Most people don't want to live in 3rd world countries. Why do people expect programmers to be Jesus? When doctors, plumbers, daycare workers, and bus drivers start targeting the 3rd world market I will too. I'm getting really sick of all th

I appreciate your opinion but I downvoted you because you said "This." The "This." meme contributes nothing to the post and is the worst kind of contentless bandwagonism. "This." is lazy and degrades the quality of the site in general.

I don't think they should abandon the consumer market. They should just focus on the enterprise. There are lots of wannabes in the consumer market who will pay a premium to get "the #1 executive phone in the world" RIM has always been a one

This is what RIM is going to do because thats the type of company they are. Their management style is perfectly suited to sell stuff to shallow people based on an exclusive image. This is something they CAN do. , and while it won't change t

This isn't a real senior person. This is some idiot with a senior title who doesn't have a clue about business. He sounds like an ancient engineer who got slowly promoted and wishes he worked for Apple.

Good decisions aren't a function of how much time you think about them. There is no correlation between the time taken for a decision and the quality of the decision. None.

You're just being pessimistic. The question is not "What is the future of mobile computing?" The question is "How does RIM make as much money as possible with their resources?" RIM can't compete on merit, so their best strategy is to do wha

Since this is exploiting someone's brand to boost your own brand, I sure hope that the courts eventually rule it as trademark infringement. Having said that, some businesses will likely go for this, and the legal penalties will probably be

The amount of skill, devotion and intelligence it takes to be a geek is far higher than the rewards, especially when you take into account stuff like prestige. Even well paid geeks like Zuckerberg are treated in a condescending way. Without

There are a lot of names missing. From my quick scan I don't see any of the well-connected old players signing on to that document. The omissions speak more loudly than the inclusions. This does not look like a politically influential list

There's nothing wrong with MobileMe or .Mac (they both have bad names -- thats the biggest issue) They weren't huge sweeping successes because they didn't have enough features and cost a LOT. But the features they did have worked well. Mobi
