Yeah, except for the OS, dimwit.

Seriously, you write a technology column? Now I think I see RIM’s problem.
Dullards like you who look at the shiny package and not at the security, or apparently the actual OS, inside. Maybe you are one of the “morons from outside” that he is referring to.

RIM has strange culture and self distruct political environment.
 
In RIM if a new hired person figure out major problem and introduce efficient approach, both manager and his buddy group member will proof their wrong approach works. just like someone point out driving a car is right way, pushing a car is wrong way, then both manager and his buddy group member will hate you, and proof that 3 person can also move the car by pushing it. cheating email will be sent to some vice president, saying like: see, the car moving, pushing a car is a natural part of the process, in order to deny new hired contribution of introducing skill of drive a car, they have to deny merit of driving a car.
 
It is very strange company culture and strange company political environment, it promote stealing and cheating skill. RIM’s management may be a typical instance in MBA course.
 
This culture deny or steal hardworking team members’ contribution/innovation, generate strange political environment, destroy RIM.
 
So don’t blame CEO, some of their VPs and VPs’ expert generate terrible culture and self destruct political environment.

Move on already.

Take a look at RIM’s revenues, thank you. Busting up a company and selling it off destroys revenues.

RIM was pushing technology, just in a different direction that consumers did not value as much as other directions. You’re off base a bit here…

The “morons” comment is unfortunate, but the bellowing from the rafters coming from all the analysts has been rather ceaseless and most of it is the same stuff: “RIM is dead” or “Break it apart” etc

once you put the article through Google translate it makes a lot more sense.

I wish RIM all the best with their new animation studio, or whatever those cartoon characters were.

He’s a new type of board member that isn’t so focused on making money, keeping a business alive, making smart forward thinking decisions, and making someone a CEO due to their business savvy. I think being a long time player on the company hockey team and a firm handshake is good enough to be a RIM CEO. Way to buck all those Steve Jobs types who only want to push technology forward instead of sticking to the past like a good winery.
