Today at Blackberry

by mex

The Verge’s Nilay Patel</a< dug up this Nugget below

So my head canon for this would be:

Blackberry’s executives were sitting around a table, debating what to do now after they ruined 98% of the companies’ products and brand and then somebody said, hey we actually worked on stuff and had some ideas at some point, right? Before we fired all the engineers, sooooo, let’s just go on a patent trolling rampage…

And then they got some poor patent lawyer and told him to file a complaint for (un)read-count on an icon…

Ummmm BlackBerry is suing Facebook for infringing a patent that claims to cover…. displaying a count of unread messages on a notification dot. pic.twitter.com/sGqetm6qbH
