� while its buttons are physical, they do allow touch control, meaning the user can swipe over the keyboard in order to control the display, instead of having to reach for (and smudge up) the display all the time. This is a feature, which the BlackBerry Passport has been so far unique for, but may pick up and become a trend with some niche devices.

Well that didn't take long.

To bad that CBC is dropping Blackberry support from their mobile news app...

Edit: The mobile app works fine, but actions like this, especially in Canada, perpetuate the app-gap.

COMPANY NEWS ALERT
HIGHLIGHTS-Top U.S. hedge funds scale back on Apple ahead of all-time high (Thomson Reuters)

(Adds Tiger Consumer, Sarissa Capital and Farallon 13F filings)

By Svea Herbst-Bayliss and Sam Forgione

NEW YORK, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Top U.S. hedge fund management firms, including David Einhorn's Greenlight Capital and Philippe Laffont's Coatue Management, cut their stakes in Apple Inc during the fourth quarter, ahead of the iPhone maker's strong rally this year, according to regulatory filings.

Apple was a big winner in 2014, with its shares racking up returns of 37.72 percent. The company's stock is up more than 16 percent in the year to date and hit an intraday record on Tuesday of $129.45 per share. Last week, its stock market value ballooned above $700 billion, bigger than Switzerland's gross domestic product.

Although Apple is the biggest position in Coatue Management's portfolio, the firm sold 1.7 million shares at the end of the quarter, or 15 percent of its stake in the company, leaving it with 8.9 million shares, according to a regulatory filing on Tuesday.

In a filing on Friday, Greenlight cut Apple holdings by 6.2 percent to 8.6 million shares during the quarter.

Eric Mandelblatt's Soroban Capital Partners sold 4.3 million Apple call options, liquidating the fund's position. And David Tepper's Appaloosa Management hedge fund revealed that it had dissolved its stake in Apple.

Last week, billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn said the technology company's shares should be trading at $216 apiece, equivalent to a market capitalization of about $1.26 trillion.

The moves by Greenlight and Coatue were revealed in quarterly disclosures of manager stock holdings, known as 13F filings, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. They are of great interest to investors trying to divine a pattern in what savvy traders are selling and buying.

But relying on the filings to develop an investment strategy comes with some peril because the disclosures are backward-looking and come out 45 days after the end of each quarter.

Still, the filings offer a glimpse into what hedge fund managers saw as opportunities to make money on the long side.

The filings do not disclose short positions, or bets that a stock will fall in price. As a result, the public filings do not always present a complete picture of a management firm's stock holdings.

The Evolving Landscape of Enterprise Mobility Managed Services
Thursday, 5 March
14:30 - 16:00 CET
Hall 4 Auditorium 4

Marty Beard - will be one of the Speakers

(+ Gregory Wade, SAMSUNG VP, Enterprise Business Team)


Description:

"Mobility is often being embraced by enterprises as an enabler of business transformation to drive greater efficiencies, agility and customer engagement. Enterprise mobility managed services are evolving to offer a more comprehensive range of services to address the growing needs of global enterprises, from mobile device management to application development to dedicated onsite IT support, and can free up enterprises to focus on their core competencies. Furthermore, if enterprise mobility managed services from a single service provider have the broad capabilities, are based on an open ecosystem and can scale, global enterprises could benefit from deploying these services to address fragmentation issues.

This session will explore how enterprise mobility managed services are evolving to address the growing needs of global enterprises.

Best Advice: Don't Be a Superstar
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/best-...inkId=12407768

It’s obvious that being good at your job is good for your career. But being a superstar can actually hurt it.

I know how counterintuitive that sounds, so let me explain. Most employees think that the best way to show value to their boss and get promoted is to aggressively claim credit and ownership over everything they do. While it’s important to be recognized for what you do and the value you add, grabbing the glory is going to turn off your co-workers. And speaking as a CEO, trying too hard to show you’re a superstar tells me that you only care about what’s best for you, and not the company as a whole.

What if you’re successful in convincing everyone that you are a true superstar, the best at your job in the entire company? Well, being irreplaceable is a double-edged sword. It not only means you’re unfireable — you’re also unpromotable. Again, from my vantage point, why would I allow one employee to be promoted to another job if it creates a huge void elsewhere?

So my advice to young workers and even mid-career managers is this: be as unselfish as possible. That means not only helping others with their jobs, but actively training people to do your job well. This helps your co-workers, helps your company, and helps you.
