Is it? It isn't for me.


Good read, though think the author was maybe a little generous given the described "bugs" in the software. I just couldn't use a phone like that.


I remember these guys going hell-for-leather at each other in public fairly recently. Surprise acquisition for that reason, but makese sound business sense I think. BlackBerry's going all-in on the enterprise. Apart from this Android phone thingey it's launching.


This is weird. Anyone have any idea why this happens?


Interesting move by Facebook -- any developer can offer its service through Internet.org now in developing markets. Still, Internet.org is Facebook's way of getting millions more users for its own services. Maybe not a bad thing though if it can also get thousands more companies to sign up to this program.


Uber is becoming like Google but for the physical world. There are so many parallels -- the omnipresence for starters.

Of course not, but everyone has to have a "first" comment on here, right? What a ludicrous reply for you to make, I mean really.
