I mean, if BB has 70 other companies must have like what only 30. I can't imagine Apple has more than 30.

Pinterest Mom posted:John Chen is a distinguished and proven leader in the technology industry. Prior to joining BlackBerry, he served as Chairman and CEO of Sybase Inc., where he developed and led the company’s re-invention from a mature, slower-growth technology company into a $1.5 billion-plus high-growth innovator. Under his direction, Sybase became the leading provider of enterprise mobility and mobile commerce solutions, achieving 55 consecutive quarters of profitability. And was then sold to SAP

Pinterest Mom posted:I join the many, many people across Canada calling on him to apologize and explain why he chose to use derogatory references to people with disabilities in a petition ostensibly about technology. We are dismayed by Mr. Qaadri’s behavior that reflects poorly on all of Canada – and especially to Canadians with disabilities who are incredible contributors to the nation. Bonzo posted:Qaadri called the assembly's policy "handicapping, retarding and penalizing MPPs" — much to the ire of Harris, who thought his use of language was inappropriate. goddamn thats tumblr-level outrage

blackberry is secure* *as long as you trust blackberry not to intentionally or otherwise compromise their encryption keys. you know, like they have multiple times already whenever an oppressive government asks them nicely. maybe their new business model can be selling state secrets from all the shitlords still using blackberry infrastructure in tyool 2015

Mister Macys posted:is blackberry Huawei's picture of Dorian Grey, since Huawei went from android rimpho knockoff company to east asian mobile powerhouse? huawei is literally run by the Chinese military with the goal of replacing western telecom equipment filled with western espionage backdoors with Chinese made equipment with home grown backdoors, and not just in the domestic market. BlackBerry was actually built to be secure and later compromised when smacked in the face with the realty of governments. remember when the pushed literal spyware to everyone's phone in some Arabian country (Bahrain?)

quote:Virtually every one of the 1 million Storm phones shipped in 2008 needed replacing, Verizon’s chief marketing officer, John Stratton, told Mr. Balsillie. Many of the replacements were being returned as well. Storm was a complete failure, and Mr. Stratton wanted RIM to pay. lol.

SIGSEGV posted:there was the pearl that would erase messages at random when running out of memory i had one and it was worse than that. it would receive the message, confirm to the carrier that you received the message, flash the 'new message' icon for a split second without lighting up the notification led or playing a noise and immediately delete it. it would do this for every incoming message until you realized it was happening and restart the phone. oh and while using the phone it gave no indication that anything was wrong. everything still functioned like normal. i had a span of several days in college where i thought i hosed up somehow because everyone was ignoring me and everyone thought i was a dick for not responding to anything.

that article is a bit too derogatory towards the iphone it makes it sound as if their downfall was mainly to bad luck instead of selling lovely products for their whole business career even while some comes along with something decent.
