Research in Motion, The company with over 70 million BlackBerry users worldwide, made a statement yesterday:

    “The messaging and browsing delays being experienced by BlackBerry users in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, Brazil, Chile and Argentina were caused by a core switch failure within RIM’s infrastructure.  Although the system is designed to failover to a back-up switch, the failover did not function as previously tested.

    As a result, a large backlog of data was generated and we are now working to clear that backlog and restore normal service as quickly as possible.  We apologize for any inconvenience and we will continue to keep you informed.”

While the problems initially affected only BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS) consumer users, BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) users who are on a private, corporate domain, appear unaffected.

It is thought that at least 2/3, if not 3/4 of all BlackBerry subscribers have been affected by the three-day outage.

Users have been left without data services, from browsing, email and BlackBerry Messenger, the company’s instant messaging solution used predominately by younger consumers, as they are now forced to settle for other messaging options like WhatsApp, 2go, Nimbuzz and Yahoo messenger.

Interesting. . . Simply Interesting thread,

Please permit me to sound redundant, but the number 1 P. is simply EDUCATION

for example for d past 4months I don Google Scholarships on 3d-Animation & Visual effects so te my History tab for Firefox go shock you. m doing dat so dat I can pursue a Master's Degree or some equivalent to salvage what's left of what I cal a career in Graphics design/Animation.
Whether we admit it or not Education in this field is of upmost importance, downloading a copy of Photoshop, uploading some of ur "works" to ur Photo folder in facebook (am a victim myself) shouldnt always b considered art. A proper education & d same pictures which oh so lacked dat one special thing would start been hung up on Bank/Gallery walls or sometin.

Which reminds me of how some peeps just purchase a Canon 7d, Shoots a couple of music videos & hence requires to b labelled a Music Video Director/Visual effects Director/Lighting expert. I know wit no reasonable doubt that it's been taught in schools for 1-2years minimum. That's y Nike wont give u a Brief 2 do their Ad, you arent just professional anuff.

just look at the credits dat roll after a vfx movie, always almost as long as the movie itself
the work is always shared between teams, one guy does d Rigging , another d character animation , then passes it off to the Texturizer , (lol), d Gaffer , and so on.
The work is always shared between peeps dat know what d Heck(paron mua french) dey r doing.

Which Leads to an important question I always like to ask. . .
Are you Truly creative or do you just happen to have an Otigba version of Photoshop/coreldraw/afterfx/dreamweaver/any_other_program

The Initiator of this thread is a blind-biased-beautiful_music-hater. plain & simple
and for every person out there who feels rock music is evil, u need to open their eyes wide shut & listen.
Well I agree that sometimes some rock groups can b evil-looking & all that but which do u prefer, some1 that tells you "This is evil O! Run" or some1 that gets u to bob your head to a cool song with amazing beats and 3-months later you find out he's talking about some satanic free mason mumbo-jumbo
Take 1. [R'n'B] Your lovable Chris Brown wasn't talkin abt som chic wen he sang "fallen angel". Listen to it again and think. slowly. Satan people, yes he's a satanist. Hmmm, do I sense some disturbance
Take 2. Disturbia, (by d name gannn, u'll already suspect it) now listen to d lyrics
Take 3. Jay-Z, Hova, Jay Hova, Jehova, Jehova of Rap (@ least dat is what he calls himself) 
Take 4. Run this town. I'm sure itwill become a Free mason-theme song
and oh so many other songs u'll never believe actually are!

finally in my own view Rock Rocks

Well ama go first,

This year I'm going to BE.
that is BEloved, BElive, try and not to BEgone, BE the BEst, BE everything that I've always to BE,
this year I'm so going to BE.

It's that time of the month(year) nairalanders, where we all make our new year resolutions
viz I'm gonna quit smokin'  , I'm gonna quit drinkin'  , I'm gonna quit messing up with every single girl   ,
I'm gonna quit Lying(too much that is)  , and all them regular "I'm gonna quit quoties" 
and then go on ahead and "disregard" them.

Well this tym you can help yourself and not do that cuz all you have to do is write them down here,
and every once or twice, you can look up this page and check whether you have kept your word.
Then if you've fallen short ask a friend to hook you up with 3000Megawatts from your neighbourhood transformer
and go shock yourself  . . .  just playin'! well at least u'll know where you went wrong aight.
