Qualcomm CEO outed as a trekkie

There is nothing illegal about being a trekkie these days, of course, and at the INQ we believe that what people do in the privacy of their own homes is their own business, provided that it doesn't harm anyone. However, the more scurrilous yellow press have been making much of the news that he was the former lead Trekkie of the Star Fleet Club of La Jolla.

His name is listed as a point of contact in a Star Trek bible, namely the catalogue: "The Complete Guide to the Fantastic World of Star Trek".

Many journalists have suspected for a long time that the company's press releases are written in Klingon, and boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. However, there is nothing here to suggest Jacob's dark secret.

We understand there are many business rivals who would pay good money for a snapshot of Jacobs in a StarFleet uniform and we would like to see one just for a laugh. µ
