Stephen Elop just changed his last name to Stephen Flop. This guy is clearly not a right guy to run a tech company like Nokia. He made a lot of stupid commends, he said multi-core processors are wasteful, now his Nokia Lumia 900 cannot upgrade to Windows 8 because of this and this phone will be doom starting from now. He also said that big screen phone (higher then 3.5″) also not needed but then making a Lumia 900 with a big screen. Well, at least he is smart about 44MP camera in a phone is wasteful that’s why he did say anything about it before going and made one.

As his new last name, he is Mr. Flop

Elop is the definition of a pathetic, Microsoft-brain-washed CEO. How stupid, to think that adding BETTER, more POWER EFFICIENT, and FASTER processors into devices is a bad idea… I am a computer engineer and there is NO WAY we could have as incredible of technology or battery life WITHOUT multiple cores.

Wow… and no wonder NOKIA has laid off thousands upon thousands of employees. Saved Nokia? I guarantee that is a lie.

annnnnnnnd…. this is just more anti-Google FUD from microsoft. between their company attitude and metro, they’re really starting to aliniate me, and this is coming from someone who used to be called a MS fanboy.

and yes, nokia may as well be owned my microsoft. the two companies are closer in bed than any other tech partenership i know of.

Nokia is OUT of the tech game. Their expiration date is coming real soon. {{-_-}}

I can think of rationale and post it online too! WP7 justification needs to stay on engadget.. at least isheep defend a platform that people actually use.. for years its been “wait till wp7 comes out it’ll kill all” then it was “just wait till mango comes out it’ll kill all then it was “just wait till Nokia releases their phones then it’ll kill all” and still no one cares and its not because they are in dual core denial mode. Like the mainstream computer market phones will be a duopoly.. if you need further clarification talk to RIM.. if that doesn’t do it for you talk to the company whose strategy Microsoft copied .. palm..

In fairness, his new look is quite good on him.

Once they finish getting graphene into batteries then i will no longer worry about either 4g or quad core proc’s.

(assuming i spelled graphene correctly)

What a joke.

I have to agree. The only thing these quad core CPUs help for is games. And that is what the 3DS/Vita are for.

I don’t need my apps to open in 1/4 of a second instead of 1/2.

because every laptop is still using a single core processor right?
Yeah.

Someone has a Glasscock? Woodcock you say? Wow…

Elop loses in the Battle of the Bad Names. At that point, I think Elop is glad he lost especially compared to the other bad names.

Forget about a BA in business, it seems like a degree in bullsh!t from clown college is more common among most of these CEOs.

So stupid…At current time yes quad core isn’t needed but if we didn’t think ahead we wouldn’t ever create something new it’s called innovation. Quad core phones at the time might not be fully taken advantage of yet, but these kind of moves are need for an, as some people would say, “a post pc age”. One thing though we have made so many leaps in processors, ram hasn’t really increased in size, i think an increase in ram needs to come to make a better experience, especially when switching between OS’s and the apps your using. Are phones are going to be doing more, and you’ll need to store you desktop environment with it’s apps and phone os with its apps at the same time to enable smooth transition which must be cached or there will be increased launch speeds and everyone wants a instantaneous experience with no loading times.

Stephen Elop is not useful. Quad core and dual core have been proven to be more battery friendly.
