> Blackberry famously let legal influence design,
Do you have a source or link for this at all for further reading? A quick search doesn't turn up anything, but it sounds like a great read
- MattGaiser 6y agoFamously might be too broad and a bias from my own experience. I went to school in Ontario and knew a bunch of Blackberry interns and employees and people generally know a lot of absurd stories about RIM. An intern who I went to school with told me about how legal once chose the colors for a dashboard he worked on as they did not want to seem to be copying some other company. A co-op complained about them being in every meeting and constantly shooting stuff down. The one written reference to it I know about was in a 2011 open letter. https://bgr.com/2011/06/30/open-letter-to-blackberry-bosses-senior-rim-exec-tells-all-as-company-crumbles-around-him/ https://bgr.com/2011/06/30/open-letter-to-blackberry-bosses-...
