It may well prove to be an excellent idea for the company. BlackBerry had a fourth-quarter loss of US$423 million, with revenue falling 64 per cent to US$976 million. Interestingly, analysts were forecasting a greater loss for the embattled smartphone maker, so BlackBerry shares were actually up a little in pre-market trading over the weekend. However, CEO John Chen remains bullish about BlackBerry's future, saying the company will be cash flow positive for the next four quarters and profitable by fiscal 2016.
Previously he's shown off the two next handsets coming soon, the low-cost Z3 and keyboard-enabled Q20, The company is also focusing on its BBM service and QNX software business, BBM, Chen noted, still has 85 million active monthly users, BlackBerrry revenue has taken a tumble while under a third of iphone xs / x sprinkles case BlackBerry phones sold last quarter used BB10, BlackBerry seems to be having some trouble getting consumers to move across to the BlackBerry 10 operating system, In fact, of the 3.4 million phones the company sold in the fiscal fourth quarter of last year, only 1.1 million were BB10, The company even committed to keeping the BB07 running BlackBerry Bold alive, inking a deal with a new manufacturer to continue producing the iconic handsets..
Chuck, as he introduces himself in conversation, has since married Daphne. Bliss, meanwhile, has gone on to become one of the world's most iconic photographs, chosen as the default wallpaper of Microsoft's operating system. "There's a time of the year in our mid-winter, in January, when we've had rains. The grass is now getting a brilliant green. The storms are still coming through with rain and clouds. While I'm driving this beautiful, winding road to see Daphne, my God, the storm has just gone through, there are some white clouds, boy, I think I'll just get out and make a couple of frames," he says.
Chuck pulled out his medium format Mamiya RZ67 film camera and made Bliss, It wasn't the first time he had attempted to capture the beauty of the hills, though, "That particular spot, or this area of the wine region, is known for that same thing -- the rolling hills, I have been iphone xs / x sprinkles case photographing them for a long time, with film, And yet colours never quite came out the same on Kodachrome 64, the best film you could possibly have, They were never quite green enough."Today, Bliss looks very different to how it did in the late 1990s, For the curious, you can click here to explore the area..
Despite what many people might think, the original frame of Bliss was completely unaltered and unedited by Chuck when he submitted it to Corbis, the stock photo and image licensing service founded by Bill Gates in 1989. Corbis -- which means woven basket in Latin -- had maybe 50 photographers on file when Chuck submitted Bliss. Today, there are over 100 million images in the database. Bliss was purchased by Microsoft for an undisclosed sum. While Chuck can't reveal how much he was paid due to a non-disclosure agreement, it was one of the largest amounts ever paid for a single photograph. He still doesn't know how Microsoft found the photo, whether through keywords or by typing in phrases like "rolling green hills".
"Several years after [Windows XP] came out, an email came to me from one of the engineers, somebody within Microsoft, 'We're just curious about where that photograph was made'," read the email, Chuck continues: "'Most of us in the engineering department think that it was Photoshopped, Some of us think that it was taken not far from Microsoft headquarters in Washington'.""Sorry guys, you're all wrong," he says, "It's the iphone xs / x sprinkles case real deal, it's near where I live, and what you see is what you get, It has not been touched." Microsoft did, however, crop the image for the desktop configuration and pumped up the green of the rolling hill..
Just for fun, Chuck has recreated Bliss entirely in Photoshop, made up of elements from his other photographs. You can see the recreated version here on his Photoshelter page. Unlike images, operating systems have a use-by date. Microsoft will end support, software updates and security patches for Windows XP on 8 April. So what is the future for Bliss, the photo that remains inevitably tied to the OS?. "I think it's going to be around forever," he says. "When you are 90 years old, somewhere a photograph like Bliss will appear and you will say 'I remember that. When we had computers on our desk, that was on the screen'. Anywhere on this planet right now, if you stop somebody on the street and you show somebody that photograph, they're going to say 'I've seen that somewhere, I recognise that'."Although there can never be a true indication of how many people have seen Bliss, Chuck estimates it is in the billions. The worldwide spread of Windows XP means that he has seen his own work in some far-flung places.
"The neatest place I have seen was recently, actually it was in the past couple of weeks, An American photographer was allowed to go into North Korea, One of [the photographer's images] was in some power plant, there's a big board where two men were sitting, What's on the screen? iphone xs / x sprinkles case Bliss.""Under the White House there's something called the situation room ., there were maybe 10 or 15 monitors and what was on the monitors? Bliss, I'm sure before they allowed the photographer to come in they had to clean all of the screens, make sure there was no stuff on there we couldn't share with the world."With a photo as iconic and as well-known as Bliss, there are bound to be people who don't quite share the same exuberance for the image as Chuck does..
