Submission + - Facebook and Whatapp discontinue support for Blackberry (canadajournal.net)

Meshach writes: Today it has been announced that Facebook and WhatApp have both discontinued support for Blackberry smartphones including BlackBerry 10 and BBOS platforms. Apparently Blackberry fought to have the support continue but in the end they were not successful. BlackBerry has had to replaced their official Facebook App with a native app that uses a simple web interface.

And which of these has the least regulation? And which has the higher chance of injuring or killing someone? Amazing that they want license plates and insurance for "model aircraft", but apparently you can buy a gun and just start shooting it, no safety classes, no training, not even a seatbelt required.

People have flown these model aircrafts next to airports and runways causing real aircrafts to be unable to take off and land causing huge inconveniences and costs to thousands of people. It is not just about what has the chance to injure or kill someone but costing whole industries lots of time and money.

If you TRFA here is what happened:

The company was having trouble in 2013 so it laid off some employees

In 2014 the company started doing better

The employees who were laid off in 2013 sued and won

The cost of dealing with the lawsuit caused the company to again experience hardship. This time they closed there doors.

So it had nothing to do with a severance package. When the company started doing better they were forced to compensate employees that were fired when the company was doing badly.

The article asks:

I was preparing a book for one of my clients and as I am uploading the photos, which are personal, the first thought was... should I really be uploading these photos to this website, we just met?

The answer is no, of course you shouldn't trust any website. If you want it to remain private, leave it off the internet.

I assume that whoever is speaking in the article has a job / contract to prepare these photos for clients who have requested that they upload the photos to the service. In that case leaving them off the Internet is not an option.
