Nice to see the quality and quantity of posts increasing here.
As for SW's sells, it is dissapointing but with over 20M under his belt
it is a very small, almost negligable ammount, in percentage terms.

I am more than happy to hold now and will add to my pile as and when funds allow.

M

ML - I continue to hold but my point was simply that no-one knows how many shares Steig is intending to sell. If it is circa 5m then we are doomed (for the next few months anyway).

Not a bad CV, interesting remarks about "go to market" plans, watch for AOL, Verizon!!!

Ask????????/ I think we went through that one at the agm.

650k buy possibly Dilts.
GEM offloading another chunk of the 11 m.,

Is "jambonne" parma -ham, seems to be a big discussion on `i-yi-yi`, not really TAD related though!Altho` tads/frogs hhhhmmmm, maybe??

I thought Jambon was French for ham - not specifically parma ham. But don't rely on me.

"and parma ham (jambonne) is always a nice pairing with a good bottle of wine and some ..."

..........


Yes I thght.that too until I ` googled ` it, viz.
` jambon-` la belle porc de La France`,

too much info.??

Seq - not convinced. That page is using French words some of the time to convey an impression of a multi-cultural European cuisine www.wineloverspage.com/roadreports/2000.shtml - 71k

I think the sentence you quote simply uses the closest French word to Parma Ham, ie Jambonne. But I admit I could be wrong! If you get a definitive answer from 3i then please post. Cheers and have a good weekend.

More sales by Steig - the sp will go nowhere until he has finished selling (whenever that happens):

IRVINE, California, May 19 /PRNewswire/ --

- The Merger Creates a New Industry Leader in the Software
'On-Demand' Market



Tadpole Technology plc (LSE: TAD) announced the completion of the merger
of its two streaming technology subsidiaries, Stream Theory and Endeavors
Technology. In combining and leveraging the people, products, and patents of
the two companies, the merger creates a new industry leader that is
positioned as the de facto standard for On-demand software streaming
solutions for business and consumer gaming markets.


The two Tadpole subsidiaries have synergistic benefits in the
software-streaming market. Endeavors Technology addresses the enterprise
market in the U.S. and Europe, providing software that streams business
applications On-demand over corporate networks to PCs. Endeavors' flagship
product, AppExpress, is a software-streaming platform used by enterprises,
application- and managed-service providers, software developers and
educational institutions. Stream Theory, a leader in games-on-demand,
complements Endeavors Technology and holds an early and core patent. Stream
Theory's streaming-software platform, StreamFlow is extensively used by game
publishers and developers, software e-tailers, software portals and
application service providers.


The combined companies will be known as Stream Theory, Inc. and will be
headquartered in Irvine, California. The company's expanded product portfolio
will include both AppExpress and StreamFlow platforms and support for these
will continue. Steig Westerberg, software streaming pioneer and former COO of
Endeavors and Stream Theory, will step up as chief executive officer for the
new company.


"The merger between Stream Theory and Endeavors Technology brings
significant benefits to our customers and the markets we serve," said Steig
Westerberg, CEO of Stream Theory. "Leveraging the strengths of both companies
allows us to be a stronger partner to our customers, across all segments of
the market. Our priority during and after the integration process is to
ensure that our customers continue to receive the benefits of existing
products and services while gaining access to an expanded product portfolio."


Software streaming is an underlying technology that supports utility
computing, software-as-a-service and pay-as-you-go pricing. For enterprises
looking to build agile IT to address dynamic and unforgiving market
conditions, streaming On-demand software is a critical technology. Acceptance
of software streaming has moved beyond early adopters to early mainstream
users and continues to provide a competitive IT and business advantage.
According to Gartner, Inc. "Enterprises seeking to achieve a competitive
advantage from their IT investments need to be among the first in their
industries to identify and leverage innovative and influential products and
services."


Game developers and others in the burgeoning On-demand gaming market use
streamed software to increase revenue and customer loyalty by offering titles
over the Internet for purchase, rental or trial, all with anti-piracy
protection and an optimum game-play experience. Software streaming is also a
platform that creates significant new revenue opportunities for software
vendors, portals and ISPs who can use it to create software-on-demand and
managed services.

:-)

a buy indeed, its called a short close, a GEM short close.

Thought seeing as Yuff is so clever and how he is continually right, take a look at one of his pearls from June 2004, how the person has the gall to actually think he is continually right, I suppose some people live in cloud cuckoo land.
"The difference between now and then is Tad have plenty of Cash, 2 subsiduaries gaining good traction in the Market with some very good contracts signed, in summary we are more likely to hit 34p than your 8p."
More likely to hit 34p!
TAD now 5.88p
....
thank goodness senior posters like yuff can`t be treated this way on civilized bb`s, lets hope that NW on this awful bb stamp on the French Ham immediately, gross, utterly gross.

Ollie

I dont think its a GEM short. Could be a gem of a buy though.
I see you have been banned again on 3i's. Will you ever learn?

Couldn't happen to a nicer person, he does seem to be registering new aliases daily over there shame that iii are on to them so quickly. LOL
Since when did, we are more likely, become a firm prediction.
If I could be bothered I would go back to June 03 and look for oily's prediction of 3p when the share price was 5p, lucky none of us were holding out breathe on that one, we'd still be waiting, antone remember oily's alias back then, I doubt if he can.
