Apple for the day

Salvador Rodriguez has an article in the Los Angeles Times about a lawsuit by the hapless Blackberry:

BlackBerry is kicking off 2014 by suing Typo, an iPhone keyboard case company partly funded by television celebrity Ryan Seacrest. The Canadian tech company announced the lawsuit Friday, saying Typo is blatantly copying its hardware and infringing on its patents.
Typo made headlines last month after it was reported that Seacrest invested more than a million dollars in the company. The company has been taking $99 preorders for its iPhone cases, and is set to begin shipping them out this month. The keyboard on the Typo case resembles the physical keyboards found on many BlackBerry smartphones.
Typo's website says: "The Typo Keyboard was born out of a desire for efficiency. For several years, many of our friends and colleagues carried two phones: one for typing and correspondence and an iPhone for virtually everything else."
Although Typo doesn't name the other smartphone, it's pretty obvious it's referencing BlackBerry, especially since Seacrest is known for using both an iPhone and a BlackBerry.
"We are flattered by the desire to graft our keyboard onto other smartphones, but we will not tolerate such activity without fair compensation for using our intellectual property and our technological innovations,” said BlackBerry General Counsel and Chief Legal Officer Steve Zipperstein in a statement.
Typo could not be reached for comment.

Rico says he can be reached for comment, of course, and it's this: he wouldn't use either a BlackBerry or this pathetic imitation with a gub to his head...
