    people with more knowledge please correct me...

    from my understanding your ISP can use a transparent proxy (so without your knowledge, or actually make you use a web proxy) and be able to see your data even in SSL. This is how websense gateway product works. they actually use it as a selling point to be able to scan ssl based web email that may include confidential documents as attachments.

    unfortunately belief!=opinion in the eyes of the belief holder but rather a fact since God can do anything, even forge geological and carbon dating records.

    there can never be a debate on science vs belief... however i wish that all members of the government were required to take a test on US history... all parts of US history (and factual history) and depending on their score (hopefully ~= knowledge) they could attain a particular office. I would make the test a written test with the answers publicly available.

  17. Re: BES no more? on Leaked Photo Shows Touch-Screen BlackBerry 10 Phone · · Score: 1

    from my understanding (BB mobile fusion http://us.blackberry.com/business/software/blackberry-mobile-fusion.html#tab-1 )... and since i havnt deployed, just read some info, take with a grain of salt.
    there is a separate manager for iPhone and droid devices to deploy BB software to apple store and play store (droid?) and to centrally rule them all through one console. That way if your corporate infrastructure allows for multi-brand (bb, Apple, Droid) phones you can mange them from one location.

    +1 my thoughts exactly,

  19. Re:Have you actually tried one? on Leaked Photo Shows Touch-Screen BlackBerry 10 Phone · · Score: 1

    The first part of your post is spot on. RIM dropped the ball, sitting on their laurels as others surpassed them.

    keyboard wise, swype(on my droid) is a life saver, but still not as good as my torch for typing.

    from an IT and admin point of view, BB is still more secure than any other phone. there are no good corporate tools for managing droids and iPhones to prevent intentional and unintentional data loss. I for one will keep an open mind till i see what BB 10 and BB10 server? can do before deciding.

    I had hoped the MS with the win8 phone/tablet will allow the devices to be secured by AD policies so we can bring the deploy tablets and phones as IT resources rather than BYOD mess that we have today. but alas that's not happening so lets see where bb10 leads...
