BlackBerry Friday or Just Black Friday?


If you've ever watched the movie Ben-Hur there is this scene when Judah (played by Charleton Heston) and Messala (played by Stephen Boyd) are about to start the chariot race and they meet up just prior to the start.

These guys hate each other and someone isn't going to come out of the "circus" alive... as Messala passes by Judah Ben-Hur he gives him this evil look and says "today is the day Judah" and Judah stares back at him and says "yes, today is the day." I love that movie and that scene is awesome. (Ben-Hur is the winner of 11 Oscars.)

Anyway, "today is the day BlackBerry..." This could be a huge business story or absolutely much to do about nothing. No prediction here, but check out this link to read more about what is happening from CNET News:

Nick Fletcher in our group has already changed his phone just in case something happens today. It's definitely a prudent move and I salute his vigilance. We will know more by the end of the day. Good luck all you BlackBerry people!
