so what's the gig Matt? why did i get thrown in the clink?
IH-Admin-Matt, i'll circumvent you dizzy buddy ...
yeah hifi, as your signature says, be wary of those who "know" -- i suggest those who do this day in and day out actually know it's not worth being in wavx right now ...
2.77% of wavx shares are held INSTITUTIONALLY. ya think they're, collectively, aware of anything?
http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/Holdings.asp?mode=&kind=&symbol=AREM&symbol=PSUN&symbol=HO...
orda, truth be told, ask snackman which june is ours.
sorry, but there's clearly nothing much [relevant to wavx pricing] to discuss ...
enjoying the zero-visibility windstorm as usual
wavx = 2-bit quixotic dancer for the time being
guess again barge; aim your dowser stick at that which gratifies, 'cause wavx is nuthin' but a 2-bit quixotic dancer!!
Horseman, my Ukranain lady friend (28 y.o.) thought the UkraineTV/'Xpress thing was lame, only to the extent that she much more enjoys U.S. TV (as do all hear Ukranian friends).
the UkraineTV/'Xpress is apparently very niche market and likely not as popular with the younger, computer savvy folks, and hence revenue contributers.
nontheless, thanks for your research -- did your contact comment on relevant info regarding suscriber uptake?
what Nelzoni=#'s you talkin' about?
trustco, what do you think?...
operative point: fall '04 at best, presuming intel mobos are moving well, such that market demand is solidified,
AND intel thusly promotes Wave as an integral componant,
AND intel/Wave reveal particulars of the licensing agreement,
AND TCG, RAND details are revealed,
AND something 'Xpress related breaks,
AND Wave doesn't run out of money ....
whatever. 1/04 to 9/04 presents a wide window of opportunity
yeah zen, opportunity lost ... timing is everything and, if nothing else, WAVX has taught me to about how to better play trading-market emotions.
good luck.
p.s. WAVX will likely not break out over 5 again until fall '04
rah, rah, rah barge -- y'all indeed were/are prescient in how the industry would/will evolve in the direction of pervasive trusted client devices.
well, Wave's "successes" to date have provided no evidence or demonstration of how the market values it's "solutions" ... no contract details, no licensing agreement particulars etc. etc. ... why? simply because no one -- including Intel, HP or IBM (i.e., most recent slew of "testers") -- has commited to adopting Wave's tech full scale. the "test" continues.
glad there's other "plays", in addion to wavx, from which to reap near term profits.
Amp, 'course many others tanked but, how many with "wavoid" so proud to go down with the ship -- a ship of fools indeed -- merely 'cause of the optimism factor.
"unshakeable optimistic DD"? sammy, i have all the same opitimism -- however, the most important thing wavx has taught me is, OPTIMISM DOES NOT GENERATE REVENUE, and an investor that merely follows the optimism wallows in a limbo of missed investment opportunity due to the park [your capital in wavx] and wait, while the barges chant and cheer.
sam, you ever wonder how much money was made by others -- simply taken as profit -- at the expense of silly "wavoids" that happily and optimistically marched off the cliff from $45-50/sh back to $1?!
pure nonsense.
barge, your wet-dreams are amazing: "CAN YOU SPELL W-A-V-E!!!" -- where do you get off so strongly implying that HP is unequivocally trumpeting Wave's "solution"?...
surely, Carly's comments allude to the TCG solution, within which Wave's solution is apparently integral .... HOWEVER, until there's clear definition of how Wave's patents are relatively valued in the RAND licensing layout, it ain't over 'til it's over.
if Wave is as pivotal as we'd all like to believe, why have the institutions not stepped up to the plate?! because they know there's plenty of time [until Wave's worth is potentially realized] and capital is better invested in demonstrably successful companies until that time when Wave's potential success may be relaized.
barge, you're a unscrupulous cheerleader, who likes to hear his/herself cheer
sammy, it's out there -- everywhere
guv, ain't nuthin. just progression/expiration of promotions... kinda sucks that intel wasn't advised of a dead end on it's website, however.
building, acquiring or licensing the best content protection technologies for HP devices that will set secure copyrights without sacrificing great consumer experiences - and will strive to build every one of its consumer devices to respect digital rights.
so .... ya' think "its consumer devices" will be marketed outside the U.S.?.... aimed at global marketshare to rival sony, philips et al. (lest we forget intertrust's role).
and ya' think "content protection technologies for HP devices that will set secure copyrights" will need to comply with disparate global laws/regulations?....
viola?! pa' think versecure may come in handy?.... doesn't wave have "exclusive right" to versecure, or am i mistaken.
whatever. if wave is marginalized at this point -- i.e., not capturing huge licensing revenue -- it'll be for fault of nothing less than pathetic management. that said, i give pjs/sks an 85/15, total-success/less-than-total chance in their favor.
here's to a '04 near-term payoff and wavx at $50+ next year

