Government Comes to Aid of Crackberry Addicts

Government Enters Fray Over BlackBerry Patents, Washington Post

“The Justice Department has filed a legal brief in a patent dispute, asking a federal court to delay any immediate shutdown of the popular wireless e-mail system to ensure that state and federal workers can continue to use their devices.”

Editor’s note: NASA certainly counts itself as having a large number of crackberry addicts. While these little things are very useful – its not as if they are the only handheld devices on the market which can be used to send/receive email. Its great to see normally innovation averse government employees using state of the art consumer products – but it is troubling when they become collectively addicted to one particular product – one which may disappear.
