Quote:Serious "nerd" question.
Are you disappointed when Nokia jumped into bed with M$ instead of continuing development of the native OS?
At the time it seemed like a wrong and desperate move to make, which it definitely was, but they were anyway on the way to hell as they couldn't compete with others in the business. We don't talk about Nokia that much anymore. It was good run but they were a failure in the end.
Quote:Are you a fan of Kimi Raikkonen?
Don't follow F1 so I'm not a fan but don't dislike him either. He seems like a good guy.
Quote:Do you follow Veikkausliga?
No. I only follow NHL hockey.
Quote:Do you like any of our British comedy? How does your comedy compare?
Finnish comedy quite often dark and dry, sometimes absurd or just weird, and sometimes they unsuccessfully try to copy British and American styles, but most of our humor is unique, which is why foreigners never get it.
A couple of clips from my favorite Finnish comedy show:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzHLxtNKUBw (this one spoofs American crime thrillers, it's in English)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huErwI1SgJs (and this one is a Star Trek parody, without subtitles, but the point is that one of the characters is trying to understand what "emotions" mean)
British comedies are really popular here. I love Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, The Office, Extras etc.
