And Dan doesn't always keep it "low level serious + high level joke".
I wouldn't characterize most of his posts like that at all.
He does sometimes make some light-hearted/witty posts.
Albeit usually with a heavy dose of cynicism...
Understandable given his experience with the platform, & level of built-up frustration.
Please try to temember we are all in this together and if truth come to truth we would all help eachother if the need ever arises.

In June, Elop offered an audience a glimpse of what looked like a Nokia N9 smartphone running Windows Phone. The N9, which currently runs a MeeGo operating system slated for mothballing by Nokia, married a curved 3.9-inch AMOLED (active-matrix organic LED) screen to a body engineered from a single piece of polycarbonate. The first Nokia devices running Windows Phone are slated to make their debut at the end of 2011.Source: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-...r-Hope-719397/
News that Nokia will abandon its homegrown Symbian operating system, however, has led to a significant dip in Symbian handset sales, as customers flee the platform in favor of one that offers continuing support. That’s led to analyst pessimism about Nokia’s prospects over the next several quarters.
Although it's easy to understand why the conspiracy theories have built-up so massively.Some of the stuff that's been done/planned, & the way it's been handled, can't be due to sheer stupidity alone.
Surely...

LOL wot?
I am not a software engineer and that field i leave to the pro's but this community seems to be left with all the folk who also seem really fed up sometimes hence the reason i am hardly ever serious.
WOT

I would say that 99% of people on this foum feel cynical in one way or another because of what Nokia have done to us all, in one way or another.
What matters most is we all keep it low level but so easy to let loose considering the built up frustration in general.

I just couldn't keep up with the interesting arguments/points you were making,
So I conceded defeat & said: "carry on".

Here's some more old news for review, then, just to keep in mind regarding why people are jumping ship for support reasons:
Stephen Elop says Nokia will leave MeeGo even if N9 turns out to be a hit
So much for conspiracy. Makes buying an N9 for the purpose of "proving Elop wrong" pretty fruitless, doesn't it? Even worse, people expecting some sort of support after all these actions. Elop is either lying to them about support, or he's clinically stupid. Possibly both.

Seared on the outside and heavy on the cynicism, just as you ordered. In all seriousness, though, you're absolutely right on my view and the reasoning.
