#nokia indeed bought #bell-labs, omg, so cool. i hope they’ll come up with something interesting.
Did you notice, that brand name written on the back of Nokia (at least n900) and Jolla isn’t loud, flashy, blatant? On Samsung devices it’s silver, it shines, and no way someone won’t notice which device you’re holding. In case of n900 and Jolla, brand name is slightly carved, and doesn’t make much noise, does not show off. Which I personally like a lot.

The Full Story of #Nokia and #Microsoft - How we got here, and why Microsoft will fail with Nokia handsets just like it did with Kin http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2013/09/the-full-story-of-nokia-and-microsoft-how-we-got-here-and-why-microsoft-will-fail-with-nokia-handset.html
Ok the news is out. I told you literally two years ago, that the Windows Phone strategy would be the death of Nokia’s handset business, and today we have the final nail in that coffin. I honestly, truly with my hand on my heart, hoped this day would never come, and that my prediction would be seen as wrong. But unfortunately I was correct (once again). I do tend to know this industry. And I was the first to tell you, on this blog, that Nokia’s handset business just died. I told you when it happend, and more importantly, I told you why it died. It didn’t die with the crazy Burning Platforms memo, nor with the announcement of Microsoft Windows Phone either. So this is my (first) full epitaph to Nokia. And we have to have a bit of history. (Long blog warning - this runs 12,000 words, so get yourself a cup of coffee, this will take about half an hour

Any sane CEO would look at the disasterous Windows Phone failure in the market - come on, before this alliance, Windows has 5% market share in smartphones, now ‘with Nokia’ it has 3%. This after Nokia has sacrificed 31% of its smartphone market share on Symbian and Maemo/MeeGo

Gorgeous #Georgian for #Nokia #Pure http://nokiapureblog.daltonmaag.com/2012/05/gorgeous-georgian-for-nokia-pure.html The Georgian #alphabet differs considerably from the #Latin alphabet. Latin #typefaces have an x-height, which is, as the name suggests, the area in a typeface that is the height of a lowercase x. This is the area in which most of the visual information is concentrated, and that makes the #letters readable. In #Nokia-Pure we have purposefully enlarged the x-height to aid readability. In Georgian there is no equivalent of an x-height; it is the middle portion of the letter that has most of the visual information. We had to create entirely different #proportions to deal with this #script, but maintain the look and feel of the Latin #font.

#nokia #pure : Answering the Challenge of #Armenian http://nokiapureblog.daltonmaag.com/2012/06/answering-challenge-of-armenian.html
The nature of the script brings interesting challenges for designers. A strong feature of the script is the frequent repetition in the uppercase and lowercase of shapes like the u, o, n, and m. These shapes create quite a rigid texture, so spacing and the right proportions are crucial for the design of the Armenian.

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1296041&postcount=15 more and more I feel that it is useless to think about such solutions. We try to bypass #aegis limitations, but why do we have them? Why don’t we choose #gta-04 board instead of #Nokia #N9? Because we need glamorous proprietary #swipe, and then we need to find a way to bypass #freedom limitations? It’s like spending our efforts on bypassing limitations instead of improving free systems. #harmattan #maemo #meego #free-software
Депутат Костунов сказал: «самый тупой депутат умнее среднестатистического гражданина». На Костунова накинулись, всё ему припомнили: и что единоросс, и что «нашист», комиссар Селигера. Он с перепугу извинился…
А за что извиняться? Депутатский ум и должен быть выше нашего среднего. Мы (граждане) разбавлены грудными младенцами, сумасшедшими, алкашами, наркоманами. А среди депутатов нет грудных; это точно.
Вот если бы Костунов сказал про честность: мол, самый жуликоватый депутат честнее, чем среднестатистический гражданин… Но он этого не сказал, не додумался. http://www.mk.ru/daily/newspaper/article/2012/11/14/774352-im-luchshe-molchat-chem-govorit.html http://echo.msk.ru/pda/blog/minkin/951347-echo/ #медведев #путин #костунов #президент #выборы #оговорки #nokia #apple #iphone #сколково #россия #финляндия #russia #finland #putin #medvedev #obama

I personally have no problem with the whole #Apple #patents brouhaha. Steve #Jobs did a miraculous job on "dumbing-down" the smart #phone, to the point where it now has no buttons at all, and the only thing the user can do is finger-paint on it. The #touchscreen may seem like a cool approach to a user interface, but it also subtly locks the user into being merely a #consumer of information, never a #producer. The rest of the #cell phone #industry has blindly rushed down the rabbit hole right behind Apple. The jury really was right -- the whole world now is filled with iPhones and #iPhone wannabes. These corporations needed a good smack in the side of the head to remind them that Apple's way is not the only possible way to design products. Stuff like pinch-to-zoom is popular because Apple made it popular, not because it is necessarily the best way to do things. Right now, I don't see _anyone_ trying to actually compete with Apple. The default response seems to be what #Nokia did -- just give up, dump your entire internal R&D department, and license the latest #iOS clone from #Microsoft or #Google. Maybe if Apple wins enough patent cases, somebody will get the hint and go back to designing a device that isn't an iPhone
