greg s, burpzilla, allow me to chime in, again.
If either of you had taken any of your precious time to attend IDF or to even look at the agenda before posting, you'd have realized the IDF event didn't begin until noon. The Moscone Center was nearly empty when sks arrived, although it did begin to fill as we left for that small investors' lunch.
Perhaps you don't realize the significance of the lunch, but I doubt it was wasted on sks. I'm not sure of barge's holdings, but I know that four of us at the table counted for almost four million shares. This type of interaction with shareholders is what CEOs do everyday, and, with another probable PP sometime later this year was, IMO, a wise expenditure of time. I might add that sks entered the IDF expo area to make sure his team of 8 or 9 guys were there as the event began; rest assured, there were no empty booths at IDF.
One interesting thing I did notice is that IDF seemed to be lightly attended, even when we came back from lunch.
Greg, as an Intel employee, I'm sure you must have attended an IDF-type event before. There simply are no Dell nor Cisco nor Hewlett Packard CEOs or officers walkin' the floor that might be drawn in by the bright lights of the TCG booth. The typical profile of an IDF attendee is someone who works with Intel and Intel-certified products. Period. The big selling to OEMs is done at the marketing level with product managers, then sold to upper management.
Regarding the lawsuits, sks should be busy defending them? Are you crazy? Nobody fights them outside a courtroom, and that's why we have D&O insurance. Maybe you have me on iggy greg, but sks was asked about the suits and the SEC. His response is in my post.
Anyway, that's my two cents worth. But I would like to thank you for your generous contributions to the iHub board, greg_s especially for helping us understand technology in general and why Wave can't possibly succeed, and burpzilla, for, well, I honestly can't think of anything except, possibly for having such a nice handle that reminds me to thank my mother for her diligence in teaching me that manners do matter.
