Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis not the worst Tech CEO's of 2011, but what do you think?

Posted by Bla1ze on 6 Dec 2011 12:27 pm
Should Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis be replaced? RIM has no doubt had a rough year but it wasn't rough enough the 200 people polled to vote them as the worst tech CEO's of 2011.

There are two main elements to the press release, and I'll discuss both of them here. The $485 million inventory charge will get the most attention in traditional media. That's because $485...

Tipsy RIM employees cause chaos on Beijing-bound flight

Posted by Bla1ze on 1 Dec 2011 6:16 pm
Well, it's hardly BlackBerry related but it's certainly rather funny. It seems as though two RIM employees on their way to Beijing have caused some chaos during their flight there, enough in fact -- that RIM had to issue a statement on the matter. As noted in The Star: The incident began Monday night aboard Air Canada Flight 31, a non-stop flight from Toronto to Beijing, where the unruly...
