jeff get a life...dont try to defend her and make urself look silly!!!

[hijeff] 21/1/2007 09:41

if an indian calls jade a 'yorkshire puddin' would that cause the same hoohar?

[cootuk] 21/1/2007 03:40

At least they will get extra "Winners Sauce" in all their Indian takeaways now!

....got a problem with that call-logger or are you a chav shafter?

[call-logger] 20/1/2007 20:24

She makes Saddam Hussein look like a jesuit priest

Hmmm.

[smelgy] 20/1/2007 19:25

.......dogs like Goody should be put down. What a country we have descended to when ignoramuses like her can be worth £8m and decent people struggle on day-to day.

She makes Saddam Hussein look like a jesuit priest. I hope she loses every penny she has made and ends up destitute on a council estate where she belongs with her vile vacuous chav friends.

[hijeff] 20/1/2007 18:47

just goes to show how low we've sunk.ignorant nobodys can become famous,and the british public buys into it.

[uplighter] 20/1/2007 18:42

Her perfume removed from stores.

Mmm, Essence of Chav - ' A fragrant and elegant distillation of perspiration and flatulence, with a lingering top note of chip fat'.

norm eps 07 2.73, 08 2.79 according to HS.


ps, no longer hold, best wishes to those still in.

[escondido] 04/1/2007 14:30

Good to see the positive sentiment here. Have a small interest in omg, and thinking of increasing stake. Anybody have any idea of forecast eps for 07/08?

nice steady rise.

[dynamix] 02/1/2007 20:11

sold out today in two batches

a very handsome profit

regards and good luck all still holding.

Target 100p. Check out EPS growth, PE ratio, Chart Breakout and the fact Gartmore mopped up all the stock @ 50p...

Make up your own minds but the charts are on fire.!!!



Oscar-winning motion capture systems being leveraged for UAV studies

MIT and Boeing Use Real-Time VICON Motion Tracking to Test Performance and Maintenance

2006-12-12--VICON, developer of Academy Award-winning motion capture systems, announced that the company's technology is being leveraged for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) studies, an important developing arena in the field of aeronautical engineering.

UAVs are already deployed to perform a variety of tasks in the place of manned vehicles and planes. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and The Boeing Company's Phantom Works advanced research and development group are using VICON to examine and demonstrate algorithms needed to sustain and maintain coordinated flights and missions by an intelligent multi-unit airborne fleet.

Currently, eighteen VICON cameras are providing high-speed, high-resolution motion tracking for the project, which is being conducted with miniature quadrotors in MIT's Aerospace Controls Lab. This indoor flight testbed uses the real-time 3D position and orientation data captured by the VICON cameras to help stabilize and control the vehicles during flight operations.

"Here in the lab, we are using VICON to understand how you can get fully autonomous vehicles to work together and to evaluate what is needed to maintain health and maintenance for these vehicles on coordinated and sustained real-world missions in the field," said Jonathan How, Aeronautics and Astronautics Professor at MIT. "The VICON system was chosen because the project needs a tracking system that works indoors and provides accurate and detailed measurements, such as altitude and pitch, in real time."

The real-time performance of the VICON system has been essential because the 3D capture data is not analyzed later but used literally on the fly. The MIT team says that an extremely important property of the sensor system is that it demonstrates a very high level of robustness.

"Using the VICON system, we can accurately determine and track the location and orientation of each UAV during multi-vehicle experiments," said Mario Valenti, MIT.

The lab also benefits from rapid prototyping using VICON, with the ability to run many trials from the same setup to try out a variety of technical ideas. "We can fly our aircraft missions as many times as we want – the sky really is the limit!" Valenti said.

dont sell too soon. I think this has got the strength to run for a while yet.

[daza70] 29/12/2006 11:32

nice breakout looks good for 70p soon!

[thenaughtyboy] 15/12/2006 16:29

From the last contract win:

"The pilot studies continue with other potential customers and the
response has been very encouraging"

nothings going on, only theres not much stock and people still want a piece of the action even at this price

[thenaughtyboy] 15/12/2006 16:01

In the party too....

EPS growth is fantastic :)
