    What could we possibly gain from such a thing?

    I guess that'll be the end of RIM. Last year it was REM. What's next? RAM? ROM?

    Oh dear God, please don't let it be rum!

    You say RIM needs a Jobs? There's a tired joke in there somewhere...something about comparing apples and blackberries.

    There was a typesetters' error in the last sentence of today's RIM article. It should have read "Thorsten Heins will now lead RIM as it slogs toward inevitable bankruptcy and asset fire sale to the likes of Apple and Google." We apologize for the error.
