There is a clause in the contract agreement that prohibits APPLE from just sitting on the technology.
They aren't using it because they haven't perfected mould machine technology to make bigger pieces of the metal.

Samsung already used LiquidMetal in a smartphone. Look it up. It didn't work because it was niche and expensive. Apple probably throws away more than 20 mill a week(daily?) looking for new tech to put in their products. Keeping LQMT alive with 20 mill was a pittance in their budget. What you should be asking yourself is. Did LQMT sell their soul? And will that transaction ever, rationally, benefit very diluted LQMT shareholders.

Nevertheless. It's still on watch for a possible irrational moment.

Where on earth did you get this notion? That is quite far from reality. Have you even seen the iPhone 5? The "edge" is definitely still there.

knowing that they [Apple} are already losing the edge in phone technology.

Apple released its Form 10-K yesterday, including that Apple projects capital expenditures for 2013 to be $10 billion -- $850 million for retail stores, $9.15 billion for product tooling and manufacturing process equipment, and corporate facilities and infrastructure, including information systems hardware, software and enhancements.
That's an enormous about of tooling and equipment. I understand some of it may be for replacing assembly line workers with robotics, but could there be a connection to LQMT?
