Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[LQempty]

I don't want to admit it, but it actually does make a lot of sense. Who would you expect to commercialize LM first? - Apple or LQMT? If Apple is throwing all the bucks at R&D to make sure what is commercialized looks the way they want it to and can stand the test of consumer/commercial use, it would make the most sense that LQMT will be utilizing that R&D dumped into CIP for non-C/E use.

Further, Apple validating the tech (and the materials Vidal says other engineers are "fearful" of - namely, beryllium) is metaphorically like having the King (Apple) taste the food before the servants. Plus, everyone else has been extolling the virtues of the marketing angle of Apple's use. How is the small R&D budget of LQMT going to outdo the R&D budget and commercialization prospects of Apple? It can't. It's why the sooner AAPL comes out with an LM product (not just a SIM card removal clip), the faster LQMT can start to sell something.

You da man OOO but LQMT isn't the center of Apple's universe.

Without knowledge of Apple's strategy to utilize the metal or where in their product release schedule our LM sits, how you can infer anything from Apple's non-use to date? It may sit prominently in Apple's 2014 or even 2015 calendar. Who knows? The metal may be paired with a new display glass still not perfected (the metal's cool but the dang glass breaks.) There may be unfinished rf testing. LM may be approved but paired with a hardware package two versions downstream. None of that has anything to do with the prototypes we have out. I can't imagine an Apple LM product release as a line item on any of those punch lists. I would guess we'll get an order (or orders) from someone else before Apple announces Liquidmetal.

Storyline B is not so bad, right?
