The good news is soon they will be able to make better children. The right skin and eye color, smart, well behaved, healthy. And, these GM children will then vote for allowing GM food in every country in the world.
I bought a Nokia N9 on the grey market to add to my collection of Maemo phones. I have an N770, N800, N900, and now an N9. What really surprised me is that the N9 is beautiful, the OS is great, and the screens are beautiful. People would have loved the N9 if they were able to buy it. Elop certainly made sure it was not only dead, but he had Nokia use up the N9 parts (except the processor) building that Lumina 800 thing.
If I had my way at Nokia. They would still do what they do best making beautiful hardware, and allow people to choose from Symbian, Maemo, and Android. No one really wants WP7, and it just isn't very good.
My guess is that Microsoft got to Nokia's board and installed Elop to have Nokia sign away rights to do anything other than pay Microsoft as part one. Part two is to destroy Nokia so that Microsoft can buy their stock for penny's and get control of Nokia's massive patent portfolio. Once that's done, Microsoft will become the world's largest patent troll and simple make Google and Apple pay to sell cell phones. After all, this would be the normal Microsoft modus operandi of extortion rather than development. Microsoft loves being sneaky. I am sure the bosses at Microsoft know that WP7 is junk, and could never compete on it's merits. To me, WP7 is just a sham to cover Microsoft's true objectives of fraud and extortion without being sued outright.
The Lumina 800 is made of parts recycled from the N9 (which is a "super phone"). Except for the processor (ARM - N9 Snapdragon - Lumina ) it uses the same case, glass, and most of the internals. I don't know if the front facing camera that the N9 has is just missing, or if WP7 just can't handle two cameras.
Nokia would have been better off sticking with Maemo (the N9 is not really MeeGo). It is truly beautiful.
On a side note, does anyone know if Microsoft got copy and paste working on WP7? Or have they fixed the WiFi so it can connect other than DHCP?
I bought an N9 for my phone collection. It's smoothness and functionality is much more than I expected. It could have been the next iPhone.
I think patent trolling is Microsoft's long term strategy in the mobile market. No one want Windows Phone 7. Or 8, or 9 or that matter. They aren't stupid in Redmond, just evil. I think planting Elop in Nokia is part one in the plan to first destroy Nokia's stock price, then either have Elop just sign over Nokia's patents, or buy Nokia cheap. Nokia has a truly giant war chest of mobile patents. Microsoft, once in control of those can just sit back and make everyone, Apple included pay them more that those companies make themselves. This would fit with Microsoft's general policy of intimidation and sneakiness, and makes sense given how horrid Window Phone Anything is. I know WP7 can't connect to the internet other than DHCP. I wonder if they even fixed the inability to copy and paste. In any case, M$ is not putting any money into that doomed ship. Extortion is much more of their style.
Both my N900 and N9 can already do what this patent claims. Good thing Nokia was taken over by the Evil Empire who killed the N9 in it's cradle so it won't be infringing on Apple's patent.
The shuttle was a step backward from the Saturn V. One tenth the load capacity! The main reason we built it was to entice the Russians into building the Buran and strain their economy.

Just like "sexting" replaced Polaroid.
I have an N900, N800, and N770 in addition to my N9.
The N9 is beautiful. I'm sure my long winded detractor has never actually seen one.
Actually I can do an apt-get whateverthefuckiwantincludingmoo on my Nokia N9.
Thank you.
What if you Googled "Santorum"?

Hail Monsanto!
I have never gotten any pussy off that website, so I classify it is totally useless.
Mitt the anti Christ or Mr Frothy Santorum? This is a choice?
This is different from post SOPA USA how?

So, there.
Coding is for the young. It's way to stressful. Design is better done by us "superannuated" types.
Age can not be un-done.
The Sonny Bono copyright extension act, and the DMCA are brought to you be the same greedy evil fucks that are now serving up SOPA / Protect IP.
Looks like the same Capitalism that ended Communism in the 90's will end Democracy in 2012!
It's for your protection.
Think of the children.
Ugh!
No, the Nokia N9 is Maemo Harmatten. Maemo with QT screen objects. It's beautiful.
Maemo is Debian based, Meego is RPM.
apt-get moo proves it.

Really.
I'm sure the somewhere in the depths of SOPA, the "library problem" is being handled.
Why the USA is against the Taliban is beyond me. They are in favor of ACTA and SOPA by their actions here. We're all in this together.

Why are all the good movies disappearing from Netflix streaming service. I know they are losing Starz, but these are disappearing now.
My guess is Netflix is headed for that dot.com graveyard.
I fixed that issue. I just bought a Nokia N9.
Sounds about right.
