tape out is just that - tape out. you are at least correct that cybershuttle has nothing to do with full mask, and as I pointed out in my blog - the time-frames, from tape-out are similar (cybershuttle / full-mask). Full mask happens post tape-out. you know F__K ALL - go back to selling snake oil.
again, I will reiterate, my blog post was not directed at any one manufacturer. But I do understand your frustration, as the news just means it will be longer til you can get your photo taken with your #1 neptune (which will not have decent burn in and will likely set your house on fire).
It is funny (or rather ironic) that you are the one who is acting like the "Know it all" or at least that's what you are so desperately trying to believe that you result into name calling in back-to-back posts. You know what they say, whoever screams the loudest knows the least...
How much Ego does one must possess to create a new post about a "news" and quoting his own blog as source and proof of this news? As if that wasn't enough, that said egotistical person has the gut to post a Please Donate at the end.. As if he is providing a great service to everyone. You are a sad, sad little man. I am sorry for you.

ADD: I do admit that I took my personal repulsion of Eric Hansen and I applied it to my reasoning.
I was wrong in that I should have just ignored him in the first place. I have not offered you any proof of anything, I feel that proof will show for itself from what I have read in the confidential documentation which was leaked to me, whilst I was researching something along a totally different line.
I also understand the frustration that your hardware manufacturer is screwing you over left and right, while you attack the messenger of bad news.
I'm sorry for your frustration and also for the millions of £'s that your h/w builder is accruing while you are the ones who have funded their greed.
you asked for disruptive? you are welcome.
direct your anger at those who are delaying your profit, not the ones who show it in plain sight.
