Eric re IDCC's second quarter earnings you said:
...."I recently found out InterDigital's Reporting Q2 earnings on July 28 and I had bet that Moto and Alcatel-Lucent would both beat 'em to the H1 reporting finish line?
.....That's certainly an InterDigital positive. They probably hired an additional accountant to help count all the new money and got a new real time SK Trillion Won to USD convertor that puts the decimal point in the right place. No longer can it be said: "Here comes Stewball, and last but not always least here comes ... InterDigital."
I take your quoted comments as being somewhat sarcastic and sceptical about IDCC's second quarter earnings. However, I tend to agree with the optimistic crowd on this issue. I believe IDCC's second quarter earnings will be very good, and thus they want to get the results out as soon as possible (ie, much earlier than "normal").
