THE NOT-SO-GREAT DECISIONS OF EXECUTIVE DECISIONATORS, DARK FRUIT DEPARTMENT

OR: 'P' IS FOR PRIVY
Obviously the company is getting its money's worth from these brilliant execs--the whole floating turd that is Blackberrry would have Titanic'd to the bottom by now if not for these (most likely under-compensated) men. We can only pray that once it does sink (which will be through no fault of their own, mind you) that they will still have wealthy friends and acquaintances on the boards of other corporations which desperately require their services. Please god give them all solid gold parachutes! (Or life boats/life-yachts, in this case.)


""Blackberry’s newest phone, the Priv, runs Android. That’s an unusual move for Blackberry; so unusual, in fact, that it’s confused poor CEO John Chen, who completely blew this exclusive first look at the Priv.

Highlights from the video — published by Business News Network — include Chen telling the interviewer how the phone “runs Google”, saying with a straight face that “everyone loves BB10”, and then getting lost trying to open Chrome. Oh, and apparently Priv stands for either privacy or privilege, whichever will get you to buy a Blackberry.

It’s not news that Blackberry’s execs are a little out of touch with reality, but this is an excellent three-minute reminder of quite how far the company has fallen."
