Crack is whack!

The ongoing and oft-discussed battle between Research-in-Motion and NTP regarding the Blackberry and its alleged patent infringement has finally settled. Despite the fact that the Patent and Trademark Office has shown that there is some question to the merit of NTP’s patents, Research-in-Motion agreed to pay NTP approximately $612 million to avoid having to shut down its Blackberry service and/or switch to a recently and hurriedly developed new system.

Of course, the result of this lawsuit is that the Crackberry service will continue uninterrupted. This means that you must continue to be on the lookout, when walking down the hallways of your office, for the person so engrossed in the e-mail they are reading or thumb-typing that they have no idea they are about the run you down. God bless modern technology.
