Well said Jef.
My Thurs prediction, 11/4 and the "7 factor" is more fur fun. This place gets tense, and a little joshing around is good for the soul.
Yes, I'd like to see one or more go to Markman, and Nokia would be my choice if only one.
With reference to settlements, at the 2008 SHM, RP said this regarding the TX 7: " settlements before Markman."
Bound to happen again IMO.
