It's not only about deaths. Injuries (I imagine many are life changing) are important also. But then I don't think there are that many injuries from shark attacks either. So what's the point? It's the perceived feeling o

I've been using BB 10 for over 2 years and none of what you say resonates with me. Where do you get spam alerts from? I presume you don't mean emails but I don't even get promotional emails from BlackBerry and don't reme

What would you buy instead? This is my 3rd Macbook (best in terms of hardware, bar the display issue and worst in terms of software - too many glitches) and I'm really looking for an alternative when I next replace it.
