pooogie··on Nokia Agrees to Buy Alcatel-Lucent for $16.6B
> Nokia is now a formidable competitor to Ericsson and Huawei, but it won't be on Samsung's or Apple's radar again.

Ericsson maybe, but Huawei is a juggernaut that leaves them in the dust (massive growth both in terms of revenue and innovation, especially in emerging markets) .Alcatel-Lucent was really struggling throughout its existence.

pooogie··on The Last Man to Beat Floyd Mayweather Jr. Still Regrets It
Interesting read, and I found a summary for those who stopped reading because the article was a little too long: http://www.complex.com/sports/2015/04/serafim-todorov-beatin...

From the article I understand the promoters were impressed by his performance and offered him a professional contract, but he simply said no without a reason so they went to Mayweather instead. So shouldn't he actually be blaming his troubles on refusing their offer instead of beating Mayweather?

His opinion may seem ridiculous to many here, but the following has happened quite a few times before:

1. Stallman shares radical opinion

2. He's ridiculed for his outlandish claims

3. Some news breaks or things happen gradually

4. Now people say 'Stallman called it' or realize he was right all along
