"Broaden their core patent" ??
That could be a misleading statement , JP.
Can NeoMedia/Barkume really do that?
From another board:
"Amongst the procedural limitations on the patent owner, one merits particular consideration. That is, during a reexam, the patent owner must either maintain or limit the claims. Claims may not be broadened in any way, and new claims cannot cover anything new. Thus, reexam claims cannot cover anything that wasn’t already covered by the original claims"

Where does your 'broaden' thing come from?
TIA
jonesie
Might as well ...
... cuz I've never actually owned a stock that had a PPS with three zeroes after the decimal point. This could be a first.
It's certainly easy to tell how excited the market is about the recent trial(s?), alliances, strategic partnerships, potential patent situation, Iain's overwhelming CC presence and the CTIA white paper. $0.003.
Y'all have a good one.
jonesie
And here's the hook ...
... as the author points out in closing:
"The trick may be to provide an added value to the customer who takes the time to scan. That added value could be a discount, a free gift with purchase, or something else of a compelling nature to the potential customer. That could make barcode scanning the coupon clipping of the 21st century...and that might actually work. Scan to save. We would do it. Would you?"
They will have to use that hook , and that could well get people searching out 2D barcodes to click on.

"wonder who" ....
.... is going to turn out the lights?
Seems to be about 12 of 'us' left on any given day.
Where are the other 340 people who have this board bookmarked?
Long gone and forgot about NEOM? Forgot about IHUB?
Are we the dumb ones? LOL
jonesie
If people would just stop selling ....
LOL
Doggone penny flippers and YAGI.
I suppose the fact that we're not back at .002 or worse , at .0009 , indicates that not everybody is selling.

More on the Alexa numbers ... (edited)
... with apologies if this has been discussed already.
Scanlife: 3 mos. Avg. Traffic Rank 524,226 which is Alexa traffic rank based on a combined measure of page views and users
Scanlife has Page Views per user 3 mos. Avg. of 3.
I think that might mean a 3 month average of 524,226/3 = 170,000 unique visitors or so?
Neoreader's numbers would give 697,612/5.3 = 130,000 unique visitors or so.
Edited to add: If 11% of the scanlife visitors get to the download app page , that means over 17,000 people got there.
If 1% of the neoreader visitors get to the download app page , that means about 1300 people got there.
Again , just my interpretation of the data , hopefully this Alexa stuff isn't all that accurate but if it's at least a rough gauge of activity , it's good to understand what all of the available data is telling us.
jonesieHopingIainDoesn'tWaitUntilYearEndToGiveUsSomeMoreNews
Bleedingedge , also ....
As I understand it , and I could certainly be wrong:
Traffic ranking is the number of pages viewed on the site paired with the number of viewers going to same site. A good number to look at is at the very bottom of the page where it shows the number of views on the get application page of the site.
Neoreader -- 1 percent get to the getneoreader page of the site
Scanlife -- 11 percent get to the download the application page
Where people go on Scanlife.com:
Scanlife.com - 89%
App.scanlife.com - 11%
2481scanl44i35fe.4716com - 89%
App35.scanl8428ife.com - 11%
Where people go on Neoreader.com:
Neoreader.com - 99%
Get.neoreader.com - 1%
Again , that's just if I'm reading and understanding everything correctly at the link diamondtech gave.

"A" Regis , final answer
Sorry for any confusion and incorrect usage of the plural 'patents'.
jonesie
I hope you do well here.
If you do , a lot of other people do too!
The patents will hold or not hold according to their merits , regardless of the 'intentions' of the patent owners.
Check out that YA board in my signature ... look at the Table A in the iBox ... look over at the far right 'column of red' and that will give you an idea of how many companies YA has 'strengthened'.
Just FYI
good luck to you!
jonesie
You're right , there is a fair amount ....
.... to discuss from time to time regarding both the pros and cons of NeoMedia as a company , about its management as being capable and shareholder-friendly or not , about its toxic death spiral financing by YAGI as being surmountable or not , about its patents as valid or not , and about NEOM as a good investment or not.
Which I would think is proper for a discussion forum.
As to "all" believing lol , I think it's safe to assume that there are non-believers , believers , and a fair number of folks who don't believe but stay in hoping for a miracle to allow for recouping of part of their investment.
Congrats on not getting in until the last couple of months , if there's any upside to be had you might be in at or near the bottom , and if there's not any upside to be had , well , there's lots of ways this can turn out badly. Wait , it has already turned out badly , I guess there's lots of ways it can get worse.

