RIM looks to attract new talent with ‘rim.jobs’

This is really embarrassing, hopefully we are going to find out someone else registered the domain and pointed it towards http://www.rim.com/careers/ as a joke.

I don't think so:

  $ host -t ns rim.jobs
  rim.jobs name server xns01lhr.rim.net.
  rim.jobs name server xns01ykf.rim.net.

Or perhaps RIM wanted this to happen so thousands upon thousands of techies would view their careers page in a simple viral scheme. Though, were I to place a bet on what happened, I would put my money on your scenario.

I doubt RIM unintentionally let this slip through, the "RIM jobs" joke is as ubiquitous as "that's what she said" in Waterloo.
