July 19, 2012 Roger Lacroix

Is it just me, or is Nokia and RIM in a race to be the first ones to be gone! You would think that each company has the Three Stooges running each company. Wouldn’t Helen Keller (if she were a live) do a better job understanding the mobile market and running either or both companies […]

February 11, 2011 Roger Lacroix
