I just found out - there will be an exception to the rule! The US Government is all about helping people. BlackBerry will be able to retain their US presence - for the government! That's congress in action! Can't balance the budget, can't win the War on Terrorism and can't even out the trade deficit with China, but the thought of not getting their email timely is unbearable. I know they were thinking of Joe Taxpayer on this move, right? They know they wouldn't be able to keep their jobs if the taxes were raised so they could chit-chat on their BlackBerries! Also, the other piece to this touching story is the sheer act of the US government's willingness to give Canadians a second chance. Sure they infringed on someone's patent (otherwise known as stealing), but, hey, they already have the BlackBerry in hand and it works wonderfully. Gotta love that! Tells you what I know - The US is so kind we help all, even Canadians. I like the fact the we Americans are so forgiving. That's the touching side of capitalism...
