No I can tell you straight up what was wrong with RIM. You all went to the same shitty school. You all sat on the same shitty classes with the same shit professor. Waterloo is a pissant bullshit farmer town. FFS there is horse hitches all over the places, because yes, PEOPLE STILL RIDE HORSES IN WATERLOO ON.
You guys lived in a bubble. You all were so isolated from what customers wanted, to this day you still think the 1st gen iPhone was 'a total piece of crap'. No sir, every product pushed out the anus that was RIM of Waterloo ON was a piece of crap. There is ONE event that defines the cellphone market, and that is before the iPhone announcement and after. And RIM kept on shatting out pre iPhone sets AFTER the iPhone and wondering why people didn't give any shits.
The weak dual CEO model, the lack of any outside thinking in Waterloo was astronomical.
I have a playbook right here. Remember those selling for $600++ Canadian? Yeah, or the fire sale of $129 CDN?
BB10 only had a chance in 2006-2007. But the truth is that y'all had been suckered with your crap education thinking that QNX was going to magically save you, because your foolish teachers embraced RTOS's for the users, and QNX was from Ontario ergo it is teh cool.
But none of you remember using the iCON workstations running QNX, and what total crap it was. And somehow magically a shite user experence from 1998 was going to win the day in 2012?
Face it the half baked, half assed products (see anyone crying about not running BES anymore?) is what did RIM in. Frankly nobody liked their shit, and given the chance to jump at anything else that didn't suck, and blamo they all left.
RIM was a freak of nature, the owners had utter contempt for their market, instead thinking of 'serious business' but not understanding the key demographic of cellular phones is not business but rather teenage girls. A phone with no cameras, no mp3 features, and a shite internet experience surprisingly didn't sell at all compared to the 1st gen iPhone. Instead of realizing that the iPhone launch was the defining epoch of the market, RIM choose to double down on dumb phones, then buy QNX to do a hookers and blackjack phone that by then nobody cared about.
Priv is their only hope, but that phone should have been out back in 2009 at the latest.
did you see the price tag of those HP or Compaq desktops? (Big) Businesses (of the 90s) don't do clones.
And even if it meant we had some PhD billing us at $500 an hour, you can bet since he was a consultant he had the 386sx16, and maybe after a few months of begging we got him a 387sx. Pentium??? LOL
when you are independant in the usa, you have higher taxes, and you are required to buy the expensive insurances that employees dont need to carry, like business insurance, data insurance etc. Not to mention you'll need to do your own payroll, more accounting work, it's a real pain in the ass.
it makes me glad to be an offshore outsourcer as I can undercut and I don't have any 'affordable care' nonsense.
the real solution is working remotely, and working in asia.
he is shilling for the new star wars, basically telling everyone that he has nothign to do with it, that they actively ignored him, and that they are doing things completely different.
amen to that! I mean I 'get' the overreaching part, but damn, real deceptions of space are BORING AS HELL, and listening to some guy breahe while displays flash and a machine that goes 'ping' pings away is... lame.
that and add in some explosions, and a high tension sound track not lullabies.
same reason why it's always a death star. iv was about the death star, v was being pissed off about the broken death star, vi was about a new death star. And look at the poster, vii? A new death star.
In a GALAXY there is only like 5 people, and an obsession with moon sized space ships that get blown up at the drop of a hat.

Show me what you got!
Yes yes, SGI sent in some 32v memory code, which was quickly tossed out.
The joke being that 32v is free now, so it doesn't even matter.
and Azer's unpublished code, along with desiring it not be hosted @NPM on github.
uh oh.
I hope you got Google to pay for this!!!
to their Commodore Amigas.

First thing that came to mind. And that didn't end well!
and yes PEOPLE, not corporations, but the people making these false claims the system will remain the same.
hail corporate!
He'll, I'd be happy with 7.0 .... but I'll take 4.21!
I wanted to buy one, under the condition I can have real access to sysv, and redistribute. Surprisingly, never heard back.
But he did open up 32v, giving us all the 3 and 4 BSD as truly open source.
SYS V needs to go open next, not that overloaded slowlaris, but lean mean SYS V
a.out and static binaries, go with linux 0.12. everything since has been bloated crap.

And not asking if they should
In Japan. BUT between them, and NEC they were my favorite
When I see ed Norton fucking, I see brad Pitt.
something something systemd.

yep thanks to wallstreet and bean counters. Oddly enough they are powered by retirement funds, how is that for a bad sense of irony?
well it was on a torrent, so who knows how many people it'll spread out to.
it'll never go away either.

This is a story that needs telling!
Dreams of a green empire, the Ruby Rhod story.
bullshit, there are only 5 people, and always a death star.
