RIM Co-CEO Flakes In BBC Interview
You can watch the whole thing here but Mike Lazaridis is cracking up. Basically, in an interview with a BBC reporter, the co-CEO shuts down the the meeting after being asked about security concerns in India and the Middle East, saying that it's an issue of "national security."As the CEO of what was once the premier smartphone manufacturer it must be hard to see mind - if not market - share shrinking in the business world and he just can't seem to accept honest criticism in any environment, least of all a taped interview.What does this mean for RIM? Well, not much right now. Blackberries will still rule the IT roost when it comes to end-to-end secure email. However, it must be hard for Lazaridis to watch his C-level friends carry iPhones and Android devices and leave their Blackberries in the hands of their assistants.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/l_G6fWmMPy8/
