There's a hearing on an injunction for blackberry service today. I always thought there's no way the plaintiff can win on a balancing-of-harms analysis, but I heard RIM has been completely PITA in this litigation and pissed the judge off. The injunction might be the only way to bring them to heel, but still, I can't imagine how the harm of going without the injunction outweighs the harm of granting it. Plus I know the news articles are completely in the dark about this stuff, so I don't trust them to accurately represent the actual danger of the injunction.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

The reason that RIM is being such a PITA is that they want to drag this thing out for as long as possible, to give the PTO time to invalidate NTP's patents, which they're in the process of doing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not a patterny person. Sometimes, when I give in to patterns, it helps to go into the deep end. This shirt will be cracking me up all day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good lord, ita! That is fun.

That is quite the shirt, ita.

When you described it, I couldn't figure it out .

There must be a mouse on the loose. I just heard a scream from down the hall that can only be described as a mouse! right there! scream.

That's the pattern that everyone wants me to paint my walls, isn't it?

POLKA DOTS! Though I think that may just be me, Tom.

It would complement your eyes, Tom.
