Breakfast briefing: Nokia takes on Apple while Amazon fires up thanks to Kindle

Nokia put the cat among the pigeons by announcing that it was suing Apple for patent infringement. A failed agreement between the two over some licenses for using some Nokia systems for wireless protocols puts around £7 an iPhone. I'd expect Apple to pay up quietly - but it's bad timing by Nokia on the back of its recent struggles.

• What's going on with Amazon? The company announced remarkably strong financial results on Thursday, saying that the Kindle was now the most popular item it sold and that it expected Christmas to be even better. Recession, what recession?

• Time for the weekend, and here's a little something to keep you going until Monday - or at least the next 30 seconds. OK, it is only going to apply to those of you who (like me) get a little obsessive about just HOW AMAZING the technologies used in TV programmes like CSI manages to be. But it's still bloody funny.
