Nokia has struggled to compete in the smartphone market under Kallasvuo's leadership.

Nokia has removed Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo as chief executive and appointed Stephen Elop from Microsoft to replace him in a bid to raise its game against Apple and Google in the smartphone market. Mr Elop, currently head of Microsoft's business division, will take charge of the world's biggest handset maker on September 21 when Mr Kellasvuo steps down after four years in charge.
"The time is right to accelerate the company's renewal; to bring in new executive leadership with different skills and strengths in order to drive company success," said Jorma Ollila, Nokia chairman, on

There might be a tiny bit of upheaval up at the peaks of Nokia management today, but that doesn't mean we all need to stand around looking serious and forecasting who'll leverage what synergies in order to actuate the requisite paradigmatic shift in the company's device portfolio. No, we're much more inclined to go check out a new ad video that show off the mods and hacks Nokia users have

slacker jobs 9 awesome slacker jobs you could actually have

It’s almost a universal truth that if you’re unhappy with your job, there’s a good chance you’re probably not as happy with life in general as you could be. Everyone has their own opinion on what the perfect dream job entails, but some of those require big fancy degrees and incredibly long hours. And let’s be honest, a lot of Guyism readers (myself included) may not have the chops to cut it as a heart surgeon or fighter pilot. So, here are nine awesome slacker jobs. I have no idea how one acquires some of these jobs, but

Panhandlers get more creative with their appeals for charity in southern California.

KARACHI: Even at a concert rehearsal, Atif Aslam is in full stage-mode. He addresses the crew on the mic, introducing his friends (Lanny Cordola and Todd Shea) who he is working with on the Pakistan America Peace through Music project – and gets Shea to sing “Aadat” with him.

It makes perfect sense. Aslam, whose debut single with Goher Mumtaz – “Aadat” – made him an overnight star, instantly jumped onto doing concerts (and began reportedly charging prices that shocked concert promoters).
Aslam is now a huge star in India and in Pakistan, and is full of optimism that things will get back to normal. His work with Cordola is the talk of the music industry and the blogosphere.

“It just kind of happened,” Aslam tells The Express Tribune. “We recorded a couple of songs and Lanny has supported us all the way. The idea to collaborate with a lot of musicians is because abroad people just see trash and terrorism (about Pakistan) and he wanted to make a documentary and tell people why Pakistan is a lot more than what we see. We went to Charsadda and Swat as

Salman Butt, Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer are expected to return home on Friday. PHOTO: AFP

LONDON: Salman Butt, Muhammad Asif and Muhammad Amir, the three players accused of spot-fixing, are to return home on Friday, a spokesman for the team said.
“They have not been charged by the police with any offence,” the spokesman added. “They have fully co-operated with the police into the enquiries and maintain that they are innocent of any alleged wrongdoing.
“They have agreed with the police to return to England if the police request them to do so to further assist the police in their enquiries.”
The Metroplitan Police verified the developments with a statement of their own. “We can confirm that we have been made aware that the three Pakistani cricketers interviewed under caution on Friday September 3 intend to leave the United Kingdom today, Friday September 10, and

New Delhi: Pakistan's Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi failed to win his first grand slam title when he and his partner Kveta Peschke lost to Liezel Huber and Bob Bryan in the mixed doubles final.

Quresh and his Czech partner were no match for their opponents and went down in straight sets 4-6, 4-6.

Earlier on Wednesday, Qureshi and his doubles partner in the men's doubles event Rohan Bopanna created history by reaching their first grand slam final. The Indo-Pak pair beat

Police say the three Pakistan cricketers questioned over fixing allegations are flying home.
London Metropolitan Police say the players have promised to return to England to assist with the investigation “in due course.”
Test captain Salman Butt and bowlers Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Aamer were questioned by police last week. They have been suspended by the International Cricket Council on corruption charges.
Their lawyers issued a statement on Friday saying the players “are looking forward to being reunited with their families.”
It says “they remain available to cooperate fully with the police investigation and

New data shows that US Web surfers are spending more time socializing on Facebook than searching with Google.
In August, people spent a total of 41.1 million minutes on Facebook, about 9.9 percent of their Web-surfing minutes for the month, researchers at comScore Inc. say. That just barely surpassed the 39.8 million minutes, or 9.6 percent, people spent on all of Google Inc.’s sites combined, including YouTube, the free Gmail e-mail program, Google news and other content sites.
US Web users spent 37.7 million minutes on Yahoo Inc. sites, or

Browser betas, like puberty, can be a confusing time. Sure, we're eager to be getting new functionality, but all the crashes and compatibility breaks and unrequited crushes can be a bit tough to handle. Now Mozilla is giving us something big for all our blood, sweat and acne: Firefox 4 Beta 5 has Direct2D hardware acceleration on by default. We tested it out real quick, and it seemed to speed up most HTML5 tasks considerably while inexplicably slowing a couple down, but we're sure all will be

