Finland, Finland, Finland, country where I want to be! No seriously, I’ve called this place home since July 2007. Two things that Finland doesn’t have that most of the world does: Starbucks and RIM’s BlackBerry smartphones. Is that really a bad thing when you think about it? Anyway, things are going to change in April.…
Despite Nokia Siemens Networks laying off 17,000 employees, that doesn’t mean that the company has stopped innovating.

Companies conduct surveys all the time to figure out what exactly their customers want. Orange UK recently did just such a survey, and in it they just so happened to reveal the Orange London.
