You are confusing 'believe in ONEV' with 'using ONEV'. They are simply using ONEV to tout Intel platforms. If they were 'Believing' in ONEV, they'd probably dump coin on them or buy them.

Your thoughts are an example of the "denial syndrome" about One Voice as a VR company that I expanded on yesterday. Dell has dozens of software companies involved with them to a much higher degree than ONEV. When Dell advertises VR as a software product to buy with their laptops and PCs, Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred 9.0 is what they put on the main menu as a business app choice. Sure, you can find MCC 3.0 if you punch it into their search engine, above three other Nuance VR products. Why? Because Dell, as INTC and every other major tech company in the world recognize ONEV as desperate and in fiscal disarray; a "trial ware" company if you will. Product(s) they can use to play around with risking no in house capital investment and taking no fiscal chances. If they make a couple bucks, great. If they don't, where's the harm? In the end, where do all of ONEV's products end up once it's time for the big name associates to fork over the real cash? Like the domestic carriers, companies either drop them entirely or like Telmex they negotiate what is very likely a "payoff and get lost" fee allowing ONEV to quietly save face as another huge "deal" slips into oblivion to be replaced by the next great "trial agreement".

Can you understand how this operation works? Isn't it becoming apparent in the least? What situation would you create to sell stock to a group looking to take a chance on a get rich quick investment? You'd have to have an interesting and relatively functional "product" to sell otherwise it might appear you were not in a legit business looking to make an honest profit. As the company was founded during the 90s tech bubble, a tech product seemed a likely choice. A VR product seemed cutting edge, mysteriously unintelligible to the layman and "ahead" of it's time. So you create or find (hello Mr. Weber) what I believe is a simple VR patch program that mimics far more expensive or complicated software using relatively cheap to lease, open architecture versions of a speech recognition platform (Philips and at least another "unnamed") and port the patch to work between those programs and various O/Ss. Now you are ready to sell, but sell what? You make huge profits selling stock, not giving away software, so you approach blue chip name companies offering to give them a free trial of your "VR" installed and deployed at your expense to "get your foot in the door".

Now, the law of averages in sales says if you persistently approach X amount of people in a given time frame with any product, Y amount will take you up on your offer. So, ONEV sets out to use their VR "product" not primarily to generate profit from software sales, but to generate "agreement" or "contract" PR publicity by associating themselves with blue chip names. And why? To generate huge sales of what is truly the net profit money maker, shares, to the retail OTC crowd that forever chase the "get rich quick" lifestyle. But ONEV doesn't sell stock to the public retail crowd you say. No, they discount packages of it to arb fund managers and offshore investors who hedge huge blocks in the form of convertible notes to make money on PPS fluctuations either way. Shorting the notes (with the company's permission I might add) in between the aforementioned PR announcements generated by ONEV when the stock is sinking off it's pumped highs and dumping the converted shares into the rapidly inflating retail OTC market to those suckered retail buyers when the company announces another Dell, Telmex or INTC "Agreement". The catch is, ONEV needs to provide the willing market for those fund managers to dump shares into when the time comes to convert or they stop buying your discounted share packages. Therefore the need for One Voice to create "Agreements" that keep their shareholders ever hopeful and holding and retail suckers ever buying despite the fact ONEV is not selling stock to the public directly.

So what happens when you run out of "product" to sell? You are witnessing that as I type. "Creative finance" is a term one might use. But they are simply borrowing cash from the same people who bought their convertible notes for the past eight years. And every dime of the cash they borrowed has been structured to allow repayment in shares. Shares that are not yet printed. So one of two things has to happen. ONEV MUST achieve a massive increase in their VR software sales over-night to pay off the huge cash debt they are running up (something that is NEVER going to happen IMO) or eventually and inevitably they will need to print a LOT more dilutive and shareholder equity destructive shares to cover their debt. You tell me what is most likely to happen.

I put these posts up because I honestly believe that if people are or were at one time naive enough to believe that ONEV is in business for the single minded purpose of selling VR at a profit, then they do NOT understand that the gimmickry I have just posted goes on all the time on the OTC. I try NOT to make these posts redundant, but to hit on a different aspect or angle of what I believe is occurring with One Voice in every post. Am I "repeating the same message"? Not really, unless you are willing to consider that anyone touting the company using the absurd, associative, "six degrees of separation" illogical fluff posted as "DD" and publishing hearsay and innuendo on the board as "fact" are repeating the same "positive" version of their message in every post. There is a place here for both opinions. Seeing both can allow a person to more readily determine which position sounds more plausible given the historical and current actions of the company and which may be nothing more than a false justification for sustaining the other.

All the above in my opinion of course.
