My personal take on this is that at the time that Simon was still pooping in his nappy (daipers for the Americans), Blackberry's were incredible leading edge technology. No doubt Psion are or were another company that could have still been with us and not making terrible car software if history had been different, but... Oh yes, and android rules. Just my own personal view...
The first shadow of someone walking past is actually at 5:21... I double checked because this is important stuff!
Update: there's another shadow at 7:52
@@hudsoncampbell5064 I missed them. Thanks for the correction. I was more busy watching for script slaps.
@@brianjrichman understandable, it's at least a 2 man job to keep up with this stuff, you're doing gods work son.
How many "Smash That 'dislike' Button"s? 5? I think. That's got to be a thing.
May I suggest adding "smash that dislike button" as a Simon Blaze meme?
"You're here for business"
Nah, I'm here for Simons witty commentary. Also jabs at Zuckerberg.
Yeah. You're probably right. No one is here for business.
And the people who are, are usually disappointed.
I'm here for the relaxed attitude. Love your other channels, but this channel is like sitting down with a friend who just loves bashing companies for having done stupid shit. And I love that.
I used to work there - I don't miss the Christmas
"How's your RIM job going? Still getting paid well for your RIM job?"
Thanks family. You're hilarious.
Hahahah, excellent.
I miss the ice cream days 😄

I like the format, ignore the complainers.
Darn tootin
Don't ignore the complainers! They're very entertaining! You just have to handle them right, sort of like Conan's I Found an Error segments.
@@613aristocrat They are the anti-legends and they must be defeated.
I agree! Format is great 👍 also yes Simon I remember blackberry...they sucked
I like all the channels. Different is good variety is good
This is my favorite Simon, we're the same age and he's constantly reminding me through his various references!
I like all the itiretaions of the Simons, but I too prefer the Boy with the Blaze.
He reminds me that even people in their 30's are millenials through his references, because i get most of them despite being in my mid 20s
Handing Simon a brand new script and having him just read it on video seems like a bad idea on paper at first, but it really isn't, you make it work and you make it work well.
Puppet Guy I think if he hadn’t perfected the “radio voice” informative video in so many avenues it would be awkward. I feel like he’s hanging out with me in BB, where he is just talking to me in the other videos. Which he does better then anyone else, IMHO. He really pulls it the hell off!
Thanks guys :)
@@EMurph42 it's kinda weird that his other videos are presented in such a way and this one completely shits on the face of his other channels. It's kinda like watching Brian Williams rap, you get used to the very serious and intelligent persona where everything is thought out and presented with a high presentational value and this one is just like "fuck it. Simon, here's a script... Knock yourself out.... Literally"...
It's a nice change of pace if I'm being honest. He seems to really enjoy doing these, not that he seems miserable on his other channels or anything but he's able to let his actual personality shine and his personality is nothing like I expected, and I mean that in the best way possible
I FINALLY understood a OG reference😂😂
Does that mean I'm now finally a legend?
You have achieved legend status.

I was going to make a joke about the sun in England, but, after googling, found that Simon lives in Prague. PRAGUE OF ALL PLACES!!!
The women are hotter in Prague ;)
@@legallyfree2955 I'll have to take your word for it. The only woman I met from Prague looked like she had the plague. :rofl:
@@I_am_Allan would that be pronounced "plahg"?
@@gqsmooth1969 plague ... you know? Black Plague?
Plague is a disease that affects humans and other mammals. It is caused by the bacterium, Yersinia pestis. Humans usually get plague after being bitten by a rodent flea that is carrying the plague bacterium or by handling an animal infected with plague.
@@I_am_Allan it was a joke. Prague is pronounced "Prahg", so plague should be pronounced accordingly.

