What business does this guy have deciding what does or doesn't empower women in tech? Where is his evidence or personal experience here? I'm certainly no expert in this area, but couldn't it be better listen to the opinions o

As a user, I trust Apple far more with push notifications than I would a third party.

I will never for the life of me understand why pointing out that some people have been fortunate to have an easier path in life than others is so offensive to some folks. I think people see it as a way to try to diminish what some have acco

I can't help but think that they should've done this 2 years ago. While it's true that this could have accelerated the exodus of users from BB to iOS/Android, I think a cross-platform, successful BBM would've been an invaluable beachhead in
