This week on End Credits we'll BBM you. Are you old enough to remember BBM? Maybe it doesn't matter because the direct messaging app between BlackBerry devices is a minor plot point in the new film about the titular device. This week, we're going to review the new true Canadian story, BlackBerry, and talk about other movies about fights overs technology. This Wednesday, May 17, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Peter Salmon will discuss: Tech Wars. This week's movie is about the human conflict that's created as a result of technological innovation. Sometimes these movies are about man versus machine, but sometimes it also means man versus man *over* the machine. Then, there are the stories about how man's faith in machines is his undoing, and when you add all this up, it means you get the movies of the pre-review segment on this week's show as we dig into, "Tech Wars" REVIEW: BlackBerry (2023). Around the turn of the 21st century, a Waterloo company became the centre of the tech universe when the device they created changed telecommunications forever. They called it the Blackberry, both fans and critics called it the "CrackBerry" and for the better part of a decade, if you had a smartphone, it was probably from the finest minds in K-W. This period of time's now been captured in BlackBerry, the amazing rise and stunning fall of a made-in-Canada success story. But is the made-in-Canada film about it any good? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.

At its peak, the BlackBerry was the world's most popular smartphone with almost 50% of the US market. They were called the ‘CrackBerry' so many people wanted one. Now they have a 0% share of the market. This is the story of their rise-and-fall.Today on Patented we're handing over the mic to a podcast we think you'll like called ‘Today In History…with The Retrospectors'.

Rerun. Research In Motion were once the world's most popular maker of smartphones, but when they launched the BlackBerry 850 on 19th January, 1999, the device had no phone functionality: it was marketed as a two-way pager. However, the gadget's ability to bounce emails from a desktop server to its users on the move, and its bespoke instant messaging service, BBM, ensured it soon became an essential tool in the executive businessperson's arsenal. Until the iPhone came along, anyway… In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly revisit the ‘CrackBerry' phenomenon; unpick the role of Al Gore and Barack Obama as ultimate celebrity influencers for the brand; and wonder whether anyone will still be using one, after the company's recent announcement that their handsets will no longer be supported… Further Reading: • ‘The one reason why I'll always miss the BlackBerry' (Slate, 2013): https://slate.com/technology/2013/10/the-one-reason-why-ill-always-miss-the-blackberry.html • ‘The rise and fall of the BlackBerry in popular culture' (BBC Newsbeat, 2016): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-37500230 • ‘Classic BlackBerry Devices To Officially Stop Working After Decades Of Popularity' (NBC Today, 2022): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWhuVEfDPv8 ‘Why am I hearing a rerun?' Every Thursday is 'Throwback Thursday' on Today in History with the Retrospectors: running one repeat per week means we can keep up the quality of our independent podcast.

New York City, am 11. September 2001. In Folge der Anschläge am World Trade Center brechen sämtliche Telekommunikationsnetze zusammen. Nur das Netz des BlackBerry-Herstellers Research in Motion (RIM) läuft noch. Im Moment einer der größten Katastrophen der neueren Geschichte bewährt sich BlackBerry und gewinnt damit viele Anhänger von der Wall Street bis zum US-Kongress. Die beiden Co-Geschäftsführer von RIM, Mike Lazaridis und Jim Balsillie, haben das erste mobile Endgerät entwickelt, mit dem geschäftliche E-Mails auf einem tragbaren Gerät abrufbar sind. Eines Tages bekommt Apple-Gründer Steve Jobs den klobigen BlackBerry in die Hände und erkennt seine Chance. Damit beginnt die Rivalität der beiden innovativen Unternehmen.Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://art19.com/privacy.

