Can't believe this is actually a story. I mean seriously, isn't this obvious? This is like opening up a local news paper and reading how the keys to my car has a security flaw because anyone can take it from me. Obviously whoever wrote that had an agenda.

Well people don't like to miss an opportunity to create drama and spread FUD.

I guess times have changed. I would never have tried that at any age. My Daddy may have warned me the first time, but a whippin' with a switch would've got my attention the second time. I just made sure there was no first time. That "look" was bad enough. Kids these days feel emboldened for lack of discipline. No huge crime there, but still a discipline problem. I just never woulda done it. I had too much fear instilled in my head.

I was following BGR for a little on Twitter but they really do blow everything out of proportion. I agree with the national enquirer comparison.

I actually like the content they cover; they always seem to cover things that interest me. But they do blow things out of proportion. They have a group of professional trolls in their comment section that really make me laugh!

They do seem to be one of the first to break a story. They may exaggerate, but they're on the ball.

I regard BGR as the National Enquirer of the tech world. I read it from time to time for a laugh, but that's all.

The funny thing is that the BlackBerry faithful despise BGR with the heat of a million burning suns because they claim it posts lies.

And yet.....this is a top trending thread in CB and NOBODY has questioned the blogger.

Hypocrites much?!???

You mean the BlackBerry faithful frothing at the mouth with pitchforks and torches (pun fully intended) in hand?

The blackberry fan trolls on there aren't as funny as the iOS fans that pretend to be android fans. LOL we call them reverse trolls.

Ha! I was going to reply with that exact post about the sky falling, you beat me to it; well done.

BGR is probably the place to go if you are looking to gain a sense of humor.

It's a shame back in the day he used to be good and gave a crap about tech, now it's all about hits and money.

No way, a kid was smart enough to use the owners thumb to unlock the device?! Stupid Apple for not thinking about this. Who knew it was possible?
