Nokia's board of directors seems caught in a tragicomedy of epic proportions.

Nokia's Ad For Its New Windows 8 Tablet Is Truly Creepy And Weird
Nokia released a new commercial for its Lumia 2520 Windows-running tablet, and watching it will make you feel uncomfortable. In the ad, Nokia is marketing its new device as the mullet of tablets. Just like the 90s haircut championed the attitude of "business in the front, party in the back," the Lumia is optimized for both work and play.

The upside to being let go by Nokia
During the years of Nokia's decline, culminating in the sale of its mobile phone division to Microsoft in September, thousands of workers were made redundant. But the ex-Nokians have now created hundreds of new companies - thanks partly to a very Finnish level of support from the employer to its departing staff.

Nokia reportedly paid a secret multimillion dollar ransom to Symbian code thief
Back in the late 2000s, Nokia apparently found itself the target of a high-stakes extortion attempt from persons threatening to release code that could allow malware to spread across its Symbian operating system — then the leading smartphone OS. According to MTV Finland (unrelated to the music-focused MTV), Nokia paid several million euros in late 2007 or early 2008 to blackmailers who had obtained a key that would allow any developer to sign their Symbian apps...

Nokia saw the future, but couldn't build it
There was once a time when my search for a new phone would start (and likely finish) with a visit to Nokia.com. The Finnish company had the widest choice, the best designs, and the most respected brand around the world, so it was pretty hard to pick a bad phone from its catalog. Try doing the same thing today, however, and you’ll find every link on the Nokia homepage pointing to Microsoft’s Mobile Devices division — the new incarnation of the Nokia most of us knew and loved.

WIRED Staffers' Fondest Memories of Our Old Nokia Phones
This week, Nokia quietly packed up its cubicle in Redmond, bid its American coworkers at Microsoft farewell, and left America. Microsoft has sent Nokia back across the pond, closer to its birth place, to lend its stature to international phones, probably of the lower-end variety. But don’t cry, Nokia is just spending its golden years closer to family and familiar languages. You can still visit Nokia when you travel abroad.

Finnish start-ups rise from Nokia's ashes
For many, Finland and Nokia were synonymous. And when in 2012 and 2013, Nokia shed 24,500 employees and sold Nokia House (and its mobile phone division to Microsoft), they called it the "Elopcalypse" after then-chief executive Stephen Elop. But the sinking of Nokia has led to an explosion of start-ups, as a skilled workforce jumps ship and begin businesses.
