When you lay off employees and you lower headcount, you often claim it's for efficiencies and savings, right? Nokia stock is just... tightening up, getting more efficient! Streamlining! THAT'S the ticket!

Microsoft is very, very quickly becoming irrelevant. Even PC gaming is starting to suffer against gaming consoles and portable gaming from phones and tablets. These new Tegra 3 (four/five-core) processors are quickly becoming INCREDIBLY capable of high-end gaming--and they're PORTABLE! That's pretty much Microsoft's last saving grace for Windows on the desktop--gaming. Beyond that, there's very little anybody NEEDS Windows for anymore and even the component manufacturers are starting to court Apple and Android manufacturers for a piece of the future. Does anybody remember 2005 when Palm was desperate enough to try to keep themselves relevant that they even started making Treo smartphones with Windows? How does history record that working out for them? Zoxir might have a point AND history to back it up.
