    Does anybody recognizes the building and the background?
    Is it in Espoo?

    Can we confirm the shot was made yesterday (what was the weather)?

    I gather he took a flight from the conference, paused for some time and gave interview.

    In that photo, Eflop looks terrified by the N9. It looks like a perfect image for the content of the article. Too perfect to be a true photograph.

    Photoshop?

    That's from Keilaniemi, Espoo. In the picture, you can see the Neste HQ building on the background on window. The picture text also says that he has just returned from Singapore on a Finnair flight.

    As Sampsa Kurri from Muropaketti noted:

    I won't translate it since he has been seen personally writing here, but Elop's statement might mean that Nokia won't make MeeGo it's top priority OS again, but will keep on with Windows Phone -strategy.

    Still Elop's timing is the worst possible and he treats the device wrong. Not a single positive comment, it's all about the Windows Phone 7, baby.

    That means, he was very interested in emphasizing the N9 is not the future, but WF7. I don't know about Singapore-Helsinki, but it takes between 12-13 hours between Singapore-Frankfurt + 2x jet lag.

    Actually the article states:

    "After returning early in the morning from Singapore, CEO Elop is praising the pace of change of Nokia."

    So this has been made after the trip. Mr. Microsoft is a fast sabotager.

    EDIT: Oh, this was already noted. My bad.

    Well, the first time he set Meego on fire wasn't clearly enough. There was still some life in the old penguin and possibility of people buying and/or doing 3rd party software for Meego.

    So, I bet he went to that Neste Oil HQ shown on that picture just behind Nokia HQ and asked few barrels of biodiesel. Always good to be environmentally conscious when setting your platforms on fire.
