Who cares about that outage, Id buy a blackberry before a stupid iPhone anytime, you know, something working better without paying extra money for a ugly design.
Mr. Lazaridis, You really should be working on that outage rather than posting here. Regards, grub
~20 years ago I had a microwave with a dial timer that stopped working but still kept the mic "running". Sometimes it would blow an internal fuse if you opened the door while operating, I got tired of changing the internal bit and wired it out. The part bypassed was the door safety assembly. Basically the thing would run with the door open and never stopped.
I had to warn anyone that was over to hit RESET before opening the door. Girlfriend moved in and we kept her microwave. Wimp.
Serious end note: I called my microwave "Ol' Auschwitz".
That's just one comment in a silly Ask Slashdot question. Overall it took very little time. The ability to post only one or two times per day makes the time needed almost self-limiting.
This is why our society is headed towards looking like the morbidly
obese blobs in "Wall-E"!
Don't go outside into the REAL WORLD to
exercise and socialize, just sit on your butt playing video games and
pretending the people in the games are your real friends. All the while you
get bigger and more unhealthy... eating garbage food and have subluxations
grow.
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing inherently bad about
video games (we own an XBOX360 with Kinect) but expecting to go into these
make believe worlds and flourish while the Real World You rots is absolutely
disgusting. I'm 5'11", 160 lbs and haven't wavered for ~15
years.
Folks, enjoy casual gaming. Please make sure you get out for
exercise, good nutrition and adjustments.
Think about this: at the
end of your life, you won't look back over the course of your journey and
think "Gee, I wish I played MORE video games."

Mike and/or Jim joked a while ago that they could probably use a third CEO as they are so busy. Yet Apple, with just one CEO, is taking RIM's lunch money and drinking their milkshake. They're a pair of delusional has-beens and no one in their company has the balls to say the Emperor has no clothes.
They still show profit but it's down almost 50% over last year and that's with a 40% increase in subscribers. They're slashing prices on everything to keep relevant, they can't keep cutting prices much more, it's an unsustainable situation they're in.
Also it's interesting to note that Apple sold almost as many iPads in the quarter as RIM sold actual smartphones. While Jim & Mike tout the "we shipped 200K Playbooks" mantra, they aren't telling how many are actually in the hands of consumers. 200K shipped in a quarter where Apple sold 9.2M iPads: ~102K per day.
I've never looked at RIM's development system (Xcode user) but from reading comments on people who use both, Xcode is light years ahead.
Sucks to see RIM dying like this, I like that they are a Canadian outfit. But I'm not going to dump my time and money into a platform on life support just because they're headquartered here.
We run Cisco WLC and LWAPs as well. Do you have your LWAPs on different ports at the WLC side? That helps. Also different VLANs for different networks and SSIDs is important to keep the traffic down per.

How about jobs?
Didn't you hear? He died.
neither of my phones worked for 3 hours until the servers got caught up a bit. Very annoying
Wait... are you talking about Apple or RIM here?
iOS 5 features delta updates. You don't download the whole OS anymore.

Oh bah.
That's not ice, in fact we make dildos and butt-plugs from it.
Ontario wimp... I'm in Winnipeg. We go under 1mi of ice every Winter.
It will?! Awesome, I will start my micro-payments today!
The real question is "Will it run on an HTML5 Beowulf cluster of virtualized CSS3 clouds with AJAX, microblogging and crowdsourcing support?"
So that means I should carry around yogurt to throw on my eyes during a date.
I trust her PhD... :)
One of the researchers here called it Vestibular [forget the word]. I googled it and there it was.
We have MRIs at work, I get that Just-Stepped-Off-A-Roller-Coaster dizziness when moving through the field, the effect is well known.
Old news or am I missing something?
The fuse would still pop. Hey I was 25ish and stupid. Now I'm 45 and stupid.
Nomally, yes.

Thanks! :)
Damn... it was a good run. Realized as I clicked Submit that I was in the wrong browser.
lol... oh dear.

RIM has had a few bad quarters.

Cisco's WLC/LWAPs do load balancing among access points.
