Research, no motion: How the BlackBerry CEOs lost an empire

This article has been splashed on the front page the day RIM released their only major update in months, PlayBook OS 2.0. This is a big day for RIM and to push this as their #1 article, ahead of the article on the OS 2.0 update, is like kicking RIM when it is down.

I've heard folks on The Verge complain that RIM grants interviews only to outlets that cover them favorably (and so, not to The Verge). And now this. Is this a way of getting back at them?

The Verge is really young as a website (albeit influential), I love it to death and will continue to use it. But this sort of obvious bias makes me lose respect for them.
