Just saw this at CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/mobile/...ex.html?hpt=C2
He also takes a jab at Nokia:
... lying executives tend to overuse words like "we" and "our team" when they talk about their company. They avoid saying "I."
...Lying CEOs also tend to use a lot of words that express positive emotion — things are fabulous and fantastic and extraordinary...
..."If all my speech is 'fantastic,' 'superb,' 'outstanding,' 'excellent' and all my speech sounds like a big hype — it probably is,"

So they decided to release modem/camera/other device firmware code too? No binary blobs at all in MeeGo?

A slight tangent, but the recent John Sculley On Steve Jobs, The Full Interview Transcript is a very good read.

The binary blobs for the N900 are not part of MeeGo. MeeGo has no binary blobs whatsoever.

It is not a matter of fragmentation, it is a matter of what the fragmentation does. Apple as one device, Nokia has 100? Android also "has" 100 devices. Fragmentation on iOS is not possible.
If you try to defragment Android, you will end up with lots of equal looking devices. Good for Google, but bad for everyone else. Nokia on the other hand, can do whatever they want with Symbian and MeeGo, it will still be Nokia, and look Nokia. MeeGo will be fragmented to pieces, but still share a common ground, the kernel.

Interestingly NPR reported today a paper or findings published by David Larcker, a professor of accounting at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and Ph.D. student Anastasia Zakolyukina when they set out to find the answer to the question: "How Can You Tell When A CEO Is Lying?"
