On Monday, some BlackBerry users experienced their second outage is less than a year. For three hours, many — but not all — users were unable to access their e-mail accounts using their handhelds. Exactly what caused the system failure is still unclear: Waterloo, Ont.-based Research In Motion said it is looking into the problem and will provide more information once it is clear what happened. The lack of communication has dismayed some dedicated BlackBerry users.
People who permit themselves to become inextricably dependent on technology and the perceived need to be in touch with everything an everyone 24-7 reap what they sow. I say, don't get pissed off at RIM. Take a long hard look in the mirror and get pissed off at what you have become. Roll with the punches and quit complaining. I would never employ someone who is not able to function without a tether to their email or IM.
