"crackberry" mmmm smacks of racism....would you have called it crackberry if it was an old white guy?
Everyone I work with has a Blackberry. I refuse. My manager mentions it EVERY time I have a review. I won't have one. I want to be in control of my life.
***** would you have called it crackberry if it was an old white guy? *****
Yes.
Have you never heard the term "CrackBerry"?
Hell, I've used it myself no fewer than 27 times on this blog alone.
Finally, a president that truly understands technology. Bush was the first to Google, now comes Obama who will take it to the next level.

You are lol dude.LOL
What is the big deal, crackberry, applies to white, black, asian, don't be retarded guys. Crackberry just happens to rhyme with Blackberry, what would you have called a device that a given person is addicted to and just happens to be showing and mentioned in a blog? Exactly..
I don't think it's racist at all. Crackberry addiction is pretty universal and affects most people who have them. The new information provided by the Blackberry stimulates the brain, which can be addictive. However, the frequency of notifications and amount of time spent using these devices can be pretty disruptive. Can you imagine President Obama's Blackberry going off in the middle of a public address or important meeting? This is the real issue. According to a blog I recently read (http://www.touchmarketingblog.com/), the disruption of these devices will cause a social backlash where people’s lives are constantly invaded. Even though Obama is tech savvy, he can’t exactly play around with his BB during meetings, while America struggles financially.