Exactly , phoenix ...

He was trying to buy time and keep this salary-paying share-printing machine pumping as long as possible?

TVDirector , the Scanbuy/Samsung deal says ...
... something else as well.
It says Iain has no clue what he's talking about.
In his GoMoNews-aired complaint about the CTIA White Paper , Iain just the other day said:
"As there will be no embedded handsets for at least a year, and the reader will only be available by download"
http://www.gomonews.com/neomedia-commentary-on-ctia-code-scan-action-team-white-paper/
Oops , Iain. Does being preloaded on handsets at least roughly approximate being embedded? Uh , yeah , I think maybe so , it certainly negates the need to download.
Way to go Iain , only off by a year. Let's hear a prediction about when we'll go cash flow positive , like the one a former CEO gave us LOL.
jonesie
p.s. I listened to parts of the CC again from the link on NEOM's site ... is that the worst recording anyone has ever heard? I don't mean what was said , although that was about the most mealy mouthed mumbo-jumbo I ever heard in a CC , I mean the quality of the recording.

BREACHER, I don't know what Virgin thought...
Do we know how much Virgin actually 'settled' for? How much money? Where does it show up in the revenues in the quarterly and annual SEC filings? Was it simply easier for Virgin to say 'okay, we'll license, especially since you say we can have it for virtually free and you can tell everybody we settled and that will make you look good'?
How many years ago was that? Anybody 'settling' or licensing since then? About the only settling I've seen is the settlement of all the pay and exit packages lol.
Ninja200, maybe you're right, maybe a rising tide will lift all boats. It would feel better if we didn't have that multi-billion-share Yorkville anchor tied to us with a very short chain. We may drown in the rising tide.
jonesieReachingForTheHacksawToCutTheChain
Of course I think that.
Ergo that part of my post. Nobody is worried , and they are NOT worried for GOOD reason. Samsung would certainly be informed of NeoMedia's 'claims' and would have looked into them very well IMO.
jonesie
It says that if Scanbuy was a ... (edited)
... public company , their stock price would be rocketing. Perhaps not sustainably , but all would be happy.
Just like we'd by pretty doggone happy if it was us.
But it never is.
edited to add: It might also be saying that nobody , but nobody , is at all worried about NeoMedia's patents. If they were , all of these alleged 'transgressors' would sit back and wait to see how things shaped up and then make their moves.
Thanks Iain. Thanks Chip. Thanks Chas. Thanks Chuck.
Oh , and thank you too JJ , for doing such an outstanding job of Board of Directing , whatever that means in your world.
I guess all Scanbuy needed was the CTIA endorsement ...
(for anyone who doesn't understand, THAT was an endorsement)
... for a major cellphone manufacturer to jump on board the Scanbuy wagon.
Good job Iain. Another win for the competition while you have non-conference-call conference calls.
Samsung Camera Phones to be Pre-Loaded with Scanbuy’s 2D Barcode Application
ScanLife Initially Available in European Countries
New York – September 24, 2008 – Scanbuy, a global leader in mobile marketing solutions, today announced that it has secured a global agreement with Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. to preload the ScanLife mobile 2D barcode application on Samsung’s camera phones. Samsung will begin selling these phones in Spain, Italy, and Denmark starting as early as next month. Availability will quickly expand to other major markets including Mexico and the United States.
ScanLife technology uses camera phones to connect the physical world to the digital world. The application reads EZcodes and other major 2D barcode formats designed to quickly recognize and process information. Marketers and content providers use the ScanLife Code Management Platform (www.scanlife.com) to extend brand engagement onto mobile devices, while end users scan EZcodes to get information quickly and easily. The ScanLife solution gives consumers and code publishers both national and international interoperability for the use of 2D codes.
Samsung is the second largest phone manufacturer in the world, and is expected to sell over 200 million handsets in 2008. Samsung’s extensive line of popular phones includes the Blackjack, Glyde, and the recently released Instinct.

