I forgot what happened to BlackBerry when they had two CEOs, I'll just check what phones people are using now to see if it worked out for them

I don't think BB's problem was that they had two CEOs as much as they had boomer brain and had been in their own little university educated world way too loving long to recognise what the average person wanted.

I had an uncle who very emphatically told me that the iPhone was going to be a dud when it first launched because nobody is going to want a phone without a keyboard. When I pointed out that the web browsing experience looked a million times better on the iPhone his response was "yeah but its going to be terrible at typing up emails"

Happy to announce that mclaren has solved their problem of poor technical direction by firing their executive technical director and replacing him with a team of three executive technical directors.

Brutal story about Schumacher's wife. If only she could do something simple to end all the suffering like pull a plug

A picture of Eddie Jordan captioned with "Look at me" would say as much as that article does .

Having 3 people in charge of technology is probably not the best idea as far as the cost cap goes. Obviously what they were doing wasn't working though, so whatevs.

That's how they got there, but how they died is because there's two of them fighting over direction and it basically becomes two companies. One that doesn't want to make what the other thinks will work, and one that doesn't want to sell what the other is making.
As Just-In-Timeberlake points out, Losing the Signal is a surprisingly fun read.

Maybe the reason that Corinna didn't let Eddie visit Michael was because he is a rent-a-gob for tabloid gutter press and would immediately blab to whoever paid him the vaguest bit of attention :thunk:

Hey!! It worked at Mercedes..... Now hear me out....

They had 3, and then after a bit chopped it down to 1, and then they won 8 straight constructors championships and 7 straight drivers championships.

Big brain move from Zac "Mega Mind" Brown!