Lars Magnus Ericsson was working for the Swedish government that made telegraph equipment in the 1870s when he started a little telegraph repair shop in 1976. That was the same year the telephone was invented. After fixing other people's telegraphs and then telephones he started a company making his own telephone equipment. He started making his own equipment and by the 1890s was shipping gear to the UK. As the roaring 20s came, they sold stock to buy other companies and expanded quickly. Early mobile devices used radios to connect mobile phones to wired phone networks and following projects like ALOHANET in the 1970s they expanded to digitize communications, allowing for sending early forms of text messages, the way people might have sent those telegraphs when old Lars was still alive and kicking. At the time, the Swedish state-owned Televerket Radio was dabbling in this space and partnered with Ericsson to take first those messages then as email became a thing, email, to people wirelessly using the 400 to 450 MHz range in Europe and 900 MHz in the US. That standard went to the OSI and became a 1G wireless packet switching network we call Mobitex. Mike Lazaridis was born in Istanbul and moved to Canada in 1966 when he was five, attending the University of Waterloo in 1979. He dropped out of school to take a contract with General Motors to build a networked computer display in 1984. He took out a loan from his parents, got a grant from the Canadian government, and recruited another electrical engineering student, Doug Fregin from the University of Windsor, who designed the first circuit boards. to join him starting a company they called Research in Motion. Mike Barnstijn joined them and they were off to do research.  After a few years doing research projects, they managed to build up a dozen employees and a million in revenues. They became the first Mobitex provider in America and by 1991 shipped the first Mobitex device. They brought in James Balsillie as co-CEO, to handle corporate finance and business development in 1992, a partnership between co-CEOs that would prove fruitful for 20 years.  Some of those work-for-hire projects they'd done involved reading bar codes so they started with point-of-sale, enabling mobile payments and by 1993 shipped RIMGate, a gateway for Mobitex. Then a Mobitex point-of-sale terminal and finally with the establishment of the PCMCIA standard, a  PCMCIP Mobitex modem they called Freedom. Two-way paging had already become a thing and they were ready to venture out of PoS systems. So  in 1995, they took a $5 million investment to develop the RIM 900 OEM radio modem. They also developed a pager they called the Inter@ctive Pager 900 that was capable of  two-way messaging the next year. Then they went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange in 1997. The next year, they sold a licensing deal to IBM for the 900 for $10M dollars. That IBM mark of approval is always a sign that a company is ready to play in an enterprise market. And enterprises increasingly wanted to keep executives just a quick two-way page away. But everyone knew there was a technology convergence on the way. They worked with Ericsson to further the technology and over the next few years competed with SkyTel in the interactive pager market. Enter The Blackberry They knew there was something new coming. Just as the founders know something is coming in Quantum Computing and run a fund for that now. They hired a marketing firm called Lexicon Branding to come up with a name and after they saw the keys on the now-iconic keyboard, the marketing firm suggested BlackBerry. They'd done the research and development and they thought they had a product that was special. So they released the first BlackBerry 850 in Munich in 1999. But those were still using radio networks and more specifically the DataTAC network. The age of mobility was imminent, although we didn't call it that yet. Handspring and Palm each went public in 2000.  In 2000, Research In Motion brought its first cellular phone product in the BlackBerry 957, with push email and internet capability. But then came the dot com bubble. Some thought the Internet might have been a fad and in fact might disappear. But instead the world was actually ready for that mobile convergence. Part of that was developing a great operating system for the time when they released the BlackBerry OS the year before. And in 2000 the BlackBerry was named Product of the Year by InfoWorld.  The new devices took the market by storm and shattered the previous personal information manager market, with shares of that Palm company dropping by over 90% and Palm OS being setup as it's own corporation within a couple of years. People were increasingly glued to their email. While the BlackBerry could do web browsing and faxing over the internet, it was really the integrated email access, phone, and text messaging platform that companies like General Magic had been working on as far back as the early 1990s. The Rise of the BlackBerry The BlackBerry was finally the breakthrough mobile product everyone had been expecting and waiting for. Enterprise-level security, integration with business email like Microsoft's Exchange Server, a QWERTY keyboard that most had grown accustomed to, the option to use a stylus, and a simple menu made the product an instant smash success. And by instant we mean after five years of research and development and a massive financial investment. The Palm owned the PDA market. But the VII cost $599 and the BlackBerry cost $399 at the time (which was far less than the $675 Inter@ctive Pager had cost in the 1990s). The Palm also let us know when we had new messages using the emerging concept of push notifications. 2000 had seen the second version of the BlackBerry OS and their AOL Mobile Communicator had helped them spread the message that the wealthy could have access to their data any time. But by 2001 other carriers were signing on to support devices and BlackBerry was selling bigger and bigger contracts. 5,000 devices, 50,000 devices, 100,000 devices. And a company called Kasten Chase stepped in to develop a secure wireless interface to the Defense Messaging System in the US, which opened up another potential two million people in the defense industry They expanded the service to cover more and more geographies in 2001 and revenues doubled, jumping to 164,000 subscribers by the end of the year. That's when they added wireless downloads so could access all those MIME attachments in email and display them. Finally, reading PDFs on a phone with the help of GoAmerica Communications! And somehow they won a patent for the idea that a single email address could be used on both a mobile device and a desktop. I guess the patent office didn't understand why IMAP  was invented by Mark Crispin at Stanford in the 80s, or why Exchange allowed multiple devices access to the same mailbox. They kept inking contracts with other companies. AT&T added the BlackBerry in 2002 in the era of GSM. The 5810 was the first truly convergent BlackBerry that offered email and a phone in one device with seamless SMS communications. It shipped in the US and the 5820 in Europe and Cingular Wireless jumped on board in the US and Deutsche Telekom in Germany, as well as Vivendi in France, Telecom Italia in Italy, etc. The devices had inched back up to around $500 with service fees ranging from $40 to $100 plus pretty limited data plans. The Tree came out that year but while it was cool and provided a familiar interface to the legions of Palm users, it was clunky and had less options for securing communications. The NSA signed on and by the end of the year they were a truly global operation, raking in revenues of nearly $300 million.  