BlackBerry's dying, Ballmer's crying. Apple won, right? | Technically Incorrect - CNET News

" It's been a week of sick feelings.
No, I'm not talking about staring at iOS 7 and feeling like releasing one's breakfast. I'm talking about BlackBerry and Microsoft.
BlackBerry admitted that it's lost a lot of money and it's struggling to survive. Microsoft, which recently admitted that it, too, had lost a lot of money, said goodbye to its CEO with a flashdance from him to the music from "Dirty Dancing."
In the case of both companies, they stared at what Apple was doing in phones and tablets and declared: "Ach, that'll never catch on."
Yet catch on it did. It was BlackBerry and Microsoft that didn't catch on, until it was far too late.
It all seems obvious now.
Humans are lazy. The easier you can make it for them to have all their information in their pockets, handbags and manbags, the more likely they are to like that."