BADA BOOM BOOM TSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Oscars give out those insanely expensive gift baskets to all nominees, all presenters, plus the winners get another more insanely expensive one. New and small businesses really compete to get their products in the gift baskets.
It was a big deal a couple years ago when a Canadian woman who sold knitted hats on Etsy got a request to put her hats in the gift baskets.
I actually think a story on the gift baskets and the gift suites where companies give out lots and lots of expensive product (including jewellery and electronics) would be really interesting. Or just a story on how much free product companies give to celebrities and "influencers" and how many sales that actually translates into for them.
Yes. They get real 😎 gifts
I am rarely influenced but if you show me a lipstick colour that looks identical to the other 500 shades of nude I own... I will 100% buy it.
The gift baskets aren't actually affiliated with the Oscars and the Oscars dont like them. They don't get them on the night, they get them like weeks earlier and the Oscars has tried to stop them the last few years. They also only give them to the top hundred nominees. Tech nominees don't get them.
The gifting suite is just items from the sponsors.
@@medes5597 I remember when the gifting suites just gave out small samples, now some of them give away things worth hundreds or thousands of dollars. I remember seeing Cameron Diaz talk about a clothing sponsor who was giving out jeans and shirts at an event and that's how she did her Christmas shopping, by getting freebies for everyone she knew. That pissed me off so much that a multi millionaire would do something that greasy!!
I didn't realize that the Oscar organizers didn't actually have anything to do with the baskets. I wonder who actually puts them together and gives them out?
I know that not all of the nominees and winners keep them. I read that George Clooney donates his so it can be auctioned off for charity. And I can't remember who it was, but a few years ago someone (I think an actor) gave his to his limo driver.
@@Terri_MacKay jesus christ, that's so greedy. Seth Macfarlane spoke about how he literally sends things back to companies or sends them a cheque because if he wants their product, he'll pay for it and if he doesn't, he doesn't want to waste their money. He says that way he doesn't feel like he's taking advantage or that they expect something from him in return - and then she's just like "yeah I'll have everything so I can save money because I clearly don't have enough of it". Ugh.
There was an article maybe two years ago in the Hollywood Reporter that said the gift bags/baskets/whatever they're officially called were organised by a marketing firm who hand picked about half of the stuff and the other half was companies who paid a lot of money to get into the bag, which basically both paid for the other stuff they had selected *and* paid them for putting it together. It went into detail about how the academy has got less tolerant of them as the Oscars gifting suite has gotten more and more elaborate and more and more lucrative and how they went from being given out on the night, to being given out within their limo for the night to what it is now which can be like weeks earlier.
Also speaking of doing different things with them, apparently last year or the year before, Grimes ended up with 4 of them because she went around saying she hadn't got one despite getting an Oscars invite and so various famous people gave her theirs and then the company heard she was asking people and sent her one. So she had like $800,000 worth of stuff or something ridiculous.
Danny missed the turning point. It wasn't the introduction of the smart phones per se, although Blackberry lost handily for it, and no, I never saw that many Blackberries among teenagers, but I did among the young professionals and up for a very good reason: encryption. It was during this time that the public was pretty much informed that your standard phone could be hijacked and listened on if you had the right equipment, and aside from police, the people who had the right equipment were reporters. Suddenly executives and politicians demanded secure communications, provided by a private server with an encryption system that no government had access to, even the Canadian government where RIM and Blackberry were located. And for a while all was good, until it became noticed that citizens in "troubled" countries were using the Blackberries without fear of being listened in by their own government. Bans were announced, deals were made, and to continue selling phones in such countries, Blackberry gave up their encryption. Nearly overnight, the phones were regarded as compromised and dropped including, but nowhere limited to, by the entire U.S. government.
Without the encryption strengths the Blackberry was a poor competitor to the already more powerful smart phones and the rest, as they say, is history.
yup, they gave encryption keys to Saudi and a few other `questionable` regimes and iirc it resulted in people being jailed/tortured/killed as dissidents were using BBM thinking it was secure. The negative reaction when the press published details of these shady deals totally destroyed RIM`s credibility right at the time Apple, Microsoft and Google were gaining traction. Im sure theres a lesson to be learned there.
"dead and berried" BADUM-DUM-TSSS!!!

The creator of the GIF format:
“It’s pronounced JIF”
Every person, animal and atom ever:

haha u funny
Ill say jif when I receive a Christmas jift.
Indeed, Jif is a brand of peanut butter, Hard G bitches.
Its GIF. gef. GEF. not fucking jiffy peanut butter you fucking weirdo
If you only ever pronounce any words the way they were ORIGINALLY pronounced, Old English, pre-great vowel shift, then I'll pronounce GIF as Jif. Deal?

No, Simon, Samsung is just as bad as Apple. They're like two Doctor Evil clones fighting over who can be more evil.
Yeah, they all kinda suck. Agreed.
@@brainblaze6526 Maybe, but Apple and Samsung are the only two I've seen display outright contempt for their customers and treat incompatibility as a feature.

