can blackberry turn itself around? >> they certainly have the technology. they have had a command of the business sector of the market. their problem is that that that of the market is under assault from apple in particular. they have brilliant technology on board. the founders in particular had a lot in that area. the question is do they have the speed to turn on a dime and move in a different direction? >> that is all in the hands of a guy, an ex-siemens employees. he has been with r.i.m. for a few years. >> look at greece, the rest still on hold. > -- rescue is still on hold. >> there are talks between athens and private debt holders. they never reached agreement. the organizations representing the private debt holders say that we have put the maximum offer on the table and it is up to the eu and the imf. you mentioned at the interest rates. investors want athens to pay more than 4%, but germany wants only 3%. at the end of the day, it is not greece's money that will pay the investors. it is imf money and very likely and german money. the one under 30 bi

rim's answer to that is the blackberry 10. that was supposed to debut earlier this year but that launch has been postponed to the end of the year. also, the blackberry playbook was released last april. it didn't have basic e-mail or a lot of apps. rim had to cut prices to the point where they were hardly making any money off of that at all. because of these setbacks, rim has been losing market share as well as stock price of value. for example, in the u.s., in the third quarter of 2010 rim had a 24% share of the smartphone market there. a sizable hunk there. in the same quarter for 2011 that dropped just down to 9%. also looking at rim's performance over the past five years, it hit its all-time high around the middle of 2008. that's coming in at $147 on june 19. of course, it did take a major hit because of the financial crisis, like most other stock, it did rebound in 2009. but as you can see, didn't recoup any more than about half of its 2000 high and in 2011 it's been on a downhill slide and right now it's just $17 a share.

big shake-up involving blackberry. what's the story? >> well, regions in motion is hoping to keep the dow in motion. they lose out to android, ipod, the demand for their once dominant smartphones and also delays in any one product. they're baseically passing this baton. they've been clammering for it for a long time. surprisingly, they said in a conference call this morning that no drastic change is needed at blackberry. that's not what investors wanted to hear. so even though the stock was up this morning, already rim shares are down 77%. they need to convince businesses that they still need a blackberry and that it's relevant to the consumer place. another concern about heinz is is that he is not a visionary. they would have had, obviously, a forward-looking vision to the proje project. and, you know, there's been discussion about whether or not it has been up for sale. that has sort of calmed down. initially with great news, not now, not so much. >> coming up, brand new developments here in that murder mystery involving body parts fo

i'm a notorious blackberry addict. i'm answering e-mails at midnight s that a bad thing or a good thing? >> i'm an addict too, and because i answer e-mails at midnight, i know it's a bad thing. it's not just the rest of our lives suffer. it's that we're not as good as answering those e-mails. there used to be this golden age where we work 9:00 to 5:00. we now work the whole time and at weekends. but there's absolutely no sign we get more done as a result. >> some people perhaps would argue, if you don't respond to an e-mail then, perhaps there's pressure to respond in the immediate time, and the quality of your response perhaps isn't going to be as good if it's at midnight. >> most of the e-mails we respond to, we don't need to respond to anyway. if you go away for a couple of weeks and have the mental discipline not to look at it and you come back, most of the problems have gone away anyway. >> but legislating this, as in brazil, is incredibly difficult because if you do make it official overtime, competitive industry
