Okay, somebody has to say this. That explanation/presentation was brutal. No offense to our guy, but he lost me after 2.5 minutes. The stuff in the last 3 or so minutes was much more interesting, but by that time, anyone who isn't an electronics or phontonics engineer was numb. What Vivek said was so dense and stated without proper context that even the interviewer couldn't fathom for the life of her what pertinent questions to ask. Opportunity lost!

Here's what's needed to spread the POET love far and wide, and all in easy to understand laymen's terms if you please ...

1. A brief explanation of what others are trying to accomplish, but cannot, or what the computing world is clamoring for in chip development, but can't realize. Very brief.

2. A short and sweet explanation of what POET's chips can do. Simply and located within appropriate application contexts but minus the overbearing science - that only muddies cognitive waters. A tell-tale diagram or two would help.

3. A full explanation of how POET's chips will make computing faster and less expensive and whatever other accolades can be reasonably projected/assumed such as durability, efficiencies and cost. Silos of applications would also help.

This boring non-meaningful interview, coupled with Mika's stumblings - it's almost as if they don't want the world to know.

Furthermore, where's the excitement? Where's the "I-want-everyone-to-know-about-this" attitude? Where's the "POET-chips-will-save-you-money" pitch? You'd think they were talking about fixing a leaky sink, for heaven's sake.

My friend, who watched the piece with me, said, "WHAT? What does he mean? What are they trying to say? How will whatever they're doing make a difference?"

Sheeeesh!!!
