Great rollercoaster of a ride today hitting 11 and closing at 9 The new member must be a go getter and has many influences in the field,as it showed today.Hmmm what will tomorrow bring.I wonder since his background deals with the industry of which TMMI is targeted that we might see a good ride for a long time and finally a light at the end of the tunnel...Its been 14 years and lets not forget AMGEN flounder for years at 12 cents until they made it BIG TIME!I would like to see a connection,either with the defense dept or tech world.

This is shaping up to be a great turnaround story. Company was in death spiral for over a decade. Shareholders vote out old management and they start to bring in heavy hitters.

Share price reflects a lot of optimism about the future of this company. Remember that this stock was trading in the .01-.02 range for years and bottomed out as low as .005! People who bought in low are sitting on huge gains, but few are selling into this run. Who would when someone is finally steering the ship!

Now we still haven't seen any sales yet, so it's all speculation at this level but the images on the website suggests great compression ratios and color depth can be achieved for HD video with the technology. So hopefully there is great upside here!

The iBox provides a good update.

How what may be best described as genuinely disruptive technology is to understand what all the excitement about Fractal Compression is. Brief speaking, a fractal algorithm searches for self similar patterns within images that are remapped into pixels during decompression. Digital images can be broken down and compressed into fractals and stored in a fraction of the normal storage space. This is just one advantage that fractal compression technology has over JPEG and other digital compression technologies. The other advantage of fractal compression is that when images are brought back from storage and decompressed to be viewed full screen they don't lose much of their resolution and the colors remain true; this is because fractals are independent of scale. Compare this with current digital compression codecs which are pixel based, when the pixilated image is decompressed and enlarged, the image quality and color suffers in direct proportion to the increase in size of the image.

When Taylor Kramer (TMMI's Founder) first discovered the inherent nature of fractals he envisioned Fractal Compression as the way of the future in delivering data and images over the internet. This vision ultimately led to a collaborative effort with Iterated the original patent holder of Fractal Compression and it was Taylor Kramer that was able to unlock the secrets in making fractal compression for video work. The issue in this early period of development for the software was that it was very hardware dependent. It literally took IBM's super computer several days to encode a mere hour of video making this compression scheme economically challenging at the time but nonetheless he did prove it would work for high resolution video to be compressed and decompress with incredibly small file size. Well, fast forward to today where we now have the hardware catching up to TMMI's software, your laptop computer is the equivalent of that IBM super computer. With the vast increases in PC processing power and the widespread availability of broadband cable and DSL connections it has resulted in creating "the perfect storm" with a growing insatiable demand for high resolution video on the Internet. The potential market for TMMI video compression technology is huge. As we move forward into this new era of the internet TMMI's blockbuster technology will certainly be recognized for its enormous potential.

All I can say is stay tuned and good luck to all the shareholders of this remarkable company.
