Now it becomes very clear that your total understanding of the story is totally screwed. If you want to get on a forum to discuss a subject do so with an unbiased position please. Also stop wining or I might have to send some cheese.
"They were in on the talks with the rest of the memory standards organization JEDEC. JEDEC's rules say that members must disclose all IP and licensing terms."
Wrong, Judge McGuire (sp) stated that the rules governing membership to JEDEC were vague and ambiguous and did not legally bind members to reveal their IP OR possible future patents to the standard setting body. In fact several companies in JEDEC developed the pin out on memories, patented the idea then stated that the patent would be "royalty free". All done while members of JEDEC, how do you explain that.
Another thing McGuire also said that if companies did reveal their IP's or future IP ideas that this may lead to antitrust problems which is exactly were Rambus and the three amigos are now.
Gee you wonder why memory prices are high. Just look back a few years when DDR was produced for less than manufacture cost. That was compliments of your three amigos that artificially suppressed prices so that they could call RDRAM expensive. Now that Intel is not using RDRAM the prices just magically increased. That's why Rambus is suing for antitrust. It has now become apparent through previous legal proceedings that IFX, Micron, Hynix and others have conspired to work the memory industry against Rambus and the consumers.
Yea I'll explain. The standards setting body that's call JEDEC cherry picked the ideas of Farmwald and Horwitts(sp), founders of Rambus, who were the initial developers of RDRAM. The cherry picking came after Rambus solicited to the memory manufactures their ideas for new memory technology. Rambus ask on two occasions to present to JEDEC but were refused. Gordon Kelly of IBM at the time said "One day all memory will be made like this, we only hope that we won't have to pay Rambus for it". Rambus left JEDEC in 1996 and was awarded their first patent in 1999 or 2000 at which time Rambus proceeded to file suit on those companies that had not purchased the rights to their technology. The concerted efforts of the "three amigos" as they're called have caused you the consumer to be feed an inferior product. That product is DDR memory. Rambus developed the technology and should get paid for it. This will be one of the biggest stories of lies and deceit in corporate business.
