But to my knowledge there has been no organized boycott of a Tom Cruise movie that ended with the powers that be giving his part to someone else.
Would you be ok with someone pushing the movie studios to not give Tom Cruise work based on his religious beliefs?

As posted above, Android 4.2 has exactly that. You can log in into your phone as two different users and have work and play perfectly separated.

So you can set up one user account for remote wipe while the other remains untouched?
BB Balance isn''t user accounts but closer to running two instances of Android in a VM.

You never had to restart it to get a device working again? No pushing of service books and in general it being a pain in the ass?

In my company the BES has uptimes measured in months. Pushing service books almost never, except where the user has really messed up hvis phone.
Could it be that BES for Domino is more stable than BES for Exchange?

The Germans used concentration camps for a lot of people, not just the jews. In fact, later in the war they had two different classes of camps. Konzentrationslager and Vernichtungslager. The last can be translated as annihilation camp, and it was at these that the truly massive murders of jews occurred.
Many at regular concentration camps were political prisoners, homosexuals and so on.
I was taught about this from a teacher in my high school who was sent to German concentration camp for taking part in a student protest in occupied Norway.

>>> The Swiss Bank Account model is also what allowed jews in Germany to keep some of their family fortune out of the claws of the Reich. Is that so evil? >>>

State your reply after considering that those accounts went then into Swiss claws, they were lost anyway.

If Death had asked each jew killed in a camp: DO YOU WANT YOUR MONEY TO GO TO THE NAZIS OR TO ANYONE ELSE? The answer would in 99.999 % be "anyone in the whole world except the nazis"

And that is ignoring all those who either were able to get away earlier or who managed to survive. They got their money back.

BB10 supports ActiveSync. So BES will no longer be needed for email integration with Exchange.

Making BB yet another Exchange client among many. What does it bring to the table here?

It means that you can use a BB10 device in a BYOD setting without IT having to install BES. Same as with an Android or iPhone.
If they want more control over the device, IT can choose to use BlackBerry Fusion which gives them similar control as BES.
Why are more options a problem?

TBH I saw this coming a mile away when I first heard of the DSi having a camera. I'm just waiting for the case of a refurbished 3ds with pics a teenager took of themselves nude.

But if you buy a refurbished 3DS with pics of a teenager, doesn't that make you guilty of both possession and purchase of kiddie-porn?

And an interesting thing about this case - Ericsson is doing to Samsung what Samsung is doing to Apple, and indeed, Ericsson's arguments are practically identical. It's a very interesting situation, to say the least. (Likewise, it's probably similar to the rates Google/Motorola are asking from Apple and Microsoft and such, too.

So, the smart thing for Samsung to do is to take it to court, make sure they lose and then use the loss as precedent against Apple.

The micro-USB charger for the phone DOES charge the Playbook.

But due to the current limitation in the phone charger it will only charge it when the playbook is in standby mode. If the playbook is in use the phone charger only supplies enough current that the playbook runs on power from the charger and thus does not use the battery.

There is no possible way for a 500 mA charger to charge a device while the device is using 450-500 mA to stay on.
However the Playbook charger which delivers more than 1A over micro-USB works perfectly fine as a quick charger for a BlackBerry phone.
Why would it have been better to NOT use micro-USB??
