Friday Fun Post: The BlackBerry Outàge

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 5 Oct 2012 12:19 pm
This one definitely gave me a bit of a chuckle. Remember though, as RIM CEO Thorsten Heins told us at BlackBerry Jam, there's a big difference between an "outage" and a "quality of service issue". As long as all the emails get through, even if delayed, it's not an outàge. ;)

6,000 RIM jobs on the line

Posted by Adam Zeis on 31 May 2012 2:13 pm
Yup. The headline pretty much sums it up. The above image has been popping up all over the internet today. One of my good friends sent it along to me earlier and my favorite Facebook personality George Takei even posted it on his page simply stating "Oh Myyy!". The article itself is based on the rumors that RIM may be laying off a large number of employees in the coming weeks. I'm sure the...

Gordon Ramsey gives some advice to RIM's new CEO Thorsten Heins on CBC's "This Hour has 22 Minutes"

Posted by Michelle Haag on 12 Feb 2012 3:51 pm
[Youtube link for mobile viewing] It seems like just about everyone has weighed in on what's best for Research In Motion, and how they can turn their current situation around. Analysts have analyzed, bloggers have blogged, and everyone else has tweeted, commented, or Facebooked their feelings on the future of the BlackBerry maker. It only makes sense that celebrity chef and TV personality...

An unintended consequence of switching from BlackBerry to iPhone

Posted by Joseph Holder on 15 Jan 2012 2:33 pm
I am fond of saying there is no perfect Smartphone; there is only the Smartphone that is perfect for you. Whether your beloved device runs Android; BlackBerry; iOS; webOS; or Windows Phone, we're all just part of the larger Mobile Nations family (do you like how I worked that in there?). Still, when a story like this comes along, I can't help but feel a little sympathy for our iPhone...

BlackBerry Girls Gone Bold

Posted by Kerri Neill on 12 Jan 2012 7:19 pm
[youtube link for mobile viewing] Alicia and I were in awe here at CES2012, this being our first one and all, and were a bit intimidated (it’s not every day you get to meet big celebrities like CrackBerry Kevin). We decided to see if we could have a bit of fun with the folks over at BlackBerry by commandeering the BlackBerry Bold limo. Unbeknownst to our fellow BlackBerry users who were...

Posted by Michelle Haag on 22 Dec 2011 3:31 pm
Remember that service outage that BlackBerry users experienced a few months ago? It was a tough time for a lot of people, because as every one knows, most BlackBerry users are addicted to their devices. The video above shows a humorous take on one man's struggle with the outage, and the recommended solution. (Please note, the video is NSFW due to some colorful language.) Thanks for...

She Did Me Shady on the BBM music video

Posted by Michelle Haag on 9 Nov 2011 2:42 pm
[YouTube link for mobile viewing] We've seen a few songs from devoted BlackBerry fans in the past, like Ping Me Baby and Textual Healing. A new one was sent in by CrackBerry member Jake2826 called She Did Me Shady on the BBM by You Dog, You -- and maybe it's the fangirl in me, but I think it's awesome. Check it out!

[NSFW] Friday Fun: Textual Healing by Cassandra Kubinski

Posted by Michelle Haag on 12 Aug 2011 5:18 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] As the title says, this video is not safe for work, or for kids really, so beware when watching. With that said, it's Friday and time to have a bit of fun! Singer Cassandra Kubinski gives us her version of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing, called Textual Healing. There are a few somewhat taboo subjects in the song, ones that we've all heard mention...

The Oatmeal has fun with smartphones in "Why I love and hate having a smartphone"

Posted by Michelle Haag on 14 Jun 2011 9:03 am
The Oatmeal never ceases to make me laugh, and this topic hit so close to home, I couldn't help but share it. Titled "Why I love and hate having a smartphone", it sounds all too familiar and I couldn't help but chuckle while reading it. The above cartoon is just an excerpt from the blog, as the entire post is too long to fit here, so follow the link below for the rest of the comics. ...
