The early comments on this Newspick have now been overtaken by the publication of this
article, but I'd just like to say that Tomi Ahonen has produced the most
comprehensive analysis of what Elop did that I have ever seen applied to any
subject (and an excellent history lesson on the battle for Suomussalmi during
the Winter War
too).
I was aware (in essence) of many of the things that Elop did
wrong; what I wasn't aware of was that when Elop wrote his famous 'Burning
Platform' memo that he was so totally wrong about the strength of Nokia, its
products, its reach, its eco system and just about everything else Nokia.
As Tomi says in the blog, Elop arrived with a totally US-centric view of Nokia;
because Nokia's sales were falling in the US, he thought they were
everywhere.
Reading this blog has taken around four hours out of my life
:-) Were they wasted hours? Definitely not! I strongly
recommend that people read this.

Just think; if Microsoft
added 'You hereby grant us a license to print money' to their EULA, it wouldn't
change its meaning a bit.

| Blackberry maker RIM loses patent suit over
software
Should have used a Linux core and the standard UNIX remote
administration software.
Anybody know what patents were being asserted? I
can't see how anything about remotely administering a mobile device like a phone
is any different than remotely administering a computer, especially when
automated tools are used to do it. By the mid '90s I was using a program suite
that was a part of a Debian package to keep all the systems I ran all synced up
software wise. Some of those computers were over a thousand miles away. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Paula Rooney's mention
of Red Hat "supporting Google's Open Compute project" is confusing. Facebook has an Open Compute Project in which they open sourced their data center
designs.
Perhaps the reference should instead be to Google's Compute Engine project, which appears to be
comparable to the established Amazon EC2
(Elastic Compute Cloud).
