He refuses to think differently.

And I'm going to say this much. Jobs changed how Nokia and a lot of other folks do business. Out with the old, in with the new - he did it his way. One man, 35 years of innovation on his own path basically.

Nokia? They couldn't adapt, their decisions around Maemo created the current situation around MeeGo and now they decided to bring in a man that's been at one company right before they were absorbed by an even bigger company - Macromedia got bought out by Adobe.

Stifling open source, not finding a clearer path, ****ing up the lead they had with the 770 and losing as much share as they have since 2007. If you were a shareholder, I'd call the Nokia board of directors evil, if not just stupid.
Everytime I think of Nokia's executives, I picture this scene:

Substitute "Indians" with "geeks" and the paddles with N9's. :P The Casino deal is the deal with Microsoft and you can probably guess who the Mayor would be at Nokia.
