You're a hobbyist. If things go horribly wrong while you're playing with your tech you just lost a couple of hours or a couple days or whatever it takes for you to correct the mess. I envy you deeply. 
Some others that are a bit less fortunate than yourself have to maintain a release engineering team on site, rollout potential updates to a couple of testbeds, check for compliance and compatibility issues with the rest of the infrastructure, maintain changelogs, schedule downtime, having to rollout updates while maintaining 4 9s availability, and SHIVER for weeks or months before even thinking of touching production gear.
Since you can afford the downtime then sure, play along.  |
so what are u saying that these people are rushed hence why they put out sh*tty software? What's that got to do with me the end user? I pay money for a device and service to make sure these "lab monkeys" as how u essentially described them, release proper software that functions. Im not concerned with maintaining changelongs and 4 9s availability...i am however concerned with paying 500 dollars for a phone that lasts 3.5 hours on a single battery charge and has software that kinda sorta maybe works while paying 40 dollars a month to use that software, know what im sayin.
i love blackberries don't get me wrong, but man...they need a visionary. Someone who can really change things up and bring them to the 21st century. Where ever i go, people tell me im stuck in the 90s with my bold and tell me to use an iphone. I say why do i want a phone made by a socialist? lol. i escaped from europe during the russian occupation, i don't wanna go back lol.
All i said was that i can see why they're immensely falling behind, thats all. Just an observation. no need to get ur knickers in a bunch miss.
and regarding my macbook, i don't have to worry about code leaks cause there are never any problems. I d/l the software from very reliable sources and sometimes i get it on a DVD all ready for me.
I love new technology on all fronts. But with the BBs i feel like i'm traveling backwards in time lol. like im de-evolving.
