A corporation violating ethical standards? To quote the movie Casablanca:
Rick: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Captain Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!
[a croupier hands Renault a pile of money]
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Captain Renault: [sotto voce] Oh, thank you very much.
[aloud]
Captain Renault: Everybody out at once!
They didn't have consistent revenue, their smartphone unit was increasing both marketshare and revenue at a greater rate than either apple or android. Until Elop decided to release his "Burning Platforms" memo and trashed the company.

But apple and google were not kicking their ass. The truth is that until Elop took over, Nokia's smartphone division not only had more marketshare, it was growing faster than either Apple or Android. Elop destroyed that

Nokia was far from tanking before Elop took over. True its networking and mapping units were not performing well, but its phone unit was increasing faster than any other company, including Apple. The change in profitability and market share for Nokia's smartphone unit was dramatic and recordsetting in its loss. Then, of course, Elop got a 25 million dollar bonus for selling off the now wrecked smartphone unit off to Microsoft.
I don't know why any company would want Elop near the reigns ever again.

To fair to Elop - though i'm not sure i care much about the whole argument - nokia's nosedive in the market looks pretty consistent with ericsson and rim. The only exception to that general trend was apple and samsung, probably because they were the fresh perspective. Boring old cellphones designs along the lines of nokia etc. just weren't wanted. Not that he did a great job, but he did as good a job as many of his competitors did. Not a ringing endorsement of his potential though.
However, when the person declines to hire a prostitute and the prostitute pressures him otherwise, such as "just give me 10 bucks so my pimp doesn't kill me, we don't have to do anything" then arresting him when he hands over 10 dollars would most likely be considered entrapment.
Slashdot Mirror
You live there too.
Someone write an app for google glass that will help handicapped people. Then it would be illegal to prohibit them!
Jack was an excellent employee. Eager to get to work and never afraid to get his hands dirty. He was also good at following procedures.
Why am I wasting my time here? What, do you expect me to work while I'm at my job?
Yeah, you know you've fucked up if government contractors can do it cheaper.
Only during their time off.
Huh, a completely blank post. Must be an error on the slashdot server.
Why would you complicate an easy answer with facts?
coincidentally, shit is all they serve there
Other than eating less and exercising, you mean.
Do you really want anyone who doesn't realize its a spoofed slashdot site to post comments anyway? Its like a public service.

Maybe, but I've heard he's a wiz in the hotel industry.
Yes, but at least his company wasn't completely trashed when he left it. That kind of puts him way higher than Elop in my estimation.

Really, why do robot need to learn to use knives at all for grocery checkout?

Funny, I've been calling the problem of dumb people in democracy the palin effect.
I guess we could call it this. Anytime Yahoo starts buying companies, you know the tech sector is fucked up.
I'm guessing the site had ponies.
