Posted by Michelle Haag on 12 Aug 2011 5:18 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] As the title says, this video is not safe for work, or for kids really, so beware when watching. With that said, it's Friday and time to have a bit of fun! Singer Cassandra Kubinski gives us her version of Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing, called Textual Healing. There are a few somewhat taboo subjects in the song, ones that we've all heard mention...

Friday Fun: BlackBerry 7 Smartphone NickNames... We dub thee Bold 9900/Bold 9930 the Gretzky!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 5 Aug 2011 7:32 pm
We recorded a CrackBerry Podcast earlier today, talking about all of the newly-announced BlackBerry 7 Smartphones. It's a fun show, so be sure to listen. But by the end of it, we realized we NEEDED to come up with some shorter nicknames for this next generation of BlackBerry Smartphones. Ater sixty minutes of CrackBerry talk tossing back names like Bold 9900, Bold 9930, Torch 9850, Torch 9860...

Joy of Tech takes on RIM yet again....

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 27 Jul 2011 12:51 pm
The jerks folks at Joy of Tech have once again taken on RIM with one of their cartoons, and boy oh boy they are just getting harsher with everyone they do. As always, they do mix in a good element of the truth with humor, which is what makes them clever, which is also why I like to post these up on the CrackBerry blogs. You have to be able to laugh at the tough times and admit your faults if...

Fake of the Week: Knockoff Torch looks just like the real thing (kind of)

Posted by Adam Zeis on 27 Jul 2011 9:40 am
It's been quite a while seen we've seen a good fake BlackBerry, but Scott let us know that he spotted this knockoff BlackBerry Torch. It looks almost as good as the real thing - complete with slider, trackpad and Torch branding on the back - but this fake also sports some dual-SIM action, TV, Wifi, Bluetooth and more. As you can see from the photos it's not running a legit BlackBerry OS...

Ryan and Isaac meet the PlayBook

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 4 Jul 2011 12:23 pm
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] Ok that title may be a little misleading - we’ve actually had our BlackBerry PlayBooks since the day they came out. I’m talking about the Meet the PlayBook tour that has introduced many to RIM’s tablet. Near the end of May, Bla1ze and Michelle had a chance to visit one of the PlayBook packed Peterbuilts. On Canada Day, I met up with our own...

Live and Lost with BlackBerry? Chances of survival are good

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 24 Jun 2011 10:54 am
[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] One day you find yourself in a strange place. All you have with you is a Blackberry Torch, a small amount of cash and your wits to get you through the week. For some, that sounds like an extended version of a great weekend. I recently stumbled upon a short series in which musicians based in the UK experienced just that, back in the Fall of 2010...

The Grammar of BBM

Posted by Joseph Holder on 23 Jun 2011 10:52 am
  In these times of ever-shortening missives of 140 characters or less, people are cramming more and more information into less and less space. This shortening of words and phrases can lead to disastrous consequences. Take this text message for example, "n e ice cream left?" You'll notice that the person texting has used the exact same number of characters to type "n e" as he would have to...

Joy of Tech takes on BlackBerry again... funny cartoon!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 22 Jun 2011 1:02 pm
Following up their BlackBerry PlayBook cartoon, the Joy of Tech is back this time taking a little shot at RIM's Co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie following last week's earnings call. It's good for a chuckle, but seriously, I agree with cartoon Mike L... Clunky BlackBerrys never became uncool! I still love my BlackBerry 8700. if they'd update that bad boy with a higher resolution screen...

Presidential Candidate Ron Paul: "BlackBerry"

Posted by Joseph Holder on 14 Jun 2011 2:52 pm
[ youtube link for mobile viewing ] Ho, boy! The blogosphere is on fire after US Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas) proclaimed to the world that he'd choose BlackBerry over the iPhone any day. Okay, maybe not on fire, perhaps a low simmer. Last night, CNN hosted the first major debate of the Grand Old Party (that's the Republicans for those of you keeping score at home) primary season...

The Oatmeal has fun with smartphones in "Why I love and hate having a smartphone"

Posted by Michelle Haag on 14 Jun 2011 9:03 am
The Oatmeal never ceases to make me laugh, and this topic hit so close to home, I couldn't help but share it. Titled "Why I love and hate having a smartphone", it sounds all too familiar and I couldn't help but chuckle while reading it. The above cartoon is just an excerpt from the blog, as the entire post is too long to fit here, so follow the link below for the rest of the comics. ...
