You have to admit, someone who's resorting to mom jokes using someone else's post as an example that the educational system has broken down is somewhat amusing.
Apple back at hurting Fandroid feelings

Absolutely 0 innovation from this company in the last 5 years, is absolutely inexcusable. My BB Curve is a nightmare, I hate this thing! The new Bold is baffling, why does it need a track pad and multitouch???
RIM is a good Co., when I used to go to school at Waterloo, our campus was next to the RIM building. They would actually allow students to park on their property on weekends while our own school would not cater to their students. To me that was a good gesture. However, as much as I would like to support them in return, I can never ever get use to their joystick device. Compare to a touchphone that is so archaic.
I wish their device were more user friendly because I would love to support a Canadian Co.
Allowing students to park on their property doesn't make them a good company. Stock holders and consumers could care less about their parking allowances. Start innovating and start evolving with the times or die.

When I said "good", I don't mean it has a good product or competitive product.
I mean "good", as in being "nice", "selfless", and "sharing".
If I were RIM, the last thing I would want is some pimple face kid to scratch my Porsche or Aston Martin
so you don't have to take your hands off the keyboard to scroll to things on the screen.
because all the cool kids have one. why else?
So would I but they're sucking big time LOL.
Their playbook is good but the support for it is craptacular.
How does it compare in the "I want to do whatever I want and install what I want on my phone and not be tied down to a software fascist dictatorship" test?
Maybe I'm missing something here but I think my Nexus S already does most of those things.
