I know right? How long does it take to write an update?

Let me guess he is having the Management of BFL roof read it and make sure that all the lies and excuses are well strung together as to maximize stringing along BFL customers and allow for more customer preorders to take place until the next update (in 30 days).

Or, he did as his customers asked and took out all the bashing of other vendors....then there was nothing left but what you see..?

Just like your head.  Of course, you're incapable of reading "Discussion thread" tacked on the end there, but let's not quibble about details, shall we?  I needed a link to the discussion thread to put in the update.  I can't very well do that without having the thread now can I?  Once again, you show what an incredible idiot you are.

Yep, I've been working on it this afternoon.  It's almost done and will be posted soon.  I've tried to answer all the questions that have been asked so far and I don't think I've missed anything.

If only Tom had done this, bASIC might not be so bad off as they ended up being now.

That and, you know, letting your PR guy handle PR.

LOL right...he is the idiot. And you are just the innocent guy who hasn't delivered after 3.5 months? Yeah we sure know who the idiot is.

But it's not that simple. The process of "ASICs" is so much more complicated then giving a date. You have to fluff it up and point fingers at the fab and other vendors etc.

[smoothie]

This is the problem that Josh doesn't see. The fact that the update has to be so complex and in-depth is a HUGE sign that they are either not going to deliver for a very long time and knew this in advance or they are scrambling because they got scammed by say the FAB etc.

Updates don't need much thought, unless you are trying/needing to convince people to "HANG ON JUST A LITTLE LONGER". 

[ElectricMucus]

I bet on February...
end of February...



a fuzzy date between 29th and 30th

February 30th sounds about right

Bingo! You hit the nail on the head like a tomahawk missile.

If BFL becomes the next bASIC they might as well run for Mexico or Cuba.

What do you say in moments like that? I really don't know what one could possible say. It is a bad situation no matter how much you type or say.

Honestly, I almost feel sorry for BFL.

I just wish Avalon would say something positive at the same time they (BFL) releases bad news.

[Bogart]

Either this round of chips will work and they'll begin shipping a week or two after receiving them, or a respin will be needed, and they won't get the next iteration until well after CNY.

Or there is some issue at the fab and the current round of chips is delayed.

There is no update other than we are shipping in the next week or two. Here are pix of the chips that we received and will update you everyday on the progress of the assembly of the units.

That would be the only update that would likely shut me up because I would then wait until the "assembly" process was done and followed the updates closely enough to know that in fact they are not lying about receiving the chips.

But we all know that is not the case with how long Josh is taking to write the update and answer ALL of the questions that people have, when there really is only one question "when are you shipping?".

[PuertoLibre]

He won't actually answer the questions being asked.

People have asked (myself included) when the re spins occurred and when each batch was scheduled and finally tested.

It would really frame what the issues actually were and what each delay was actually about and what they knew...when they knew it.

[DoomDumas]

What the hell !

Even on ignore, Smootie and PuertoLibre spam the pages so much that I need to scroll between post !

Are you mad guys ?

[Bogart]

Inaba hasn't said anything about the demise of bASIC yet.

How much of the "update" do you reckon will focus on that?

I'm betting on more than 0%.
