dont8: “Are you still sitting down? Let me rush down in case it will suddenly take off again,” a middle-aged man was heard teasing one of his co-passengers.

This part got me rolling... The man no wan hear say dem say...

Leopantro: came across this write up that explains the feeling of dread I felt and contine to feel anytime I think of Microsoft and Nokia.

remember back
when Microsoft had the most
popular smartphone on the
market? No? It was as recently as
2007. Ever wonder what
happened with that?
Well, in 2008, Microsoft figured
they could remain king of the hill
by purchasing Danger (makers of
the Sidekick), with the aim of
building an awesome new
smartphone to compete with the
newly launched iPhone and
Google's unreleased Android
operating system. These were the
pioneer days of smartphones, and
being pioneer days, most of us
never quite made it to the
cellphone equivalent of Oregon.

But not to worry -- the team from
Danger was going to build
Microsoft a smartphone so good,
it'd make Steve Jobs turn his blue
jeans brown. Microsoft called
their uberphone the Kin.
The Kin came. It sold a total of
8,000 units, not even one for
every 10 Microsoft employees .
The company lost $62,500 per
phone sold .

You gotta spend money to make
money! And also to lose millions,
apparently.
So what went wrong? Well, for
starters, Microsoft took all the
brilliant and innovative minds
they'd bought from Danger and
said, " Knock all that creative shit
off." Half the Danger team wound
up working on the Kin, and the
other half got shuffled into
developing Windows Phone 7.
You see, giant corporations are
the same as the character in every
laugh track sitcom who winds up
dating two women at once:
They'd rathermess up two things
than focus on one and do it right.
Microsoft had people who knew
where the future of smartphones
lay. But they also had Steve "If
It's Worked Once, It'll Work
Forever" Ballmer, a man who
throws chairs when he gets angry.
It was the same with tablets. Way
back before the iPad launched,
photos of a Microsoft project
called Courier leaked out to the
tech press. It appeared to be a
sort of dual-screen digital
notebook, and every blogger in
the gadget world ejaculated in
unison. But if you're wondering
why there are no Courier tablets
today, it's because Steve " Chair
Chucker" Ballmer didn't want any
hit products that weren't run off
the Windows operating system.

Tiles, the people
want TILES ."

So, sure enough, the Courier was
shelved in favor of Microsoft's
Surface tablets, which were so
innovative that nearly a billion
dollars' worth of them sit unsold
in warehouses right now .

I cringe anytime i remember that Nokia sold off to Microsoft and the were too stubborn to try android, playing around with Symbian when most people like me gave up on them. It's just sad that investors and the money makers refuse to allow creativity to thrive. O well i continue to observe.

4llerbuntu: Gentlemen good evening.

If I were to adopt Mtn as my ISP now What options do I have to get value for money?
Whether legit or otherwise I don't care really So far I can pick my phone and tablet and surf 80 percent of the time.

Or even Etisalat. I don't mind porting sef.

I have had enough of airtel. What shall it profit a man to get 2unuseable gb of data.? It's been extremely terrible and there is no hope in sight.

Etisalat my man then MTN.

ciphoenix: try an 18MB app in 65 minutes (12:01 to 1:06)

This is exactly why i decided to use etisalat and suffer financially rather than be subjected to this nightmare. MTN Edge is faster than HSDPA both when i was using my S2 and my i-Device. It's so frustrating so i stick with etisalat legal and pay d exorbitant fees.

THough thank God for wi-fi at work

If you are in PH, i can refer you to someone who will program it for u seamlessly.

today episode was nice. What do u think?

the N11,650 pain me die but truthfully i use DSTV because of all the documentary channels and sports channels hence y i do premium. The simple truth is dat regulatory bodies are not doing their jobs, all the free to air and other cable services mentioned have issues varying from the picture quality to being affected strongly by weather. DSTV of recent behaves better with weather issues unlike all the rest mentioned. They are dependent on terrain and LOS and many other factors.

Make we accept the simple truth, YOU WANT QUALITY YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. As for the dongle thing i know about it and how it can mess you up when you need it and is also dependent on the network service provider data service being ok in your locale and when it can decide to pack up on you and u need to upgrade the firmware. So right now we are in a stalemate ladies and gent until NBC remember their duties.

My opinion though and for the ESPN loss espn pulled out operations in Europe and Africa so hence y no ESPN.

Fadelex: I was so annoyed when I saw d sms this morning, can u imagine, in the last 3months, they've removed eurosport news, espn, espn classic and recently i concert... this people cannot continue to milk us like dis... what is NBC doin about dis? I heard of one ABG cable, that its for 19k and 3k subscription per month and that they show virtually all matches available on dstv.... I'll rather add 8k to dat 12k and get d cable... if our government won't do anything about it I beg my fellow Nigerians to just abandon dstv and get alternative... just like mtn, they have no interest of Nigerians @ heart

ESPN pulled out of EMEA operations. Not DSTV's fault.

oh btw Madara just confirmed that Tsunade packs a wallop more than the Raikage though she's slower compared to him... #justSaying

Tosyn really? Quoting the whole interview?

#InOtherNews Madara has shown his bully nature again in the anime... Gives the Kages 5 of his clones to each of them and asks if they want it with Susanoo or not? I hate and like this guy...

Kaycee7: It says " Agents of Shield " not " The Avengers ". Shield agents don't usually possess super powers. And what the hell do you mean by wacky actors and actresses?

Help me ask the bros ooo

So i was hovering round the world (internet ooo), and i came across the first episode of the eagerly anticipated TV series titled Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D which picks off from where The Avengers left off.

" The early numbers say that Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. might have had the biggest television debut in over a year. The first episode did a great job of setting things up, and I can't wait to see where the show takes us. It's got a perfect mix of action, humor, espionage, superpowers, gadgets, and drama.

The video gives us a great look forward into future episodes with lots of cool footage we've never seen before. I can't help but be even more excited for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. after watching it." Culled from Geektyrant

I must say i was highly impressed with the first episode. Wish it could stretch a while longer than the 45 minutes run time. Looking forward to see how the series pan out.

Seen 2 episodes and they are quite interesting to say the least

claremont: As at 9:18pm UK time, the BBM app for android is yet to be released on Google play store. The Blackberry website is yet to confirm the release of its BBM for android. Whatever sheeit you guys downloaded to your android phones prior to now is definitely not the official BBM for android, it must be a virus infected software.

I copied this from the Blackberry UK site.

It's not... Though a bit laggy it's the real thing cuz it verified my BBID sumfin datz next to difficult to pull of with Blackberry's trademark encryption.

kingviny: It's time to get yours.