The Buying Torndado They added web-based application in 2003, as well as network printing. They moved to a Java-based interface and added the 6500 series, adding a walkie-talkie function. But that 6200 series at around $200 turned out to be huge. This is when they went into that thing a lot of companies do - they started suing companies like Good and Handspring for infringing on patents they probably never should have been awarded. They eventually lost the cases and paid out tens of millions of dollars in damages. More importantly they took their eyes off innovating, a common mistake in the history of computing companies. Yet there were innovations. They released Blackberry Enterprise Server in 2004 then bolted on connectors to Exchange, Lotus Domino, and allowed for interfacing with XML-based APIs in popular enterprise toolchains of the day. They also later added support for GroupWise. That was one of the last solutions that worked with symmetric key cryptography I can remember using and initially required the devices be cradled to get the necessary keys to secure communications, which then worked over Triple-DES, common at the time. One thing we never liked was that messages did end up living at Research in Motion, even if encrypted at the time. This is one aspect that future types of push communications would resolve. And Microsoft Exchange's ActiveSync.  By 2005 there were CVEs filed for BlackBerry Enterprise Server, racking up 17 in the six years that product shipped up to 5.0 in 2010 before becoming BES 10 and much later Blackberry Enterprise Mobility Management, a cross-platform mobile device management solution. Those BES 4 and 5 support contracts, or T-Support, could cost hundreds of dollars per incident. Microsoft had Windows Mobile clients out that integrated pretty seamlessly with Exchange. But people loved their Blackberries. Other device manufacturers experimented with different modes of interactivity. Microsoft made APIs for pens and keyboards that flipped open. BlackBerry added a trackball in 2006, that was always kind of clunky. Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, and others were experimenting with new ways to navigate devices, but people were used to menus and even styluses. And they seemed to prefer a look and feel that seemed like what they used for the menuing control systems on HVAC controls, video games, and even the iPod.  The Eye Of The Storm A new paradigm was on the way. Apple's iPhone was released in 2007 and Google's Android OS in 2008. By then the BlackBerry Pearl was shipping and it was clear which devices were better. No one saw the two biggest threats coming. Apple was a consumer company. They were slow to add ActiveSync policies, which many thought would be the corporate answer to mobile management as group policies in Active Directory had become for desktops. Apple  and Google were slow to take the market, as BlackBerry continued to dominate the smartphone industry well into 2010, especially once then-president Barack Obama strong-armed the NSA into allowing him to use a special version of the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition for official communiques. Other world leaders followed suit, as did the leaders of global companies that had previously been luddites when it came to constantly being online. Even Eric Schmidt, then chairman of google loved his Crackberry in 2013, 5 years after the arrival of Android. Looking back, we can see a steady rise in iPhone sales up to the iPhone 4, released in 2010. Many still said they loved the keyboard on their BlackBerries. Organizations had built BES into their networks and had policies dating back to NIST STIGs. Research in Motion owned the enterprise and held over half the US market and a fifth of the global market. That peaked in 2011. BlackBerry put mobility on the map. But companies like AirWatch, founded in 2003 and  MobileIron, founded in 2007, had risen to take a cross-platform approach to the device management aspect of mobile devices. We call them Unified Endpoint Protection products today and companies could suddenly support BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and iPhones from a single console. Over 50 million Blackberries were being sold a year and the stock was soaring at over $230 a share.  Today, they hold no market share and their stock performance shows it. Even though they've pivoted to more of a device management company, given their decades of experience working with some of the biggest and most secure companies and governments in the world. The Fall Of The BlackBerry The iPhone was beautiful. It had amazing graphics and a full touch screen. It was the very symbol of innovation. The rising tide of the App Store also made it a developers playground (no pun intended). It was more expensive than the Blackberry, but while they didn't cater to the enterprise, they wedged their way in there with first executives and then anyone. Initially because of ActiveSync, which had come along in 1996 mostly to support Windows Mobile, but by Exchange Server 2003 SP 2 could do almost anything Outlook could do - provided software developers like Apple could make the clients work. So by 2011, Exchange clients could automatically locate a server based on an email address (or more to the point based on DNS records for the domain) and work just as webmail, which was open in almost every IIS implementation that worked with Exchange. And Office365 was released in 2011, paving the way to move from on-prem Exchange to what we now call “the cloud.” And Google Mail had been around for 7 years by then and people were putting it on the BlackBerry as well, blending home and office accounts on the same devices at times. In fact, Google licensed Exchange ActiveSync, or EAS in 2009 so support for Gmail was showing up on a variety of devices. BlackBerry had everything companies wanted. But people slowly moved to that new iPhone. Or Androids when decent models of phones started shipping with the OS on them. BlackBerry stuck by that keyboard, even though it was clear that people wanted full touchscreens. The BlackBerry Bold came out in 2009. BlackBerry had not just doubled down with the keyboard instead of full touchscreen, but they tripled down on it. They had released the Storm in 2008 and then the Storm in 2009 but they just had a different kind of customer. Albeit one that was slowly starting to retire. This is the hard thing about being in the buying tornado. We're so busy transacting that we can't think ahead to staying in the eye that we don't see how the world is changing outside of it.  As we saw with companies like Amdahl and Control Data, when we only focus on big customers and ignore the mass market we leave room for entrants in our industries who have more mass appeal. Since the rise of the independent software market following the IBM anti-trust cases, app developers have been a bellwether of successful platforms. And the iPhone revenue split was appealing to say the least.  Sales fell off fast. By 2012, the BlackBerry represented less than 6 percent of smartphones sold and by the start of 2013 that number dropped in half, falling to less than 1 percent in 2014. That's when the White House tested replacements for the Blackberry. There was a small bump in sales when they finally released a product that had competitive specs to the iPhone, but it was shortly lived. The Crackberry craze was officially over.  BlackBerry shot into the mainstream and brought the smartphone with them. They made the devices secure and work seamlessly in corporate environments and for those who could pay money to run BES or BIS. They proved the market and then got stuck in the Innovator's Dilemna. They became all about features that big customers wanted and needed. And so they missed the personal part of personal computing. Apple, as they did with the PC and then graphical user interfaces saw a successful technology and made people salivate over it. They saw how Windows had built a better sandbox for developers and built the best app delivery mechanism the world has seen to date. Google followed suit and managed to take a much larger piece of the market with more competitive pricing.  There is so much we didn't discuss, like the short-lived Playbook tablet from BlackBerry. Or the Priv. Because for the most part, they a device management solution today. The founders are long gone, investing in the next wave of technology: Quantum Computing. The new face of BlackBerry is chasing device management, following adjacencies into security and dabbling in IoT for healthcare and finance. Big ticket types of buys that include red teaming to automotive management to XDR. Maybe their future is in the convergence of post-quantum security, or maybe we'll see their $5.5B market cap get tasty enough for one of those billionaires who really, really, really wants their chicklet keyboard back. Who knows but part of the fun of this is it's a living history.

