Nokia and Windows Phone: the demise

Nokia:

• Nokia, a Top-100 Brand No More
• Nokia removes Skype from Marketplace on Lumia 610, blames poor user experience
• Nokia's Financial Woes Continue

Windows Phone:

• RunKeeper dumps Windows Phone
• Windows Phone reaches for the bottom
• Microsoft's smartphone market share tumbles 27%. Will Windows Phone ever gain traction?

This demise was pretty obvious, even more than one year ago. The sudden drop on stock price, on the same day Elop announced the partnership between Nokia and Microsoft, was more than a subtle sign. The gains prior to that day also shows something else: investors were hoping that Nokia would go Android. They gambled on that, and lost. The next day everyone was aware of Nokia's future demise. The final days of Nokia are here.
Nokia's mistake: Elop.
Elop's mistake: Microsoft.
Microsoft's mistake: Ballmer.

Obrigado pelo Acordo Ortográfico (AO90)

Durante algum tempo deixei de ler a trapalhada do FACEBOOK.

Hoje tenho estado divertido a fazer UNLIKE de tudo o que me esteja a aparecer segundo o AO90 (Acordo Ortográfico).

Ora, devo dizer que o FACEBOOK está a ficar mais apelativo a cada UNLIKE que faço...
Muito bom. Muito bom, mesmo.
Até já começo a vislumbrar posts interessantes que estavam perdidos no meio do lixo anterior.

Agradeço aos inventores do AO90 esta forma de simplificação da minha vida. Assim ficou bem mais fácil separar os conteúdos de lixo, dos conteúdos escritos por quem realmente tem um cérebro. Obrigado.

LINUX: 20 YEARS

Subject:    What would you like to see most in minix?

Hello everybody out there using minix -

I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones.  This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready.  I'd like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system (due to practical reasons)
among other things).

I've currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40), and things seem to work.
This implies that I'll get something practical within a few months, and
I'd like to know what features most people would want.  Any suggestions
are welcome, but I won't promise I'll implement them :-)

PS.  Yes - it's free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that's all I have :-(.
