Mr Fun, here's another mistake in that article: <While Nokia didn't fight CDMA, as Ericsson did, it was unwilling to license Qualcomm's technology, preferring to develop the phones on its own. > In fact, Nokia was one of the first licensees for QUALCOMM's CDMA technology. I think it was 1990 that they bought a licence. What they have done is avoid buying ASICs from Q! but they are licensed, produce phones and pay royalties.
It's really annoying when people misquote articles to support their point of view. Associated Octel used to do that over lead in petrol, quoting things out of context. Being skeptical, I'd check the original source and Associated Octel were way off in what they tried to claim.
I agree with you that Mr Aggarwal needs to be more particular about interpretation.
Exaggerated exaggeration, irony, satire, sarcasm and fun and games etc are all fair enough, but not outright misleading.
