Expatriate,I believe the maintenance fee is $15.00 per seat but I could be wrong.
Hi mseanmcgee, you and ExPatriate57 seem to have a lot of knowledge in this space. We welcome both of you.
The DD on this thread, for the past many years, has been second to none. You are both examples of this.
The fact that you are both techies, I am curious how, and what brought you to Wave Systems and to this thread.
Both of your inputs are valued.
We know how ExPatriate values Wave, how about you?
Again, thanks for joining us, and any insight you can give us will be greatly appreciated, not that we will all understand it, but many will, and at least we will get the general feel of what you are saying, even if some of it is over our heads.
Thanks again
Very busy two weeks ahead for Wave Systems.
Starting tomorrow, November 1st-4th, the Lockheed Martin conference where Wave is presenting and 80% of the demonstrations will limited to Lockheed Martin employees ONLY.

It is my understanding that the Auto account is taking calls from prospective accounts.
Hey, stranger things have happened. Maybe we will have an "IPO" kind of day one day.
In 2000 I had a million dollar day. I expect to have that again, in the not to distant future. Now that will be a good return on my investment, no?
Maybe to catch the shorts off guard and reward the shareholders?
Regardless of PRs, if we are closing business it will show up in the financials or not.
It's nice to see some new faces posting, welcome.
My numbers of 30 million were told to me confidential, and there are now new investors posting numbers that were not in my original figures.
I feel very confidently that we are well over 30 million shares by our group.
player, very nice post. You and Telstarjohn tell the absolute truth. eom
Nonsense on your reply. Telstar is absolutely correct.
Members of this board, with their friends and family, own over 30 million shares. Not sure if it's up to 36 million, but it is over 30 million.
What's happening Monday? eom
glo, why don't you do some research? It was mentioned by SKS at a conference a month ago. I'm sure you can find it if you take the time to look.
Why would they issue a PR when the facts have already been stated on the auto deal?
Take a look at this. It's been 8 trading days in a row.

Microsoft wins key 'cloud' e-mail contracts
The software giant beats out rival Google to serve government workers in California, New York and Minnesota with remote data centers. Google has had a few successes of its own in the fight over a $20-billion market.
By David Sarno, Los Angeles Times
October 25, 2010|9:22 p.m.
Microsoft Corp. has won a series of high-profile contracts to provide e-mail services to government workers in three states, giving it a major boost in its ongoing battle with technology rival Google Inc.
The Redmond, Wash., software giant won contracts last week in California and New York that would cover hundreds of thousands of state and city employees. Two weeks earlier, Microsoft secured a similar deal with Minnesota.
The tech titans are fighting over an estimated $20-billion market to provide e-mail and office software to governments, businesses and consumers.

