"With the success of the iPod and Apple's bulging bank balance, the time has never been better for Apple to grow itself through acquisition. The thought that Apple might be interested in purchasing the struggling PDA manufacturer Palm has been floating around for a while. Steve Jobs even tried to purchase the company in the late 90s, according to the San Jose Mercury News. However, the rumor has recently gained some traction with the call by multiple investors for Palm to sell itself. Also, some key Palm employees, such as co-founder and former company president Donna Dubinsky, have previously worked with Apple."

How about "Incorrect Information" as an option?
BeOS isn't owned by Palm any more. Once such incorrect information is modded up there should be an option to mod it down other than "Off-topic."
What-if scenario brainstorming needs to be reviewed on reasons for modding up or down.
