Default Enormous rumor about RIM buying AltN/MDaemon - 05-18-2009, 07:12 PM
Can anyone substantiate this wild rumor that's starting to circulate? The publicly posted "please keep this confidential" has me assuming this is a hoax.

My thoughts exactly...makes no sense. Could this be a marketing ploy by some web savvy AltN executive? If it is...it's quite smart and would draw traffic to their site.

Gang-with all due respect, let's keep the comments centered on the topic, and lay off the personal shots. The thread will be closed otherwise.

Curious. Why doesn't the Web site state this?

I came across this in a quick search:

[MDaemon-L] Alt-N Announcement as Subsidiary of RIM

Quote:
We are asking our partners to refrain from making any proactive, public
announcements (Web site, blogs, press releases, etc.) at this time. We
will be providing information at a later date that will support a more
proactive marketing communications efforts.

The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
When you take things for granted, the things you are granted, get taken.
Even a mosquito doesn't get a pat on the back until it starts to work.
