This was on Finacial Times last week. Here's the actual non-Engadgetifield quote:

"Mr Vanjoki agreed with suggestions that handset makers using Android could have low operating margins and claimed they were likely to enjoy only temporary relief with Google’s operating system. He compared the companies to Finnish boys who “pee in their pants” for warmth during the cold winter."

MeeGo means Linux Foundation much, much more than it means Nokia.

I said it earlier... but I doubt that the future would be so filled with dead ends. Nokia has sorta killed my enthusiasm in anything Linux based and has forced me to research for how much of it is closed.

It's "a" future. Not "the" future. I'll take my future with more openness and a more determined path (think: Maemo).

Let's hope it's not cocked up due to some in-fighting or idiocy... or lack of direction.

in certain areas there are strong indications it will be, and it may surprise you to hear this but the Nokia side seems to be the good guys.

With all due respect to you Gerbick, I think most of us would have read 'Short-term' pretty much the same as 'Stop-gap' only with more dire consequences for the future outcome.

Hence the expression 'Short-termism' being a negative concept for business. Short term gains traded off against long term stability, etc.

He's made it far too easy for someone to come back with "PeeGo" :P

For that matter, isn't using Android on your phone allowing you to concentrate on the business of building your hardware or your telecom network? You know--like a restaurant franchise lets you concentrate on business and less so on brand, advertising and so on?

Indeed.
You won't survive, if you do it.

For some reason, I'm suddenly feeling the urge to go play On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.

But there's a Yeti somewhere in this blizzard.

And we need to fabricate yellow blades to fight it.
