Yes indeed, I can never miss out on using that double entendre, but with Research in Motion now flailing like Nortel in 2000 (I SAID IT! I MEANT IT!), what does this mean for Canada’s latest Tech Darling? I know a lot of folks who are at RIM, so I am not wishing the company bad luck, but they certainly did hire a lot of movers, shakers and sycophants from the Nortel Middle and Upper Management chain, I have to wonder. Is this the end? I have no idea, but I think tough times are ahead for them, and given I keep seeing notes on Facebook about BlackBerry outages, I gotta wonder?
This past week, my Twittering was across the board, given the diverse (read scatter brained) postings I made for the week:
- I haven’t used it much but with Sunday Banking, I wondered whether it would last, and it has at my local TD branch that is for sure.
- Given I talked about employment on Monday, I managed to show my twitter peeps what it was like in 2010 with Unemployment and Employment August 2010.
- Given the issues that arose from me procrastinating on computers Procrastination and Finances, I point out that sometimes procrastination works, and sometimes it costs us (yes I DO mean money).
- I went into my archive of sarcasm with Dumber than Snake Mittens, which I still love to read every once in a while.
- Remember that time and hindsight are cruel mistresses and with Twenty Years ago is a Long Time, I point out how they have beaten on me pretty hard. Oh and 13 days after that post I was laid off by Nortel.
Blackberry is losing out its charm among users as there are lot of smart phones available now in market to give RIM a tough fight. I hope the company starts looking out futuristic now.
it’s just a pity that this week, RIM blackberrys have stopped working in parts of Europe and the USA due to datacenter problems!
Haha I almost died when I read the headline… I think RIM do still have a HUGE business following. As long as they come out with something special it shouldn’t be too hard for them to find a niche to profit from.
Might be funnier if your grammar was correct.
Normally I enjoy your posts, but I’m disappointed by your crude remarks in such a public forum. Save them for parties.
Hey sometimes I just gotta let things like this fly… apologies if you felt they were inappropriate, but sometimes smut is called for especially with Research in Motion.
