Stardate 20010919.2256 (On Screen): Your market share is deteriorating. One of the largest and most successful companies in the world, one known for rapaciousness and ruthlessness, with a thousand times the resources you have, is eagerly eyeing your market and has introduced a product which threatens to take it from you. You've made missteps and had to bury millions of dollars of unsellable product in a pit. Things are looking bad. What do you do?
Well, if you're Palm, you proceed to go out and threaten trademark-infringement lawsuits against all the people who are running fan websites for your product, who had been providing free advertising for you and support for your users, thereby alienating them all and driving them into the waiting arms of Microsoft. Good work! (Let it not be said that Palm hasn't taken every possible opportunity to screw up. When it goes OOB, this one won't be Microsoft's fault.) (discuss)