Moving into the New Year I have a strange sense of déjà vu. Tonight we're gonna party like it's 2020 Two, the updated edition.This is the sixth day of January, 2022. A year ago, before the attempted coup, we were all so much younger. Now it just feels numb, and dumb, and sometime sort of pointless. It feels like we're entering the new year running it petal to the metal, full tilt in neutral. The incredible spikes in COVID infections over the last few weeks from Omicron is so far beyond believable it makes knowledge of what is coming in the next two weeks unfathomable. Happy New Year eh? I got Omicroned for Christmas. Myself and my partner Shana both got exposed and infected over the two week holiday period. I think it might have happened in a cell phone store. For me, it was very very mild. I had a nasty cold sore and a half day of sniffles. I would have been exposed 10 – 14 days after getting my third dose booster shot of SpikeVax, the punkrock name given to the Moderna vaccine. Shana, who as many of you know was infected early in April 2020, caught her second bout of Covid. In her it manifested as one of the harshest flues she's had in years. She had yet to receive a booster shot.The next two weeks are likely to be crazy. I hope I'm wrong but expect a lot of people to phone in sick and a lot of services and shops to be shut down for lack of staff. If we're smart, four to six weeks from now could look very different but, if there's one thing I am absolutely sure of, we're not nearly smart enough when it comes to existential emergencies. 2022 is going to teach us all a lot of lessons, some good and some bad. I think how things work out will have a lot to do with how we learn them. Blackberry old goes dark(Mr. Jones, we've solved your Crackberry addiction...) Bing IndexNow WordPress Plugin availablehttps://www.seroundtable.com/indexnow-wordpress-plugin-released-32709.html Migration advice – don't drop AMP during migrationhttps://www.seroundtable.com/migrate-domains-remove-google-amp-seo-32696.html Ways to generate some Soft 404shttps://www.seroundtable.com/error-like-pages-soft-404-google-32690.html Language quality can impact multilingual siteshttps://www.seroundtable.com/google-language-version-site-quality-impact-32686.html Danny Goodwin leaving Search Engine Journal Why?

