RIM CEO: 'There's Nothing Wrong With the Company' 230
redletterdave writes "Research In Motion is in trouble. The BlackBerry maker has been suffering from an identity crisis for the last six months, which has resulted in mass layoffs, lots of job shuffling, dramatic drop-offs in market share and a quickly decaying portfolio for investors. But not according to Thorsten Heins! The newly-appointed CEO published an op-ed in the Toronto Globe and Mail on Tuesday, and also appeared on a radio program the same morning, to deliver one message: 'There's nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now.'"

It sounds like he is stuck on step one on the "12 Steps For Fucked Companies Program." Step one, admitting that your company is fucked.
"Hi, my name is Thorsten, and my company is like totally fucked."
Now, what is step two . . . ?

The only solution is for Microsoft to acquire RIM.
Then, the shitstorm will be perfect.

Have you used one? There is no comparison.
After using a PB for any length of time, trying to use any Android or iOS device is like stepping back in time.
Apple uses know that "it's all about the experience". Well, RIM has that nailed as far as tablets are concerned, and all signs point to a revolutionary UI on the new BB10 handsets.

Yeah, it's not a spiral. It's more of a straight line, right down the drain.