As part of the global agreement, Samsung will pre-load camera phones with the ScanLife application for each new country rolling-out Scanbuy’s complete solution. Samsung will also be using EZcodes to promote and market their extensive portfolio of consumer related electronics.
“This agreement with a global leader in phone design and manufacturing is a watershed moment for the 2D barcode market. It underscores the widespread demand throughout the mobile ecosystem for improving information discovery and access on every device,” said Jonathan Bulkeley, Chief Executive Officer of Scanbuy. “Scanbuy is wholly committed to working with all organizations including carriers, manufacturers, and content creators to ensure 2D barcodes reach their full potential in enabling the mobile phase of the digital information age.”

The last thing they said was in February and echoed what Chip said late last year or early this year ... that they 'led an initiative'.
What a powerhouse consortium. I think all those companies merely joined so they could keep tabs on things, just like lots of us join various industry-related groups.
geez

MAI eh? Mobile Access and Interaction
What happened to Chip's OMS and OMI?
I guess their acronyms are better than our acronyms.
"The long-term vision of NeoMedia Technologies is to create, in collaboration with recognized leaders in telecommunication infrastructure management, a worldwide infrastructure for the processing of optically initiated transactions -- called the Optical Messaging Interchange."
C'mon Iain , you were hired to pump and/or sell the company. Do one or the other!

New CFO , wow , the fact that ....
.... there is a new CFO was posted here on 9/14 , 3 days before the effective date of his hire. Amazing.
Apparently Michael Zima is a Mover & Shaker, as he is no small-time executive when you look closely. It looks like IM is personally hand picking top notch cream of the crop recruits to take NeoMedia's PWC technology to the next level. Another nice move by Iain ...
Wait, that sounds familiar ;)
One thing which needs immediate repair and long lasting support is NeoMedia's financials. I'd expect the financials are the primary reason why IM brought in a heavy weight such as Michael Zima.
That sounds familiar too ;)
One can only hope NeoMedia is paying him $33,000 per month like they did Frank Pazera so that we can really get something done now. You get what you pay for. Wait ....
If NeoMedia is serious about back end server usage, engineering support, sales and obtaining carrier endorsements, then IM will need to unequivocally convince the PWC players that NeoMedia's gas tank is full, as opposed to being stuck on chronic empty. They need to bring in a deep pocketed financial "Hammer" and give this company a financial 'wrap around' sooner rather than later. I believe IM has his finger(prints) squarely on the pulse. Evidently IM felt that it was time to bring in a new 'gun' to get their financials in order.
I swear I've heard this somewhere before ;)
Filling that gas tank is what I expect IM is feverishly working on while Mr. Zima will be looking at all financial angles including those which involve taking Cornell out and bringing in a new heavyweight to take all this to the next level. Meanwhile Marc Lefar is still be ramping up marketing strategies for the NeoReader. And those other heavy-hitters on the Advisory Board. Is there still an advisory board?
Building a strong mobile presence doesn’t have to take hard work. Just the right CFO.
LOL
jonesie
It's happened several times before.
Just noting the new arrival and that he has no shares at the current time.
I suppose we'll know if he buys any in the future.
Usually that means ...
... the quantity on that bid at .004 wasn't sufficient to cover the quantity a seller decided to sell at that moment. The seller had to accept a lower price to make the trade.
It happens all the time, in all stocks.

