What is the US HIRE Bill and why is India’s $250-billion IT sector worried? Is the internet dead? What's this theory that OpenAI's Sam Altman says might be true?

Previously the BlackBerry Torch had a slide-out keyboard. The Z15 is being referred to as the ‘Slider’ for now.

As far as sales are concerned for BlackBerry, the Z10 hasn’t proved to be such a hot-seller.

In fact in Q1 of 2013 BlackBerry shipped more than a million units of the Z10 says IDC. In Q2, BlackBerry shipped only 2.7 million units of smartphones running on BB10. As far as the Q10 and the Q5 are concerned, the impact of these phones will only be seen in the next quarter.

For the BlackBerry Z30, the expectations will be much higher both for the company and from BlackBerry fans.
