Mike Lazaridis Takes A Quantum Leap Of Faith In Waterloo - Nice Read
He is the man however you look at it and I have so much respect for this man on both personal and professional terms. There are 100 reasons which can be attributed to RIM's downturn some RIM's faults and some the competitors were too good because of their background (20 years experience in personal computing) which RIM couldn't match in time and was caught offgaurd but after all that he has got balls to regain his confidence and try something different not succumb to use Windows or Android. No matter however you toss it BB10 is his vision - buying QNX, Tat and other fine pieces like Torch mobile etc. Jan 30th is not too far off to witness the magic unfold. Anyways that aside here is a very nice read on ML and how he transformed the whole city of waterloo with vision and love for Canada..

Maybe he should walk away from Research In Motion to create another engineering start-up or establish an incubator-type environment for other start-ups.
the problem with hindsight is it comes too late to do anything about it!
