Irwin Jacobs left his laptop unattended for 20 minutes in the ballroom of a Californian hotel. Only minutes before, he had told an audience of US business reporters that the computer contained information which may be of interest to foreign governments.

Qualcomm is in the midst of spinning off its chip business to focus on digital wireless and satellite technologies.

Police are treating the incident as theft.
