I agree about the stickie . Well laid out and great DD for a new investor .
targets are usually conservative and 1 year out .
Scott Shaffer was directly behind EK in the back row . Looked like PB was in the back row also . Couldn't find JM , but he surely was there . Maybe I just didn't recognize him .
Muzzy 48 Thanks !

".....Just because you write something, doesn't make it true...."
Does that include you ?
great post !
like our friend said " by now either you believe Glassware works or you don't " . I'm looking forward to next week , not for a SP pop , but because the Azure/partnership revenue meter starts ticking , and for the shorts , that's a ticking time bomb .
"...I don't believe the videos were regarding ANY as they are dated from 2014...."
I hope we're not involved with them . I'd rather see us have a relationship with the U.S. government .
Isn't the video we're talking about coming from Microsoft ?
Wow ! Awesome ! Thanks for the post mamabear1 .
yes ,I have a feeling the Nov. calls ( both the 2.5 and the 5s ) are going to be a real gold mine .
please short .
. Live happily with tablets and mobile.
The third thing Windows 10 needs to prove is that Windows can live happily on tablets and mobile. This is of course what Windows 8 promised — indeed, what it was designed to do — but apart from the interesting-but-niche hybrid devices like the Surface and the Lenovo Yoga, the tablet world is still dominated by Android and iOS.
I'm also hoping for a Monday morning PR on the 15th .
I'm hoping that happens too .
I see similarities here between ANY and EXAS because right from the start EXAS was supported by the Mayo clinic . They had endorsement , validation and support from the most prestigious clinic in the country yet the shorts decided the Mayo Clinic was all wrong and they were right . Crazy !
That would make the stock around $6.67 , which would make both the Nov. 2.5 and 5 calls a good buy .
henjo - I'm near your age and find it a bit amusing with all this
talk of " long term " . That term with us is about months and perhaps weeks . Not too long ago I got a new roof on my house . The guy quoted a price for a 20 year roof and a 30 year roof .
I asked him " how much is a 10 year roof ? "
Low volume today . I expect the afternoon rebound. Almost halfway though the New York show.
Yea , don't you just hate recurring revenue Hugodrax ?
@Lovethe80x @Sphere3D I will be sure to let everyone know as soon as I can get that info. Keep your eyes out for it and other stuff ;)
Wonder what " other stuff :) is ?
This was a PB tweet about the MS video .

And I don't think we should believe in electricity because after all , we've never seen it .
hopefully we get good news ? Now that's funny ! Are you on the right board ?
I submit that we take a moment on this Memorial day to thank the Americans that gave all so we can live and invest how we choose.
And who would advertise their product would suck without the help of BASF ?

existing TCO on your IT infrastructure. I call these the 3 "Cs" of IT disruption.
The first "C" is Containers
As I explained in detail recently about what Containers are and what the overall benefits to your organization can be for implementing them, this technology alone will vastly increase the density of your virtualization hosts on-premises and also at hyperscale cloud providers, be they public or private.
Special Feature
Cloud Computing: Moving to IaaS
Infrastructure as a Service providers make a very compelling argument for businesses to stop running their own data centers and simply purchase server capacity on-demand and scale up and down as needed. This is our deep dive on IaaS strategy and best practices
Read More
Here's the bottom line: an increase in workload density through the use of container technology means higher levels of efficiency as well as the ability for you to reduce internal infrastructure costs, as well as for a cloud provider to reduce their own internal infrastructure costs and then pass that savings down in the form of cheaper IaaS and PaaS offerings to you as a tenant/subscriber.
Given the greater economies of scale that hosters or hyperscale providers have over your own internal IT infrastructure, this means you are going to have to (yet again) adjust your calculus for what workloads still make sense for you to keep on-prem.
from ZDnet
While Containerization is primarily an Open Source and Linux-based technology today, we're not far off from it being a Windows and Microsoft-based technology as well, given current developments in Windows Server 2016 and ongoing developments at Azure.
So while this may not necessarily be a technology you are going to easily adopt within your own datacenter within in the next six months, it definitely should be on your roadmap within the next year or two.
At the bare minimum, you'll likely see the hyperscalers reduce their IaaS, PaaS and SaaS pricing first, which may give you enough incentive to lighten your own internal burden and also reconsider your ongoing software licensing strategy.
Great post Peter ! Thanks .
I switched from buying more shares to buying Nov call options at the low after the last earnings announcement . I believe the Nov. earnings will be a tipping point that will keep us in double digits. We'll see .
Then after that comes the Nov. 7.5s now @ .35 .
got some last week @ .70 . As always , I wish I had more . Most of my calls are Nov. 2.5 @ 1.20 . I believe Nov. options are the best timing . We'll see in Nov.
your late for the Ball on this one .

Sphere 3D and Microsoft " Technologies to Power the Next Cloud Events
Please join Sphere 3D and Microsoft for an exclusive event to discover the technologies that will drive the “Next Cloud” for your business Sphere 3D
You are invited to the Sphere 3D / Microsoft roadshow. The events will be held at Microsoft Technology Centers in Silicon Valley, New York, London and Toronto, and provide an overview of Sphere 3D’s technologies and solutions for the "Next Cloud" featuring Glassware 2.0 Windows container technology for application delivery and the latest in virtual storage technology.
Adoption of cloud-based deployment models continues to accelerate and so does the need for the evolution of the associated architectures and business models to ensure success. This means enabling new and innovative capabilities that support public, private, and hybrid deployments in the cloud.
At these events attendees will explore how new technologies are enabling organizations to easily virtualize and migrate legacy and Windows-based applications to the cloud. In addition, attendees will be able to participate in demonstrations of new container based technologies for virtualizing applications, regardless of their hardware or operating system platform dependencies, and get a glimpse at new virtual storage options for the enterprise.
