What? BGR made up a story? You're kidding me?!? /sarcasm

BGR bullshit again. Glad it's not happening, anyway.

Why does anyone take BGR seriously anyways?? Wouldn't be surprised if it was a kid running that site who has nothing better to do than make up bs. Seriously CB I'd say drop them from your source list...asap.

another BGR exclusive LIE : ) . . . .

I think BGR is playing with RIM stock for their own arbitrage advantage.....

Shocker, BGR had incorrect facts. Slow news day CrackBerry? I don't know when other blog sites are going to learn to not report rumors from BGR.

I swear... BGR is going to bring down RIM...

lol at RIM's crappy stock value, the only times it rises is when there are rumors about a takeover or change of CEOs hahahaha, sadness, sadness everywhere...

What'd be the point? Samsung would likely be content to increase the size of their patent portfolios, and at best might exploit QNX for non smartphone or tablet things. I don't believe for one second that they, Amazon, or any other company rumored to be acquiring RIM are going to gamble on fighting Google. If RIM is sold, BlackBerry as we know it will become nonexistent.

I hope they'd sooner accept corporate death than throw everything right off the cliff.

I find it hilarious that analysts and the like actually listens to BGR.

Ok glad this is over with and i hope there is actually something exciting to read about tomorrow http://t.co/YeofONgm

I've heard that Apple want to buy RIM and create the BlackI ("I" like insane)

It was obvious a sale would not happen. They said previously that they were interested in seeing the success of BB10 before anything was considered.

However, That doesn't negate the chance at a partnership, similar to that of Nokia and Microsoft. Both could definitely benefit from working together, especially RIM

E.L.

I think it is high time that BGR is criminally prosecuted, who knows who benefited from this rumour.

SEOUL (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics Co said on Wednesday it was not interested in taking over Research In Motion after shares of the BlackBerry smartphone maker jumped more than 10 percent following a tech blog report that it was seeking to sell itself to the South Korean firm.

Mobile Nations buy out BGR and shut it down?

I knew it...once again BGR reports are bull...now come RIM and shock the world with BB10 and Playbook OS 2.0 then later Playbook 2

Zodiac BBX (BB10)

"Not interested in RIM"

OUCH!... kinda makes it sound like they want nothing to do with us

this is not the first time for BGR, they always like having some personal problems with RIM ? I don't know but I dont trust their sources anymore and I think CrackBerry should seriously to not report rumors from BGR

I saw one/two typo(s).

[...] be nothing more THAN a rumoUr.

I'm Canadian, so I spell rumor with a U, and than, not then.

Who owns BGR? Apple?

Kevin, I love CrackBerry, but today was a little ridiculous.

i'm using 9900 & S2..

felt a little bit excited about this actually.. :-)
could've been benefits to both Sammy & RIM

Thank God! Glad were keeping RIM Canadian.

Ok so let's look at something here. BGR says BB10 is an complete failure and that RIM can't get email to work on the new software, all from a "trusted source", and after CES they were impressed with OS 2(which is BB10, technically)how well the email and other new features are. Now this same "trusted source" said that RIM was doing the shopping for a new buyer and that gets sacked. I'm sure if we look back over the last year we would see more of this same thing from this site (BGR that is). So if this keeps happening why does everyone continue to listen or even go to BGR.

If BGR was a person we would all call this person a pathalogically liar and doubt everything they say. But for some reason when BGR throws up the word "exclusive" every one and there moms starts to think its true. I'm not saying they have not been right a few time but the sun does shine on a dogs ass every once and a while.

Folks this has NOTHING to do with BGR. It was all over Toronto news. Every elevator screen in downtown Toronto office building even had a posting about Samsung and RIM. Don't give BGR that much credit folks. Geez....

BGR should be investigated for possible stock manipulation. They have a repeated track record for making up stories about RIM.

Someone has made a lot of money feeding stories to bloggers.

Well, there goes RIM stock prices again

not interested in buying but they didnt say not interested in licensing bb10

Great news.

This can be construed as market manipulation. Somebody (e.g., SEC) should look into it - hopefully that'll teach BGR to publish bs news.

lol more bs from BGR. Its no wonder rim has such a bad rep everyone believes what BGR has to say. The media are all idiots even chch news reported this story on there 6oclock news.

BGR? What a joke. Written off long ago...Bu11sh1t Goes Rampant!

RBgr story maker?

1. Way to go BGR, not that anyone other than some investors believed it.
2. Who said rumors don't move the market...in either direction.

No one wants it...reminds me of the playbook

I'm happy that Samsung is not buying out RIM.. I think I might just stick with the Playbook until the release of OS 2.0 and then if I'm not happy with the device I'll sell it..

BGR is getting annoying

Who in their right mind would pay that much for RIM? More importantly, WHY? Just let RIM continue to make promises about how they are going to deliver new handsets and then delay them some more.

BGR, aka TMZ of tech, is worse than TMZ:
-it is the first to cover financial news even though it is a tech blog
-it reports motivated rumors
-blog owner drives a Jag/Aston-Martin

If posting a fabricated rumor leads to 10% ROI on stock, hell yeah, that's genius way to pay for that Jag/Aston-Martin. Just don’t shit your pants when SEC pays you a visit.

Thank god! I love BB, i would have had to go to the dark side Apple :)

yes glad RIM is still Canadian! would have had gone to apple if this happened! LOVE BB!

Glad this is not true. I know it's not true comming from BGR but there's still a chance it was true. Thank god for that, dunno what to bo if Blackberry goes Android

I never believe a single bit of the news this morning of Samsung buying out RIM as soon as I saw the source was by BGR insider source. I had a strong feeling this was all a hoax.

Now BGR should accept two consequences:

Either get sued by the traders for mislead rumours and speculation and fauxifying information.

Or there should be a federal investigation on BGR to the source of the information that BGR claim to be.

Someone should be jailed for this.

I can not belive we all belive it when it clearly said Jim is pushing for samsung..which Jim ? Jim is the one reported by all media and blogs that he is the obstacle for any sort of merger/sellout so that statement shold have raised flag immediatly. Jim is labelled as current Yahoo CEO for RIM. But we all like some excitements, rumors and fall for this kind of stuff..I am sure friend of BGR made some cash here..The BGR should be reported..

RIMM is trying to do two things.

1.) Root out an employee(s) that can't keep their mouth shut;

2.) Play with the market and get the stock moving in the right direction

Anybody that has watched RIMM long enough knows that the company is not up for sale.

p.s. I hope you have a Stop order on your stock to lock in today's profits.

im glad that they arent buying this piece of crap.

Thank God! but i dont understand why any one takes bgr seriously

Sounds like someone was trying to pump and dump RIMM stock. Must have worked... RIM was up almost 9% yesterday on the rumour...

Ok so which one of you is the 'insider'? hmm? :)

I think BGR is getting played and made to look stupid.

Did anyone really believe that a company was interested in buying a toxic asset such as RIM?

Ok, it's not about an acquistition but you are in talks. What is it about? Making the BB10 devices together?

All this media frenzy is stressing me out! Please please BlackBerry don't sell! I do not want to be forced to use an IPhone or Android phone!
