Finally, Apple has partnered with LiquidMetal in forming Crucible. It wouldn't make sense that they would start over with Corning. [/i

That makes sense, I think. Although would't the manufacturing end of things be like starting over with LQMT anyway ? Corning seems to be in a much better position to produce things than our yet to open Lake Forest facility.

I continue to hold onto the notion that LQMT will not profit from its Apple relationship however and am confused how this message board seems to have let go of that concept (which was litigated to death months ago).

Further , all that money Apple was going to invest this summer. Does not seem LQMT is going to benefit from that effort at all ?

Someone please shoot me down on all these points with some evidence rather than a shout out against a skeptical series of theories.

Good points, Li is the one who has the access/control of the raw material and can mass manufacture BMG.
