmmm. And,no Polish jokes please. They have us beat.
It does seem that something will break any day. When you least expect it, breaking news could happen. So much tension. I feel like the spring is coiled as tight as possible and something has got to give. I would love to see a buy out. I am revising my prediction to a buy out announcement this week. GLTA!
I know a lot of you are down on NEOM and rightfully so, but it is the weekest month of the year traditionally for NEOM. Every year I would cringe at the terms "doldrums of summer, dog dayz of summer" etc., but it is true. Europe takes real vacations and businesses total shut down at this time of year. The littleone day spike was a day trader groupfrom the Yahoo board and they have secret codes to buy and sell. This year is no different except we have a gimmer of hope. Sit tight in my opinion. Have a drink or something and chill. There might be a reason for a less than professional website, they may not need it in the future, why waste time and money making it fancy, similar to no ASM. Why bother.
"When investing is your friend, euphoria is the enemy" We are the opposite here. Depression should be our friend and "buy".
Just let it play out. Most of us are not selling. That's for sure. So, we have weighed all the risks and know we have a great chance of beating the system if this takes off as every one here thinks it will.
Why only one for NEOM and how many for Scanbuy? Doesn't matter if it is a private or public company. Scanbuy has more business because they were aggressively seeking clients. What was NEOM doing during that time?
I don't see why YA would want to give up their gig. Why let such an easy money maker go even if they get a buyout offer?
The common shareholders are HELPLESS in this situation. Has anyone of you got even a shareholder's meeting out of your NEOM management? The best way for the little people, you, the common shareholders to make money,is to buy low on the dips and sell high on tne runs.
A 45% gain is not a bad days work. For me, I never sell. That is my problem.
And, what about a reverse split? No one has mentioned that lately.
I'm not listening to any dot connecting right now. Working on my next prediction.
Pathetic how NEOM throws the shareholders a bone when they get unruly. The shareholders are like their puppets.
Hangdog, I HOPE you have a great B-day celebration! We know you already have HUGE gifts. I'm talking about the six million plus, not the brass ones.
Perhaps you could put up your old Hang doggy dog picture for the occasion. The one with the droopy ears.
Have a great day! GO NEOM!
Zacked
If LAIN and IAN would communicate with IAIN maybe we could make this GIANT step into HUGE news!
Interesting how Chip was waiting in the wings all this time and working for NEOM. Who else is out there doing the same thing?
Hi S.,
Thank you for your kind wishes. Your comments are very appreciated and you sound like a wonderful person in your concern. I see you were born on Valentine's day this year. I was born on July 27th, six years ago, although I have been in NEOM many more years, so NEOM is like family to me.
I feel like the news is just beginning this week of the 27th, as I said before. Many good things to come in my opinion and what is the point of being here if it isn't hope for the future. I have been blessed to volunteer in a hospice where hope springs eternal. What do we have if we don't have hope. Why else would one be here if they didn't have hope.
One of my predictions is based on the MIT news. I have a former student finishing his Phd at MIT. When he was studying with me we grew close and I had many times talked about NEOM and the paperclick invention. Now, many years later he is finishing his formal study at MIT as I am very proud. So you see, it's a small world.
Bena said we would get HUGE news by the end of this month, hence my prediction of news this week of the 27th coincides with her views as well. So we are on the same page. Don't despair.
I strongly suggest for you to read Hangdog's posts as he is far wiser than me. Don't buy or sell on anything here.
All the best and thanks again for the post and thoughts.
Zacked
It is the 27th all day! Give me a break. I don't have time to respond to this drivel all day. Keep your eyes open and continue to look for news. Use every search ability in your power and contact management if you are not patient. Gheeeez!
You can see the PPS is going nowhere fast without substantial news,folks. Hang on! Nothing will change with YA around and selling. I said this many times. Some of you oldtimers and newbies have zilch for patience. When has anything ever happened for NEOM in the summer? Give me some examples. hmmmmmmmmm
Yes, it is the 27th...all day...more later...keep your eyes open.

NeoMedia Launches Philippine Solutions
NeoMedia Europe has announced further deals in the Philippines, through its relationship with local mobile solutions company, Omniprime Marketing.
NeoMedia says it aims to increase its presence in the Philippines, a country that boasts the highest per capita usage for text messaging in the world, via an exclusive deal with the country’s port operator in the Batangas Port, where it is running a pilot program, which will replace paper tickets for people embarking vessels in the port with mobile tickets sent directly to people’s phones. Once the pilot programe is complete, the system will be rolled out to other ports in the Philippines.
