It’s fascinating what you learn when you read these things. Again, from Palm’s S-1: “Over the last twelve months, there have been several thefts of computer equipment from us and our employees. This computer equipment has contained proprietary information. We have formulated a security plan to reduce the risk of any future thefts and have cooperated with state and federal law enforcement officials in an investigation of past incidents. We may not be successful in preventing future thefts, or in preventing those responsible for past thefts from using our technology to produce competing products. The unauthorized use of Palm technology by competitors could have a material adverse effect on our ability to sell our products in some markets.”
