ISIL rose 13.89%. Intersil Becomes the Lead Strategic Investor in Bluetooth Leader Silicon Wave . I am missing why it jumped this high off the news.

Are you familiar with Bluetooth, Jack?

Quite the standards org. with the big boys (Intel, Ericsson, Nokia, IBM among others) that is supposed to set standards for wireless networks. I.e., you get in your car and your personal communicator (ex-cell phone) will immediately "interact" with your car. By just having the cell phone in proximity of your car you can now operate it with steering wheel controls, hands free, voice activated, dash board display of stored telephone numbers + names, etc, etc...

You walk within a certain proximity of a store and your personal communicator (ex-Palm VII) connects with the wireless network and displays only sales or specials that would interest you (based on your preferences which you set or it learned over time).

You'd have to sit for hours to just think of a fraction of the possibilities, IMO. I am also of the opinion that this type of technology will rapidly enter our lives whether we like it or not (and I like it!).

Forgive me if you're already familiar with it, but I find the whole thing so fascinating that I ramble on whenever given the chance...
