    Are these the same two guys from that "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercial Apple's been running for a couple years?

    In reply to Nokia to Halve Smartphone Production in 2010, Official Suicide Watch Starts Now
    Nokia has a vice grip on the emerging markets in Africa and Asia. They sell millions of phones in these markets on a WEEKLY basis. They have pretty much perfected the art of making entry level phones for next to nothing and selling them at a decent enough margin that doesn't break the bank for the target consumers in these areas.

    People there swear by Nokias (And Sony Ericssons, to a certain extent) and wouldn't buy handsets from another brand, come what may.

    Concentrating on this segment is EXACTLY what Nokia should be doing right now. This is what makes their bottom-line. The high visibility, low volume, expensive handset market may be making front page news, but for a worldwide giant like Nokia, their largest and most faithful customerbase exists in the other end of the spectrum.

    Judging them by the yardsticks of the smartphone savvy, first world economies is hardly accurate.

    In reply to Is the 'Bandwidth Hog' a Myth?
    @mmmiles: How is there traffic abuse though? I think that's the point of this article. You can't use any more speed than what you pay for (of which one can hardly ever achieve anyway on a regular basis), and most, if not all services have a cap on the total amount in a month. Otherwise, people regularly get notices to upgrade their service or get charged more for overage so the whole concept of a hog is misleading.

    There are power users though, and they are becoming more common that the email-only light users aren't offsetting those others as much as they did before.

    The simple truth is that this trend is scaring service providers, and instead of expanding to suit the growing needs of their users, they are merely delaying the inevitable by blaming them to prevent the cost necessary to do so.

    Maybe it's just me or maybe people are now sitting 2 to a seat but there's 6 lanterns on 3 seats. Yeah, the BP got it wrong.

    They put it in economy class? Those cheap asses!

    How come they never let me bring fire on airplanes?

    I get that more lanterns means lower chances that all the flames will go out, but doesn't this technically make it Olympic flames, rather than an Olympic flame? And are they seated on desktop printers?

    So many questions...

    @Hello Mister Walrus: Remember what happened to your middle school? I do, and so do Benjamin's parents. That's why they don't let you bring fire on airplanes.

    And they look like they're seated on handicap or children's toilets to me.
