And you call me picky. A slider is a slider. ;)

And yes N-gage flopped in every incarnation, but the writer should still get details straight.

i'm willing to bet that if admin checked the IP of maemomeego who made that bs thread yesterday it would be the same as tex14's.
the new forum term for idiots like him are orange boxers named after our resident troll of the past

The banana :) I liked that phone.

He would have said Cupertino...

I think he refers more or less at the general influence US companies have had in mindshare lately. Off course, mindshare != marketshare != cash (see Palm), but oh well, sometimes is too much to ask for decent journalism this times.

Thread title needs to be renamed as it's misleading and is also a troll magnet.

guys...both apple world headquarters is here in cupertino, and goodle headquarters is in mountain view.


there is your iphoney and andriod phones os's

they are bith silicon valley.

another company that had a lot of face here is danger (tmobiles sidekick) but they were bought by ms about 3 years ago and inhoused. (which is also in mt. view)

nokia did have some buildings in sunnyvale, which are now empty, and still have some offices in san francisco, but they are just some software geeks.


also, symbian is right here in rewdwood shores which is where oracle (amung other big companies) has thier head quarters.

should i also add that EA is also in redwood shores.

nothing would say that this is reference to apple when all 4 of the major OS developers have a major foothold here.

oh...and i missed palm....but that is an honorable mention.

Control, this is mike-charlie. Please be aware that we are encountering heavy troll activity in the area.

Roger that mike-charlie. Advising all friendlies to withdraw from the target zone. We have a delta-3 underway.

Control, roger that. It's going to be a charlie-foxtrot down there if they don't evacuate soon.

Mayday, mayday. We're going down. It looks like we're passing Off Topic and heading straight for General. I repeat: we have overshot Off Topic and a complete yard sale in General appears imminent.

poll: How better off would this forum be if Tex14 was gone? Again.
  • a little
  • alot
He says he has a real job in the states, so if that were true, that would make him at least 18. But most people that are in need of this much attention are usually still in diapers. So, I'm not sure. He seems more like 16. If he's not lying about the job thing, then I'm guessing he doesn't get enough attention there either.

If he does have a job, I hope it's one where he can't do too much harm, because making leaps like the one in the thread title shows a lack of some basic logic skills. If he does have a high station, my guess is that nepotism or cronyism was involved.

N-Gage has never been a hardware platform. The hardware in both N-Gage phones is identical to the hardware in the generic S60 phones sold at the same time. This may have been one of the reasons why the original N-Gage failed: there was no reason for anyone to buy it, over a normal S60 phone.
