Yeah, the article will be released right after Derek's lifetime business accomplishments.
Why doesn't he just give the name of the executive he spoke to at VMWare? You criticize the Sphere news release for not mentioning the details of the company that made the positive quote yet you guys do the exact same thing by saying that you were told by an executive that there is just a reseller agreement and nothing more but won't spit out the contact. You guys are full of bull**it!!
I totally agree with you on that one. He needs to get on with his life rather than spending it on a stock message board trying to get back at a company that wouldn't deal with him. Derek came out and made claims against the relationship between VMWare and Sphere, saying his source was some top executive. All I asked for was the name of the contact, plain and simple, and all I got was some long-winded response, typical action by these guys
Simple question was asked who you spoke with at VMWare, your lack of response with an actual name just confirms you didn't speak to anyone.
Why don't you give us the name of the exec you contacted? Not that I'm doubting your due diligence, it's just that your track record for honesty just isn't there on this board
Keep on telling yourself that Hugo, and please continue to short the stock as much as you can. I'd let you borrow my 6 figure share count but I'm just too attached to them to let them go.
Do I look nervous? They don't need anyone else to review it, it's just for the big players in the hybrid cloud, everyone else is irrelevant
Sphere doesn't have to bend down to a techie guy to test their product. Their market is big business, not nerdy individual computer geeks that follow this guy. Sphere has MSFT, Novarad and VMWare approval; a review by a wannabe writer who can't get a real journalist job isn't what Sphere needs or cares for or frankly is going to spend their time trying to get approval from, of course all IMHO.
We did get a press release, from VMware. If Sphere released this news the real "toad lickers", yes I'm referring to you Hugo, would jump all over it and question why VMware isn't announcing the partnership if it's so good. You can't win with these guys, no point in responding to their perpetual negativity, we'll see by the end of this year who's right.
In addition, this time around Sphere's products are ON MSFT's Azure and VMware's Horizon, selling being done by the behemoths
Reread your post but interchange MSFT and VMware with Sphere 3D and the reverse holds true as well. In a "partnership" BOTH parties benefit. In this set up, the little Canadian company has much more to benefit, their tech being exposed to all of MSFT and VMwares current and future customers. Best advertisement ever, worth every penny Sphere has to pay them for this "partnership"
Glassware is the new partnership with VMware. The old V3 association is irrelevant compared to this new association
Sorry Cabel, great minds think alike. Just tired of all this downplaying of the little company that has partnered with the behemoths of the cloud world and others trying to downplay the association.
Then why do they need to partner with Sphere 3D? Obviously ANY brings something valuable to the table that MSFT and Vmware can't!
And now the party is also taking place at VMWare
From VMware web site:
"Horizon 7 provides a streamlined approach to delivering, protecting and managing virtual desktops (VDI) and apps while containing costs and ensuring that end users can work anytime, anywhere, across any device."
Now where have I heard those words before?
I never said there's anything wrong with affiliating ourselves with either of these large companies, it just appears to me that VMWare is promoting us while we have to promote our relationship with MSFT, that's all.
A lot of comparisons have been made between alleged partnerships between Sphere 3D and MSFT, Google, Dell etc. However, the VM Ware arrangement seems different to me: VMWare has been doing all the announcements and promotions, unlike the MSFT/ANY set up where Sphere 3 D made all the announcements and news releases. The news release came from VMWare, not Sphere 3D, that speaks volumes to me.
If we can get some solid financing in place then we don't need to rely on huge quarter over quarter revenue increases, at least in the short term
A game changer will be financing, not the next quarter results. ANY has some big boys in their court now, wouldn't be surprised if one of them steps up and secures it's financial future.
Thanks for the clarification, was wondering if I missed something at the close
Why is Yahoo finance and Apple stocks now showing a closing SP of $1.35?
I'm surprised more has not been made of the short covering. If they truly expected the company to fall short of revenue targets and go bankrupt, why bother covering now?
In my experience, massive short covering usually precedes another leg UP. IMHO of course
Or maybe NOT!
It seems illogical to me that Sphere's SP will be dropping below $1 next year as some suggest on this board. Why would 1.75million shorts be covered recently if a continued drop in SP is expected? Hmmmm.....
Did you see how fast Dominion lenders were up and running??
Of note in the recent article re moving to the cloud, took Pfizer 18 months to complete the transition to the cloud. How much did that cost? Sphere could have done it in one day!
Straight from Novarad web site just now under Novaglass benefits "Mobilty. Any app can be used on any device"
"NovaGlass Is…

Looks like ANY is covered with both Chromebooks and MSFT in the world education arena

I'm still in shock! Did Hugo say that was his last post? Ever? Hmmm, what does that mean? The Shorts have seen the light? Is it possible they will release ANY from the clutches of the dark forces? I doubt it's that easy, it never is, I'm sure he'll make a cameo appearance soon
The minions old argument of "look at the stock price, the company is worthless" is lame, especially when they are the ones manipulating it down. They try to instil fear in current shareholders that doom is imminent, they scare away potential investors due to the volatility of the share price and they claim victory based on this. I guess when you're a paid thug, you don't have any intelligence to realize that the potential here is huge. It's the reality of current investing in small cap start ups unfortunately that one has to deal with. I take comfort when they are on this board after hours and on weekends, it means something good is coming!
There are many investors on the sidelines, wanting to invest in this company, but the risk at the moment is still too high for most. They believe in the technology, they like how the game plan is unfolding but feel it's still too early to make an investment as the share price is still too easily manipulated by the dark forces and their minions; look at the news releases and the lack of share price movement. However, when that day comes where the profitability of the company is imminent, look out. This thing will take off and take off fast. For those of us with some patience, how can you not add to your current position at these deflated prices?
I wonder if Hugo was one of the 70 to try out this vapourware?
"Provisioned on 70 virtual machines in the first week", any comments on this considering it wasn't officially launched until today?
And there it is! Official news release on Azure
It's easy for one to be accurate with their predictions when they are the ones manipulating the SP
How do you know that someone dropped $5million on this?
News release re financing just out