One of these days I'll look at the breakdown by well and get the Board Info (iBox) section updated accordingly ... sooner or later lol , been busy with other things.
How does TIV trade half a million shares today ...
... and only move up 4 cents?
If NSS positions are covering , someone is sure taking advantage of these prices in the $8's to sell.
Nearly a million shares traded this week , at least that got us up from $6.55 to $8.10
With a typical week's volume being 200K-300K I'm surprised 1MM shares didn't push us much higher.
Why is a stock's volume today ...
.... showing what is really the entire week's volume?
http://ih.advfn.com/p.php?pid=squote&symbol=TIV
For some reason that IHUB 'Trades Screen' ....
.... is including some or all of yesterday's volume/trades. Just a glitch. Your Schwab account number are correct.
jonesie
Early trades , including the 150K block
(Yep Geo , certainly the volume is being sustained , I wonder , as I wondered yesterday , if some shorts aren't having to get out of the way per the SEC's hardened stance on NSS? TIV is not included in the 799 'financial stocks' for which short selling is completely halted at the moment , but those NSS rules should certainly apply to TIV? Someone said the other day that the new rules/stance only applied to NEW shorting , surely that couldn't be true.)
Good point rwandrw ....
.... I put qode on my phone and subscribed to an unlimited data plan because I was told I shouldn't be 'objectively negative' about NeoMedia execs' actions or the immediate prospects in the space if I didn't even have qode on my phone. Then I put NeoReader on my phone. Even though AT&T has certain camera permissions blocked on many of their phones (including mine) and I couldn't actually scan a code with my phone ... I soon came to realize there was just not enough out there to click on to worry about.
So , as much as I would have liked to 'wow' some friends and be a 2D barcode evangelist out there ... we are as you say a long ways out. I recently dumped my data plan and every now and then if I really need to access the internet from my phone on the odd occasion , I just do it and pay a few dimes for having done so.

From quotemedia ... not sure what the '6' designation is; the 'f' is for 'intermarket sweep'. Checking other sources confirms those were not after hours trades , just trades which posted a bit late.
If Iain gets happy ...
.... I'll get very guardedly less cynical.
When someone , anyone meaningful , signs anything meaningful with us , things might get better. For NeoMedia , for YAGI , and maybe ... maybe ... for us.
Meanwhile talk of "signing licensing agreements with CTIA, all 5 US carriers" etc etc makes me want to barf after hearing about all the other stuff we have been going to sign and who has been going to invest in NeoMedia , blah blah.
NeoMedia is the Rodney Dangerfield of the mobile ad. space ... it gets no respect ... and Rodney has more money.
JMO and outta here

Here's an idea ...
.... suggest that to Iain.
Think he would send it? Would YA want him to? Would they want him to right now , or after they've killed us off and YA owns the whole enchilada?
That's where our hope apparently lies ...
... that our patent(s?) hold up.
I just don't get it. All of the trade shows , all of the forums , all of the CTIA shows , all of the working day and night and putting in the airmiles , the hiring at breakneck speed , all of the seizing of GSMA/OMA/MC2 (lol) and NeoMedia can't even manage to keep from getting shut out in the CTIA's White Paper on the subject?
That'll teach us ... once again ... not to believe talk and spin by NeoMedia and their numerous cohorts without results. All we have seen so far is yakkity yak yak , bloggidy blog blog , it always sounds very nice and "hopeful" but at nearly every turn it all wafts away with the breezes and once again we are reminded that this NEOMachine runs solely to enrich a few revolving-door execs to levels commensurate with their individual degree of willingness to enable/assist Yorkville to suck out every dollar and percentage of ownership for themselves .... and the heck with the shareholders.
Oh , except Iain feels our pain LOL.
Who here posited that YA intentionally 'makes strategic mistakes' in their orders to the CEO du jour and their hirings/firings so that nothing comes out well , no continuity exists , no credibility in the space exists , the share price stays as low as possible and dives occasionally for YA's subsequent conversions benefit , so that YA can gain maximum ownership and one day if the NEOMachine is deemed to be worth anything on the auction block YA will get 99.9% if not 100% of the proceeds?
I think that person was absolutely right.
We better hope for some irrational exuberance lol.

