Microsoft To License Nokia Brand To Foxconn, Says Report (techtimes.com)
SmartAboutThings quotes a report from Windows Report: It's no secret that Microsoft's phone business isn't going according to plan. Last quarter alone saw a 46% drop in phone revenue, slightly better than the 49% drop the quarter before that. And now it seems that Microsoft is finally realizing this: according to rumors, the tech giant is considering licensing 50% of its mobile business to Foxconn -- in other words, the Nokia brand it had purchased for 10 years, until 2024. It appears that negotiations have reached very advanced stages, with Microsoft and Foxconn currently deliberating the final clauses of the deal. Some of the implications of such a deal could mean about 50 percent of the Microsoft Mobile members would be looking for new jobs. The rest of the team is said to join the Microsoft Surface team, and may be tasked with working on an upcoming Surface Phone which has been rumored for some time now.
Yes, if that is the case then it should be addressed. But like your parent poster said, the aversities did not stop him. Why do you have reason to believe that the aversities minorities face are so much worse for them that the same concept cannot apply to them?
Also what are you going to do about other minority members? A common theme in rap songs is how the homies peer pressured them into being gansta rather than scholars. When your peers actually and actively try to herd you away from legal careers, how does it become white people's fault when these people don't go into legal upper middle class careers?
Now I wouldn't know how prevalent the problem truly is but I do get the impression minorities do a pretty good job of keeping the status quo alive themselves. How are you going to change that doozie of a roadblock?
