You're an idiot. Right or wrong, the fact that the phone was pre-production hardware was well-flagged. It's like the other idiots who somehow got the idea in their heads that this was the only BB 10 production unit and that means RIM were getting out of the keyboard business (if anyone at RIM ever thinks about it I will drive to Waterloo with the business end of a 2 x 4 along for the ride).
RIM are desperately behind the curve and I have massive misgivings about where things are going, but let's stop making up random reasons to hate-on.
Each tunnel is going to be separately wired. The tunnel heading toward France will be run by UK networks - the agreement is not yet signed. The tunnel toward UK will be run by the French networks.
Presumably it was thought the "handoff" was best done going out of the tunnel rather than going in.
I often get complaints from users about dropped calls but have no direct access to info about when/where they happen and so on. If we had access to diagnostic data it would give us a stick to beat our carriers with - which is why we'll never get that swishy portal idea :)
at least they didn't use " beleaguered, struggling, troubled" twice in consecutive paragraphs while over-trying to be a smartass.
As for the app - RIM have the option of discussing with Google taking that code into RIMs in house app development team - just like their Facebook and Twitter app. More likely though the decision is linked to the easier setup process to get gmail into the main Message app reducing demand for the separate app.
We'd like to ban you from the church if carrying, but we're broke from paying off kiddie fiddlers we moved from parish to parish so we can't do without the collection revenue.
"In the next several months, the company will introduce a new update mechanism for Flash that will upgrade the application for all browsers. Currently, Windows machines with more than one browser must be upgraded twice"
So it's not going to be part of Flash 11 release? Misplaced priorities fellas. Totally agree with Robert Carnegie above.
"Chrome's beta version is unaffected, making it a suitable substitute until Microsoft can correct the error"
Until you try and go back on release ver and it tells you your profile has been upgraded beyond that version.
As for the false poz, it happens, but the clients were configured to quarantine (and thus able to restore after new defs downloaded) not delete... right?
Nothing less than sackings of everyone who knew where this imagery was sourced from, or who was responsible for ensuring their subordinates do quality work, will suffice.
Only commitment to quality will separate journalists from bloggers and sockpuppets.
Hope they sent a nice bunch of flowers to Waterloo, Canada
apparently it's built on almost identical hardware to Playbook by the same manufacturer - RIM gets the production bugs out, Amazon reaps the rewards...
If he doesn't want to use his government account, he need not cash his government paycheque. (And yes I know it's all EFT now but we don't have a new phrase for that)

Gives Waterstones an alliance with other brick/mortar booksellers, and they'll need one given Amazon's tablet ambition. I have a Kindle myself but friends who have Kobo speak highly of it.
Apparently HP ship Touchpad with ridiculous amounts of logging enabled. Disabling some of that gives significant speed-up. I was hoping to get one for my mother-in-law for gmail and music, nothing a full iOS4 gadget is required for.
Hopefully the UK retailers and HP UK are better prepared than the Laurel and Hardy act performed by HP US, HP Canada, Best Buy et al.
If governments are worried about energy security then they should be leading research into safer extraction - the contamination and instability issues make wind look like a walk in the park to implement. Better to work on it now than use inferior gonzo techniques when the chips are down.
By the way I saw one in action yesterday with one of our BB users - Calendar, Contacts, Mail integration quite swish although I wish the accelerometer flip landscape/portrait was a bit quicker. The touch gestures worked mostly although I suspect when they did not it was down to the user's wanting it to work immediately rather than RTFM, given that said user had only had it an hour including downloads and pairing, so opted to just "push harder" rather than learn the correct way to do it. The QR code pairing was very smooth.
"unlike IE, Firefox 4 supports WebGL, which provides hardware accelerated 3D inside the browser"
If your video drivers support it. Want to find out if yours do? Go to demos.mozilla.org (spoiler alert - if you have an Intel integrated chipset from Dell, likely not)
Um, should the Reg not have published iPad2 articles before ship, or the various Androids in development?
RIM may be shipping too late to beat iPad2 but it has to ship because if they can't get a tablet into corporates they will lose Blackberry presence entirely. The key to retaining BBOS in corporate is to leverage existing investments in Enterprise Server.
Seems to me that taxis in a Volt style setup should be able to keep the battery topped up without plug-in while stopped in ranks etc. It is certainly worth subsidising taxis or short hire cars like Zipcar or Autoshare over private cars for hybrid tech since most private cars spend 21 out of 24 hours a day parked.
As for electric - probably better to look at trolleybuses rather than a set of charging points which would be oversubscribed (like the Boris bike points at railway stations). The overhead wire would be problematic but perhaps Bombardier could be persuaded to adapt their PRIMOVE technology for high-density buses.

