As if it's going to make a blind bit of difference, but I'm going to link it all the same:

Post the link on the MU stock message boards across the web.
This is one of the ideas that probably won't do any good. It's going to be some nasty court cases with the lawyers on both sides getting rich to stop Rambus.
For the record I belive that Rambus went to the Jedec conference, learned the technology to SDRAM, went back to their offices and poured through every patent to learn what parts of SDRAM had not been patentened. They then amended their earlier patent applications to include SDRAM specifications. They should be stopped.

 

[Windogg]

Up Yours Rambust!!!!

 

[CLL Sr]

Even though it stands little chance I had to slam Rambus one more time.

 

[*kjm]

You guys make me laugh...

Napalm

 

[PliotronX]

Bump

Signed the petition eagerly

 

[KarsinTheHutt]

Signed.

I'd have nothing against them, but they play too nasty for my taste.

 

[Erasmus-X]

Just wait until someone tries to patent a clock frequency.....

 

[PliotronX]

OMG Erasmus nooooo.. makes me break a sweat just thinking about it :-O

I'm wondering if there are any "pro-RAMBUS" people, and what they are smoking.

 

[Crimson]

This is a joke.. Lets all sign a petition because you don't like a product.. Woo-hoo, thats going to do a lot of good. If you don't like the product, DON'T BUY IT.. when was the last time you saw someone at Best Buy with an automatic weapon forcing people to buy Rambus products? Where's the "I support Rambus" petition, because I would like to sign that just to make all you little crybabies go and whine to your mommies about how evil a company is who has virtually no market share. And this is coming from someone who doesn't own a Rambus product or hold their stock.. two words for all of you whiners:

Grow up.

If Rambus succeeds with their evil schemes, you will be forced to pay them royalties (indirectly).

 

[CyberPriceList]

Hekana

but no one forces you to use Intel+Rambus

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

I didn't sign it because I don't like the product. I signed it because I don't like Rambus' underhanded business tactics. If nothing else, this will at least make more people not want to buy Rambus products, thus making the petition a sucess.

But you will anyhow be forced in one way or another, they sued AMD and Transmeta, they own the patents for SDRAM and DDRAM. Dont think you can buy a computer that doesnt have some of those products in them.

Rambus is an infestation to the computer world, the world must be cleansed.

 

[Noriaki]

I signed this in a different thread, but keep the sigs coming, though it won't do any good.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

No one is signing a petition against the product, it's against the company, there is a big difference in this case.

Rambus made their DRAM, and tried to compete with it, good and well, I'm all for competition. I hope they continue to improve upon Rambus, so DDR and DDR-II will have a competitor.

But then they stopped competing and instead decided to sue everyone they could lay eyes to, and are trying to make it so they own all DRAM technolgoies, and people have to pay them royalties for everything.

What these royalties do for us? Push SDRAM (DDR and regular) prices up to the point where Rambus doesn't look so expensive.

That is why I signed the petition. I have nothing against Rambus the product - in fact I think it has several applications that fit it very well - but I have plenty against Rambus the company.

I like Rambus. I think serial memory is the future. I own a rambus system that works well and is fast. I think many of you have way to much time on your hands, I mean, do you actually believe that Rambus is evil? Have you ever thought that perhaps rambus has a right to those patents regardless of how it affects you (and it prolly won't)?