"I'm not gonna spend $1500 on a gimmick" -iPhone users.
I worked for RIM from 2008 to 2010. Everything that was outlined in this video about the BlackBerry devices and its downfall is correct. So very late to the party when full screen devices became the norm and the competing BB devices were just garbage.
And the running joke with everyone was when you told them you worked for RIM, they would say: ha ha! You got a RIM job!
I wouldn't give up my KEY2 for any slab of glass.
Christopher Burke True, Blackberrys were more of a business tool. Whereas the iphone and the like were more for entertainment. I worked for a corporation where they issued us a Blackberry for company use. I had an iphone, but we were barred from using them for corporate communication or emails. Blackberrys had more security than all other mobile devices, therefore less likely to get hacked.
I'm genuinely upset that you actually linked to your podcast, I was looking forward to being trolled
I like that you look forward to it.

The colorblindness was definitely a defect in Zuckerbots programming.

Shoutout to the shadow crossing the room at 5:23.
Yeah. Simon is stuck in his basement, and only sees other humans as shadows on his walls...
Plus the second shadow, the third, and even...the fourth? (I'm not going back to look and marker the appearances, but I was sure that I wasn't the only one to notice the shadows, especially since Simon pointed out the whole sunlight thing.)
Also another shadow at 13:10 lol
What shadows you guys? OH!! YOU MEAN THE GHOST GROUPIES!!!! 😁 Who used to use the technology Simon was talking about. OOHHH!!! I saw them, too.
Simon: NO ONE WATCHES BUSINESS BLAZE!

His standards are so high his next video should be entitled dude where’s my UA-cam channel?
It's all relative I suppose. Although this channel has been getting a lot more love lately.
Simon is all over UA-cam. Idk why I like him so much, but I’m not the only one...clearly. 🥰
:) thanks
Simon: Smash that dislike button, nobody cares.
Me: *reluctantly hits dislike* Uhm but does it, we must test this.
UA-cam counts it as just an interaction so it is all the same for the creators. I love it when UA-camrs are like, "Don't like it?DISLIKE MY VIDEO BITCHES!" Then people bitch in the comments while the UA-camr sits back and enjoys the cash flow
@Simon - Everyone in Canada (anyway) called it "RIM" and not "R. I. M." - everyone knew what you meant when you said RIM, it meant Research in Motion, but also fully inter changeable with "Blackberry".
Us and Finland can reminisce about once being relevant when it comes to phone technology...
@@fatrabbitphoto We sure can... add Nortel to the conversation also! I LOVED Nokia phones, I had them all, and even was using a Nokia for phone and blackberry for email at the same time.... I was with Nokia to the end, and then Blackberry to the end... Doing iPhone now, no end in site for them,
I'm typing this on a BlackBerry. The weird thing is I routinely get "I miss real keyboards" comments. But no one bought them even after the merge with Android software. If they would've done the change sooner with more than $5 in advertising, it might have saved them phone wise.
I dont think they had more than a fiver, come that point.
I had a real keyboard in my phone in 2012 but I don't think it was a Blackberry. The entire back of the phone flipped down to reveal the buttons, so it could be used like a regular smart phone or one with a keyboard. I loved it since touch keyboards didn't work very well for me back then. I'm glad they've improved so much because I think I'd go crazy if they were still that bad. It's our only option anymore.
Oh! So Simon DOES wear pants when he records!
I tend to skip the videos he does sitting down.
Only when I have to show my legs.
@@brainblaze6526 ew
Simon: this is business blaze, you're here for business
me: I'm here for the script slaps, and the BA DA BOOM BOOM TSH
Woohoo, I'm a legend again! :-D Great video! (On a side note: Several months ago , when I first watched the Top Tenz videos, the SW neon logo on the wall initially confused me. It looks extremely similar to the logo of a community college I worked for in east Tennessee: Walters State. I couldn't figure out why someone in the UK would have the WS logo of this college. Then I learned the host is Simon Whistler and confusion was resolved. Just wanted to share this...) Stay healthy, everyone!
I like how the business blaze videos sometimes have 3 different people's inputs: Simon, Danny and Samuel. Almost like watching a debate with only one person actually there.
As a samsung user, I cant smash the dislike button because I'm a better person than that.
I live near the BlackBerry company in Ontario Canada. Back when business was booming for them, we all joked about how much we'd like to get a RIM job.
The letter G in GIF stands for “Graphic”. Which starts with a hard G sound as in great, grand, group etc. So therefore it’s GIF not Jif so you are correct Simon. 👍🏻😁
well yes but the creator still tries to push for yiff
tsartomato yiff is pronounced with a sound like yellow, or yawn, yard. Totally different to Jiff as in jaguar and journal.
@@alexhamilton4084
how.
naive.
The guy that invented the word calls for a soft G, so interpretation is irrelevant.
@@izzojoseph2 vox populi spoke gif so the creator is irrelevant
what do you cal 'em dam things? kleenex? hoover? jello? pingpong? qtip?vaseline? velcro?
Does anyone remember that blackberry that had a massive touch screen, that you slid up (while holding the phone normally) to expose a full keyboard? What was that called? My friend had one and I loved it! I had a Samsung T-456 (yes thats it’s name) that slid sideways to expose a keyboard, but it was CRAP compared to hers lol
The BlackBerry Priv from 2015?
Blackberry Last Gasp.
I LOVED THAT and wish I still had it!
Touchscreen is simply awful compared to buttons for typing. My typing speed goes up tremendously with buttons. I remember it used to be a thing to be a speed texter. Now people do emoji's because it takes too long to type.
Touchscreen does win out for interactivity and ease of use, however.
Fuck touchscreens and button texters. I could murder you all in a text race with numbers... with one hand... AND... blindfolded...
Suck it.

