Layoffs begin at RIM, report claims

Do you work for RIM? You are a little to pissed to just be a fan.

Spazz. Ur good for a laugh. Thing is, I’m laughing at u. I am absolutely positive now that you twitch and spit as u yell at the screen when u type. Admit it. U do that don’t u. Yeah u do. True story™©®

Apparently RIM is perfect & have NO problems! Or maybe, your head is in the sand with its bosses. lol

 Shoot, you should have cut your losses and got something else

Remember when BGR was reporting the Storm may be the iPhone killer?

Yeah they were the ferrari when there was no competition and people didn’t care about smartphones.

The CEOs shouldn’t be board members. 

The reason that they have 2 CEO’s is because Jim B, violated the law and as settlement he had to agree to stop being the CEO.

Yes. Everyone will fall except apple. The mothership has anti gravity
technology. The soon to be first trillion dollar company. Can we vote
apple for president? True story™©®

I always knew SJ was an alien.  No lie. (hehe)

That’s not true all the time.  In many industries the same company remains among the best and has been that way for a very long time.  The may not always have the same growth but they have sustained and that’s the key.  If a company continues to adapt to the market and offer new and exciting products they don’t have to come down, they may just have to share it with someone else.

Let’s agree it’s not true most of the time.  I can’t think of any high profiled corporation in high profiled industries that has sustained its number 1 status for a long time.  This is especially true in the high tech industry.  Think of any high tech companies that are currently remotely successful or was until recently.  IBM, DELL, Apple, Microsoft, Cisco, Lucent…you name it and they’ve all fallen on hard times.  Some of them have reinvented themselves and prospered and others stayed the course and perished.  Which way will RIM go?  Hard to say but RIM is making the right acquisitions and making the effort to keep up.  RIM just needs to make another critical acquisition – a new leader with a non-partisan view.  Also maybe some strategic partnerships…

I don’t disagree.  And I don’t think necessarily keep the number 1 status but not fall in oblivion is what I mean.   For any company.  Certain companies will always remain as the key or top in what they do because it’s that entrenched in society.  For instance, Microsoft.  I don’t care how many awful OS versions they put out and how “cool” Mac OS is and how good Chrome OS is, neither Apple or Google will probably never take down Microsoft.  And if they do it will be such a long time.  Having said that, that’s not to say that Apple or Google wouldn’t get market share close to Microsoft, just merely saying that it would be hardpressed to see Microsoft fall into oblivion.  So the theory that “what goes up must come down” doesn’t always apply in business.  McDonalds will always be the best selling fast food joint, Walmart will be the retail chain and there are plenty others that either maintain supremacy for a very long time OR manage to stay very relevant even through the most changing times.  That’s all I’m saying.  It’s hard for us to look at the mobile industry and say that because up until 4-5 years ago, people didn’t care.  But it’s surely possible.

Greatness.. All he does is leave  pictures of male reproductive organs and make 1990s comments about peoples moms.   No where in his thoughtless TURD STORY rants does he ever come up with a rational thought.

Fully agree.  I waiting in line that cold november morning for a Storm.  I was so hyped to get one hoping it would be the “iPhone killer”.  Man was I wrong in the most possible way.  That phone literally made me so disgusted with RIM that I went iPhone.  And RIM has done nothing since to even think about going back.

You think there’ll be a bidding war?

I don’t know.  Not sure how google feels about getting into the hardware business.  I couldn’t see them making their own hardware while at the same time letting other companies put their software on potentially better hardware.  That would hurt their hardware sales.  So I’m not sure they want to do that.  They are probably perfectly happy letting all the hardware manufacturers pop out new Android devices each month while they sit back and collect money.  Just my thought though.  

Could be a bidding war.  I was thinking about this more, and I think Google, Microsoft, Apple, and even HP (and heck, even Nokia) could all stand to gain from that acquisition.  I dunno how much any of those companies will be in the hardware side of RIM, but from a software standpoint, as much as RIM is lagging behind overall, their security and management features are still on a completely different level from all other smartphone platforms.  It would probably mesh well with Apple, since they’re also proprietary by nature, and would probably love to more fully secure their products for enterprise use (and to lock out jailbreakers, if possible).  And Google REALLY needs help in the data security department.  Not sure how they could merge the security features without losing the openness of the platform, but if nothing else, they could probably continue with the Blackberry as a separate line while they figure out how to bring Android up to speed.

hows bout you wash it down with boyfriends jizz?