"the hardware keyboard has been replaced"
Could the Reg please find someone to write about Blackberry, however critically, that remembers that RIM have and are producing non-keyboard BBs NOW?
If you expected a production phone at the show

Seriously??
Windows *RT* because it's short for *runtime*??
That's marketing genius right there.
How it's going to work
Each tunnel is going to be separately wired. The tunnel heading toward France will be run by UK networks - the agreement is not yet signed. The tunnel toward UK will be run by the French networks.
Presumably it was thought the "handoff" was best done going out of the tunnel rather than going in.

As a admin I'd like to see the data
I often get complaints from users about dropped calls but have no direct access to info about when/where they happen and so on. If we had access to diagnostic data it would give us a stick to beat our carriers with - which is why we'll never get that swishy portal idea :)
If Microsoft did this people would lose their sh1t
Oh wait - they did do it. Several times. But this is Apple so...
.ibook is Microsoft's "Open" Office XML all over again.
For more on Cutler
Read "Showstopper" (ISBN 0-7515-1629-5). I just happen to have it on my desk :)
I probably had the same graph
a month after getting BBM. BBM also doesn't need an SMS fallback - it just works.
Second hand UK gear
For the USMC's sake I hope it works better than the Upholders.
RIM might have its problems but...
at least they didn't use " beleaguered, struggling, troubled" twice in consecutive paragraphs while over-trying to be a smartass.
As for the app - RIM have the option of discussing with Google taking that code into RIMs in house app development team - just like their Facebook and Twitter app. More likely though the decision is linked to the easier setup process to get gmail into the main Message app reducing demand for the separate app.
On the other hand
Maybe SSDs on the Latitude E series won't be inordinately expensive now? Fat chance I suppose...
Shorter version
We'd like to ban you from the church if carrying, but we're broke from paying off kiddie fiddlers we moved from parish to parish so we can't do without the collection revenue.
Apple in Zimbabwe?
What are they doing countenancing that dreadful regime for?
(I leave the question of which of them is the more dreadful as an exercise for the reader)
iPad Minus?
or iPod Touch Plus?
Oh for chrissakes

Would Brunel have been able to work in 21st century Britain or anywhere else?
If MBAs graduates existed back then he wouldn't have stood a chance.
End-running FOIA? That will end well

