BTW, for those who did not know it, Maemo was a little project started "last year by Intel and Nokia", but it "never actually came to fruition". I certainly did not know this.
Honestly most, if not all of what he writes is rather accurate.

And also, your "BTW" is flawed.
It does not say that Maemo was a little project started "last year by Intel and Nokia".

The quote reads: "Last year the two firms teamed up for something called Maemo, which never actually came to fruition,".
I would assume that these two companies DID actually meet last year to see if Maemo could be the - or part of a stand-alone solution - ..it was, most likely identified that it wasn't and the MeeGo alternative was born.

Including your own little quotes "..." is a rather poor practice don't you think?

And that Maemo never came to fruition is especially true today.
