It might interest people to know that there is a real company called Palantir Technologies, Inc., set up in 2004. Its website can be found here:
http://www.palantir.com/
Among its products are 'Palantir Government' and 'Palantir Finance'.

It also hosts 'Palantir Night Live', a speaker series in which it brings in '
prominent speakers from the technical world, the national security community, and various other domains to engage in small forums with friends of Palantir on topics of significance and common interest':

I'm very sure that this would
not have happened if Fëanor had still been CEO!
