Blackberry is the Last Hope for Privacy

BlackberryLast week Blackberry announced their buy off price of $4.7billion which was bid in by FairFax Financial. Now you could be asking yourself, what does it mean for all the Blackberry users that are out there? Let me explain some concept to you that i believe Blackberry has been blind on. If you have been using Blackberry, you would notice that even the president of the United States uses a Blackberry. This should tell you something, he doesn’t use an IPhone, he uses Blackberry, and if you have noticed this trend you should have also notice that most top 20 leaders worldwide uses blackberry smartphones. Wait please am getting to the point of all this, ever since Snowden squelled on the NSA, many people have been on the alert that their phones, emails and Internet connection is being monitored. True to that and it just gets worst, let’s continue, Blackberry is the last resort for privacy i say this because unlike most users, people don’t see the use of blackberry. How good is a phone if it’s not secure enough, if your contents that you have on your phone is  being watched or can be watched by a third party. People don’t ask this questions because they are so busy playing with free apps and paid apps that they forgot that everything that they do on their computer and phone has been secretly stored somewhere in Server Farms. Now my worries is not about blackberry selling off their company but that they have been so blind in the past years to know exactly where their market lies. Your Market is in Africa, why not establish something there, yet you go to London and open new factories when people in london are crazy about IPhones and Samsung. Now if you have stepped into the shores of any african nation you will only notice one thing, and that’s Blackberry, these phones sell so well there that Blackberry themselves know that their biggest market is in Africa but were they wise enough to reach out to them? Instead they brought in Alicia keys to start a movement of Keep Moving with Blackberry when you don’t market your products well No one will buy them and thus you will fail. Am Sad for RIM a.k.a Blackberry because unlike other phones they do provide security of access and privacy. Which is the only thing the IPhone and Samsung lack currently. You think your phone is secure, well think again. Your mobile carrier is able to see every phone call, web pages, sms, email, files sent, files deleted just by reading the serials off your SIM card and with 3.5G wireless communication taking those data off your phone is like “stealing candy from a Baby”. If you want to remain in a World were your data is always protected i prefer you stick to a blackberry phone. They are the last stand for privacy.

Malavita

MalavitaMalavita is a very unusual crime story movie. It details about a family who’s father was the leader of a crime gang who snitched on his family and sent the head Boss to prison. Now in this kind of scenario, you know what’s coming, yes you guessed it Death! Now the family was under the FBI witness protection program which means that they will be protected by the government till it seems fit for them to be safe. Now as a crime family, trouble always finds a way towards them. When they were moved to live in France, Robert is the type of guy who wants order where he lives, he’s a killer as well but he demands order in the community where he stays. Unfortunately for him, the Head Boss who was locked up found them by reading a newspaper with roberts son’s name there. The Phrase that was there states “If its Good enough for you its Godunov for me” which was the same words the Head Boss said so it couldn’t be a mistake that the family was living in France. So he sent a clean up crew to pay them a visit and when i say visit i mean kill them all with no witnesses. In all, its a nice movie, contains a lot of vulgar languages but its cool.

2 Guns

2 GunsIf you are hearing this name for the first time, you would be asking yourself, is this something out of the ordinary or is it just a movie that talks about having just two guns? Well to answer that question the movie talks about two guys who are both working for the Government, one is a DEA and the other is Navy. The flip side to this story is that neither knew what the other was into. Neither did they know what their commanding officer knew about them. So this movie stars Denzel and Mark. I like Mark in this movie because it reminds me of The Shooter and how precise he was in his shooting. Coming back to this review, 2 Guns deals with how two people who thought they were friends, became brothers in arms to stop drug dealers and cartels. The movie shows in a very retro way how the CIA collects funds from drug dealers and push up their capital in the World as we know it. Its a lovely movie, its straight shooting action that you will love.

The Internship

The Internship 2013This has got to be one of the funniest movies this year. When you have to funny guys, you can’t just help but laugh all the time. Now The Internship talks about two guys who are out of their prime. They are sales men but they lack the technological know how in today’s world. So for them to be able to compete,  they registered themselves into Phoenix University as freshmen and applied for an Internship in Google. Now these guys have no experience what soever in computing or in computers but they needed a job to keep them active. On the long run they came across challenges but they kept strong because unlike the other guys in the movies they had the courage and the capacity to always strive no matter the situation. In the end Google finally accepted them a full time staffs to be working in Google. The funny thing about this movie is that, if they enrolled as freshmen in a university how come they can have a Job at Google when they just started college. Maybe I didn’t see the side to this but its a very lovely movie that will keep you laughing all the way through.

Riddick 2013

Riddick 2013Just like your typical movie, Vin diesel Stars in another sequel of the Riddick Saga. I didn’t expect this movie at all this year but to my very surprise it wasn’t that bad. In fact this sequel actually made more sense than the last two. The first one was the best followed by this in my books. Anyway Vin diesel as you know is Riddick and he’s a born killer and kinda civil to an extent kinda guy. He was ambushed into another planet after being king for a while and left for dead in a strange a deadly planet. Since the worst was coming, Riddick had to leave the planet so he sent a radio signal and mercs came to kill and capture him. fortunately, he’s such a bad ass that he kills the mercs and escapes the planet. Funny side to this series is that he keeps making jokes on how he keeps his word. like he said “I like to be a Man of my words, are you John!” He said this during a negotiation for him to provide the fuel cells for the space ships that arrived to capture him. In all its a good movie, short and straight to the point.

Elysium

ElysiumThis movie changed my entire perception of how the future is to become. The story line was totally different and the plot was something new. There isn’t much action to it, but the actions provided was just enough to make it seem nice. Elysium takes us to a time in human history where the rich and elite people of the society has left Earth and created a safe haven for themselves in space. Now in Elysium there’s no war, no stealing, no disease, and most of all No poor people. They made this place so good that the poor people on earth wanted to come to Elysium and stay. Due to the advancement in robotics and technology it was virtually impossible for them to come to Elysium, so there had to be a way to do this. A chance came when our Protagonist Matt Damon was exposed to radiation, due to this he had some few days to live. He went to Spider a local business man to help him out and Spider found a way out for him, by stealing cars but not just any car, one made for the Elite which was Armadyne an Elysium company on earth and the CEO was to be captured and robbed of all his wealth. Fortunately Armadyne was planning a coup and every secret was in his head. when that was stolen, Matt Damon’s life changed and Elysium defense Ministry was looking for him. Everything ends well when Matt Damon was brought Elysium and Spider converted the information stored on Matt Damon’s chip to make every body on Earth a citizen of Elysium. The story line is great and its a new concept of the future we didn’t actually think about. Try to watch it, you will love it.
