A nice little tidbit for you Maemo freaks

At Nokia World in Barcelona -- the same place where the almighty N97 (pictured) was unveiled -- Ukko Lappalainen, vice president at Nokia's markets unit, informed Reuters that "in the longer perspective, Linux will become a serious alternative for our high-end phones." Potentially more interesting was his followup line: "I don't see anything in Android which would make it better than Linux maemo."

And I'm flattered by the chat about my username If I told you how the name came about I'd have to kill you.

a. $1 - $10 "Please"
b. $11 - $30 "Pretty please"
c. $31 - $90 "Pretty please with sugar on top"
d. >$90 "Change it, motherf*cker!"
e. nothing "What's all the fuss?"
f. donate to flamingsnot "Your handle is my bag, baby"

I'll start: d
How about

G. STOP SPAMMING, motherf*cker And pm me if you want my Paypal details, I'll be taken payments for a change of username starting from now.

It's one word, no capitals, and I fail to see any relationship between my username and my opinion on the aesthetics of an electronic device, let alone any irony
