Thanks. One of the "side benefits" is that I'm no longer over the rather restrictive social media policy I used to be. Which means - in theory - I'll actually be able to write blog posts with something resembling regularity.

Would the x11 libraries have an opengl strategy for rendering an x-window session?

Re: A word on the ‘open letter’ at BGR.com

Marc Paradise — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 12:29:04 -0000

Fair enough and thanks for posting.

I know that BGR's origins are definitely BlackBerry centric; and I don't actually feel that there's a strong bias against RIM there now. While they report negative news about RIM, they're hardly alone and they don't inject commentary that makes it seem worse than it is.

What bugs me is the ratio of hard, verifable news (about anything, not just RIM) to everything else. That's what makes it hard to accept almost any legit news from there.

I really wouldn't be surprised if it was a legit letter, and certainly a vote of confidence from a former employee helps. I just wish BGR had enough of a reputation for solid reporting that the question didn't need be raised to begin with.

FWIW, I'm a former RIM employee and I believe the letters were written by RIM employees. BGR is the site that most RIM employees rely on for news about RIM. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the company is pretty secretive internally, and BGR usually has the scoop before things are announced internally. BGR largely got its start with news on BlackBerry devices, and it has a special place in the heart of most RIM employees. It makes sense to me that of all the news/blog sites out there, BGR would be the one chosen to air these letters.

I'm trying to avoid getting into the content as there are a few things which appear inconsistent with the background of the letters - but it really is only speculation, it's not provable one way or the other. That's what's so frustrating.

I will say that when I first saw today's letters me initial reaction was ... "So? That's just life in almost any large corporation".

Fair play, Mark.

And seriously, these additional letters appear to be disgruntled employee rants rather than anything else.

What are these letters really aiming to accomplish?

Thanks - I almost certainly will need help with beta testing. The discoveries I make tonight will give me a more clear idea of when that will be.
