InterDigital Inc (IDCC)

Maybe this is just another thing that I have over-simplified and made incorrect assumptions about, but it sure has been working for me so far. Info is not worth much until it gets verified as fact. It's the same whether somebody posts something about their own personal over-enthusiastic hopes and dreams OR some of their misguided criticisms IMO. It's all just passing "noise" until some facts can be independently validated. If it's not worth checking out, then it's not worth messing with.

After doing my share of checking out the facts surrounding a lot of scary sounding posts, and seeing how much unsupported personal "spin" gets posted, I found myself wondering why. Came up with a set of categories or "pigeon holes" that seemed to fit the answers for most of the reasons folks would post stuff without factual content, or stuff that is driven by their own personal needs and emotions. Some of the "pigeon holes" that get the most use are "must have a load of options about to expire", "too deep into the margin cookie jar again", "another short beginning to realize his mistake", "ticked off over mistakes made with his own IDCC investment", and even a "got canned from InterDigital and just cannot get over it" slot that seems to work for a few.
