Sad shop-shelf-clinging BlackBerry Z10 AXED ... in price, contracts

The ONLY way that your wifes device would delete all the data and do what is called a security wipe is if she entered her passcode wrong 10 times, after 3 times she'd have to enter the word "blackberry' to continue to try and do it wrong.

It is a shame she lost her data and I assume she wasn't diligent in backing up her data.

Make sure she is careful no matter what Platform she chooses. my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with an ActiveSync error cleared my contact list on both my phone and computer, lucky I had backups.

my iPhone4S had a sync issue which resulted in all emails older than 30days to be deleted, again I was lucky I could load an outlook backup to restore my gmail emails.

Icahn sues Dell's board over Big Mike's buyout bid

Re: Why does this story get so much coverage?

@Lars

By going public on wall street you are making it easier to give your employees tangible bonuses based on performance of the company, and you are getting an infusion of cash.

BUT going public results in a LOT of extra financial overhead and predictions, a struggling company is better to be private because they get less negative press and unfortunately the "all press is good press" is really an Actor thing. a major company while they want people talking about them constant negative press make decision makers worried about investing long term in products. because people are not investing in the stocks.

Dell like BlackBerry would both be best private while they recover and redefine their place in the techspace. unfortunately it isn't an easy task.

Icahn is looking to make money off of Dell, he isn't looking to turn around the PC maker and run a brand he'll turn Dell profitable and sell off anything he doesn't think he can use.
