Qualcomm CEO Jacobs's Laptop PC Reported Stolen at Conference --From AOl.-- Cooters Irvine, California, Sept. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Qualcomm Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Irwin Jacobs said a laptop computer containing his ``entire life'' was stolen from a hotel podium within 10 minutes after a presentation to journalists. The $4,000 International Business Machines Corp. ThinkPad PC contained about five years' worth of e-mail, spreadsheets and other files, Jacobs said. He noticed it missing from the podium when he went back to look for it after speaking with some people a few feet away in a room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Irvine, California, south of Los Angeles. The alleged theft occurred around 1 p.m. California time at a technology journalism conference organized by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. Jacobs used the computer to give a slide presentation on the business and the future of the company, which developed a wireless-phone standard and sells phone chips based on the technology. Jacobs said that while he wanted the computer back, the information on it was password-protected and was also backed up on a computer at Qualcomm's San Diego offices. Irvine Police Officer Bob Kluck said authorities are investigating the incident, and that no suspects have been identified. Sep/16/2000 18:01 ET
