No, carranza, there was a Nordic hero called Haakon in the pic; that was the obvious Nokia metaphor. I wouldn't choose an antipodean character as a Nokia stand-in... Maurice being the chief reason. Anyway, this Haakon kept his mouth shut for the entire movie and just slaughtered the opposition without making a fuss. Maybe Connie Nielsen is an alternative... she's the Scandinavian hottie that ended up spurning Commodus. Speaking of Maurice - his pick from Qualcomm's press release was pretty illuminating: "...QUALCOMM has reserved the right to adjust its license terms and conditions, including increasing its royalties, for those companies that delay in entering into a license with QUALCOMM..." You can't deny that this sort of half-assed, melodramatic blackmail is exactly what you would expect from Hollywood villains. The use of large cap letters speaks for itself. Tero
