  3. If Aptina was getting ready for an IPO or getting bought wouldn't they be making lots of press releases with marcom-gone-wild? Companies that need to prop up their share price need to make lots of PR announcements. It is the Wall Street rule.

  4. What IS Aptina doing? I've heard that they are thinking about how to shut the business down without too much disruption to customers.
    I was looking for Aptina revenue to Micron in the Micron earnings report but couldn't find anything.
