RIM Crippling BlackBerry Bluetooth Speed?

Alex King writes " I organized a bounty for the creation of a 'BlackBerry as a modem' solution for Mac OS X earlier this year. The resulting product — Pulse, from Brain Murmurs — allows you to use your BlackBerry as a standard Bluetooth modem. It works great on both Windows and Mac. Current problem: The Pulse solution doesn't run as fast as it used to. Brain Murmurs did a bunch of testing and working with their users and found the problem: RIM has crippled the Bluetooth speeds in recent OS upgrades. Is this a 'mistake' on RIM's side that will be fixed? Or did they do this on purpose for some reason?"

    ----Ever notice in the NFL that when a black DE or DT sacks a white quarterback they try to cripple him, end his career, take his head off. But when they sack a black qb they take it easy on him, handle him with kid gloves and even help him up after they've tackled him? ;-) Anyway getting back on topic. The reason black girls/black guys aren't as freaky as you would think is that they aren't. Hell, most black guys make love like Perry Como sings, they get in this slow groove like they're about to not expend ONE MORE OUNCE of energy then they have to. This sterotype that black people fuck like wild savages is a myth started by white plantation owners who'd hear the black woman's shrieks of extasy or possible terror as she was more or less forced to be paired with the biggest and most prolific buck the plantation owner would pair her with, in other words an arranged tryst, usually not by choice. The buck in question usually hadn't had sex in quite a long time so he was easily stimulated so it made for one wild sex scene but this was far from the norm. Although many black people are more at ease and unhibited in dancing,etc when it comes to sex most are very conservative. Ask most black guys if they eat pussy or black girls if they give head and they'll tell you 'hell no'. I've talked to many black guys who love white girls for the frequency and readiness they give oral sex to them. This could be because these woman have stronger self esteem/self image then their black female counterparts therefore they're more uninhibited in doing so, or that the black women have more self respect, but one thing to remember is all of the former terms I've described can only be truly defined by the individual thats applying them to themselves and not in a broad stroke of a stereotype. Anal sex is another taboo in culture. The reason black men rape white men in prisons is their ancient belief that they're taking the man's manhood. If they victim also believes that he ends up destroying himself. Ask any homosexual man if he's 100% man and he'll tell you yes. The act of anal sex can't take that away from him nor can a rape of a woman by a man destroy the woman unless she lets it. This is a very complicated and heavy issue which goes well beyond the scope of porn. Why do some porn actresses like Nina Hartley and Shanna McCullough love what they do and are healthier people for it? Why does an Alex Jordan kill herself after a handful of movies? Why does a Janet Jacme refuse to do a lesbian scene? Why did Careena Collins only exclusively have sex with black males? Are they better at sex or is it her belief that makes it so? Why is Lex Steele rock hard when peforming with a Jewel DeNyle but on the limp side when performing with a black starlet? Why do I think China Barbi, the half Chinese/half Jamaican porn slut is the hottest thing since sliced bread but Patrick Riley wouldn't give her the time of day? BELIEF'S. As Napoleon Hill said "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve". So in other words you are what you BELIEVE!!!

    With all of our previous phones, we would lock them and if my son picked them up it would be no big deal. Now, we are forced to either have our phones on us at all time, or put them on the top of the fridge or some other extremely inaccessible place.

    Of course it's RIM's fault you lack the parenting skills to teach a two year old there are some things he simply does not touch.
