Apple and Blackberry, as one?

[canuckvoip]

Busy? Nowhere near to what I was subjected to at CB. But then again this is an Apple fansite. Just like I was repeatedly told at CB that I was in a BlackBerry fansite.

Don't like the tables turned, eh? And by the way, nobody here has insulted you personally which is what was allowed at CB where I was concerned.

I am not worried about how I'm being treated here, not at all. Most people have been respectful, some even delightful, and some just plain old entertaining.:rotfl:

Do you understand what patents are? I'm going to help you here because I think you've stepped beyond your limited knowledge on the subject...

BlackBerry?s Patent Portfolio Is Wireless Trove for Acquirer - Bloomberg Business

Yes, and perhaps I erroneously assumed you were referring to patents not yet implemented/seen the light of day. If so, again I apologize.

I don't want an apology...I just want the truth. Admit that you didn't really understand why the patents were the key in this acquisition, and that the patents cover the gambit of everything you clamored on about in terms of security for enterprise users (amongst hundreds of other things).

It's ok to admit you didn't know...it's a far cry more respectable than coming here and trying to pass off your entire debate here as a misunderstanding that it really never was.

Then being busy in the thread should be welcomed.

So what do you think of the pics I posted? Worthy of a flagship? I would have loved an Apple camera and software here. Alas, it's a Fisher Price camera like on the 99xx series.

@canuckvoip, I'm not going to, um, "pile on" some others are doing....(lol...The others get the joke)...but I do want to tip my hat to you for maintaining a cool demeanor throughout this debate. You've definitely earned a level of respect for it so thank you.

You might be one of the most delusional people on iMore.

And that right there is saying something.

BB doesn't work for you. That's cool. Everyone has a different use case.
Nice 5 string bass, you play keys too?

Yup I play some keys. Mainly for writing.

Business & Education - Networking & Security - Apple Support -- Go. Learn things. Your endless bleat about BB being the be-all, end-all only viable security solution is a view of someone who is looking out at the world through the peep-hole that replaced their umbilicus...

Nope. He's looking through that opening a little lower and around the corner.

The benefits are that you wouldn't have an iCloud to get hacked. You would use BBM which is more secure because it goes through BB's servers. You would have fewer apps tracking your every move. You wouldn't have your fingerprints on file, or your health records. People want what they want, I get it. But all the people that tell you "they have nothing to hide" are giving everything away, willingly, foolishly.

I don't recall iCloud being hacked before. Someone's account was hacked because of a very weak password.

This right here demonstrates a basic ignorance you have about Apple security... the only place a fingerprint is "on file" with touchID is on the device itself and nowhere else. Period. And it's not an image of the fingerprint - it's a string of numbers...

And because blackberry rested on their Laurels their employees should blame the company for mismanagement not iOS users who are no way obligated to purchase a blackberry just because Chen wishes he was the train that could.

Those employees that decided to stay with the sinking ship, again I have no sympathy for stupidity. All of my personal friends left blackberry and you should have heard some of the stories they had about thorston, what a loser.

As for security iOS is extremely secure.

The reason no one is talking about "man in the middle" vulnerabilities with blackberry is because the government doesn't need to.

One:
governments already have access to blackberry users data, they don't need drop out jeeps for blackberry, because blackberry already handed them the keys to the kingdom. I remember when India and some Middle Eastern countries threatened to ban blackberry unless they provided the keys.

Two:
What would the point be?
There are barely 4 million active bb10 users globally and around 14 million blackberry legacy subscribers left at the end of last year.

There ya go.....with pesky wee facts as opposed to the nonsensical imaginings of the faithful.

Do you know they actually tried to pin the Sony hacking on iPhone "vulnerabilities"?

Yup on a secure enclave, guess what apple patented that as well.
No body wants to buy blackberry as is even for the patents.


Nobody wanted to buy blackberry when they had a for sale sign on the front lawn, nothing's changed.
Prem watsa will break the company up and sell it for scraps to recoup his investments.

Dang it... I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
Competition and choice is GOOD!
Everybody needs more choice. It ends up making ALL the products better!
Oh, and...

Competition is only good if your at the head of the pack.
Since most consumers only purchase one product, most companies that are dead last won't benefit from your perceived theory of competition.

As for the tail of the pack; Sony, htc, and blackberry remain, but how long before they give up. That's what happens when companies cannot compete or what wall street lovingly refers to as"turning a profit". Nokia, Motorola, and Sony Ericsson have already thrown in the towel. Tick tock.

Lol! Thank you very much. I'll buy you a beer right after I get up from underneath the dogpile... Man... somebody needs to change their socks!:rotfl:

Well at least iPhone users will have the "choice".
Right?
