Still find it absolutely wild that Microsoft fucked up during the global pandemic and allowed Zoom to slide right into the communications spot Skype should have been.

Fucking idiots.

Hey, RIM/Blackberry's CEO went to mobile world Congress in 2010, 3 solid YEARS after the iPhone launched, was dominating and defining the smartphone world and said, "we feel touchscreen is not the future of mobile phones" and rolled out another hybrid touch/keyboard model like the 5 they already had

Blackberry was $150/share as of 2009 with the entire world in front of it. It's now worth $3.59/share.
