me too! did you notice what looked like a "viewing ring" at the top of the tower in the video? i wonder what all the wind sounds like up there, and if birds will circle it all day, etc.
the top comment right now has a reference to the EIA which states that the average homes uses 10,896 KWh in a year. divide by 8,760 and you get 1.24 KW average
if you think about the temperatures and pressures inside of modern combined cycle gas fired power plants, they need an exceptional amount of maintenance and repair. i'm sure the dirt loading is going to be a problem for these guys, but nowhere near the complexity and cost of super heated steam lines and huge boilers.
My point was that the BBC reporter was trying to create an issue out of something that is a core principle of the company (and something they do well in fact) and is intentionally misleading. I was trying to show the ridiculousness of it and help justify why the CEO got flustered and ended the interview.
So RIM is secure, the CEO is proud of it, and the question inferred that they're not secure.
Craigslist is free, the CEO is (probably) proud of it, and a question that infers that they have a problem because they don't charge for listings would be similar.
Rory asked an intentionally loaded and HuffPo-like question;
"Can I move on to the problems you've had in terms of security...and your various arguments you've had with the Indian government and a number of governments in the Middle East"
This is like asking Craigslist about their "issues with revenue" since it's free to post anything outside of jobs, and being free is one of the key features that defines Craigslist. Craigslist doesn't have issues with being free, OTHER PEOPLE (like newspapers) have issues with the fact that Craigslist is free. Same with RIM, OTHER PEOPLE have issues with the fact that RIM is very secure. The question implied that RIM has issues with their security.
Worst is BBC then tried to act like he wasn't sensationalizing with their take on the question Rory asked...
"...he asked a question for BBC Click about RIM's problems in India and the Middle East, where governments want to gain greater access to the tight security system used for Blackberry's business users."
No he did not. The above question is framed correctly, and I'm sure would have gotten a response.
