I’m always looking for interesting, sometimes funny, things to read and pass along to you. I never know where I’ll find it, but today I found something in the comments right here on The Loop.

In my story yesterday “RIM is the Boston Red Sox of technology,” reader Benjam wrote this comment that made me laugh out loud because it seems so true.

I am canadian but I just laugh everytime I see RIM in the news. Their phones are years behind, the outage, the abysmal app store, terrible direction, investing 100 mil to buy a cloud computing company a year or 2 to late and most of all the playbook. It’s like shooting yourself in the foot and then trying to shoot the original bullet out. (and further the metaphor sitting and watching your foot get gangrene then trying to shoot that off) RIM needs to design an awesome phone, os, AppStore, than give it away for free to get customers back.
