Liquidmetal Technologies Inc (LQMT)

[Barney Vissur]

So, query - if Peker states that AAPL is going to spend close to 500 mill on the LQMT tech, why would AAPL sit idly by while Glassimetals/Johnson come up with production processes that are more efficient than those that CIP is attempting to develop while Glassimetals/Johnson could have the opportunity to license or sell those processes to a competitor of AAPL? What are your thoughts? It would not appear that Glassimetals would have the financial backing that Apple is providing for the CIP stuff, but maybe they have found backing or maybe they didn't need it. Regardless, it appears that Glassimetals is creating significant value for itself that could be a significant thorn in the side of Apple should Glassimetals decide to sell/license their own tech to a competitor, particularly if it's more efficient.
