- I mean things thing like VLE apps, support for surveying software, support for common analysis package, referencing software not education apps in the sense of the stuff for kids, plus the new licensing we have for 0365 effectively throws in office for our students for nothing.
We get O360 for free too, some students use OneNote for their logs, but most still use their laptops for everything.11-21-13 08:38 AMLike 0 - No one questions the fact that BlackBerry has made some mistakes. It's been discussed many times and is indeed extremely frustrating. This is but one example of the type of thing one hates to read:
"In January, Friederich will head up a second MDM pilot test of Citrix Systems XenMobile with 25 Apple iPhones and 25 Android smartphones. �We�re going to give the users everything they would have with the BlackBerry,� Friederich says. �We�ve been watching what�s been going on with BlackBerry and realize that we really need to be device-agnostic.�"
Defense Agencies Manage Mobility with MDM | FedTech Magazine
The only thing that matters now is what the new management plans to do to rectify the situation and press forward to reinvigorate the brand and develop its potential. Paging Mr. Chen...
While the Army Core of Engineers are only "testing" 50 other devices in January. The Army is going to be buying over 100K devices for usage.. their own testing is over with and they have moved to the next level.

- Yup, they should. But most people don't know any better. They still trust their government more than a foreign one.
Well, BB owns ECC. What more proof would one needs.
I don't know. You can ask the NSA why they needed to serve these court orders (which were confirmed they did).
I am not worry at all, but just prefer to not volunteer the info for no reason and not knowing what they are going to do with it.

Certicom is a subsidiary of BlackBerry.
"According to Bruce Schneier as of May 31, 2007, "Certicom certainly can claim ownership of ECC. The algorithm was developed and patented by the company's founders, and the patents are well written and strong. I don't like it, but they can claim ownership."[1] Additionally, NSA has licensed MQV and other ECC patents from Certicom in a US$25 million deal for NSA Suite B algorithms.[2] (ECMQV is no longer part of Suite B.)"
Edit: "According to the NSA, Certicom holds over 130 patents relating to elliptic curves and public key cryptography in general"Last edited by plasmid_boy; 11-21-13 at 10:38 AM.

If you think you are getting a fuly functional phone whether it be an iPhone or an Android, think again. For the fun of it, read this:
http://www.nsa.gov/ia/_files/os/appl...OS_5_Guide.pdf
If you still like the prospect of going with iPhone try out what they have to say for iOS 6, it is terrible.
There is no contest with Android, you can't do anything with it.
Then go to any site where solders talk about using iPhones in the theatre, they are so restricted. For more fun,
read this:
Network / Perimeter / Wireless - Wireless (Smartphone/Tablet)
It's fine to say that Android is heading to the military soon, but at what cost? Who in their right mind would give up all the functionality of a phone just to have and Android or iPhone 6.0 in their pocket. I would want to be able to search the Net, email everyone and load non-army software. You need a BlackBerry to do that.11-21-13 10:02 AMLike 9 - If you think you are getting a fuly functional phone whether it be an iPhone or an Android, think again. For the fun of it, read this:

- Look at WiFi etc., the list goes on and on and on forever. I can't imagine anyone but NSA demanding that DoD staff use Android or iPhones at work.11-21-13 10:26 AMLike 6
- Would you be kind enough to post a link to the revised list so that we can know what else has been allowed since this old list please?11-21-13 10:33 AMLike 7
- Ha! Thanks, I did that on purpose just to see how little effort one would make while still bashing BlackBerry! We have posted the latest information, regarding new restrictions, post the May 17th 2013 "limited approvals" for Android and Apple; on this thread several times and the data and restrictions are worse than this past document. I guess I'm guilty of mind games but what else can we do while we wait to hear from Chen?11-21-13 10:50 AMLike 6

The bottom line is we know what is going on here and as you say, that it is up to Chen to wipe blackberry's ****.

Even if it were only out of respect to the shareholders. Seems to me BlackBerry has let itself be bullied enough. Enough with the nice, pleasant "Canadian way" to doing business. It is time to draw up a new game plan and to start playing offense.11-21-13 11:15 AMLike 4

Because of his strong defense of Tesla (which shows his confidence in the company), he were able to garner support to rescue the company each time ($40 mil from Mercedes, $70 mil from Toyota, another $40 mil from himself).
I have to say, BlackBerry is making best phone today. In my opinion, other phones don't even come close.
Chen can certainly claim with straight face that 'BlackBerry is the best phone out there, don't agree with me? Try one!'11-21-13 11:56 AMLike 4 - $BBRY has acquired ScrOOn, a French social media company, to help develop channels for BBM (read: monetize)

I got so caught up in HALO that I forgot to purchase $xoma earlier. I'm a buyer of that one and $img/iag soon. As for price, you always look at the recent lows and see if they get revisited. All biotech stocks have been knocked down over the past 2 months simply because they have run up so hard all year. GL11-21-13 12:02 PMLike 4
