Down with Blackberries and down with technology.. No that's not right, but my question is- How many of the government employees working at the Patent Office and DOJ are using Blackberries? I wonder how many emails concerning this subject were sent back and forth from employees of the Patent Office/DOJ before they realized they could not function without it? I know in the in my organization, you cant make a decision or issue guidance unless its sent from a Blackberry! I know this is off the subject but I had to say it anyway!

Two Things
Two things bother me about the DOJ's injunction. First, if our legal system's decision in late February is less than favorable for RIM, why should there be a requirement to continue providing service to those devices used by government employees? Do our government offices need this service more than the offices of Wall Street? Second, I understand that, since the introduction of this tool, certain routines have developed. However, it's still just a tool. The slight inconvenience of going to back to the days of your cell phone and desktop E-mail is not worth more government involvement. I think that the U.S. Patent Office can handle this one.