It's September 11, 2001, and the only network running in downtown NYC is the one owned and operated by BlackBerry's manufacturer, Reserach in Motion. On one of the most devastating days in American history, that unique reliability wins RIM new fans from Wall Street to Capitol Hill. Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie, the co-CEOs of RIM, created the first mobile devices that synced work email accounts to mobile. But when Steve Jobs picks up the bulky Blackberry, he sees an opportunity — and a rivalry is born.Listen to new episodes 1 week early and to all episodes ad free with Wondery+.

In a nutshell: Kevin Knebl is recognized as a leading authority on LinkedIn and relationship marketing. In a more and more interconnected, over-caffeinated, hyper-competitive, always-on, 24/7/365, CrackBerry world, how do we stay top of mind with our prospects, clients, referral sources and networking partners?

68 thousand subscribers. 34 million views. 370 videos. All since launching this channel back in 2018. And I couldn’t have done any of it without you. All of you. Which is why I’m both terrified and excited as hell to tell you… This… is my very last Vector. Ok, hear me out: A few weeks ago, well before what’s happening now started happening, I made the decision to leave iMore, the website I’ve been working at for over a decade, and Future PLC, the company that owns it and the Vector channel, and go indie. Yeah, indie. Not to Apple or Google or Twitter or Microsoft, or any of the other major media outlets either. Just indie. Just me. I deeply, truly appreciate what each and every one of you has done for Vector over the last couple of years. You took it from nothing and made it a smart, considerate, vibrant community and in what feels like no time flat. Even if this many videos also feels like basically forever. Now, the Vector channel is staying here with Future. And they have some amazing YouTubers on staff, people I’ve worked with and learned a ton from, like Alex Dobie and Hayato Huseman on Android Central, Daniel Rubino on Windows Central, Kevin Michaluk on CrackBerry, and the inimitable Michael Fisher on The Mr. Mobile. They’re going to keep producing amazing content and I can’t wait to see more of it. I also want to thank everyone at Future Mobile Tech, for helping me do what it is I love so much to do — work my ass off to bring you the very best Apple and related tech coverage on the ‘Net, each day, every day, pretty much all day. And I’ll still be doing just that. Just different. So, if you’ve enjoyed these videos and our conversation as much as I have, and want to keep them going, you’ll still be able to find me @reneritchie on Twitter, Instagram, and starting later this week, /reneritchie right here on YouTube as well. Thank you for watching, time for what's next!

