On Tuesday's edition of Tech Teardown, host Erin Kennedy and Motley Fool tech and telecom bureau chief dig through the biggest tech news of the week, from Facebook, Twitter, and BlackBerry.
Facebook's payments business has plateaued as a small portion of the company's revenue, growing ever smaller as the company's ads business leaves the payments business in the dust.

Then, a look at BlackBerry, and one surprising investment the company just made. Could this be BlackBerry's last shot?
