R.I.M. = R.I.P.?

Thorsten Heins rim blackberry is dead thumb R.I.M. = R.I.P.?

Is R.I.M. really really dead?

If not, at least they still try to believe in it. Believe!

After firing both previous underperforming CEO’s, R.I.M. is appointing a brand new knight to fight the Apple and South Corea at once. Believe!

Whatever. Thorsten Heins (former dead Siemens Communications guru) is the new brushing in town.

Let’s hope he haz good parachute deal, secured! ;)

Samsung Eats Apple: it was Written in the Scriptures!

apple vs samsung1 Samsung Eats Apple: it was Written in the Scriptures!

So here we are: Samsung dominates the smartphone market created by Apple. Samsung = 27.8 millions units sold last quarter with 23.8% market share and counting VS Apple’s 14.6% and decreasing.

Another bad story for Apple in this end of 2011, is the legal path against Samsung. Turns out it’s not as thermonuclear as Steve Jobs dreamed it.

In Germany, Apple lost VS Motorola for 18 Motorola patents infringement on the iPhone, iPad, Macs, MobileMe and the App Store. Nothing more, nothing less.

In Australia and the US, Samsung is now allowed to sell it’s best seller Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 right on time for the Xmas rush.

And feature wise speaking, the iPhone 5 won’t be anything else in 2012 than a Samsung Galaxy SII copycat, but 11 months late.

In terms of industrialization, Samsung also wins everywhere as they sell smartphones for all market segments from low to high end, under multiple OSes (Android, Windows Phone, Bada), and are also a core provider in mobiles chips and processors, including for Apple (A4 and A5).

So here we are with Apple facing again it’s fate: being a profitable high-end niche brand, but never a market leader in the long run.

Success for Apple was always an epiphenomenon.

Pat Vaillancourt (Canada) is about to break a special nerdy world record: a 100.000 urls tatto on his skin.

Of course, if you want your url there it’ll cost you $35.

Yes, you’re right, that’s a $3,5 million final tatto! Not bad.

But Pat is not the only url tatto lover. Before him was Mrs Smith, this mother in need, who accepter a very visible casino tatto on her forehead for $15.000.

Do European Entrepreneurs Really Fear Success?

fear of success thumb Do European Entrepreneurs Really Fear Success?

An interesting meme started theses days saying Entrepreneurs from Europe don’t meet success because they fear it. That’s a quite interesting concept.

Of course, you can imagine the authors of this meme are 100% Americans. This explains that.

It’s like saying Europeans don’t want to succeed.

Meaning under the hood that success an American DNA thing.

Typical hamburger mentality.

Ask not only European entrepreneurs if they fear success, but also Chinese, or Korean or any other entrepreneurs if they fear success. They just won’t understand what you’re talking about.

This meme is by far the most stupid business concept of 2011.

The real core question all “success-terrorized” entrepreneurs around the world are asking themselves right now is how fast America is going to lose it’s n°1 position?

By 2020? ;)