As services like word processing, spreadsheets and e-mail increasingly move to the Internet, both competitors are touting new "cloud"-based products, in which customers' e-mail and documents are stored in remote data centers, rather than on office computers. The cloud approach allows businesses to save money by jettisoning their own in-house e-mail servers.
The California contract will cover close to 200,000 state employees and was the subject of a hard fight between Google and Microsoft, with Google crying foul at what it called pro-Microsoft bias by state officials. Google opted not to submit an official bid.
In New York last week, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a tryout of Microsoft's cloud software by nearly one third of the 100,000 city employees.
The series of wins stood in stark contrast to October 2009, when Google dealt the first major body blow to its rival by winning a bid to run the Los Angeles city government e-mail system.
But Google is still struggling to move Los Angeles employees onto the system. Although the contract was approved a year ago, the company has moved slightly more than half of the city's 30,000 employees into the cloud, with no definite timeline for the remainder. Strict security requirements from the Los Angeles Police Department have prevented nearly all of the city's 16,000 law enforcement personnel from moving to Google's Gmail system.
Google has for years championed its cloud-based products, like Gmail and Google Docs, as cheaper, more secure alternatives to Microsoft's Outlook and Word programs, which generally must be installed on individual computers and updated frequently to address security issues.
But Microsoft, loath to allow a newcomer to encroach on its largest business, has invested heavily in building and marketing cloud services of its own.
"What Microsoft is not going to do is stand on the sidelines and watch all of its customers defect to Google," said Ted Schadler, an analyst at Forrester Research, a technology research firm. "They've really cranked up the engines, and they're going to get more and more wins over time."
Last week, the company also announced its upcoming Office 365 service, an online version of its popular Microsoft Office software. Prime-time television commercials advertising Microsoft products carried a new Microsoft slogan: "to the cloud."
"I'm really excited about the momentum — we've come a long way," said Gail Thomas-Flynn, Microsoft's vice president of state and local government, who added that Microsoft had won back some Google cloud customers who said they "were not getting the robust capabilities of an enterprise-level service."
For its part, Google counters that Microsoft's recent successes were essentially contract renewals, rather than victories in an open bidding process. Google has won several such bids recently, including providing e-mail for 10,000 state employees in Wyoming and a county government in Colorado.
"We're disappointed we didn't have an opportunity to compete for the business of Minnesota or New York City," Google spokesman Andrew Kovacs said. "When there is a competitive bid process — like Los Angeles, Colorado and Wyoming — the majority of customers choose Google."
Those who choose otherwise, he said, end up getting a better deal because of the bidding process.
Google has said that 3 million businesses now use its e-mail system, as well as 10 million university students, and that demand is still high.
Schadler, the Forrester Research analyst, said Microsoft's recent successes do not necessarily signal a loss of momentum for Google. "In the next four years, a lot of companies will be looking at running e-mail in the cloud," he said. "That means plenty of competition."
Still, Google's slow rollout in Los Angeles may not be helping its case. The company missed a deadline to complete the switchover earlier this year. When Google and city officials told City Council members that the switch would be finished by "the beginning of November," the council voted to allow the project to continue.
But on Monday a Google spokesman confirmed that only a fraction of LAPD personnel had moved to the new system for a test run. Because of additional city requirements, he said, "it's too early to tell definitively when the migration will be complete."

FIREGLOBAL: WEST COAST TO SHOWCASE GROUNDBREAKING DIGITAL SECURITY PROVIDER WAVE SYSTEMS CORP.
24 October 2010
The FiReGlobal : West Coast Conference is proud to announce that Wave Systems Corp. (NASDAQ:WAVX) has been selected as a FiReStar company. In addition to passing the challenges of similar competitions, FiReStar companies, both local and global, are chosen for their potential to bring large-scale positive change to the world. Eight of these companies will be showcased throughout the conference and at a special reception during FiReGlobal: West Coast, where local and global investors will be given the chance to meet company officers.
Wave Systems is a leading provider of client and server software for hardware-based digital security, enabling organizations to know who is connecting to their critical IT infrastructure, protect corporate data, and strengthen the boundaries of their networks. Wave’s core products are based around the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), the industry-standard hardware security chip that is included as standard equipment on most enterprise-class PCs shipping today.
“Cyber threats continue to escalate and, as an industry, we’ve long needed a new approach to secure the global IT infrastructure for businesses and consumers,” said Steven Sprague, CEO and President of Wave Systems. “The PC industry rose to this challenge and invested in hardware security, now standard on tens of millions of new computers. Wave Systems has been at the forefront of this approach, helping customers realize the benefits of turning on trusted computing hardware to secure the enterprise. Imagine a future where you log into your device and your device securely manages connections to all of your services. That future of trust can be realized today.”
The FiReGlobal: West Coast conference will take place November 11th at the Seattle Fairmont Olympic Hotel. This is the second annual regional version of the renowned Future in Review™ global technology conference, which the Economist calls “the best technology conference in the world.” FiReGlobal : West Coast will showcase a world-class gathering of local and global thought leaders in technology and economics through a series of interviews and onstage conversations. The conference will feature Oracle President Mark Hurd, who will take the stage as a Conversation Interview in his first outside speaking engagement since joining Oracle. In a move beyond other tech conferences, FiReGlobal : West Coast has overlaid regional problems nominated by local leaders, to be solved through the collaboration of local Chief Technology Officers prior to the conference.
“Wave Systems is going to show Conference attendees something they thought was impossible, in today’s increasingly dangerous world: hack-proof security down to the device. Anyone interested in moving their enterprise into this world should make a point of attending and meeting their team,” said Mark Anderson, CEO of SNS, Chair of FiRe and FiReGlobal: West Coast.
Never said they were coming. Hoped that they were coming, but never promised by anyone.
Still think there is a good chance some will be coming before year end. We'll see.
Doma, please share a link where SKS promised the 3-4 deals in the
"next 45 days" some 120 days ago plus the 5-10 deals by years end......