Danny thinks the physical keyboard will make a comeback...how long has he been in your basement again, Simon?
Way too long.
There are models of phones coming in 2020 with physical keyboards. It might only be a briefly lived comeback. The phone manufacturer is called TCL, and I am not sure if this is anything more than a niche company like Vertu. I know nothing!
Apple certainly is not getting this any time soon.
@Patrick Hudson
I posted about 20 seconds early, and it was never explained what TCL is outside of Blackberry.
I am normally one of those people who post early, but I partially assumed, incorrectly, that TCL would not be mentioned at all. The only thing I had ever heard of TCL is that they were planning to release a line of Android phones with physical keyboards sometime around the end of Q2 2020. Since this company is essentially just releasing their version of the Blackberry phone they previously produced, it is not such a big deal.
TCL is apparently not like Vertu in any way!
@Patrick Hudson
I did, but I am also too aware my mistake.
I've been using the very same blackberry I purchased in 2010. My cell provider isn't very happy about it, something about "we don't want to support these devices any longer," but I haven't let a silly idea like that keep me from enjoying those glorious _physical_ buttons.
I wish your other channels were as good as business blaze. This channel is the best and most entertaining for me. I find that the other channels I start tuning out because they aren't as engaging as business blaze
"YOU HAD TO TYPE WITH YOUR FINGERS?? LOSERS!"
apple is mediocre tech for its cost, and its aesthetic lacks imagination. it doesn't make you a fool, you made that purchase for a reason, as did i buy my android for a reason, although our reasons were totally different, by the way, my android cost £1300 and its way better than any apple phone, if people choose to buy a phone to make calls and not because adverts and peer pressure force them to get in debt to look "cool", but if all i need to do is take my phone to work and receive calls, then i wouldn't spend over £100. so stop making such a massive drama over apple and android, remember how old iphones are, about 20yrs ago. they're not even "cool" anymore mate............sorry
Yeah, my wife told me it was jif, so when I said it my kids told me 'get with the times dad, it's gif" I'm going with my technologically advanced kids and everyone else can bug off.
The GIF vs JIF debates is strong enough with enough history to warrant a Today I found out.
@Kevin Ley Jraphics interchange format, you pleb.
I just say Gif because I like the unnecessary rage people have about it as well as the dad pun potential it has come someone's birthday or the holidays.
BlackBerry Pearl was my old phone. My work had a server for them then went to iPhone setup. I remember when you were super cool with a bag phone in your center console of your car. Nokia had one the fit the Jeep Cherokee like a glove. I remember customizing my blackberry with new color, replacing the wheel, the screen other parts were replaceable cheaply. Now you have to replace the iPhone for the most part. Screen was $20, $5 for wheel, $15 battery it was awesome. It was nice being able to text without looking at the phone lol.
We now know that Simon's worst enemy isn't pyramids or getting a paper cut from hitting he script, his true worst enemy is the sun, or poorly placed cars.
Hah ( : thank you
it's actually android
According to my co-workers & friends, the Blackberry did only a couple of things ... somewhat creakily. For the same cost or less, there were more capable devices of better quality(fit & finish, with better apps).
Best. Birthday. Present. Ever.

Danny I had a Motorola Q and Motorola Droid A855 because of the keyboard and the fact it had Android, but with the Motorola Droid A855 with the sliding keyboard I found I never used it but it was a great to get use to the touch screen.
I had the Storm for less then 3 hours and brought it back to get that A855, and before that the Blackberry curve I hated the keys.
You actually have a LAND ROVER?

