RIM - The Whole Story

Posted by Zonk on from the better-than-pirates-of-silicon-valley dept.

khendron writes "The Globe and Mail has published an article titled Patently Absurd, detailing the whole history of the RIM vs. NTP wireless war. It is a blow by blow account of how a dispute that could have been settled for a few million dollars is now 'a billion-dollar dagger hanging over RIM.' The article reads like a fairy-tale of egos, legal blunders, and patent stupidity."

    The only screwup in this fiasco is RMI. They ahd an opportunity to settle but they thought they were smarter and bigger and could ignore NTP. They deserve to be obliterated as a result. This will teach those stupid Canadians to respect our authority.

    I get the feeling you are only supporting NTP because they are American and RIM is Canadian. Why dont you take your bigoted attitude and stick it up your ass. Don't forget to pull your head out first to make some room.
