Dubai's Police Chief Calls BlackBerry a Spy Tool

crimeandpunishment writes "Does the battle over the Blackberry ban in the United Arab Emirates have its roots in a spy story? Dubai's police chief says concern over espionage (specifically, by the US and Israel) led to the decision to limit BlackBerry services. The UAE says it will block BlackBerry email, messaging, and web services on October 11th unless it gets access to encrypted data. Comments by Lt. Gen. Dahi Khalfan Tamim are often seen as reflecting the views of Dubai's leadership, and would appear to indicate a very hard line in talks with Research in Motion."

Reminds me of a joke. Three Business School Product were sitting down at lunch and all were trying to show how technologically advanced their companies were. One guy starts tapping his fingers and then puts his thumb near his ear and his pinkie by his mouth and starts talking. Then he says goodbye and explains to his amazed buddies that his company had installed phones in their hands and their fingers do the dialing. One of the others, not to be outdone, starts touching various teeth with his tongue, looking very odd. Then he starts talking, says goodbye, and explains his company has installed phones in their teeth. The third fellow, feeling a bit behind the times, lets out a rip-roaring fart that wakes the dead. He quickly takes his leave to go the bathroom because a fax has just come in.
