On the 50k salary, that is absurd. Google has an office there now. Anyone who is willing to take 50k instead of going across the street to Google is insane. Do you really want 100 criminally insane people building your product?11-02-17 02:00 PMLike 0 -

Look at Senior *software* engineer and *software* engineer averages at Google and BB. Remember, payroll taxes in ON are very, very high (much higher than CA), so you have to add those employer paid taxes on top of these numbers:

After the death of Spock (Nimoy), the crew of the USS Enterprise returns to Earth. When James T. Kirk (William Shatner) learns that Spock's spirit, or katra, is held in the mind of Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Kirk and company steal the Enterprise to return Spock's body to his home planet. The crew must also contend with hostile Klingons led by Kruge (Christopher Lloyd) who are bent on stealing the secrets of a powerful terraforming device.
(Can't decide yet who gets to play the Klingons and the Romulans....Apple and Google/Android or vice-versa)rayporsche likes this.11-03-17 12:01 PMLike 1 - If Chen cared about BB10 users (or more likely if he saw any kind of a chance to profit from resurrecting/providing major updates to BB10) he would do something about it. Instead, he sold off the hardware division, fired the BB10 staff, and put all BlackBerry resources into developing blackdroid. What about his actions suggest that he will fix BB10? It really doesn't matter what resources it would require, if he can't make a dollar off it he's not going to spend a nickel. He was hired to decommission BB10 and BlackBerry is no longer a proprietary OS. We don't have to sit here and argue over whether it could happen, the proof is in the pudding.glwerry likes this.11-03-17 12:08 PMLike 1
- ....(on Genesis) Spock's katra is reunited with his body in a dangerous procedure called fal-tor-pan. The ceremony is successful and Spock is resurrected, alive and well, though his memories are fragmented. At Kirk's prompting, Spock remembers he called Kirk "Jim" and recognizes the crew......Mr. Sulu take us out of here....warp factor 3.11-03-17 12:10 PMLike 0

- If captain kirk is Chen, the story went a LOT differently. He didn't steal the enterprise to kidnap spocks body and take it to Vulcan. He stole the body, but he destroyed it instead. Lit it on fire and blew the ashes out the escape hatch.11-03-17 12:21 PMLike 0

1-BB10 hardware can only accept software signed with BlackBerry keys.
2-There are still companies and governments using BB10, and their security would be compromised.
3-QNX forms the backbone of BlackBerry's IoT endeavours (QNX-auto, BlackBerry Radar, autonomous auto, etc), so why compromise that too?glwerry likes this.11-04-17 09:40 AMLike 1 - To make BB10 open source BlackBerry would have to strip out QNX and all the security modules that make BB10 great. It is easier to mothball BB10 and hold on to intellectual properties.Neville A Daniels likes this.11-04-17 09:43 AMLike 1

- In a way, BB10 because of its underlying QNX Kernel is designed to be extensible... add to it through its development tools. What you need is for BB to sign those devices you are using with the secret sauce, so the snag is getting the BB10 'with the BB' magic hardware touch to the hardware to make it all snug in its bed.......do I hear kernels popping? ...are those android and apple mind kernels exploding?rayporsche likes this.11-05-17 04:00 PMLike 1
- I actually had a conversation with a business man, and office manager talking about the distraction of byod (apple and android) phones to the workplace (is a serious productivity problem)....one of the things they liked about bb10 was that there wasn't a lot a of distraction (especially during work hours) on these phones to keep employees unproductive....maybe bb10 could capitalize and formalize this feature....in that parallel universe we are working on....just got to get a babe ruth investor to step up....or a whole team.11-05-17 04:06 PMLike 0
