Blackberry Whine?

Won't Washington come to a screeching halt?

BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. was dealt another legal setback in a key patent infringement case on Wednesday, raising pressure to settle or face a possible shutdown of its U.S. mobile e-mail service.

...Spencer said he would request briefs and set a hearing date to deal with NTP's request for damages against RIM and an injunction that would halt U.S. sales of the BlackBerry and shut its service.

Even better -- they are issuing those things at work. I'm expecting to get one thrown at me, and this lawsuit may save me some problems.