Certainly not a classic
Steve Mclean you mean get out and lock the hubs? The diff Lock is almost always just a switch on the dash
Steve Mclean I’m pretty sure we’re talking about different things I think you’re talking about the transfer case now I’m talking about electronic locking differentials or air locking differentials to lock both tires on an axle together And your original statement I think you meant to say locking hubs and not differential that’s where my confusion came in at either rate it doesn’t matter like you said it’s business blaze have a good day sir in lovely England
The shadows of people walking by outside of the window are at a weird angle so that it seems like you’re in a basement or in a room just slightly below street level.

Also, if you're interested in the whole Yamaha thing, maybe Danny could look into Zaibatsus and how/why they exist.
Blackberry was the best for texting. Touch screens suck!! The Nokia S70 WAS the bomb too.

How do you really feel about Android devices Simon?
I like and readily use my Android. I even watch 4/5 of your channels on it. Carry on.
I don't really mind either way. If someone was like: "Simon, you have to use Android forever." I'd be like, "Alright then, does it have UA-cam?" And then I'd get the fuck on with my life.

Tell the truth, this is the 1 day a month Danny opens the dungeon window to fight off vitamin D deficiency.

GIF is correct because the G stands for Graphic with a hard G not a sound G ( J sound)
On the most important note of the video, its Gif not Jif.
You dont say Jraphic Interchange Format
Sounds like the Jurassic version of the image format.
I agree with you but for both sides:
For gif: it's spelt that way, the first sound in the decode is a hard G
For jif: the guy who came up with it says he meant it to be that way so as to imply it was fast
The hilarious moment when you are watching this on a BlackBerry key2
Lol same here, Silver Edition
Topic suggestion: The paperless office.
Was waiting for the 'Clockwork Orange' shot when you talked about making people watch.
I use a key2! (For work lol). I honestly love it. If the camera was better, it use it for my daily phone. The way the phone works and is set up is perfect. The scrolling feature over the keyboard is a throwback to the little ball

Two things:
1. As an Android user I never cared much when iphone users would gush about their phones over and over again to anyone within hearing distance. DGAF. But I also don't care for die-hard Android users who take it upon themselves to preach about the greatness of Androids. Android is only for the brave, intelligent and adventurous. We enjoy not being stuck with the same stiff phone all our lives 😂.
2. I forgot. Oh yes, blackberry. My fiancé au I still have our old blackberries, for sentimental values. And also in case their value increases exponentially and we can sell it's for at least 100k a piece 😉.

I’m surprised you managed to miss the fact that RIM had a job listing website for....well posting about job openings,
The website was called RIM.jobs
I remember when Blackberries were all the rage. I never had one, and had a feeling they wouldn't last. Then, they just suddenly disappeared, and never to be heard about again.
12:54 YES!!😂 I love trolling android users 😭😭😭
It has destroyed my family... Totally worth it 👌🏾.
Damn... this brings me back to when my dad would drive me to middle school and he’d give me his blackberry so I could play this game called “brick out” on the drive there... oh, the memories
How did I miss this one!?!? I STILL mourn my Blackberry, & I never cared that I was the odd one out at the time....tho was well past the supposed 2002 peak when I was using it & despite being mocked I used it until my last model would no longer work on my mobile plan (could've be due to being in NZ cuz my US relatives still had them a bit longer).
Besides the privacy, I miss the fact that I could LEGIT message w/o looking at my phone & 100% by feel w/90-95% accuracy!
Yeah, I'm seriously gonna go cry over this loss, AGAIN! ....once it was possible to text & drive w/o looking at your phone & w/o being recorded & tracked at the same time. :'-(
@ 4:36 - You are VERY welcome, Simon! Thank YOU for making such AMAZING CONTENT!!! I look forward to you Business Blaze videos more than ANY OTHER of your channels. It is SMART, WITTY, INFORMATIVE, and (BEST of ALL) HILARIOUS!!! You THREE (Sam, Dan, & Simon) make a FANTASTIC TEAM!!! I hope you guys can keep the flow going and the videos keep pumping out! I wish I had some ideas to give to you guys, but I don't know JACK SHIT about Business.
I would love to hear a FUNNY VERSION of the GEO of NISSAN who sunk away from HOUSE ARREST in a STAND-UP Bass case to avoid prosecution that would most likely have landed him the REST of his LIFE in Japanese Prison (which is NO JOKE - you should look into how they treat their prisoners)
Now Japan is going after his wife or something and that is pretty messed up, but it's a GREAT STORY that is still currently unfolding!!
(I just hope you didn't already did a video on this and I don't remember it LOL)
Wow simon, you're an iphone user? You actually hide your sexuality really well. Nobodies judging you these days tho.
