Nokia suffered from lack of direction from the top... They had both symbian and maemo, both officially blessed, but incompatible. Symbian was the past and maemo had promise, so what did management do... a hail mary bet on microsoft? It came out of nowhere and seemed desperate, I believe the market's reaction reflected this sadly.

If you are talking about the Butler Lampson talk that Alan Kay mentions, I would also be interested if anyone has found this somewhere ...

Sweet website, been meaning to pick up a copy of the Dream Machine...

It might not be a great analogy but its hilarious.

I guess this is cool, but maybe they should focus on actually making Windows Terminal into a usable terminal emulator first. I've found so many bugs with it and it still doesn't even have a GUI for its settings.

Seriously watch every Alan Kay (not the survivalist) video on youtube, you will not regret it. It's practically criminal that they have such low view counts.

Am I the only one that finds these BD robots kind of repulsive? They are so weird and alien and... unnatural.

For 2020 its gotta be:

I was a cog at Nokia during the time the iPhone was released. So look forward to reading this and hope it sheds some light on Nokia's implosion. It felt like Nokia cut its own head off pretty needlessly. Nokia was still making better hardware in lots of ways (better call quality, better cameras). Symbian was pretty terrible though. It could do a lot but was hard to use. I always thought Nokia should have ditched Symbian and adopt Android, as it was pretty clear that had potential coming from Google, and they needed better hardware partners. I would like to see how what would have played out in an alternative reality...

I replaced Chrome with Brave more than a year ago and I recommend it as basically a better version of Chrome. The script blocking feature is especially useful for nytimes, and other paywall sites. The one problem I have had was my computer crashed at one point and Brave completely lost my session (4 windows, probably ~100 tabs in total). So now using Firefox mostly, even though I like it less, with Brave as a 2nd browser.

Excellent video and nice write-up!
