Re: Marc Dillon left Jolla
 

Well, i don't know, but now it is one more sold :D
Last week i saw the "out of stock" label humping back and forth on the jolla phone and now i need to get one of the last(?) to secure my next 2 years of sailfish usage with tohkbd.
I went for Stella as i already have 2 white tohs ;) maybe my daughter is growing into smartphone usage and will appreciate stella toh next year.

Marc leaving is not a bad sign in itself, but his lockdown on communication is what causes the fodder for rumors. He did not answer to the TechCrunch guy? srsly?
What kind of NDA could refrain someone from a nice well deserved good bye from and to the community, collecting some hugs and seize the moment for some promotion?
Sad.

EDIT, maybe he is just tired following this statement by Antti Saarnio an hour ago on Facebook Jolla Pioneers group:

What did the deleted tweets say?

Re: Marc Dillon left Jolla
 

Jobs "left" Apple because of a boardroom coup. He was pushed out, "fired" in his own description of events after spending millions on the Macintosh when Apple made its money out of the Apple II.

I'm sure that's not the case with Dillon.

I'm not equating the two but Jolla does need someone with vision, some showmanship and a recognisable figurehead. They also need a Woz of course.

It seems very odd to me there is no official statement by the company. They're not publicly traded so they don't have to but FFS a very public founder and their COO has left.

Bill Gates left Microsoft. They're still standing.

We might never know the case with Dillon, but we cannot discount the other members of the Jolla team.

Re: Marc Dillon left Jolla
 

But Microsoft is not what it used to be...

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

"Will delete later."

;)

Re: Marc Dillon left Jolla
 

Yeah, its actually better now, when the clown left too. :)

Re: Jolla tablet countup to delivery[Now With Poll]
 

Now that's a new development!
I'd assume it'd been "will delete *soon*"

Re: Marc Dillon left Jolla
 

Didn't anyone here ever think of the possibility that the reason for Marc leaving might be something more personal than the financial state of Jolla, his trust in the future direction of the company or sinister fights for power at the top? He might as well be ill, there could as well be issues with loved ones he needs to take care of, whatever. Not everything he does needs to be related to business.

I tried to connect the dots and found that this isn't unlikely. There's other possibilities, too, but as long as I cannot be sure it's nothing personal, I'd rather not comment too much upon it. I could be sorry for every word I said.

There have been comments especially over at TJC that were really mean and cynical.

Really?

Microsoft under Gates gave us Windows 95 and Windows XP.
Microsoft without Gates gave us Windows 8 and Windows 10.

Sure, Microsoft is now more "mature" and "business focused", whatever that means. Sure, that may be a good thing if you are on BOD or at least a shareholder. But for us regular customers, Microsoft is now MUCH WORSE than it has ever been.

Odd if you compare Jolla with any other company but not at all surprising. It is very much in line with the past Jolla's track record regarding public communication about anything.
