Eflop: Blah blah 'align our workforce'. Nice euphemism.

Geoff Blaber, analyst at CCS Insight, said: "The scaling back of its manufacturing presence was sadly inevitable but it's clear that Elop is not afraid of taking the tough decisions to ensure Nokia's long-term survival."

Must be very tough to put lots of working class folk on the dole whilst lining your own pockets.

W@nkers.

Yeah - I wish they'd just say "we're axing these jobs because we have managed ourselves into a corner", but what price honesty?

An analyst called Blaber - it's a bit like a butcher called Cleaver or a lawyer called Sue

Nice one, however the "analyst" does have a point. Asians earnings are much lower than europeans and Nokia have to compete against Asian companies like Samsung and HTC. Apple also have a lot out-sources, so I think it was inevitable not to sack some peolpe...

Lindegaard: 3.5 network or H/H+ network on your N9?

I think it's about time we had some more Asian CEOs. I'm sure they'd be happy to work for much less than the likes of Ballmer and Elop. The problem is that the top 5% like to turn economics on its head when it comes to themselves.

As someone who just got laid off and worked his last day yesterday
I really want to know;

What is this insane obsession of making supervisors and CEO's little fat men with big voices???!!!

OMG he's a little fat man with a BIIIIIIGGGG VOOOOIIIICCCEE = $$$$$$$$$$$

I am so f'n sick of little fat men with big voices!

WTF is wrong with us we keep making these little waddling - over ambitious/no conscious/lie to everyone and smile/pieces of crap/little fat men with PA voices our Craptastic Executive Orifices?

Really i want to know!

These little type 2 diabetes men that don't even take care of themselves and their wives leave them are not even worth their sky high salaries.
Take a few million off of their salary and give it to the hourly slave wages in China that you rely on TO MAKE YOUR SH*T so we don't suffer and lose our jobs in the U.S.

Little fat man with a big voice! OMG as soon as I see and hear a sound wave come out of your little fat arse mouth I know everything you say is vomit.

Ok I'm done

Even if it is "OMGods stupid arse foreign retailer is selling N9 for 500 with no shipping fee"
You still need to take the few moments to write a description.
I do not click on undescribed links.

Maybe, I'll think about it

Nice quotation. I had to search a bit in order to understand where it came from, so here's the link (don't think this review was mentioned here yet):
