Hey guys, remember our old friend Stephen Elop? The guy who guy so enthused with the idea of management restructure at Nokia, stating how the business model of its devices was not working and then sacking everyone off before taking flight back to the mothership.

Well it looks like things haven't been going too well for the old fella...

I do hope he will be ok, maybe we can start a Gofundme account to help him out in his hour of need?

anybody else remember the article that detailed exactly what happened in the closing years of Nokia? It was written by an ex Nokia employee with input from many.

aaaaahhh!
yuuuup!
Another job well done!
Look at the great things he did in advancing Microsoft.
I say point him...nay!
PAY him to head straight for Apple...
and afterwards go and help Google out...
heheheehee...
Our little maemo community would end up being the last standing...
I doubt the user-community of the others mentioned....(excepting google perhaps)...could do it on their own.
He is the perfect weapon.
Why he's better than corp. espionage, sabotage, any old "-age" in fact.
Lets see who he's "helping" next.
[rubs hands together gleefully in anticipation]

as far as "maybe we can start a Gofundme account to help him out in his hour of need? "....
I think with all his previous platinum parachutes ..he doesn't need bubble gum change...
I think rather setting up a "Gofu**me" account would be better...
I'll help.
Really.

Update: Gofu**me.org is available we could all pitch in and do a memorial there to him.
But on the cheap there is always twitter's #gofu**me if you wish to simply attach an honourable(?!) mention to Stevie-boy.

Thank God!!! Maybe he stops working for ever!!

Actually I was hoping he will show some of his expertise at Micro$oft. I guess they stopped him before he did. Lucky Windows!!!

May be he should join BlackBerry. The OS is doing better with every iteration now. Time to crash it may be.
