Uh, it's Jack Layton, not Leighton. Svend 'It has a "d"' Robinson was a back-bencher on the NDP and isn't currently an MP, having resigned in 2004 and lost in the 2006 election after that theft scandal. Trudeau's DEAD, dude. He died about 4 years ago. Trudeau's son isn't even officially in politics. Joe Clark was about 25 years ago. He's not really anyone now.

Frankly, I don't think you know anything at all or are qualified to talk about Canadian politics. Full stop.

RIM Strikes Back, Files Countersuit Against Visto 83

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday May 04, 2006 @11:04PM from the retributive-strikes dept.

SilentOne writes "Research In Motion Ltd. launched an all-out assault on competitors yesterday, countersuing its latest legal nemesis and introducing software to pre-empt imminent launches by other challengers. The countersuit also gives RIM a chance to move the patent battle to a courtroom where it has a better chance of beating Visto. Visto filed suit against RIM on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division, which reportedly favours patent holders in 92% of cases heard by the court. Jim Balsillie, RIM's co-chief executive, said the company wants the trial moved to the Dallas area, where RIM's U.S. headquarters are located, for practical reasons. Meanwhile, RIM is giving away a free software package, valued at US$3,000, to hook the e-mail accounts of small businesses and consumers up to BlackBerries instead of competitive devices from Palm and Microsoft."