A second project with Phoenix Petroleum’s 100 gas stations throughout the Philippines, allows customers to make pre-paid purchases through their mobile phones and then pay at any of the country’s petrol stations, receiving loyalty points for their purchases using the a 2D barcode system.
“Working alongside Omniprime, as we have done for the past three years, we continue to further strengthen our foothold in this rapidly developing mobile market,” says NeoMedia Europe CEO, Dr. Christian Steinborn. “NeoMedia’s technology is perfectly suited to the geography of a country such as the Philippines, and we’re looking forward to applying our services in more new and innovative ways."
I give Bena's comments absolutely no credibility. You have to consider the source and the very unprofessional manner in which she condusts her biddness. She does not have spell check or grammar check. Why doesn't she use her husband as a proof reader? She lost all my confidence when she brought her husband into the mix using him to support her incompetence.
I get that sinking feeling as in the time when we never got our dividends when I read her posts. No ethics or professionalism.
I hope all are continuing to contact NEOM management letting them know we are watching them and rooting for them. It doesn't matter if they respond. Just drop them an email message with your kind thoughts and best wishes. I'm sure they would appreciate it. This is war.
Tomorrow is the 27th. Expecting huge things. GLTA!

Three more days togo.
Wow, I'm sure that Bena is ecstatic that the I-hub board thinks she is the center of the universe. gheeeze
I'm expecting huge news on the 27th. Three more days to go.
GLTA!
Apple is the king of the mobile internet. Come on NEOM help the competition. Four days to go.
Palm is a no hit wonder.
Google is very seasonal.
What about Yahoo?
And then there is Microsoft.
There is nothing wrong with the Texas courts. Oprah did fine with her beef suit in a red neck town.
This is crazy we are just stuck here. What is the catalyst that will get us out of this stagnation?
I'm waiting for my $145.00. Will that be the PPS or what I get out of my investment, my ending NEOM balance.
Thank you to everyone who has sent me private messages over the years. I just found them last night. Sorry I did not respond. I don't have the PM feature.
Four days left until the 27th.
I saw round pretzels in the store tonight and they reminded me of NEOM. Around and around and around we go.
Four more days. Keep the faith. What is your prediction of a buy-out pps price?
Did you ever hear of "frenemies"? It's a new word in the dictionary, probably influenced by NEOM and.......
"Frenemy" (sometimes spelled "frienemy") is a portmanteau of "friend" and "enemy" which can refer to either an enemy disguised as a friend or to a partner who is simultaneously a competitor. The latter can describe personal, geopolitical, and commercial relationships both among individuals and groups or institutions. The word may have appeared in print as early as 1953." Sounds like Laura and Buckley on facebook.
At least you guys were not banned for three years.
Look at the volume. Look at the price, 0% movement, so who is selling? zero per cent?
I would be ecstatic if we got 14.5 cents now. What percentage is that from here? Are some of you living in the real world? Just tell me for sure this is the price so I can buy as many shares as possible. Have any of you been in a buy out before? I have and the boards I was on talked about what we could expect and it was compared to the precentage increase of other buy outs. Look up the average precetage increase of the pps from the time of the announcement to the buy out price. In most cases it is not that much. Another boring day in NEOMland. Five days to go..
You really scared me, jcg! When I was glancing at the NEOM
I-hub posts on my I-phone, it looked like "Form B-K for NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES INC"(you know those screens are so small, of course it's not my eye sight:) instead, when I enlarged and took a closer look I saw "Form 8-K for NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES INC."
Five more days! I agree with B C's post.
"Damn the torpedoes, Full steam ahead." Use all the millions and everything in the NEOM arsenal to launch a massive attack on Scanbutt. I vote "yea!"
"Farragut could see the ships pulling back from his high perch, lashed to the rigging of his flagship the USS Hartford. "What's the trouble?" was shouted through a trumpet from the flagship to the USS Brooklyn. "Torpedoes!" was shouted back in reply. "Damn the torpedoes!" said Farragut, "Four bells. Captain Drayton, go ahead! Jouett, full speed!" The bulk of the fleet succeeded in entering the bay. Farragut then triumphed over the opposition of heavy batteries in Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines to defeat the squadron of Admiral Franklin Buchanan."
