this is apparently from last friday, but i only just saw it on the facebook trending thing and didn't see it posted here, so... blackberry is laying off an unspecified number of employees worldwide, apparently affecting their hardware and software teams.CBC News posted:"As the company moves into its next stage of the turnaround, our intention is to re-allocate resources in ways that will best enable us to capitalize on growth opportunities while driving toward sustainable profitability across all facets of our business," the company said in an emailed statement.

it's just kind of depressing now. if they were smart they would have bought Good a few years ago, but why start making smart decisions now?

nonono, blackberry has three instagrams of coh, implausibly. (though they also have two instagrams of debt, so they're net one instagram, which isn't bad at all)

this was already posted earlier, but this is a key bitquote:Mr. Lazaridis’s solution was Storm, a phone that was little more than a prototype in 2007. Like the iPhone, Storm featured a glass screen. Unlike Apple’s phone, it had a movable screen. Users could activate the phone’s digital keyboard by pressing the screen down, replicating the click and tactile pleasure that made BlackBerry’s physical keyboard so popular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG2xmyLE528
