CrackBerry users were forced to go cold turkey late last month when the main BlackBerry servers for the entire western hemisphere went down. The investment banking industry was thus forced to engage in a level of social interaction alien to the modern banker, who is most often found in a dark corner, hunched over his hand-held master. "Help me.... I’m cold... I don’t know where I am... there are bugs crawling all over me..." blabbered one profusely sweating, shivering banker. (At least there was probably one somewhere that said that.)
BlackBerry has now fixed the problem, so bankers can once again get their own fix.
