RIM will shed 15K jobs...HP will shed 30k jobs...both CEO's are Republicans and have ran for office. These big corporations keep hiring people who can't govern or run companies...and they ask "where are the jobs"?

Very sad

Presumably if you had the job you could increase sales. How exactly ?

All the moves made by RIM corporate heads reek of denial about the transformation smartphones have made to the world. They are already dead, supported by only their installed base in government and corporations that is quickly sinking.

I worked for the second largest computer corporation in the world. 120,000 employees around the world. It no longer exists. Digital Equipment Corporation. It also was once state-of-the-art, but the art moved on, and it didn't.

I guess it scares even Apple.

Remember when they ruled the world?

When he said that ms could lose their market share over a couple quarters.

Those antitrust lawsuits here and in europe seem kind of silly now don't they?

it was a valid issue at the time.

My wife was interviewed by Joel Klein as part of the suit. She was a policy adviser in the Clinton Whitehouse.

Apple moved ahead. Perhaps the day will come for Aplle at some point.

Disclaimer: I have a Blackberry.

Steve Jobs returning is what saved them, hopefully they will remember his lessons but I have my doubts.

It can't be corporatized. He was a unique and very important player, and he is gone.

(No, seriously, they can't, because my selection of words today is ill-suited to describe something that isn't there.)

I hope they find new mgmt that can grow the brand.

It will end the same way.