Intermediate update day 2 NSA Conference
TCG in Action at the NSA Trusted Computing Conference and Exposition, Orlando, FL: Day 2by TCG in Action
Why do we need a hardware-based root of trust? Neal Ziring, Director, Information Assurance Directorate, NSA made it quite clear in his presentation. "There is no such thing as software that isn't vulnerable," he said.
Information in the cloud brings even further challenges. "We need to be able to repose trust," said Ziring. That is far from the extent of where NSA experts want to go. He noted that control systems and SCADA is a hot topic in the government these days and it is an area that is ripe for improvement. A subsequent session dealt specifically with TCG's TNC and the recent extension of IF-MAP 2.0.
In his concluding remarks Ziring noted, "The security landscape is changing and we are moving into an era where real-time dynamic defense is going to become much more important and we need to see how trusted computing technologies can aid that."
Virtualization was the first area discussed by an industry supplier. Dr. Ian Pratt, Vice-President, Advanced Products, Citrix Systems, Inc. explained the role that hardware plays in virtualization and hypervisors to enhance security. "It enables us to take advantage of all the hardware features to assist virtualization which is built into the platform over the last few years by the CPU vendors/chipset vendors." he said.
Citrix has worked with CPU manufacturers since about 2001 discussing features that it would like to see in the CPU to simplify its software. "We can also make use of the Trusted Platform Module and Intel TXT execution technology. It enables us to build a bridge of trust on our hypervisor," said Pratt.
Bill Ross, director, Cyber Mission Assurance Systems (CMAS), Information Assurance Division, General Dynamics C4 Systems gave a case study approach to his company's recent efforts involving security. He noted in his presentation the importance of TCG in the standards. "The fundamental premise or underpinnings of the High Assurance Platform is the Trusted Computing Group," he said.
Within the last four years significant progress has occurred. "Trusted Computing Group is getting more and more mass, and getting more and more relevance," said Ross. "As cyber security takes root, you are going to see more and more major enterprises start to adopt some of the principles of the Trusted Computing Group."

The future? I think we will more than double again from December 2010 to December 2011. That's good enough for me to stay invested.
Check out this guy's track record and see what he is saying about Wave Systems.

It's amazing to me that the others have all surfaced at one time this morning.
We closed at $1.42 at the end of 2009. Right now we are almost 100% up from last year and will probably be more than 100% by year end. Am I missing something? Are the investors that bid up the stock almost 100% since last year stupid or bad investors?
Do you think they made any money in the past 10 months? LOL
You said: I'd much rather invest my money into a company that will make me money NOW
Then please tell me why you are taking up space on this thread. Are you still trying to save us all?
Nice trend since the close on September 10th.

A must read for everyone.
It looks like the education of the TPMs are getting known.
Great post. Thanks
I thought I remember SKS answering a question at one of the CCs that said Wave would not have to do another PP just to keep the doors open. A PP would only be done because of a purchase Wave wanted to make, or the need to hire a lot of people on short notice due to a big job that was undertaken, but I could be wrong.
My friend says he is very accurate. He's been right for the past two weeks so far.
Grade "A" for a couple of weeks now. Strong Buy.
A friend of mine, who turned me on to this site, has been following him for over 17 years now, and says he is pretty accurate.

Right. I'll say this for you, you are good at what you do, as in this post. Ha Ha
Could it be the shorts are getting antsy, and are trying to grab shares when ever they can with out moving the price to high?
Look at the trades right now. All 100 share trades just about. Wait until the volume really picks up, then we will see if they panic or not.

