A confirmation from Jolla would atleast give some weight to the story.

C'mon Dave, do not nail me on this...
I should have shut my mouth.
I read everything reported here closely and am not stupid

Sure it is not the perfectly competent sailfish release "we all waited for".
But what do you want, another marc entering the stage and promis the stars?
We have a Jolla that is on its knees and a turing that nobody really heard of but a possible decendence from another failed crowdfunding.
You expect a perfect release?
Well i don't, but again, i do not recommend this view because it is rooted in my forementioned low treshhold to spend money on entertainment i personally get from following small companies and projects development.

I think it a perfect sailfish device. Much cooler than the jPhone. It's a bit like a mix between a batman phone and a Ubuntu edge.

But stuff must add up. And it might do in the future...

But if now word before or during MWC...it's really scamish

I think Tesla wasn't tortured by society...
I would guess the moral and ethical ambiguity just isn't there for Elon's car.
But I think buying into the acceptance that willfully and knowingly ...historically degrading and / or destroying a thing, a species, a person or people...and then naming a product afterward...
That is low.
It is insult piled on top of injury.
It denigrates the value of the thing, person, or people ...
and in the end makes it ever easier to consider something of lesser or no value and do it again and again...
Nor does it elevate humanity in the doing either.
The reverse in fact.
Objectifying a thing , species, person or people make it easier not to relate ...and that much easier to destroy...

Gee! You mean I'm doing that when I root for the Redskins? I just want them to score touchdowns and win games! But I know where you're coming from. Years ago, I remember the Redskins playing the Cowboys and their mascots would pretend to try to scalp each other. At least that was what I thought they were doing. It was pretty bad. In contrast, when growing up I remember my favorite pro wrestler was called Chief White Owl. Always thought he was cool.

Ach...
I hear you mscion..
there are alot of institutions which I used to love growing up...
seemed innocuous..harmless...hell..it was established tradition even...
but ...sadly age ...now I am more well-read, well-informed, and a more widened view of the world...
It isn't that I think that political correctness needs a police force...
I don't believe in going that far to the extreme...the other way...
but at least for myself gotta draw a line in the sand somewhere...
gotta have some principles ...
treating people like I would like to be treated is one of those lines in the sand for me...

At least this part:

Additionally, I have come into possession of a Facebook post shared with what I assume are prospective corporate customers, in which Turing's CEO claims the company has bought a manufacturing facility ("ex-Microsoft ex-Nokia") in Finland to produce its devices.

I'm not aware of any such facility been bought or sold here. Nokia's manufacturing facilities were shut down years ago and with it went big part of contractors supplying that factory. I'm not aware of any other facility here that would be ready to build such devices in mass.

Naw, he was all about eugenics and I can't support that.

At the end of the day, almost all of our heroes, intended or not, has a piece of them that's extremely flawed. Me? I like the characters that have embraced their evil.

Darth Vader
Dr. Doom
Boris and Natasha
Bluto
Thanos
The Undertaker
Thomas Edison

Hehe...
I gotta admit ...
I have no prob with the good or the bad guys...
at least do it with style...with panache..
eugenics has been a hot issue for a long time...
wasn't Chaplin big on Eugenics...and HG Wells as well?
Both I like...don't care for their view though...

It very well could end up being the result of our species...
Engineering people...
It may end up being a necessity with our planet's changing nature...
and it's inevitable inability to absorb the toxin amount we are continually heaping on it...
Don't like the idea personally ..

Oh boy. Didn't realize that! Guess I'll have to get a Chevy Volt instead. Then again, gas is pretty cheap. Maybe I'll get a monster truck.
Sorry, still don't like bad guys... Except when bad is good.