We're still trying to wrap up this whole 2018 thing so we watched Winchester (February 2 2018), Wildling (April 2018), Slice (September 11 2018), & Mandy (September 14 2018)and sipped on some Crackberry cider and coughed a whole lot. Sorry about that last bit.

With CrackBerry celebrating its 11th birthday and Mobile World Congress 2018 wrapped up, we settled in to bring you the latest CrackBerry podcast. On tap for this one, the latest BlackBerry KEYone and Motion news, we also dig into the latest device rumors and the Optimus 'Ghost' leak, and Kevin tells us how he almost died in Barcelona. Good times! PS : NSFW for driving down the road with your kids in the back.

To kick off the first CrackBerry podcast of 2018, we figured it was only right to reflect on some of best highlights from 2017 and share our predictions for 2018. 2017 was a pretty jammed pack year, so there was a lot to discuss. Go ahead, hit play and settle in for the next hour. As always, we'll get the audio posted up in a bit here if you prefer to tune in that way.

The CrackBerry podcast is back for a special Cyber Monday edition. This time around, we brought a few friends along. MrMobile and Jan Ole Helmbold join us to discuss all the things happening in the BlackBerry world right now including Cyber Monday deals, the CrackBerry Unstoppable European Tour as well the upcoming Canadian Unstoppable Tour and of course, the all-new BlackBerry Motion.

Olly und Mario waren wieder einmal für die BBUGKS on Tour, diesmal zum Crackberry Meetup in Frankfurt, wo unter anderem auch das neue BlackBerry Motion vorgestellt wurde. In unserem aktuellen Podcast berichten wir von unserer Reise und den ersten Eindrücken vom Motion.

Pow! Time again for another CrackBerry podcast. This week, we dig into all the latest BlackBerry news including the latest BlackBerry Motion and KEYone announcements that have happened since our last podcast. Plus, we announce a brand new round of CrackBerry meetups for Europe and Canada.   Not enough? Well, we also dig into the latest news coming from the BlackBerry Security Summit in London and much, much more! Settle in, check out the video and if you prefer the audio download, hang tight! We'll get that posted as soon as possible for you!

We've been working on getting this guest in for a while to talk about where BlackBerry has been and is going as a mobile brand. Post BB10, what changed at the core of this Canadian enterprise tech company to bring it from Priv to Motion in two or so years? Kevin Michaluk, better known as CrackBerry Kevin talks with us about the new BlackBerry. That'll be in our second hour after we talk about two of the biggest devices this year! Well, "big" as in physicality. Both are from Chinese manufacturers, but one has stacked itself with all the 2017 trimmings it needs to survive while the other calls back to 2011, picks up specs from 2016 and then tosses it onto AT&T with a bold attempt at what a foldable smartphone should be. And then, there's the big G. It's the Huawei Mate 10, Pixel 2 and the ZTE Axon M on this episode of the Pocketnow Weekly! Watch the video recorded from 3:00pm Eastern on October 20th, or check out the high-quality audio version right here. You can shoot your listener emails to podcast@pocketnow.com for a shot at getting your question read aloud on the air the following week!

Dual Wielding Huawei Mate 10 and Mate 10 Pro were released with a confusing array of specifications and levels of prestige. We also talk about the Leica cameras. | 4:37 We take an unscheduled diversion to the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, mostly about the OLED display controversy. | 21:18 We have the ZTE Axon M, the first foldable dual-screen phone since the Kyocera Echo or the Sony Tablet P. And it's the company's first flagship on AT&T's lineup! | 35:47 BlackBerry in Slow Motion 50:28 The Passport was one huge slab of a finale to the BlackBerry OS lineage before the company tided over to Android. CEO John Chen was fighting to keep hardware in-house, but things changed after the Priv. We ask the "what ifs" and consider if the road taken with the outsourcing to TCL was the right one to take. We'll say this: the KEYone has been a great step so far and the Motion looks set to continue on that positive motion. • See you soon! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode, we discuss BlackBerry Mobile at IFA, CrackBerrry Berlin meet up, AT&T releasing the Space Black KEYone and more! Annnnd we're back with another CrackBerry podcast. This week, we're full of randomness and goodness as we discuss BlackBerry Mobile's plans for IFA, our CrackBerry Meet up in Berlin, AT&T releasing the Space Black KEYone and BBM - is it still a great messaging app or has it become a dumpster fire?

