And the award for Most Useless News Alert goes to . . .
. . . CNN, for this pearl of wisdom that just showed up in my inbox:
A long running dispute that threatened to shut down the BlackBerry wireless e-mail service has been settled.
How has it been settled? In whose favor? By what means? Is the settlement confidential? I understand that organizations distributing breaking news need to strike a balance between speed and precision/accuracy (the friend who first informed me of the 9/11 attacks described them as a “bombing,” which was only correct in a highly technical sense), but I think some delay was clearly warranted here.
