It's all a matter of perspective. While I like Tomi and generally agree with some of his points and I certainly dislike Elop and would agree that he is a terrible CEO, those graphs are just plain wrong.
It all boils down to what you call a smartphone and it has been discussed over and over. If you count any phone that can do email and web and whatnot a smartphone then yes in 2010 Nokia did ship more smartphones than Samsung and Apple, but everyone and I really mean everyone knew that Nokias offerings weren't in the same league as the ones with iOS/Android. The consumers didn't perceive them as being in the same class and that's what matters.
A lot of what was said here is incorrect. EVE usually allows for very nice fleet battles with small amounts of lag. However about a month ago a new expansion was introduced that includes a nasty bug which makes it extremely hard for people to load the grid that already contains many other players.
There were several battles in the past month where one side was completely annihilated because of that bug. Everyone involved in that conflict was already aware of that.
IT alliance had a strong presence in system for the whole day, preparing for possible battle. Their enemies decided to show up when it was almost over while boasting about crashing the node.
Sov was neutral and both parties had the same starting position. IT was bringing in forces during the whole day, the other side did nothing about it and gambled it all on one moment and lost.