.....it is the 27th.
I am so glad I am not a newbie. I can totally sit back and relax. I had zero inclination to buy today, locked and loaded.
J.P. is exactly correct as I have said many times as well, the PPS will be going no where with YA around and selling.
I nominate JP to try to contact NEOM management. Do I hear a second?
I personally feel there is nothing wrong in putting some constructive pressure on NEOM management. It is my opinion it gets results as in Bena's communications. All in my humble opinon of course.
If you want to get psyched up, look at today's chart. so horrible, a nose dive at the end of the day and who do you think caused that? Day traders? Guess again. It happened like this for many years. Sometimes we get a three day run or a real run, but most of the time cut down by you know who in my opinion. The only good thing about today is the volume. Maybe a sign or just a day trader move.
I believe a deal and/or huge announcement will be made on July 27th. I have been saying this consistantly for quite some time.
If you don't want to agree with me that is your choice. But, I feel strongly about this for several reasons. I read very carefully.
Six days to go.
I totally agree with Howard. I could not say it better.
Thanks, Howard. (http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=39710959)
"I'm looking for somewhere over $1.00, others are looking for less.
Years ago, I was assigned an account of a women who had 52,000 shares on Bristol Meyers. Her husband (before he died) had told her, "Whenever you sell, will be too early." He was 100% right. Every few years the stock split, raised the divident, pps went up; I was with her for 7 years, she never sold, had over 100,000 shares when I left Merril Lynch.
Ryan, I have a feeling that NEOM could be like that, so I won't sell EVER, unless they force me to."
Howard, Congrats and good to hear the weather was agreeable. Sounds like you are really blessed. Now, we are back to NEOM with hopefully a great week starting with good volume.
I'm waiting for the 27th. Seven days to go.
Is Microsoft Bouncing Back?
by Chad Mumm
Since 2006, Apple has been pummeling Microsoft in its "I'm a Mac" ad campaign, stereotyping PCs as stuffy, business-obsessed, and out of touch, while characterizing Macs as cool, savvy, and aware of the latest trends. For three years, we've seen Microsoft try (and fail) to find a relevant answer to the tremendous success of Apple's effort. From talking dinosaur heads and the Bill Gates/Jerry Seinfeld duo, to the embarrassment of the news that the "I'm a PC" ads were actually made on Macs, Microsoft's responses to Apple's "I'm a Mac" ads have seemed like one flub after another.
Recently, however, there are signs that Microsoft may be bouncing back, if its new ad campaigns are any indication. The Redmond, Washington company has found a winner with 'Laptop Hunters,' an ad that plays up the good value of PCs in difficult financial times. In a recent column, Newsweek writer Daniel Lyons praised the new angle Microsoft has taken in relation to Apple, saying, "the deeper subtext is that these days, wasting money doesn't make you hip and smart-it makes you stupid. In the age of the collapsing economy, frugality is the new cool." Microsoft may well be striking a chord here in more ways than just consumer perception -- sales of Apple computers declined by 16-percent in February, while sales of PCs rose 22-percent in the same period.
In the new ads, cameras follow supposedly real people as they try to find a laptop that fits their budget.
We cannot expect much movement in PPS with Yorkville still on the scene and still selling.
I am expecting huge news on the 27th. Eight days to go.
What is this deadline you are talking about?
Nine days and counting. Mine is the 27th.
If we do not get huge news on the 27th of July, I will sell all of my shares.
hmmmmmmmm.....what do I know?
That's great! NEOM is really putting on the full court press on Scanbuy. Way to go!
I am staying with my July 27 prediction and will sell all my shares if it does not come to fruition.
NEOM wanted to do it all on their own and couldnot afford the word registry to get it off the ground. Tobin should help NEOM and Microsoft get back together and leave Scott out of it.
hmmmmmmmm.....like I said, this Yorkville death spiral financing is so tiring and depressing. Can't believe it is still happening and the shareholders let it happen after all these years. So many seemingly intelligent minds on this board mean nothing as they let NEOM continue to rip the shareholders off. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put humpty dumpty together again. Robot, don't you have a pic for this?
All in my HO of course. News on the 27th???? I'm going to again email NEOM management and encourage them to expedite the selling process of the company NEOM.
Why don't beam and claw get together and help NEOM instead of bickering here. Make good use of your time.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....is today the volume hint to buy you were talking about?