I'm glad you see it as a positive Streetz ....
.... but I'm more inclined to be concerned about Iain not liking it at all. If he thinks it's a bad thing , why should we think it's a good thing?
Of course , we could assume that NeoMedia management has it all backwards again ... in the past they tried to tell us about good things which ultimately all went bad. Perhaps Iain thinking that the CTIA White Paper is bad for NeoMedia is actually backwards thinking? Is that what we're dealing with? Has he got it wrong?
Iain's words:
Unfortunately
can’t be allowed to happen
It is unbelievable
This locks up the market on the reader side for (Scanbuy)
only Scanbuy can provide the reader
they (Scanbuy) alone will be able to run campaigns in the US
This is hardly open to multiple players, interoperable or competitive
Now , wait for it ... wait ... wait ... this straight from a 'we want , we need , we hope' line of thinking:
I genuinely hope
Yeah , at least we and Iain are in the same boat. We've only got hope going for us , and it sounds like that's all he has going for him too.
Well , hope and his exorbitant salary , $1MM to $5MM commission potential , possible exit package , etc etc lol.
jonesie
Like I said , we know exactly ....
.... what CH's fingerprints were on LOL ... the company safe. Salary , perks , bonuses , exit package ... for what?
CTIA seems to have made Iain unhappy , so what CTIA is doing can't be good for NeoMedia.
jonesie
Well , at $8 & change ....
.... we're back to where we were 2 days after the overexuberant runup pre-Russell in June of this year , and back to where we were last December , and back to where we were last October (AGM time).
It will sure be nice if TIV can get back to where it was in May of '07 ($9+) or even where it was in December of '06 ($10+).
I've heard of patience being a virtue but this has been ridiculous LOL.
Meanwhile May showed 9000+ bbls from PV which TIV didn't have before , and June showed 17,000+ bbls from PV which TIV didn't have before. Can't wait to see July.

Tri-Valley Subsidiary Readies Two Big Gold Projects for Next Stage Exploration
Thursday September 18, 4:36 pm ET
BAKERSFIELD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
TRI-VALLEY SUBSIDIARY READIES TWO BIG GOLD PROJECTS FOR NEXT STAGE EXPLORATION
Tri-Valley Corporation (AMEX:TIV) announced that its subsidiary, Select Resources Corporation, is moving ahead to prove up two Alaska gold properties. Select is working to arrange drilling two areas estimated to contain potential multi-million ounce targets. Both properties, Shorty and Richardson, are accessible via all-year highways within 70 miles of Fairbanks.
The 16 square mile Shorty Creek property about 70 miles North of Fairbanks is just four miles off of the paved Elliott highway in the Tolovana-Livengood Mining District. It has been described as perhaps Alaska’s best undrilled exploration prospect. An auger geochemical survey by Select over one of four aeromagnetic anomalies outlined a distinct coincident multi-element anomaly characteristic of intrusive related systems containing gold, copper, bismuth, arsenic, antimony, tungsten and uranium. Another gold anomaly is also rich in molybdenum.
“We are enthused about this property which has much higher geochem results than the neighboring property on which International Tower Hill has delineated over 3 million ounces. Both Tower Hill’s and Select’s properties straddle the Livengood placer district whose production approached 500,000 ounces of gold. The Shorty Creek prospect is now ready for the drill bit,” said James G. Bush, Select president of Select Resources.
Some 65 miles south of Fairbanks is Select’s 40 square mile gold exploration prospect in the Richardson Mining District. Field reconnaissance had identified a number of intrusion related gold targets and physical gold has been sampled at 60 locations along a 20 mile swath. The Company believes this suggests the possibility of a huge underlying gold system ready for testing with the drill bit.
“These very large projects could fill the bill for major companies needing to replace their reserve base. We are actively seeking joint venture partners that are looking for early stage multi-million ounce targets for a relatively low entry cost on Alaska’s mining-friendly state lands. The Richardson and Shorty Creek projects represent the highest level of Tintina gold belt exploration properties and are increasingly attractive as the gold price continues to climb,” Bush said.
“We are convinced these properties offer exceptional upside value for our shareholders and we believe the declines in both worldwide gold mining output and central bank selling coupled with increasing demand for the financial safety of gold, portends stronger trends in price increase. We have positioned Tri-Valley Corporation to benefit exceptionally as we prove up these projects,” said F. Lynn Blystone, Tri-Valley chief executive officer.
Shareholder Letter dated 9/17/08

It speaks to the SEC's new stance on NSS and requests that TIV shareholders take steps to keep their shares from being loaned out for shorts to borrow and sell.
Our noting of the SEC's stance:

Not sure that individuals taking steps to inhibit normal shorting of shares has anything to do with the SEC's stance on enforcing NSS rules , but I suppose a combination of the two could make it at least a bit tougher on the shorts who have enjoyed TIV for so long.
