Interview with BlackBerry co-CEO Jim Balsillie

[tuumz]

@ 3:20, The response explains why Blackberry is going down fast....

[MULESLAX]

My God, Balsillie is an ass-backwards retard.

[josecarlos11]

Wow no wonder RIM is exactly where they are today!!! This dude is sooo clouded by his status he has no idea about anything...Soo sadd...

[tuumz]

@josecarlos11 my exact sentiments!

[garycalgary]

fast forward to today, 2 executives cause $220 thousand in expenses for air canada and inconvenience passengers, because of their douchebag behaviour and RIM can't seem to get it together and will disappear quite soon

Another Nortel, was fun while it lasted

[nanotech2006]

Jim BALDsilly

[Seal13able]

RIM is not that bad

[photoman2004]

3:10 - 3:20 --- sadly he really meant it.

[tuumz]

@photoman2004 yeah I noticed that too

[smirkingdevil]

He come across as arrogant given the events of the past 3 years. He SHOULD have been thinking about growing RIM beyond the Blackberry, but he just laughed that suggestion off. Are ya laugh'n now Jimmy? Especially when your Playbook looks like a joke with its need to be tethered to a Blackberry become fully functional.

[dc619]

@smirkingdevil Yet all people who aren't Apple Sheep are saying its the best Tablet on the market right next to the iPad?

[smirkingdevil]

@dc619 At its launch, the Playbook required the user to own a Blackberry to have any type of functionality close to that of the iPad 1 or 2. "Apple Sheep" don't usually own a Blackberry, thus limiting the Playbook's sales exposure in the overall market.

You should ask yourself whether the people you deem "Apple Sheep" were that way before or after they purchased an iPad or iPhone. The last Mac I owned was the Mac Plus back in 1988. I did not become one of the "Apple Sheep" until the iPhone.

[tuumz]

@smirkingdevil very true...i was also amazed at his nonchalance about the future of rim or diversyfying

[ulyquime99]

His laugh is contagious

[PunPride25]

i just saw him the other day but oh yeah i work for RIM :P

[DavidJavid]

FUCK RIM

[EDWARDGREENE]

where theres passion theres business *cough*Hamilton*cough*

[BigOnes98]

RIM is goign out of business thanks to Apple and Android...

[MadDogMeh]

Hey Jim, you son goes to school with me.

[khmerphilosopher]

Thank you Jim Balsillie, your Blackberry had put power to communication.

[ironmaidenforlife123]

Balsillie was goin to revolutionize hockey. He was goin to bring Our sport back to OUR country. But that leprachaun-looking mother fucker Bettman stood in the way, because hes a cocksucker. I guess this is half our fault for making an American the commissioner. Thats like making a Canadian commissioner of the MLB. Fuck Bettman, praise Balsillie!

[SRRNYRNYM9486]

This guy was going to save hockey, NHL needs to get the hell out of Phoenix.

[LondonKnights18]

This is what it should be...

Oilers move to Las Vegas

Flames move to Kansas City

Canucks move to San Diego

[Jam13598]

@portugebulldog

Are you serious!!!!? Sure the 4 teams are from the u.s but the best players on those teams and still today are CANADIAN!!!!!! Americans are so fucking cocky even though they have nothing to be cocky about your players are shit. so shut up!

[portugebulldog]

cans are so stupid! 4 of the 6 original six are u.s teams u fucks cant even support ur own sport. or start ur own shit. oh bty nobody might like us but nobody knows u fucking exist. that why u always go around saying im from canada !!!! no one gives a fuck !!!!!

[matthewm888888888888]

[portugebulldog]

@matthewm888888888888 lol that dont change the fact that you are from canada. sucks to be you. o lay o lay o la muther fucker !!!

[matthewm888888888888]

@portugebulldog No it changes the fact that you're an extremely dumb fuck.

[carlandsimon]

[younesom]

[drksi99]

REJECTED BITTTTTTTTTCH

suck my balls Balsilie...

who the fuck wants to bring a team to Hamilton (aka. ASS crack of Canada)

bunch of fucking trashy ass mofos in Hamilton

[huso20]

he's choosing his words really carefully..lol

[julianoa4l]

like iv said over and over and over and over again

hamilton will not get a team..

are your serious? hamilton?

we all know whats going to happen

big name players wont want to play there

and besides mlse wont allow it

[Xbox360fana]

Yah they will do you know how much fan support hamilton will get its like crazy loud building if they go there. It would be awesome to play there.

[knockoutbeatz]

i live in nova scotia but was raised n winnipeg.. I would love to se the jets return to winnipeg... hockey should be where it belongs.. CANADA

[MGMroberT]

Exactly, fuckin Bettman should let Canada have a team! WInnipeg, or Hamilton would be amazing!

[fu4fun3333333333]

actually ontario did have an NHL team before. a small town in ontario called kenora once had the stanley cup winners in 1907. lol bring back jets!!!!!

[fu4fun3333333333]

bring back jets fuck phoenix!!!!

[BSZK]

@fu4fun3333333333 happened

.

[persiangodfather]

JB for PM!!

[Maxie1111]

Just get one team in Canada so it can knock the short man off his high chair!

[streetcarjay]

Hey Jim, If you're going to move the Coyotes out of Phoenix. Don't move them to Southern Ontario. That's Leaf and Sabre Territory. Move them back to Winnipeg.

BRING BACK THE JETS!!!!!

[JBML007]

Yeah they should go back to Winnipeg....bring back the JETS so the canucks can knock them out of the playoffs again in 7 games like we always used to..lol....

it will go to southern ontario whether you or i like it or not. Winnipeg's time will come when Bettman is fired

[OneWorldOneLife]

first, there's more people in ontario = MORE FANS!

second, ontario deserves a winning team!

third, it's impossible to get leafs tickets so we need another hockey team to watch!

Long Live Hockey in Canada. :)

[AceOfSpade1234]

Agreed. Not that the rest of Canada aren't fan, but a another team in Southern Ontario would sellout nightly, its simple business, Bettman, let it go.

If it didn't go to Ontario, the next place would have to be Quebec I think.

[tend]

"I don't like feeling like a border in my own house" I think refers to having to live under a ruleset, being dictated of what he can and cannot do with regards to hockey.

Should of asked him how he feels about the Toronto Maple leafs, because that's the real reason why you will not see a club in Hamilton or KW.

[tokinjoeblow]

Ontario doesnt need another hockey team you Ballsilly asshole, how about moving Coyotes back to Winnipeg. bring the Jets back where they always belonged !!!

[roybains]

Fuck you and you beloved leafs. Raising ticked prices and shit. NEver winning a fucking stanley cup.

[bradthetank]

his daughters in my foods class!

[musicgeek3]

I have a very Crazy insane completely nuts plan if i was a billionaire I would buy the atlanta thrashers then I would trade kovalychuck ( i probably spelt that wrong) for Johnathon Towes and then move the team to winnipeg and build a NEW mts centre of course! so if there are any billionaires in winnipeg or even just Canada crazy but I will let you have my idea if you have the $

[ezzerdamoose]

I could use a RIM job ;)

[TamerlanePNR]

My Dad works for RIM. It's a great company
