Mr. Spence said Wednesday that he had not heard an ything from RIM or its lawyers about the company’s new brand. He said that Basis would continue to s eek a permanent injunction as well as damages from RIM. “Their announcement is certainly encouraging in that it looks like they are abandoning it, but it may only be temporary,” he said. The new name follows RIM’s traditional practice of naming operating systems using numbers. The opera ting system it will replace is called BlackBerry 7. ~~~~~~~~~~ <strong>NYT</strong>-1208: REPORTER'S NOTEBOOK Constantly Checking In, Without Ever Checking In .. . By HOWARD BECK For Howard Beck, the Times reporter who covered th e N.B.A. lockout, the 149-day ordeal was spent ins ide and outside some of New York's finest hotels. ===== notyet This summer and fall, I spent 156 hours in some of New York’s finest hotels. I did not sleep, or sho wer, or earn rewards points. I was not, in the ver nacular of the service industry, a “guest.” At tim es, I felt more like a hostage, subsisting on a di et of stale pizza, trail mix and anonymous sources. To be a reporter covering the N.B.A. lockout was t o enter a parallel universe, where normalcy was su spended, truth was pliable and time had no meaning . Absurdity reigned. There were news conferences at 4 in the morning, B etty White sightings, a Gregg Popovich jog-by and a cameo by former President Bill Clinton. Bargaining sessions stretched for 15 hours while w e stood on sidewalks or loitered in chilled lobbie s, or sweated in stuffy conference rooms with bad wallpaper.
Twitter turned into a newswire, a lifeline to the outside world and a catchphrase machine, all in on e. A player’s inadvertent text message became a un iversal lockout greeting: “How u?” For the dozen or so reporters who covered every me eting, it often felt like we were living in our ow n twisted reality show: “Survivor: Lockout Edition .” The show mercifully ended at 3 a.m. Nov. 26, when owners and players at last agreed to a new labor d eal, on the lockout’s 149th day. That deal is expe cted to be ratified Thursday, at yet another Midto wn hotel, the final chapter of a dizzying stakeout saga. To our great surprise, thousands of people joined us for the ride via Twitter, clicking and “retweet ing” every trivial nugget (“Talks have broken for dinner”), every news conference quote (“Enormous c onsequences”) and every punch-drunk riff by report ers (“Mutant pizza”), no matter the hour. During one late-night session at the Waldorf-Astor ia, I heard from a Twitter follower in Australia. He was just getting out of work. My friend David A ldridge of TNT said he received Twitter responses from six continents that night. Everywhere but Ant arctica, where I’m guessing the Wi-Fi is a little sketchy. Covering a professional sports labor battle can be a thankless task. No one wants to hear about mill ionaire athletes and billionaire owners fighting o ver a $4 billion pie, especially in a depressed ec onomy. The average fan wants to know only three th ings: Is it over? Who won?
