Some people speculate that the reputedly rock-solid real-time QNX OS which RIM bought up several years ago will facilitate RIM's possible encore.

I don't agree with it. RIM not only has a huge product problem, it but also has a HUGE marketing problem, because it's been forced to be enveloped in the consumer market, which is very different than the enterprise market it'd been used to, by the market shifts, especially the nascent but widely adopted BYOD policies implemented in many companies.

Some blobs in human brains must have very similar mechanisms of emotions.

For instances, most individuals can appreciate the ever popular song "Hotel California" by The Eagles with its fantastic music, and most individuals can be somewhat moved by a military funeral.

Which parent never scolds his or her kid?

Permanent competitive edges elude businesses, large and small, while customer demands almost always evade real understanding as long as they evolve.

Microsoft has revamped its OS offerings and adapted to the mobile world.

Windows 8 probably will not be able to sustain the company's dominance in the IT industry, but it probably will be a really fantastic product for consumers nevertheless.

I wont to drink beer in the summer.

It surely tastes better than water and Diet Coke.

Life puts almost every friendship to small or big tests, sooner or later.

Then the rhythm and the fate of the friendship is determined.

More and more Syrians are ready to rebel against the President, after it has become apparent that every civilian can be the intended victim of the ongoing massacres ordered by the President.

Business doesn't stop at 5. Technology innovation and advancement doesn't stop at 5.

The United States disrupt all sorts of industry value chains with its customary innovation.

What Apple and Google's Android have done in the mobile sphere is just another example of that.

By contrast, the sad case of RIM's free fall stings many Canadians and makes them ask again if Canadian companies can compete in the technology sector.

"California, here we come".

Friends have parted from D. X., one by one.

The culprit is two fatal flaws of him, albeit he's got some very good characters which I actually appreciate a lot. Sigh.

Currently I've got a habitual weekday routine, which is to improve my own English proficiency a teeny bit.

I don't give up.

Sometime I can't help but wonder if I'm too ambitious because I want to achieve what 1.5 or 2 generations of Chinese immigrants overseas achieve within 1 generation, which is my own lifetime. :-)

In recent years, some, or many, local governments in China have done quite a few harmful and untrustworthy deeds to SMBs.

No wonder more and more rich Chinese people have been heading out of China and establishing a base in one Western country or another.

It's quite easy for me to mistake the word "splinter" for "sprinkler".

It's regrettable for G. N. to pair with C. G. into their entrepreneurial endeavor.

As was my wont, I checked the news about RIM and saw almost nothing good.

Breezes in August make life lovely.

A spectrum of light feelings has been induced in me by summer.

I used to exhort Chinese immigrants in Canada whom I know to learn a great deal of English.

I repent of the moment that my wife turned off our portable air conditioner without first cancelling the set timer. :-)

Now I have had to fix the mysterious problem that the air conditioner refuses to consistently blow cool air.

People had better to stop the custom that one must use Facebook day in and day out.
