Sure, your N8 might take a great picture -- but is it about to become  
a hotbed of legal wrangling between Espoo and one of the more prolific  
research universities in the States? We love us some heady courtroom  
drama, and Pasadena's Caltech is now officially attempting to bring  
the smack down on Nokia, LG, Pantech, Toshiba, STMicroelectronics, and  
others over a total of nine patents related to sensor technology (as  
far as we can tell, lens optics aren't involved). For its troubles,  
the university wants unspecified damages for infringing on the  
intellectual property... which, if it wins, we're hoping we'll be  
poured into its Jet Propulsion Laboratory. You know, because rockets  
are awesome.
