Email is moving towards webmail that scans your emails to do targeted advertising. Doing everything in the cloud makes it way too easy for companies to extract value from users.
This is true, but even if you don't use their webmail interface, the free email service providers can still scan your email. There's nothing to stop them from doing that.
Social Security and Medicare costs are only going to get worse as our population ages. And those costs are what is really tanking the federal budget.
I don't think that SS or Medicare are a part of the annual budget. I think those are separate and fully operate when the government shuts down because a budget has not passed.
Even if they had push apps, the value proposition isn't there any more.
You could be right about the value, but in my job security trumps a small difference in value. I choose not to allow VPN to BYOD devices. I also chose to containerize business apps/email that cannot interact with the personal space on the device.
The corporate VPN already does secure connections fine. Just a new client.
And people want tablets that are not worth trying to shoehorn into BES.
Oh, and it's all cheaper.
I don't think you've checked. BES12 covers tablets just fine. I haven't tried to push apps yet, but I have heard that they are working to expand that area for iOS and Android.
The plan where I work is to roll out first IOS and then Android apps to securely run corporate email, calendar, etc (?) Over the VPN. Then kill the BES servers.
Security is a very big deal here. That's why the mobile apps are taking so long to be finished. BES is no longer worth the money, and we all want to use our own phone anyways.
Then use BES10 or BES12. It can create secure containers in iOS and Android that completely separates sensitive company data from the rest of the device - just like BB does. It's perfect for BYOD.
I'm not sure that allowing the devices to VPN into the corporate network is a good idea. I'm not sure how you would control access without some sort of mobile management software like BES12 or other alternatives.
Code once (HTML5)for many devices (iOS, Android, BB, Windows, etc). Problem solved. Most mobile apps pull information from the web anyway. Save on developer costs too.
I'm curious, how do they average for the whole year? Is it monthly averages that they average for the year? Is it daily data that is averaged for the whole year?
In my state they made preschool "free". Within the year the tuition costs tripled from previous levels that were flat the previous 5 years. Every time the government offers something for free it's cost becomes unbearable.
They still have the best mobile management software out there. Citrix, Good, MobileIron, etc can't touch BB's offerings.
Plus they have QNX which is used in billions of devices around the world. So what if their handhelds aren't popular? Who cares? They will continue to have a niche market in handhelds.
One of the other responders commented that Christians use the Bible to justify anti-gay bigotry, and usually reference Leviticus when they do. They could as easily reference the New Testament. That passage from Romans maintains the death penalty for gay behaviors, for disobeying parents, for worshiping idols, and for oathbreaking, among other things.
The whole message of the Bible is that we're *ALL* subject to the "death penalty" (hell) for our sinful ways. It doesn't matter what the sin. Confession of sins and faith in Jesus it what will redeem you according to Christian beliefs. Stop acting like only homosexuals are singled out. All sin matters. Even my sins, and their are plenty of them - just like everyone else on this planet.
You don't see it because you aren't looking. As for the whole "old testament" thing, I've suggested to some anti-gay bigots that we should be out stoning to death people who touch leather, work on Saturday, eat shellfish and such, and they use that (completely fucking stupid) line "but that's in the old testament, and we don't follow that anymore" only to turn around and use the command in Leviticus to support their anti-gay bigotry.
THE problem is, there's too many idiots who only listen to what their preacher says, and can't seem to find time to actually read the Bible. That's why their version of "God" seems to hate exactly who they hate. The other problem is, religious people ignoring the plank in their own eye, while thinking their shit don't stink and throwing stones at other people.... which is EXACTLY the problem with a lot of posters in the thread.
Actually, the new testament speaks out against homosexuality too. But it doesn't advocate violence against homosexuals.
Being an American I have to say that I agree with everything you said. PC has run amok in the US to the point where nobody will stand up for anything. It is sad.
Not that you made any such claim, but those are all Old Testament scriptures, thus for Christians they have been overridden by the teachings of Jesus Christ. None of those apply to Christianity, which makes sense, as you don't see Christians running around trying to enforce anything of the sort.
But then they rolled over for India, of all places, trading backdoors for market share.

Just because you heard it somewhere doesn't mean it's true. There are no backdoors for the BES system. The customer generates their own keys. BlackBerry doesn't have access to them.
People are starting to draw back from the overwhelming complexity in all things.
Huh??? Using a record player is way more complicated than using digital media. Plus there's virtually no care or preparation for digital media, unlike vinyl.
who is this "us" he is talking about? because with just a little thought, you quickly realized these "billions of dollars" are just transfers from the (assumed) wealthy building owners to the less wealthy contractors and workers.
one person's cost is another's paycheck and kids tuition payment.
if the public good is really being served here by improving safety of citizens, why isn't the discussion framed more along these lines?
Where do you think these contractors/workers live and work? In buildings where the owners and renters will be forced to pay for these improvements.
Stop acting like only the rich will pay for it. Everyone will pay for it. Most people won't be able to afford it. If it becomes mandatory people will be forced to move out of the city due to the cost. Everyone will pay.

How can Microsoft justify Windows 10 on a less powerful device like Raspberry Pi 2 and not support on the Surface RT?
Seems pretty stupid to me to purposely screw over the people that bought the RT models that are perfectly capable.

Could be wrong though.

BES 1x doesn't do our corporate apps.
The corporate VPN already does secure connections fine. Just a new client.
And people want tablets that are not worth trying to shoehorn into BES.

the default client for iPhone (mail, contacts, calendar) has supported the exchange protocol for many years now.
No, they have supported ActiveSync which is different from MAPI. They are not the same protocol.
I use Sophos at the office and they allow free home use for all employees. It's solid stuff.

Is it monthly averages that they average for the year? Is it daily data that is averaged for the whole year?
Are you really not aware that those are the same number?
If so, well it's good that you seem to realize that you truly do not belong in this discussion.
No, they would not be the same number. Thanks.
I'm curious, how do they average for the whole year? Is it monthly averages that they average for the year? Is it daily data that is averaged for the whole year?
No, I didn't RTFA. Just curious is all.
Seeing how Ford will have QNX in almost all of their cars going forward, I'd say that QNX is a nice little profit for BB.
I'm talking about the BES12 service, not the legacy server. But even the legacy server was ridiculously easy to manage by anyone with half a brain.

It won't happen, but I appreciate it.