What, you didn't think iFixit would stop at just disassembling the new iPod touch, did you? The all-new nano has also been sat atop the workbench, handed a bottle of hard liquor, and told to close its eyes and count to 120 million. The 6th-gen device weighs in at 67 percent of the volume of its precursor, with a slightly thicker body and that integrated clip on its back. Its 240- x 240-pixel display offers a 220ppi density, which, within Apple's ranks, is bettered only by the Retina Display on the fourth generation iPhone and iPod touch devices. Regrettably, just as with those two machines, the 2010 nano has its

Sony's PSP Go post-mortem continues, Kaz Hirai concedes 'pricing is perhaps an issue'

We're still perplexed by the PSP Go's failure. Who doesn't want to pay more for a device that lacks the hardware to play UMD games, only compatible with downloadable versions that release days or weeks later and then cost more to boot? Sony's Andrew House stepped up in June to put a positive spin on the situation, saying the PSP Go helped them "learn more about what the consumer wanted" -- something they obviously didn't do before shipping the thing. Now Sony Computer Entertainment President Kaz Hirai is giving a similar angle in an interview with MCV, addressing concerns of both price and content availability:

...we did get a lot of feedback, both good and bad. I think we need to make sure we have as many titles available to

Phil Davidson, a candidate for treasurer of Ohio's Stark County gave one of the "craziest" campaign speeches in recent memory at a local Republican Party meeting last night.

Top seed Rafael Nadal advanced to the US Open semi-finals by defeating eighth-seeded Spanish compatriot Fernando Verdasco 7-5, 6-3, 6-4 on Thursday, stretching his Grand Slam win streak to 19 matches.
Nadal, seeking his first US Open title to complete a career Grand Slam, will play Saturday for a finals berth against Russian 12th seed Mikhail Youzhny, who outlasted Swiss 25th seed Stanislas Wawrinka 3-6, 7-6 (9/7), 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Fans of the hot ‘on-off’ couple are confused as to which report to rely on after Salman Khan allegedly told a TV channel that he was “single” a couple of weeks a go.However, last week, Salman was quoted as saying again: Who said I was single?”

Coke studio season 3

What was the first thought that came to your mind when you read the first line? Trying to get into to your brains I can know one thing, if you are Pakistani then most probably you’ve labeled it as a flop and waste of time. After analysis of the #cokestudio topic on twitter one can see that for Indian listeners it still is very much happening for them (and these are the people which Pakistanis themselves believe are more knowledgeable in music). It is a realized fact that bands, solo artists and shows have to constantly evolve to keep listener-ship/viewership intact and add new ones, a fact mostly not understood by the Pakistani audience. The genre for this season was mostly Sufi, there was folk and a dash of spice with

Kindly note that Shahid Kapoor is a typical Muslim: Shahid Kapoor

Ironically speaking Shahid Kapur not only happens to be the product of a broken home, his parents Pankaj Kapur and Neelima Azim having parted ways long ago on differences of opinion, but also a victim of culture clashes and religious divides of Islamic and Hinduism.
But when questioned about this he emphatically retorts, “No I was not at all affected by their separation neither am I a victim of culture clashes or the religious divides of Islamic and Hinduism.
For the simple reason that right since my childhood I have always considered myself as a typical Muslim as my mom Neelima Azim and my Nanihal’s (Maternal ancestors) Islamic influence has been too strong and too powerful enough to cause any other religious diversion in my mind.” And when SHAHEEN RAAJ asked SHAHID KAPOOR to share his views and opinions about ‘Ramzan’ and ‘Religion’ he readily agreed with an instant reaction of just one word, “Shoot”.
To begin with how about revealing the secrets of your own religious beliefs?
Come on! What kind of secrets are you talking about? Religion can never be a secret. All religions may not be like open books yet believe it or not but Islamic religion is the only religion, which has no hidden secrets.
All its basic tenets and principals are clearly mentioned in the holy book – ‘The Koran’. Not only this it is not necessary for a person to know Arabic, he can read and learn to

Florida preacher backed off and then threatened to reconsider burning the Quran on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, angrily accusing a Muslim leader of lying to him on Thursday with a promise to move an Islamic center and mosque away from New York’s ground zero.
The imam planning the center denied there was ever such a deal.
The Rev. Terry Jones generated an international firestorm with his plan to burn the Quran on Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and he has been under intense pressure to give it up.
President Barack Obama urged him to listen to “those better angels” and give up his “stunt,” saying it would endanger U.S. troops and give terrorists a recruiting tool.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates took the extraordinary step of calling Jones personally.
Standing outside his 50-member Pentecostal church, the

Pakistan’s Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi was thwarted in his first attempt to win a US Open doubles title when he and partner Kveta Peschke lost to Liezel Huber and Bob Bryan in Thursday’s mixed doubles final.
The US top seeds defeated Qureshi and his Czech partner 6-4, 6-4 at Arthur Ashe Stadium for the crown, Bryan’s fourth US Open mixed doubles title in eight years, each of them coming with a different partner.
“Too good. They were the better team,” Qureshi said.
Qureshi had hoped to win both the men’s and mixed doubles titles in
