Interesting news from Linius Technologies Ltd (ASX:LNU) announcing a collaboration with Warner Bros. Entertainment Group of Companies.

If I am reading the announcement correctly then this could be a game changer for Warners and other studios.

It sounds like they are working on creating an on-demand streaming site that will mean WB can offer direct-to-consumers: something not possible till Linius and it's Virtualized Video software.

With Linius software they have a way of ensuring no piracy.

In the words of Daffy Duck "Welcome to the 21 and a half Century!"

Plus they can offer personalized advertising for the studio so it can have targeted promotion. For this and many toher raesons we recently took a stake in Linius. See our previous blog.]

People like Apple and Netflix won't like this as they are really a middle man in the game. Technology disrupts technology.

I have locked in an interview with Chris Richardson, Linius CEO, tomorrow afternoon (Friday 9th Feb). He's currently in Europe.

Also Weebit Nano Ltd (ASX:WBT) news on scaling up it's silicone oxide based storage class chip to a 4Kb chip is very interesting.

You wont get the likes of Samsung etc. interested unless you can show it work at 1Mb and this is a step closer. 4DS Memory is working on the same type of thing but different at the world leading IMEC research facility.

We don't have a stake in Weebit at the moment but once the excitement of today's announcement dies off we will have a look at then.

We currently hold a small position in 4DS Memory and will be interviewing their Executive Chairman Jim Dorian one-on-one in Sydney today for an update on the IMEC work.

I have put in an interview request with Weebit for my trip to Israel in late March.

Finally, I just completed an interview with Caroline Stephen of www.talkingtrading.com.au about our investment strategy. For those interested ion such things her site has a plethora of interviews with some leading investment bods.
