RIM still has a profit, though a small one, and my soon be out of cash (they went through more than half of it during the last quarter), so technically they haven't fallen yet. If RIM fails, then it's because it couldn't move fast enough in the huge changes in mobile computing that were triggered by the iPhone and the iPad.
Netflix hasn't fallen yet, either, they may have just shed some unprofitable customers. Clearly, their future is in streaming movies, so getting rid of DVD shipping may help them in the long term. As Casper mentions, they're still better than anything you can get in Europe, so that's a good sign for them. If they fail to renew movie license rights, that's worse for them. Either way, companies fail every day. To declare this to be the "start of another tech bubble bursting" assumes that a) there's a tech bubble now and b) it's bursting. I'm not sure I'd agree with either of these two assumptions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
