Ron you are absolutely correct to chuckle at those calculating numbers. After rethinking my post yesterday, I was all set to apologize for confusing billions of golden arch hamburgers to millions of arm chips. I then looked up to find arm selling 2 billion cores per year. 16 million cores per day. cars, refrigerators, even those washing machines we can't override anymore contain arm.
My thinking yesterday on those numbers was just for a minimum of $1.00 a share on a buyout. It would probably have to triple for years of appeals etc. thus triple damages.
Thankfully some are starting to at least have an open mind on arm infringing, especially the 336. That puts arm in the loop, along with the actual core manufacturers. QUALCOMM,texas inst. lsi etc. Now we have the actual manufacturers of products that incorporate these chipsets. acer samsung lg. etc.
We have no proof of such, but just follow the trail. arm arm arm. Just keep an open view. my view
