BlackBerry Move Away from Consumers Unlikely to Stem Decline

blackberry

(Reuters) - BlackBerry Ltd's plan to retreat from the consumer market in favor of its traditional strength serving businesses and governments is widely seen as a desperate move that industry watchers warn will only accelerate its downward spiral.

The strategic shift and dramatic restructuring are fueling fears about BlackBerry's long-term viability. The uncertainty created could easily push a growing number of its telecom partners, business customers and consumers to abandon the platform.

"Perception is nine tenths of reality and if customer and supplier confidence continues to fall it doesn't matter how much cash they have on the balance sheet. Things could get worse," said GMP Securities analyst Deepak Kaushal.
The Canadian smartphone maker, once the leader in wireless email, announced the change in focus on Friday afternoon when it also said it will report a quarterly loss of close to $1 billion and slash more than a third of its workforce, reports Reuters.

I love her very much. We have been separated now for over a year but we still keep in touch. We even sometimes go out for dinner. Marriages go though their challenges. Nike got married at 41 years old so she has her ways but the things that separated us really are not irreparable. I have seen couples that broke up and made up after 35 years.

Pedro Infante Google Doodle: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Google is honoring Pedro Infante’s 100th birthday with a Google Doodle today, November 17. Infante was born in 1917 and died in 1957.

Google writes in its biography about Infante: “Infante’s passions went beyond stage and screen, though they often appeared intertwined.” He was also an avid boxer and he could do amazing acrobats on a motorcycle.

Johnson & Johnson sell-off is 'excessive' in light of asbestos report, says Wells Fargo

J&J shares sank as much as 11.9 percent on Friday after Reuters reported that the company knew for decades that its iconic talcum power contained asbestos. The plunge in Johnson & Johnson's stock price following a report suggesting the company knew about asbestos in its baby powder is overdone and "excessive," Wells Fargo told clients Friday. Wells Fargo, which said it still believes J&J's stock will outperform despite the allegation, said the selling based purely on the outcomes of any talc litigation is likely overstated. "Based on prior high-profile product liability cases in drug and device sectors, we believe any potential settlement should be manageable for JNJ," analyst Larry Biegelsen wrote Friday. "Even if all 11,700 talc cases settled for $280,000 per case (the highest per case settlement amount among the cases we've tracked), the total liability to JNJ would be $3.3 billion. With over $19 billion of cash and marketable sec

How to Love a Woman and making her want more sex

How to Love a Woman - Emotional & Physical Want To Successfully Love A Woman? Home > Relationship Services > How to Love a Woman Loving a woman has never been easier, than when you know EXACTLY what she needs. Ever wondered how to understand a woman? How women like to be touched, held and supported? BUT before you can learn how to love a woman, you MUST sort out any underlying issues you have, because when you CANNOT function to your maximum 100% which means your partner CANNOT receive or give 100% in return. REMEMBER : If you suffer from sexual frustration, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction or any other sexual issue, then you don't have the skillset to love or satisfy a woman to her full potential. This is because you have lacked the experiential learning process that a normally functioning male will gain, every time he is with his partner over a normal sexual time frame not a two minute experience! - See more at: http://nharmony.co.nz/HowToLoveAW