VDI licencing.
" Mike Neil, general manager of Windows Server Planning and Management, admitted: "The feedback we've had from our customers is that our licensing is Byzantine.""
Ain't that the truth.
Bring Nook or Kobo to the UK
Gives Waterstones an alliance with other brick/mortar booksellers, and they'll need one given Amazon's tablet ambition. I have a Kindle myself but friends who have Kobo speak highly of it.
Turn off logging
Apparently HP ship Touchpad with ridiculous amounts of logging enabled. Disabling some of that gives significant speed-up. I was hoping to get one for my mother-in-law for gmail and music, nothing a full iOS4 gadget is required for.
Hopefully the UK retailers and HP UK are better prepared than the Laurel and Hardy act performed by HP US, HP Canada, Best Buy et al.
QNX
Seems like an ideal kernel for an underpowered tablet like Touchpad. Question is what UI to put on top!
god forbid there might be a link
might take away space from all this bitching
http://us.blackberry.com/apps-software/business/managementcenter.jsp
this has got to be all lies
only stuffy banker types use Blackberrys. The Android and iOS crowd can't have been wrong about "RIM doesn't get the young people", right?
shale
The gas industry took a swing at this guy over issues such as the prior gas findings. He made a pretty strong swing back here:
http://1trickpony.cachefly.net/gas/pdf/Affirming_Gasland_Sept_2010.pdf
I'm not opposed to shale exploration per se but it does seem like he has answers for many of the criticisms.
Why would you need 1Tb on a notebook anyway?
Some clown is going to robocopy most of the MoD onto it and then leave in a taxi, aren't they?
need more research
If governments are worried about energy security then they should be leading research into safer extraction - the contamination and instability issues make wind look like a walk in the park to implement. Better to work on it now than use inferior gonzo techniques when the chips are down.
Adobe's crappy updaters
Adobe AIR
Adobe Shockwave
Adobe Flash for IE
Adobe Flash for FF
Adobe Acrobat or Reader
ALL USE DIFFERENT INSTALLERS/UPDATERS!
WHY ADOBE? WHY???
Vince Cable - right all along?
If he's not enjoying a nice dram / whatever he's having himself, he should be
Probable Jobs response to emailed complaints?
"Get over it"
Blackberry Bridge
By the way I saw one in action yesterday with one of our BB users - Calendar, Contacts, Mail integration quite swish although I wish the accelerometer flip landscape/portrait was a bit quicker. The touch gestures worked mostly although I suspect when they did not it was down to the user's wanting it to work immediately rather than RTFM, given that said user had only had it an hour including downloads and pairing, so opted to just "push harder" rather than learn the correct way to do it. The QR code pairing was very smooth.
Just so we're all clear
If AT&T screws up an iOS related issue, it's because they are a bunch of incompetents who can't run a network to save their lives.
If AT&T and RIM have an issue, it's bound to be RIM's fault irrespective of how many other networks don't have that issue.
"films never made"
Books newer than 10 years old shouldn't be on such a list.
ageing platform
Whatevs. At least I can push apps to my 130 users without Steve Jobs' say-so.
Chicks dig BBM too by the way, or so my missus says.
Timing
As a long time FF user I'm a bit cheesed off that this announcement didn't come until IE9 announced something similar
http://theapptimes.com/web-browser-use-the-add-on-performance-advisor-tool-to-disable-unwanted-add-ons-in-internet-explorer-9
RIM does M&A too
That's where the Webkit browser and QNX came from, right?
Firefox/WebGL? Driver dependent
"unlike IE, Firefox 4 supports WebGL, which provides hardware accelerated 3D inside the browser"
If your video drivers support it. Want to find out if yours do? Go to demos.mozilla.org (spoiler alert - if you have an Intel integrated chipset from Dell, likely not)
"vapourware"
Um, should the Reg not have published iPad2 articles before ship, or the various Androids in development?
RIM may be shipping too late to beat iPad2 but it has to ship because if they can't get a tablet into corporates they will lose Blackberry presence entirely. The key to retaining BBOS in corporate is to leverage existing investments in Enterprise Server.
Adobe's sandbox is just dandy
If it didn't break integration with at least one other vendor's apps who then advise you to disable it...
I for one welcome our Cupertino overlords
As long as they bury Cisco/Scientific Atlanta's bastard cable boxes as they do it.
Who put together this quantum state?
Looks like it was put together by a (insert ethnic group here)?
BorisGuardianHybrid taxis

I'd rather Office 2007 Service Pack 3 please
The number of patches required to bring things up to speed now is crazy.
(Oh and XP Service Pack 4 would be nice too but I guess that's pushing my luck!)
Good for Google
My data is my data not Zuckerberg's ... bitch.
How's that Streak thing going anyway?
Dell have yet to prove their bona fides on mobile platforms.
Jump viewed inside the ship
Oh yes it was.
From within CIC when they jumped to the nebula
From within the baseship when the hybrid was jumping randomly.
I just love the other Google Chrome feature
accidentally closing a multitab window without an option to confirm. Open Chrome again, click to reload all recent tabs, and sigh.