I’ve always liked the number 9. Did you know that if you multiply nine by any whole number (except zero), and repeatedly add the digits of the answer until it’s just one digit, you will end up with nine? Fascinating stuff. ANYWAY.

We’re going to try and briskly recap the last week and share our viewpoints for a well rounded discussion.

We talk about this HBR Survey about late-night email. https://hbr.org/2015/04/survey-how-does-late-night-emailing-affect-you? 21:10 The problem with hierarchy and emails. Is sending and replying to emails the main way of signaling that we are available to other people? The importance of making clear that you don’t require an immediate response when you’re in charge. The team agreement! 40:10 Can we take breaks during the day? Why is it ok to stop in the evening but not during the day?   “Can you craft your day based on your needs?”   We need to set boundaries for ourselves and other people. Define for yourself what’s important for you. We mention this interview from Lisette's podcast with Alexandre Pellaes. Is this how I want to lead my life?   “Learn to know thyself.” How about you? Do you separate your time into work and life? How do you stay focused and unstressed? How do you make sure, especially if you’re in a management position, how do you make sure that you don’t impose your own way of working on everyone else?   Do send your thoughts, and any questions (and any advice for Lisette!) to askingpilar [at] gmail.com.

Many years ago, Harvard Business School perfected something called the “case study method.”   A new educational innovation that presented the challenges confronting companies, nonprofits, and government organizations—complete with the constraints and incomplete information found in real business issues.Students learned that through the process of exchanging perspectives, countering and defending points, and building on each other's ideas, they became adept at analyzing issues, exercising judgment, and making difficult decisions.Business journalist Sean Silcoff,  in his new book,  Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry, conducts his own case study.He reminds us that in real business situations, unlike business school, there are no simple solutions; personalities matter and, and he shows how easy it is to go from leader to irrelevance in an economy that values creative destruction far more than the status quo.My conversation with Sean Silcoff:

You read that right. It's not OFFICIAL yet, but the $4.6 Billion offer to take BlackBerry private is in. Not much else to say.

We had the team out in force on Saturday waiting for BBM for Android but unfortunately things didn't go quite as planned. Things are a bit of a jumble right now but we're hoping they all get cleared up quickly. We know there are a lot of questions so we're firing up a quick hangout to talk about everything that went down and what happens from here.

It's been a crazy day today to say the least. While the Apple fans were out in droves, we were hard at work covering all that is BlackBerry. Some big happenings late in the day, so join us for a quick one as we go over all the things that went down today.

