Eric L: As it turned out Dr J was absolutely on the mark in the actual interview he gave to the Financial Times, as has proven to be the case "in the event".
The power of the press to report as it sees fit, including selective editing and distortion of wording and misrepresenting intent, is sometimes a sickening thing in this world of ours.
I am so old I even remember when I thought the FT was doing its best to be straight in its reporting. (But sadly, those days are gone, worldwide - or maybe I'm just less naive.)
The published version of that interview was a hatchet job - absolutely unprofessional - but "mainstream" for journalism these days. (I had hoped FT was not just another yellow sheet, after all it uses pink paper)
Perhaps that had something to do with the publisher of the FT being on the Nokia board.
Naw, couldn't be, except perhaps the newpaper knew only the Nokia party line, so Qualcomm had to be off base, and so that was how the story was "reported" [sic].
Best.
