DivX Considers A Profitable Break-Up, But Are There Any Long Term Benefits?

Why would Take Two pick a stage of 10million(stage6) vs. a stage of 100million(youtube)?

Why bother? Satellite radio is piratically obsolete thanks to Wifi,2.5G, 3G, WiMax.

Is Google the Next AOL?

My price target for GOOG is $2,000. Why? well i'm not going to say. But I will say this, AOL failed because it did not want to adapt (rejected broadband internet). Google however, has always shown they could adapt to the changing internet(see youtube).

Why DivX is Still a Great Long Term Growth Story

I have a different View on Divx.
Problems:
1. Where is the content?
-Almost 90% of the online content being creating is being transcoded to Flash.(see youtube)
-ABC (dynamic.abc.go.com/str...) is using Flash for its shows online.
-Website in between ABC and user created are also using Flash(see gametrailers.com)
- Microsoft and Apple dominate online downloads(see iTunes, see CNBC/NBC,)

Note: Look at Dolby (DLB), it makes money not only from hardware(TVs, DVD Players, Speakers, Receivers) but also from the software (Video Games, and DVDs and Movies).

2. With margins shrinking...
Something tells me that with margins shrinking in the cell phone market, Companies aren't going to hope that Dvix gets it act together and gain content.

$17 is a lot of money for one codec....

Did you update the Airport Extreme to the latest firmware?
