Check this out if you have some free time.. An excellent experiement about our evolutionary past and how a creature so intelligent as a human is prone to make the same mistakes over and over.. They are using money/wallstreet as the example, and for anyone thats ever blown up and taken wild bets to 'get back' or 'I dont care' mentallity.. Explains why the failure rate on trading is 95%...

RIMM...thanks AD...here is a bit more info on the Blackberry today...

IcoEdit: Interesting how all these governments are racing to get and to use the data...sure am glad that couldn't happen here, huh? <G>

RIM races to head off BlackBerry bans. Research In Motion (RIMM) reached a deal to delay the BlackBerry ban in Saudi Arabia while it installs and tests three servers in the country that will let authorities check BlackBerry users’ data. The company is now rushing to head off potential BlackBerry bans elsewhere. Lebanese officials reportedly want access to BlackBerry user data as well, while India could take action as soon as this week after the company's offer to provide metadata failed to allay officials' security concerns. RIM officials denied last week that certain countries were allowed special access to the BlackBerry system and promised not to compromise the system's security.
