YUM! So glad to finally have this arrive. The new Dr. Pepper Blackberry is so good!
It has a great smell from the second you pop open the top and the taste is absolutely delicious as well.
This could actually get me to start drinking carbonated drinks again.
Now, I need to get another bottle of Crown Royal Blackberry to try this Dr. Pepper Blackberry with. My friends in Arizona say that combination is amazing.
I recently drove a car whose whole control and entertainment system was a gigantic iPad-like thing mounted to the dash. It caused me to have a realisation about the #Ui and #UX of touch screens.
There is no way to touch a touchscreen without it treating that touch as intentional. What I mean is: without taking my eyes off the road, I can grope across the dashboard, find a knob or button—by touching it—without activating any function. Touching the volume button or temperature knob doesn’t DO anything until I do it with more force and intentionality. Not so for a #touchscreen.
My mobile #phone (an #iPhone 13) has no dead space in its face. There’s no part of the phone face I can touch without it assuming I meant to do that and I wanted to activate whatever was under my finger. Old iPhones that had physical home buttons also had dead space to either side: a safe space to hold the phone without DOING anything.
Computer keyboard have little raised pips on the F and J keys so you can find them by touch without looking. I do this all the time. But I don’t type the letters F or J. Touch screens have no such affordances.
I look at the #blackberry keyboard in this photo and I see a raised space bar. It’s an #affordance that lets you orient your fingers, and orient how you hold the phone, without looking.
I miss buttons.

I want a #Blackberry again. #RIM... Listen, everyone is buying Canadian, can we bring it back? I'd kill for a physical keyboard or even the track ball. BB messenger? I want it all back.
How cool is Linux?
(This is a pun too sorry)
Two Canadian gift coders have developed Linux code that could cut THIRTY PERCENT of power use in data centres.
We could probably have a better economy, better chance of survivng arrogant men pushing oil, if we cut data centre power use by closing 90% of data centres.
But until then, Linux is a huge gift, yours is waiting for you.

El 10 de octubre de 2011, fue el día que el servicio de BlackBerry Messenger no funcionó en Europa, América Latina y África primero y luego en cadena en Norteamérica, por tres días, causando pérdidas millonarias a la empresa, poco después que Apple presentará su iPhone 4S, lo que causó que miles migrarán de RIM a Apple

@rl_dane@alpha.polymaths.socialFormer #Blackberry jockeys now using #touchscreen phones, I have a question for you:
How much slower or faster are you on a touchscreen compared to your experience on a Blackberry with a QWERTY thumb-keyboard?

@RL_Dane@fosstodon.orgPity the old #BlackBerry keyboards are now completely unobtanium.
This project has piqued my interest: https://www.clockworkpi.com/uconsole
(Pretty decently cheap, too! And can do LTE!)

@ray@m.ie9.org从 iPhone 出现全键盘手机壳开始，说明渐渐有人对目前这种千篇一律的手机设计感到厌倦，并试图改变。其实在这之前就已经出现了像 #unihertz 这样独特的手机品牌。
我也是从这个时期开始换切换到更复古的 #blackberry KEY2。现在市场上清一色的大屏手机实在太无聊了。
I've been rewatching Scandal and seeing their mobile phone usage made me nostalgic for the days phones weren't all the same slab shapes. Olivia had a white BlackBerry Q-something and it looked pretty nice. But in the most recent episode I watched, she and the rest of her team had black slab Windows Phones all of a sudden. *remembering the time Microsoft had lots of product placement on TV shows*
@ray@m.ie9.org最近有點想換 Unihertz Titan 全鍵盤手機。
我自己一直是黑莓愛好者，
黑莓過氣之後一直在用 iPhone。
這款手機在造型和使用上都很接近 BlackBerry Passport。
有沒有用過的朋友分享一下體驗如何？
