Somebody set up us the Balmer! Make your time! Here's the other problem with what Nokia has done by firing or losing all these people: All the talented mind-share and dedicated employees who had participated in their own capacity, to get the company on top for all those years, had to get jobs elsewhere. They've lost all that mind-share to competitors. They've done the business equivalent of painting themselves into a corner and now being stuck there. Brilliant Mr. Elop has instead decided to hobble the company by making it dependent on another corporation--his former employer. How does ANY of that sound good? At least Tim Cook had the decency to admit Apple's mistakes with the mapping application and came out to apologize for it and is moving to quickly fix the problem. Elop is the captain that would head straight for an iceberg and ignore anybody that argues with his decision to go full steam ahead.
