Re: BlackBerry loses almost a billion dollars, blames it on the failed Z10

Not the same. Blackberry is obviously trying to manipulate stock prices because they want to go private. They're very much interested in manipulating the news to make it look much worse than it...

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!

Maybe because it is intentional, at least in part? Microsoft doesn't want or need a new market segment that is a competitor for Windows+Office. If they can dominate this new market segment like they...

Re: Nokia N950 "coming soon" to stores?

The point was devaluing Nokia and selling it to Microsoft. So yes, in that view everything wasteful and destructive makes a certain kind of 'sense'.

There are probably more Qt applications...

Re: Tizen?

That depends.

The most annoying and wrong-headed thing about MeeGo is their promotion of Qt as the preferred (and sometimes 'required') native toolkit.

Linux-with-Qt-required isn't Linux, it's...

I don't know why they chose to have yet another rebranding, though.

Yeah, and that option is to be eventually bought by Microsoft, as a future MS Mobile Phone Division, delivering Windows Phone 10.5 'It will definitely work for sure this time around' edition.

People who 'want to get work done' aren't buying tablets.

Reverting from MeeGo to Windows is a bad decision. Windows Phone is dead, and Nokia is dead with it.

No, it means something else entirely.

The only hardware manufacturer who is interested in openness is Intel, but as of 2011 there isn't an Intel CPU or SoC that is good enough for tablets.

Good lord, that is my point.

MeeGo is governed in pretty much exactly the same way that Ubuntu is governed.

Either you can call both open-source, or you can call both closed-source.
