BlackBerry Outages Across North America
TheHappyMailAdmin writes "BlackBerry service in North America is out: no email, no BB Messenger and no web browsing. Last carrier estimate I got was 24 hours until service will be restored, with others saying they've gotten estimates from support from between 3 hours to 2 days. BES and BIS services are impacted, and it's across all carriers. Bad timing for RIM as people are wrapping up their holiday shopping..."

A lot of women want a baby. It's a natural instinct.
Oh, you meant BB.
I don't see why your wife would want a Best Buy.
Oh, you meant BB. Sorry.
But you mean your wife doesn't already have a Belly Button?
Oh, you meant BB. I apologize.
I would tell your wife that the days of Bulletin Boards are over.
Oh, you meant BB. My mistake.
I don't see why your wife would want a BB gun though.
Oh, you meant BB. Duh.
Etc, etc...
Yeah, yeah... I know about context. But I also find it annoying when people use acronyms for no good reason. This isn't Twitter.