Wave Systems recently announced that id.wave.com, its identity service that enables strongly authenticated single sign-on to web services and applications in the cloud, has been certified by the Open Identity Exchange (OIX), the first "trust framework" provider authorized by the US government. A trust framework provides a new way for one site to delegate the identity, security and privacy assurances to another site, thus simplifying a user's interaction with multiple web services.
With the certification of id.wave.com to the US Identity, Credential and Access Management (ICAM) specifications, Wave joins Google, PayPal, Equifax, Verizon and others as the first commercial identity providers authorized to provide login access to websites affiliated with the government such as the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the Library of Congress (LOC).
"As the first 'trust framework' provider for OpenID and Information Cards, OIX is providing a very important service for government agencies and users, and we're pleased by their decision to certify id.wave.com as one of only a handful of trusted identity providers," said Steven Sprague, CEO and President of Wave. "The cellular and cable industries realized more than a decade ago that secure device identity improves security and the user experience. With an installed base of 350 million TPM-equipped PCs, and the proliferation of sites that support OpenID and SAML, id.wave.com offers ease-of-use to users and peace of mind to the CIO."

Fight Cyber War Before Planes Fall Out Of the Sky
GRAEME WILSON, Deputy Political Editor
BRITAIN must defend itself against cyber warfare before planes start "falling out of the sky," security chiefs warned yesterday.
Terrorism and crippling attacks on computer networks are two of the biggest threats facing the UK, according to the Government's National Security Strategy.
PM David Cameron paved the way for major cuts in our conventional armed forces - with warships, fighter jets and troops all set to be axed this week - by focusing on ways to combat new dangers.
The Sun revealed yesterday that the Government is to boost the intelligence services' budget by £1billion so they can tackle cyber terrorism.
Tier 1 ... Al Qaeda and dissident Irish Republicans
The security strategy unveiled yesterday spells out the 15 biggest threats to the UK, covering everything from disease pandemics to a surge in illegal immigration.
A devastating attack on computer networks is classed as a "Tier One" threat - the highest ranking.
Cyber warfare is already being carried out by governments - including China's - as well as by terror groups. And there are fears that crucial systems such as air traffic control could be targeted.
One senior security official said: "We do not want to wait until planes start falling out of the skies before we address it."
Cyber attacks could also spark chaos by crashing computers in banks, hospitals and transport networks.
But terrorism remains the biggest immediate threat, and there are particular fears of lone terrorists hitting "soft targets" such as shopping centres and hotels.
Tier 2 ... nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological attack
The strategy document warns of a serious risk of "high impact" attacks by both Islamic and dissident Irish terrorists.
The 38-page report - entitled A Strong Britain In An Age Of Uncertainty - points to a sharp rise in attacks in Northern Ireland, with 37 so far this year compared with 22 during the whole of 2009.
Security chiefs believe the Irish groups now also have the ability to launch deadly bomb attacks on the mainland.
They also voiced concern that al-Qaeda is starting to use lone bombers for smaller-scale attacks against "softer targets".
And there is a threat from a large number of Islamic terrorists due to be freed from British jails in the next few years.
Other Tier One threats include a major accident and "natural hazards" such as a flu pandemic. An international military crisis that drags in the UK is also given the highest rating.
Tier 3 ... attack on Nato, EU ally or on overseas territory
But a nuclear, chemical or biological attack on the UK is only classed as a Tier Two threat.
Although such an onslaught would have devastating consequences, the Government believes it is unlikely to happen - making it a less serious threat than cyber attacks or terrorism.
Tier Three threats include a serious disruption to food and fuel supplies, a surge in illegal immigration and an invasion of the Falkland Islands.
In a joint foreword, Mr Cameron and Deputy PM Nick Clegg said: "We are entering an age of uncertainty.
"This strategy is about weighing up the threats we face and preparing to deal with them.
"As a government, we have inherited a defence and security structure that is woefully unsuitable for the world we live in today. We are determined to learn from those mistakes and make the changes needed."

I think last month was the tipping point, and when things really start to move, they are going to move very fast.
In 2000 I had a million dollar day. There is no doubt in my mind, that I will have another million dollar day sometime in the next 14 months.
wavxmaster, looks like a full plate of presentations. I am sure they are not doing these presentations for their health.
Looks good.
You could be wrong. Wave is not in charge of releasing PRs on customer's security decisions, that is up to the account.
For all we know, Wave has opened 5 new deals already. Remember, the big three automaker has never been announce, as of this date,, and they bought the package 10 months ago.
The way we will see if deals were made or not, is through the quarterly revenues. That will tell us about deals made, but not announced.
I wonder if today's announcement is a prelude to something tomorrow.
Boy, we are sure due.
