wtf was the "Qualcomm Chief" doing walking around with secrets of that severity, much less on a laptop, on a podium in a HOTEL CONFERENCE ROOM ??????????
As with "A. Melon," you apparently don't bother to read the news.
Jacobson was giving a talk, using his laptop for the talk, and stepped away for a few moments to talk to some journalists.
One can learn from his mistake, but the thrust of your comments, "walking around with secrets of that severity..." is way off-base.
Folks, if you don't read the news, or watch it on CNN and CNBC and the like, please don't feel compelled to add foolish remarks.

Bad move. Apart from the insider trading sort of info that might be present on the machine maybe the most interesting thing would be e-mail or specs relating to LE access to communications systems. Maybe some generous thief will forward some good material to John.
