It sure would be nice to have a discussion about the new documents than the alternative threads on the board.

Perhaps I'm the only one, but I still find the arguments of Rambus against the FTC much more compelling than the smoke, mirrors, and innuendo that the FTC throws out.

FTC continues to cite Timony's early "adverse presumptions" and Payne's from the hip (no documentation supplied) criticism of Rambus' having destroyed unknown documents that surely would somehow have made either the FTC's original case of IFX's case.

Stone did a good job addressing point by point the FTC's sloppiness, and their attempts to punish Rambus in a manner unheard of.....and yet the FTC counsel still can't put their finger on the crime...what documents could have possible been destroyed that would have changed anything that McGuire found?

Truly, if the FTC can't find their way out of this case.....surely...the Court of Appeals can do it.

It still puzzles me after all these years how every other FTC case has settled - some even with large, but not unreasonable financial penalties for true fraudulent actions to take advantage of either consumers or markets....but this case still hangs on.

With the exception of the DELL case, where their VP stated in a standards body that they would not assert their patents...and then tried to....there is nothing close to this attempted lynching.

With several relatively new FTC commissioners, I would hope that their professional reputations are worth enough to them for them to come down on the side of justice here.
