Blackberry’s market has severly crashed just coz of windows and android platforms..RIP blackberry
Are you seriously bidding Blackberry bye? I can’t believe this because I still love Blackberry phones despite the shortcomings. It is good for business people. 🙂
I am too using Blackberry for past 4 years and love its features and working. It will be very disheartening if it discontinuous its handset business.
I felt the same way Ankur!
Its been long that I have been using Blackberry services too. They are perfect fit for businessmen but they just need to produce latest stuffs that has latest features.
You are absolutely right Daniel. They will have to make changes in their products and include new features to sustain in the market. I hope they have solid plans to do it.
Yes Ankur 🙂
I want RIM to do something about their OS so that people like us could stick with them, even though we still uses iOS and the rest.

I hope the heartbleed “bug” has finally hammered home to even the staunchest OpenSource enthusiast that just because everyone can read an application’s code that does not make it safer. In fact, only very few ever do read the code. Less even would be able to understand it. And as one well knows from various studies, the average programmer delivers about twenty (!) lines of code per day (!) – that are those that in the end were tested and documented, the handbook written for etc. etc. Taking shortcuts, as I see it done often in OpenSource, lead to sloppy design and do further make the code inscrutable and errors untraceable and intractable. OpenSource comes with no money up front, but since also without a warranty of fit-for-purpose.