...like a bunch of old women
oohhhh johnny boy?... who will you be callin' on w/your new TPM?
MIG, only disfunction is WAVX -- all skirmishes here are just spats bewteen those who are bored
No one knows Wave?? au contraire Wildman: many have lost interest and have moved on to greener pastures UNTIL [IF] wave EVER makes good on it'S PROMISES
2b, NOT. rambus is embroiled in legal dispute over the validity of its patents, in light of its role in an industry-standards-setting group.
rambus IP & tech is proven, adopted and monetized.
wave's tech, to date, has been ONLY proven
hey trust, no kiddin' -- i'd only hope SKS would not be so "open" to non-essential discussion, especially under the [SEC] circumstances.
"no-doubt-there-will-[be]-more-clarity-after-Feb-IDF?!!!Wildman, you disappoint -- clarity, relative to wave, is ever elusive, and "no doubt" is a ludicrous assertion
y'all have too much time on your hands to talk about that which you you do not know.
smoked, you're right on!! SKS et al. are apparently not savvy in the sense of engaging meticulous legal guidance -- imo, they tend to play too fast and loose with commentary w/o considering implications ... geeks do such things, i know.
sorry 'but annoying you zen... have a great weekend
in fact, snack, you didn't sell [your wife did]
you sold at $40, snack?

IBM-to-Unveil-BNP-Contract-up-to-$1.24-Billion
By KEVIN J. DELANEY
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
PARIS -- International Business Machines Corp. plans to announce Friday a deal to provide technology services to French bank BNP Paribas SA valued at up to €1 billion ($1.24 billion) in revenue to IBM over an unspecified number of years.
Under the BNP Paribas agreement, IBM and the French bank will create a 450-person joint venture to operate BNP Paribas's technology infrastructure. The venture will shift BNP Paribas' technology toward an on-demand model, where the company receives and pays for mainframe computing power and other technology based on how much it actually uses.

As Rupert Murdoch prepares to take control of satellite-television provider DirecTV, he is dwelling on details intended to change the way Americans watch TV.
For starters, if the News Corp. chairman has his way, viewers using DirecTV technology will soon be able to vote for their favorite contestant on his Fox Network's "American Idol." They will be able to select the camera angles they want to use on replays on the "Sunday Ticket," DirecTV's already popular smorgasbord of National Football League subscription games. And they will be able to navigate it all -- from surfing the news to peeking at 30-second previews of coming shows -- with the help of a souped-up on-screen programming guide. Only one or two clicks of the remote will be required for such features, using multiple screens and viewer-friendly pop-up commands.
"Rupert has lots of interests, but right now he seems really focused on the intricacies of DirecTV," says Chase Carey, Mr. Murdoch's point man on the deal, who has received a barrage of calls from the boss delving into such nitty-gritty issues.
And why not? News Corp. believes viewers will pay a premium for such features and be less likely to switch services if someone else offers a lower price. If such is the case, the company should find out soon enough. After struggling for two decades to enter the U.S. satellite-television business, federal regulators are as early as Friday expected to approve News Corp.'s acquisition of a 34% stake in General Motors Corp.'s Hughes Electronics, giving 72-year-old Mr. Murdoch control of DirecTV.
Mr. Murdoch is intent on revving up growth at DirecTV, which is already the nation's top satellite-to-home broadcaster. To do that, the service needs to find new ways of adding subscribers at a time when satellite-TV growth has slowed. Hence the search for new gimmicks that will persuade customers to spend more money each month for TV programming -- and prevent them from switching to rivals. DirecTV, for instance, has been struggling with turnover of 20% or more during the past few years.
Tackling both problems at once, Mr. Murdoch plans to engage in lowball pricing. News Corp.'s pitch will include a new ad campaign aggressively promoting DirecTV's sports programming and touting how easily viewers can enjoy the soon-to-be introduced extra features.
Perhaps more important, though, is the effort to use innovative software and a new generation of heavily subsidized consumer equipment -- already successfully road-tested on News Corp.'s BskyB satellite-broadcasting affiliate in Britain.
Mr. Murdoch declines to discuss his plans for Hughes, citing the regulatory review by the Federal Communications Commission. His top lieutenants likewise have refrained from going public with details. In discussions with industry officials and filings with the FCC, however, News Corp. has sketched out a road map that has put the competition squarely on the defensive.
In recent months, DirecTV's biggest satellite and cable competitors, EchoStar Communications Corp. and Comcast Corp., have launched sales promotions of digital video recorders to beat News Corp. to the punch. Such set-top boxes, which are at the center of News Corp's global strategy, are akin to computer hard drives. They offer viewers the ability to capture, store and decide how to play back hundreds of hours of movies, sports and other programs -- when and how they want to see them. Rivals have also used Mr. Murdoch's impending entry on the satellite scene to drive tougher deals with programmers, arguing that with another big competitor on the scene there is no way they will be able to pass on the costs to consumers.
