[Dave999]

Just when you thought it couldn't get worse and Microsoft and Elop left the building. They suddenly shows up again. Microsoft just announced that they are investing heavily in jolla and becomes majority share holder.

Given the amount they have invested in windows phone failure it was just a matter of time before they tried something new...too bad it had to be jolla.

I actually got shivers in my spine when I saw glimpse of this Topic at top right corner "Active Topics".
I think I will see some nightmares this night.

Not worse.

Skype still exists, not the same, but exists.

Nadella loves Linux.

But Jolla would get buttons and windows, it would never be the same.

:D:D Then Jolla would be in "Burning Platform" and Sailfish OS ditched. 8 month later a new phone with same design as Jolla/Jolla2 but with 3 ugly home/back/search buttons.

All I was thinking the whole time was:
"you give me money, I take zie money" ....this is a good thing

Then I was thinking this is Dave999 and its March 32nd, so something's definitely (sail)fishy

[Makeclick]

That was bad one :D

[sponka]

You got me :)

[nieldk]

You need to camouflage the link better hehe.

[abyzthomas]

That was a good one Dave!! :):)

You found the one possible thing that will give everyone in this forum chills down their spine.

Man!!! I almost threw my Jolla away. :o

Anyway, if that happens :mad:, that is the day I will become an iPhone guy.

hahaha
It may be April 1st...
but you know it may very well happen...
I think Dave is just foretelling the future here.
Whoever would have thought back in 2008 that one day Nokia would drop off the device-making planet AND sell a significant chunk of itself to M$ ...of all possible companies.
Don't rule out just yet ...the Grim Reaper (Elop) coming around
:D
Actually I don't know who doctored that photo and put the jolla in elop's hand...but they did a fantastic job cleaning up the blood off his clothes hands and mouth and substituting the crushed baby skull for the jolla

[princefakhan]

@endsormeans and that too for 7 billion dollars.

Meanwhile on Facebook.

Ok. I come clean. It was a joke. Hope you didn't spit your coffee all over your screen when reading the news ;)

Also Hope you faced many fun April fools day jokes/pranks...today.

Updated the headline so we don't fool anyone tomorrow.

Yes, the force exists! :eek:
