Google's head of mobile advertising has put together a little show-and-tell project, The Busy Executive's Guide to Winning With Mobile, which looks at strategies for success in the mobile space. The thing is, if you don't already know what the content is, you really shouldn't be running a company. Or have access to firearms. Or heavy machinery. Or livestock.

The BlackBerry and PlayBook maker will return its focus to the enterprise after reporting sizeable losses and seeing its former CEO leave the board. Will the new boss's brutal honesty help the company turn things around?
