What’s worse than an Apple chart with unlabeled axes?

Here’s our 2012 deep dive into Blackberry’s downfall.
The Research in Motion story is back in the news because of the (great-looking!) Blackberry movie that’s set to hit on May 12th — and we covered the story intensely during our early years when it wasn’t a guarantee that the iPhone and Android would come to dominate the smartphone market. Here’s our deep-dive feature from back then, which holds up. (Apart from the layout being a little broken. Apologies — it has been a long decade for legacy web pages.)

I found a tech angle on Aaron Rodgers going to the Jets.
I am not going to apologize for reaching to post about this personally emotional moment except: major sports news breaking on a Pat McAfee livestream with over 450,000 live viewers is a notable situation, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter having a full charge in low power mode is an incredible way to live.

Merger mania is destroying local news in the United States.
Joshua Benton at Nieman Lab looks at Gannett, the largest newspaper chain in the country, which merged with the second-largest company in 2019. The two companies promised a lot, but in the end the deal resulted in a much smaller company with far fewer journalists:
In other words, Gannett has eliminated more than half of its jobs in the United States in four years. It’s as if, instead of merging America’s two largest newspaper chains, one of them was simply wiped off the face of the earth.
Obviously the internet has changed the entire nature of news, but not having strong local journalism around the country is a very bad thing.
