En pocos años, BlackBerry perdió su aura de pionero en teléfonos inteligentes como ícono de esta nueva tecnología, y pasó a ser víctima de su incapacidad para seguir el ritmo de las innovaciones de sus rivales en un mercado altamente competitivo, señalaron analistas.

La firma canadiense dijo el lunes, tres días después de haber anunciado el despido del 40% de su fuerza laboral, que sería adquirida por un consorcio liderado por el fondo de inversiones canadiense Fairfax, su mayor accionista, por USD 4.700 millones. El mismo día, Apple publicó un récord de ventas de su nuevo iPhone.
Hasta hace unos años, BlackBerry era considerada la creadora más genial de teléfonos inteligentes -y hasta la más importante-, pero perdió fuerza al no poder seguir el ritmo impuesto por sus rivales.
"No pensaron que alguien los podría suplantar", explicó Gerry Purdy, analista de Compass Intelligence.
Purdy dijo que BlackBerry, llamada Research in Motion (RIM) hasta enero pasado, cuando adoptó el nombre de su teléfono inteligente insigne, tardó en reaccionar a la amenaza de Apple con el lanzamiento del iPhone en 2007, y al surgimiento, el mismo año, de los smartphones equipados con el sistema operativo Android de Google.
"Su gran problema fue retrasarse en lanzar un sistema operativo avanzado", señaló Purdy a la AFP.
"Habían desarrollado uno en 2010 pero les llevó tres años ponerlo en el mercado. Y eso fue tres años después de la salida del iPhone. Así que fueron seis años. El mercado estaba cambiando demasiado rápido", agregó.
Roger Kay, de Endpoint Technologies Associates, señaló que BlackBerry no vio el riesgo que suponía la competencia.
"BlackBerry se la jugó al teclado físico, pensó que las personas que normalmente escriben (en sus computadoras) necesitan un teclado" en el celular, dijo Kay.
"Cuando decidió tener una pantalla táctil ya era demasiado tarde. En esta industria, si uno se saltea uno o dos ciclos tecnológicos, está perdido".

  1. When you apply for a position in a company, you’d most likely be expected to take drug testing. And, if you fail, it will forever cast a shadow on your career and kill your chances of landing a good job at a reputable company or government department. So, what should you do? Just because you enjoyed that occasional cannabis product or used it for a health issue, it seems unfair if you are deemed ineligible for a job. Right? Now, most drug tests are urine sample-based. It includes laboratory-grade synthetic urine, a temperature indicator, and 4 sticky hand warmers. All you have to do is heat up the synthetic urine in the microwave to get it to body temperature.

You just need to know how to buy the right one and the trick to using it. Lucky for you, this guide will give you all the information you need to pass the horror that is a urine drug test. In simple terms, synthetic urine is fake urine created in a laboratory. This concoction duplicates the essential chemical and visual properties of urine biologically produced by humans. It is typically made up of urea, uric acid, creatinine, and other such compounds. Synthetic urine is becoming an increasingly popular and in-demand product. This demand is not just for passing drug tests anymore. Drug testing centers today also use fake urine to test their equipment. It can also be used to test the impact of urine on domestic products like cleaning agents and diapers. There are essentially two types of synthetic urine – liquid and powdered. Liquid synthetic urine comes in concentrated liquid form. With the powdered form, the synthetic urine is made by mixing water with the dehydrated urine powder. Both are the same in terms of their components. The main difference lies in the fact that you are responsible for adding water to the powder for the final synthetic urine. This may be an inconvenience to some. So how do you use it to pass a urinalysis test? All it takes are 4 basic steps to use synthetic urine. Step 1 – Prepare The Urine Sample With liquids, this step is eliminated. However, if you are using a powdered form, you will need to prepare it with water in advance. Step 2 – Load The Fake Urine Belt Synthetic urine kits come with syringes and belts that allow you to discreetly use the fake urine for the test. Step 3 – Heat The Urine Sample You can heat up the formula with heating pads that work within an hour. Otherwise, many also use their body heat to reach the right temperature. Step 4 – Practice And Perform The Test Once heated to the right temperature, you are good to go. To make sure you can discreetly pour the sample into the container, practice doing so a few times. This way, you won’t fumble during the actual test! That would be a definitive yes! Synthetic urine manufacturers leverage years of research to create a chemical composition that cannot be differentiated from real urine. At this point, you may be wondering – why not just use someone else’s sample? Here’s why: • Synthetic urine is more hygienic to store and lasts longer than real urine • Human urine can give false positives if the person uses any medication or has food containing poppy seeds Popular synthetic urines are designed explicitly for urinalysis tests, so you are guaranteed negative results. Here are some characteristics that every quality synthetic urine will display: Color Labs can immediately tell when the color of the fake urine looks a bit off. Urochrome is the chemical responsible for giving natural urine its color, ranging from pale yellow to dark amber.
