Re: Why Netlist (NLST) Is Falling Today

Rich Chuckrey — Sat, 18 Jan 2014 20:38:09 -0000

How can The Street push a "sell" when Netlist just won [and Inphi and all other LRDIMM manufacturers have effectively lost] a critical patent reaffirmation with the USPTO appeal board regarding memory load reduction, and memory rank multiplication? Do you folks know what the '527 patent means monetarily for damages and future licensing revenues surrounding LRDIMM? LRDIMM players include the likes of Micron and just about all other memory manufacturers. Intel is building their chipset memory sockets to accommodate Netlist's hybrid memory IP. LRDIMM is also the only viable alternative to Netlist's HCDIMM, and Netlist's IP 'is' LRDIMM. So what we're seeing unfold here is Netlist just climb to the top in the markets for LRDIMM and HCDIMM, which are now in DDR3 and soon in DDR4.

Why the "sell" rating again?

Re: CES 2014: Sandisk UlltraDimm – Future of Storage?

Diablo whistleblower appears to say Diablo and SMART (aka Sandisk) blatantly stole and copied Netlist trade secrets and technology to make this product. If so then Netlist is the leader in the server memory market. Thoughts?

The S&P and its employees needs to be investigated for market manipulation...

Very relevant article I believe. Thanks Scott.

Nice write-up. I'm betting firmware has a decent chance to remedy both issues. We'll see what 4.0.1 brings....

Very plausible.

I was thinking more on the lines of legislation. Granted, there have been private efforts in the past to bolster privacy on the web, but it seems like this latest push is gaining traction on a larger scale...

Re: The Strange and Consequential Case of Bradley Manning, Adrian Lamo and WikiLeaks

Rich Chuckrey — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 01:28:16 -0000

I think we both know that in many US government offices and probably where Manning sat, government computers of various classifications are lined up [nearly] side-by-side. If one -really- wants to fix problems like this, there are ways to do so without relying on policy and peoples' integrity. But then again, what do you rely on if you can't rely on someone's integrity.

Re: Next iPhone – Touch Sensitive Housing

I'm thinking touch and swipe from the backside to control functions as you hold the iPhone in your hand. Or use it as a Magic Mouse...?

I hope you're right. I'd find it hard to drop my cash on one if it wasn't

Hey Tim, I'm always up for a hard time. Bring it on! =D

Re: Is Anti-Virus Software Required On Mac OS X?

Rich Chuckrey — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 21:58:24 -0000

Michael: I don't believe we're blanket-advising folks 'not to use' AV on a Mac. I think what we're doing here is weighing the requirement for installing AV on OS X against current security risks and doing so in layman's terms. If you're a user on a current version of OS X (not running Windows in Fusion or parallel), and you're patched, and you're not surfing pornography or downloading unknown files, then [as the article states] "you probably do not need anti-virus software on your Mac."

Granted - installing AV software on any system is an ideal step toward strengthening your virus protection -- if you can afford the cost for an AV application and its performance hit on your system resources.

Installing AV software for 900 corporate Macs [like your environment] is a no-brainer. Installing AV software on a single home Mac with a patched OS X is debatable.

Re: Navy Federal Credit Union Web Site Operating with Security Issue

Rich Chuckrey — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 18:07:35 -0000

Good point in that last paragraph, but try putting the 'real' NFCU page side-by-side with a faked (phishing) SSL NFCU page and which one would you rather log into? You would probably ignore the 'real' NFCU page and enter your personal NFCU access number and password into the phishing page with SSL. No?

Re: Navy Federal Credit Union Web Site Operating with Security Issue

Rich Chuckrey — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 17:58:06 -0000

I doubt many NFCU customers know enough to check what the 'target form' is and whether or not it points to an 'HTTPS URL.' We're talking about common sense. What's the point in not securing a sign-on form?

Re: WolframAlpha – Ambitious, But Not Google

Rich Chuckrey — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 11:16:32 -0000

Neither am I, Scott. It was a lot of exciting hype that left me wondering. Not that I prefer Google over WA, but I found myself finding ways to duplicate WA results in Google search. Probably a result of doubting WA or possibly wanting to show that a better and more branched reply from Google exists.

I have no problems with government subsidies for newspapers IF controls were in place that ensured the news wasn't politically influenced.

Newspapers can either innovate, consolidate or fail. There will always be a need for quality journalism. It's only a matter of how that journalism gets distributed and who ends up being the distributor.

I'm eating ham & cheese on Italian bread with mayo, drinking a 100% fruit mix and sitting straight up at my desk -- plowing through email.

Welcome aboard the Miso train Greg! Good to have your perspective!

Pete: Great point. If it works, why upgrade. Unless your pockets are just cash deep. However and unfortunately, there comes a time when upgrading just makes sense. One example is hardware and software that comes up on end of life with no continuing support. Red pill or the blue pill?

Was there no recourse? Albeit a great way to vent, these sites [I believe] have the ultimate responsibility to protect the accused. Too much slander is never a winner..... in court. Sad I had to say, 'too.'

Yorick, what are the specs on your hackintosh (if you don't mind revealing)? Thanks!
