Lately the main news related to Research in Motion are related to institutional issues and market innovations. The Canadian company is having a hard and know that before the arrival of BlackBerry 10 (probably his last letter) is required to take the “survival mode”.
RIM spokespeople confirmed the realization of new layoffs to “save” U.S. $ 1,000 million by the end of fiscal 2013. It was unclear how many workers were affected by the measure, but close to the company say the cut was applied in several areas of the company, including manufacturing and sales.
Rumors point to 6 000 workers would be laid off, but for now it is impossible to confirm or deny that figure. It is an unfortunate situation, but not the first time Research in Motion must resort to a cut of this type. Recall that last year the makers of the BlackBerry franchise were forced to dispense with 2 000 employees.
The new layoffs get a little more pressure to the arrival of BlackBerry 10. The new operating system is one of the latest RIM hopes to overcome the market and knows that to do not only need good quality devices, but a large community of developers.
On this reason the U.S. company has already provided over 5 000 teams worldwide developers and hopes the move will serve to re-emerge in a market dominated by iPhone and Android.

was inevitable that this happen at some point . A couple of days the people at Google we played a great joke with Gmail Motion . The alleged e-mail control over body movements was a great idea, but was only as an initiative of April Fools. But now it’s real .
UsingKinect, how could it be otherwise, a developer was able to control your e-mail taking advantage of the same series of movements that showed the Mountain View video demonstration on their false . The creators recognized that it is something not very useful, but at least demonstrated that this technology is more viable than it looks .
id=”more-14565″> A point to note is that the developers of this method have already worked with Kinect. Long talk about them because able to control the popular World of Warcraft with a series of gestures . And now back to the ring making a fun Gmail Motion reality.And if you’re asking about the movements generated, it is noteworthy that it was possible the recreation of the most fun. To open a message you must imitate the movement to open an envelope to respond is to point the thumb behind the shoulder and to send you need to “lick the stamp” .
Then I leave the video with this fun representation of motion achieved with Kinect Gmail. In the clip you can see the Internet to download the necessary software and try this experiment for yourself (provided you have the Xbox 360 controller, of course).

seems that movement control is the future in all areas relating to computer . This new behavior is inherited from video game consoles, and it seems that (at least for now) there are no predictable limits to its application. E-mail handled the body is the latest development of this field .
And how could it be otherwise, Google is behind this initiative. Gmail Motion is the new project company in Mountain View , through which it intends to control this popular e-mail service using a series of commands pretty nice body and individuals .
id=”more-14552″> According to the official explanation, this new type of email is managed through any web camera thanks to a special algorithm developed by the people finder . For this new proposal, Californians went to a number of specialists in paralanguage, movements and signs.
Google’s mission is to change the concept of what is now known as e-mail. The contributors to this project indicated that human conversation consists by 84% by body language , and the idea is to move the Motion Gmail feature to something intangible as the virtual messaging.
explanatory video will to open an e-mail must imitate the movement of opening an envelope ; to respond should a thumb pointing backward, and to answer to all the contacts you repeat the same movement but with both hands . And Google has published a manual with basic movements of writing that can be downloaded from here .

And when we prepare and we did a good warm up for ourselves ridiculous in front of our webcam … see this! 
Good for Google and its fun spirit
