Although rambus has had some shady practices with patents (a certain case of creating a standard that relied on their own patents comes to mind), calling them patent hogs is idiotic.

These people have a R&D department. They are one of the primary reasons why memory is where it is today. Sure, someone else would have done the same with time, but RAM manufacturers have pretty much shown they don't care much for innovation when it comes to RAM.

If you were to look at all the major advancements in RAM, they pretty much came from either rambus or IBM. It wasn't the chip makers, yet people seem to think that the chip makers would take over if Rambus were to fold.

At least there's a company out there that will research it. It takes a lot of money to develop and test these technologies. There is also a lot of very smart people that need to be hired to make this happen. Yet some people think that Rambus should be giving this out for free.
