Milpitas, California-based PTEC designs, develops, and supports core
system software ("CSS"), or BIOS systems, for personal computers and
other computing devices. It also licenses software developer kits for
the development of software applications built on its CSS platform.
A week ahead of earnings, PTEC unveiled a new product called FailSafe.
"With FailSafe, PC OEM partners can embed an innovative command and
control system into the PC core firmware to track, control, and recover
lost or stolen mobile PCs. Users can encrypt, lock and even destroy
data on lost laptops to protect sensitive or private information.
Information on the laptop can also be encrypted to prevent data theft
resulting from stolen laptops. As a result, consumers, small business
owners, and IT managers can remotely manage mobile PCs, much like
mobile phones are managed, through an intuitive Web interface," the
company said.
Sean Ginevan of Network Computing magazine compared FailSafe to Absolute Software's LoJack for PCs.

CRDC; I was in meetings all morning and totally missed the sell-off. I thought about putting in a stop first thing this morning just in case, but how this stock has been flying around during the day, I didn't want to get stopped out for a few cents. My weighted average cost is $11.07/share.
Anyway, I was not thinking this was a buy-out prospect with them filing that shelf offering, but now I'm thinking they will.