Are you losing focus? We’re in what could easily be called the Age of Distraction. Between all the media sources we’re exposed to, all the forms of Social Media, instant communication and technology at our fingertips...we’ve just become inundated with ready-made distractions to keep us from meeting our goals and threaten the very simplicity we’re trying to build in our lives. So today, we’d like to talk about some simple ways to get your focus back, and beat the distractions that keep us from focusing on what’s important to us. We’ll go over a few personal examples of distractions we face and share a couple of tools we use to help keep us on track. Read more... Main Topic Types of distractions: Internal distractions are your subconscious thoughts that get in the way.  And it may not be negative self talk (like fear and self-doubt) that gets in the way….euphoric thoughts can be just as distracting! External distractions can be a phone call, a loud noise, a FedEx delivery at your front door, or all the ads you see online and on FB! Some problems we face that lead to losing focus: We’re constantly “switched on”: Camille L. Preston owner of AIM leadership and author of Rewired explains how an overuse of technology and its lingering effects--being overwired--is damaging our brains, our bodies and our personal productivity. She talks about the dopamine effect and its correlation to our addiction to technology Smartphone addiction (aka the “Crackberry”) and instant access to email is one of the biggest distractors. Too many apps that are constantly updating and the constant search for hot new apps. Social media 24 hour news cycle "The Resistance” that Steven Pressfield’s explains in his books the War of Art and Do The Work, which prevents you from getting the important work done. Immediate (if not instant) gratification: like consuming short form information in blog posts as opposed to reading the entire article. Solutions: Taking some time to analyze “always switched on” habits. If you're always switched on...guaranteed...you'll find yourself losing focus! Taking a “digital sabbath” or unplugging time: some of your best thinking and productive moments may happen when you're unplugged. Designate times (schedule) times for things that distract, such as social media and email:  Lifehacker and many other productivity specialists recommend not checking email first thing in the morning!  There is a much much greater chance of you derailing your important project if you allow yourself to get distracted with emails and the unforeseen and unplanned tasks that are buried in them. Check your work mail only during work time and personal mail during personal time. Disable automatic download of emails.  Instead download them manually during a “pre-determined” that you've set on your calendar to check them. Turn off your internet or use an app like the  Self Control App or Rescue Time. An app that lets you block your own access to distracting websites, your mail servers, or anything else on the Internet. Just set a period of time to block and you will be unable to access those sites--even if you restart your computer or delete the application. Evaluate what apps/programs really work for you. No need to have cool new app if the ones you have are working. Our favorites are Evernote, Dropbox, Google Docs/Drive and Google maps to name a few. Plan out your day.  Even Ben Franklin had a Daily Schedule...it's amazing what he accomplished in his lifetime! Set aside time to read...actual books! Identify your triggers or what’s causing your distractions. By identifying your triggers you become more aware.  And being aware will in turn move you from subjectively looking at a problem to objectively looking at it and help you take ownership to control them. So, we all go through bouts of losing focus.

We're doing this one quick and dirty to cover all the hot news today. We're talking Z30, BBM on Android/iPhone and the news about company layoffs.

We talk BlackBerry Z30, BlackBerry Jam Asia, the mystery Malaysia event and BBM FOR ALL! Join Kevin, Adam and Simon as we dive into the latest BlackBerry happenings and recap the recent events as well as what we're expecting in the next few weeks

This week on the podcast, we are joined by Kevin Michaluk, founder of the BlackBerry blog CrackBerry.com to talk about what to expect from RIM in the second half of the year. We also speak with Sylvain Perron, managing director of digital for Edelman, about the company’s new Blog Level and Tweet Level social media measurement tools.

Geoff and Rene answer a question about incline treadmills, then talk all about the keyboard -- or CrackBerry! -- claw. What causes repetitive stress injuries and what can be done about them. This is Superfunctional!

Join us each week for Coffee with Andrew and Rob, the official podcast of Coffee with Rob. Every show will involve casual conversation between myself, my good friend, Andrew Amat, and guests as we tackle opinions on the news featured here on the blog. Please join us for one hour of round table discussion. Would you like to ask a question or have your opinions mentioned on air? Email theshow@veedanews.comAnother week, another episode of Coffee with Andrew and Rob. We had a lot to cover this time around, as we always do, although not as much as we would have expected but still more than enough to bring you guys a show. We started off talking about the AT&T and T-Mobile merger ans what it means for the two companies as well as for Verizon Wireless. After that, we continued with the tech news and talked a bit about the BlackBerry PlayBook as well as gave a bit of a shoutout to the guys over at the CrackBerry.com forums for their approval of the the article I wrote about the product. We also mentioned what was going on in Yemen and wrapped up the first half by talking about how Egypt's stock exchange plummeted.After the break we talked a bit about Libya as we always do but didn't dabble in it too long this week because we quickly moved into the topic of why Cuba hasn't revolted yet. Andrew and I have our takes on that in which we dreamed up a scenario in which Castro gets sent off to work at Fukushima to work on the nuclear reactors without a nuclear suit on and becomes a slave to the Japanese people. Quite the tall tale but it was fun nonetheless.Get the podcast:[iTunes] Subscribe to the show on iTunes[BlackBerry Podcasts] Search for us on the BlackBerry Podcast app for BlackBerry smartphones[RSS] Subscribe to the show via RSS[MP3] Download the MP3 and listen on any playerOr listen here on the page:
