3Com,
Cisco,
H3C,
HP networkingHi folks! So not only has RIM done layoffs but Cisco is preparing for layoffs as well. To the tune of 5000 to 10000 jobs.

RIM layoffsHi folks! So as you may have heard by now, RIM has laid off 2000 people. This is just nuts.
This never had to happen! RIM just needed to pull it's head out of it's own you know what and start to innovate. Instead they were full of themselves and kept going down the same old path.
What they...

BlackBerry,
RIMHi folks! So RIM is trying to come back with an announcement of BlackBerry 7. Seriously?
Talk about a lame attempt at a comeback. RIM, listen up, you need to do more than what you are doing now! You're just doing the same things that got you into this mess in the first place. Your archaic...
