I've been doing a bit of thinking and a hell of a lot of reading of these Nokia/MS threads and this public display of mourning about Nokia is a bit.....weird.

Gerbick says "this fandom is laughable" and I absolutely agree.

The clincher for me was when someone in one of these threads said "ever since hearing the news, I have hardly been able to breathe" and another thread entitled "soul searching" with some dude almost tearfully reminiscing about all the years he has had a Nokia.

W.h.a.t t.h.e f.*.*.k?

I mean, come on people. Do get a grip.

If you had been diagnosed with a brain tumour or your mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I could understand such grieving. But it's a company that makes shitloads of money selling gadgets. That is all.
