Question 5: Record company executive James Roppo was arrested this week for a tech-related offense. What did he do?

Correct Answer: Reckless Twittering

According to conflicting reports, Roppo either (a) failed to tweet when instructed to by police in order to disburse an unruly mob of adolescents gathered at a mall to meet pop sensation Justin Bieber, or (b) continued to tweet that Bieber was still signing autographs after the 15-year-old had already left the building, exacerbating the near-riot. Roppo was officially charged with "endangering the welfare of a minor and obstructing government administration." Remember the good old days, when musicians got arrested for abusing drugs and driving their cars into pools?

Question 6: RIM and Motorola have just been named in a patent infringement suit filed by Klausner Technologies. What's the suit about?

Correct Answer: Visual voice mail
