Awk, CM, New Wave
It seems almost certain that it's PST - Paradigm Shift Time. The fact that SKS, Lark, Brian are showing up at these conference/meetings with presentations that are central to the PS are not accidental, not just for show.
As some of us said years ago, it's about AUTHENTICATION, AUTHENTICATION, and AUTHENTICATION. Up to now inferior forms of authentication have been allowed. TCG and TPMs have always been about when the barbed wire would be put up on the great plains of the Internet. On the real great plains, barbed wire was invented after cattle drives started destroying farmland in central and southern Kansas. Well, we've now reached that point in Cyberspace.
The TPM is the barbed wire making sure the herds can't go where they don't belong and are not wanted. KeV may not believe it yet, but there is and has been a slow steady development of a system to control anarchy in cyberspace.
His question is without meaning, even as I type this on my enterprise level machine. I don't have one as a consumer, but I believe the various colleges that I'm associated with will have them in the near future because THEY need to improve who goes where on THEIR systems. The fireball will explode outward from the places needing security the most -- the center of the military/industrial complex, not from my consumer typing.
All these conferences are focusing on the paradigm shift. If KeV doesn't see it coming now that's okay with me. The one TPMed fool might just be kind in the cyberspace of the blind. KeV, like charts will be right until he's wrong as he's been on the distribution of 400 million TPMs, the survival of Wave in 2001,2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, and last year. Once in a while, Things stop taking time, and sometimes the boy who cries wolf -- finds the wolf at his door.
All I know for sure is that I need a lower price than $50 to have more money in my accounts than I did when we hit $50 the last time.
I'm dumb enough to believe that our seat at the table (TCG BoD) was granted because it's still the catbird's seat. It's happening as Weets say because Wave has been doing lots of heavy lifting (patents) for lots of quarters. I see lots of Grants being ezchanged for all those quarters. As my friend Vactionhouse always adds. "Have a Nice Day!"
