Stay Away from Diadexfucks

It's really fun to check in on this thread every couple of months, but it's sad to read. I wish things would pan out for the good people at DDX, but there are too few of them to overcome the bad ones. The company still has a lot of promise in it's Intellectual Property, but mistake after mistake in strategy and execution have ruined it's promise. My guess is some biotech will eventually buy them out on the cheap and make something out of it. Until then, DDX could be a "Harvard business case" on how to run a good idea into the ground and waste millions in the process. I'm glad I'm not there any more.

I could not agree more with you. I have accepted my offer and will have the pleasure of resigning soon. Taking a break for a week or 2 first. I have spoken to a couple others like me also. Expect next wave of Resigns shortly. By the time Dino executes his plan of taking PP's job there will be nothing left but the IP. Over/under line is set-- DDX sells for 50-60mm. should have been 1BB. Dino fails again, what a loser. PP just has no common sense or grace.
 




My ship's comin' in BABY!!!!

I'm just waiting for my check to arrive!!! I understand it's coming real soon, much sooner than that IPO. I'm already thinkin' up plenty of ideas on how to spend the MOOOOoooLLLLAAAAAaaa! New Blackberry, higher octane gas for my Yugo, home internet access instead of free coffee shop wifi, real leather wingtips instead of those vinyl boats I've been wearing.

PP:

we should have posted a "Beware of Dog" sign when you brought in "the failure" Dino. Always remember go to bed with flee bitten mutt.... wake up itching and scratching....

Maybe not to late for flee powder before he swallows your meaningless job. You could bomb his office for flees and other annoying pests.

you reap what you sew pp
 




Titanddx hits iceberg again but keeps sailing after losin 20% ( Another rif today) more of the staff and crew. Only survivors are Gilligan (Dino), Mr. Howe (PP) r***** professor
(Foster) Mrs Howe ( Canklegirl SS)

Keep firing people instead of firing on all cylinders PP. Dino pushing hard for 4th company closure and failure. Hope he cut that deal with Thailland, and Istanbul; that should help. Can't wait til mtg this week.
 




BC is building an empire over here just like he did at KOS, that is what he does best. When he sees talent he goes after it and he is a great judge of that, just take a look at the history of the NE over the past 4yrs nothing but success. One thing i will say I would not want to fuck with him because he is a lot smarter than you think. High stakes poker and he is sitting with pocket ACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is Bill doing these days. I wouldnt be surprised to see him on the ESPN poker tournament with all those aces.

Whats with the itchy dog and fleas comments each year?
 








Jeez, what is that 3 RIFs in the last year? Trying anything at all to reach profitability?


I was standing between dino and sarah at the urinal last week on a break and overheard the latest plan to save ddx. i feel more confident now, about the company and my package. JPete cleaned our pipes before the break was over. Things are looking up

[look at website now and Q2 results. What a joke. Tests sales dropping, employee morale low, all kind of weak spin to try to perfume the pig and they need more money.

PP why not walk around with a hat on streets of sf?
Dino, another failure, at least you are consistent.
Maybe a fourth quarter RIF will help.

Its fun to watch, its like the Special Olympics.
 




Stock Options or beer buzz?

Seriously, how many of you have (or plan on) exercising your stock options? When (if even likely) do you think you might be able to sell at a profit? 2009? 2010? Never? Given the press releases about Fisher and most recently PSS, would the money be better spent on beer and hot wings at Hooters? Please advise.

Indiana Jones got canned now. Disn't Sara( can I get another slice of cake) S recommend he quit his job and come over??? And shameless Dino say he was salvation to the Harvard Grad? I guess even dressing up like an idiot and being a lapdog to DA isn't enough.
Maybe they can tap into the deep talent pool for a rep[lacement, like Strazza or Peterson or better yet a circus clown.

British translation for Diadexus=Bullshit in a test kit.
 




Crestor News: Ridker rides the wave again!

Crestor has been in the news all week, online, print, and television. Ridker's test is receiving a lot of free publicity associated with the latest Crestor news. However, I haven't read or heard a word about the PLAC Test. No surprise here. Sad.
 








Sixth round of funding

diaDexus Inc., a South San Francisco-based developer of a blood test for the prediction of cardiovascular disease, has raised around $9.2 million in Series F funding, according to a regulatory filing. Listed shareholders include Scale Venture Partners, GlaxoSmithKline and Baker Brothers Advisors.

The company previously raised around $170 million since 2000, from the above firms, Burrill & Co., Rho Ventures, Bain Capital’s Brookside Fund and Mosaix Ventures. This included a $40 million Series E round in late 2006.

Good luck to all!
 




Where did Dr. Lanman go?

Is Dr. Rick Lanman gone? Obama ought to have Dr. Rick replace Sanjay Gupta as Surgeon General. Then, Dino would be a shoe-in to replace Nancy Killefer, who recently resigned as President Obama's Chief Performance Officer. Of course, if Obama opens up a new role for Chief of Style on his cabinet, Bob would be a natural, given his extensive Hawaiian shirt collection.
 








Mayo and Quest pulled the automated PLAC test due to QC concerns but LabCorp and Atherotech are still performing the test. I think the departure of Rick Lanman is significant.
 




LOL, The departure of Rick Lanman DOES say something. His Departure as well as EVERYONE else that mattered!!! This dog doesn't even bark, it whimpers in a corner. You know the movie, ALL DOGS GO TO HEAVEN. They havent met the DOGS at DIADEXUS.
