I've been out of the country for a month, so I haven't seen the
Financial Post since early July.

I'll have to take a look to verify that the story was in there.

The Financial Post is *not* some "small publication that only the
poster subscribes to;" it's one of the three financial newspapers
that the multinational company that I'm currently consulting at
receives on a daily basis.  More particularly, it's one of the
top two national papers in Canada.  (The Globe and Mail being
the other one.  I prefer the Globe, myself.)

The fact that names at Motorola weren't named could just be that
the spokespeople prefer to get less harassment from outside.
