Microsoft Buys Nokia’s Mobile Phone Business

Microsoft announced that they have reached an agreement with Nokia’s board to acquire Nokia’s devices & services business and to license Nokia’s patents and mapping services.  Read on for details.

banner_465

Microsoft announced that they have reached an agreement with Nokia’s board to acquire Nokia’s devices & services business and to license Nokia’s patents and mapping services.  Microsoft will pay about $5 billion for Nokia’s Devices and Services business, and about $2 billion to license certain patent holdings from Nokia.  The total transaction will be around $7 billion; in addition, Microsoft will provide loans up to about Euro 1.5 million to Nokia in the meantime.  Stephen Elop has stepped down as Nokia CEO to become the head of the Devices and Services division, and will take over Microsoft’s current devices business when the transaction closes in early 2014.  Microsoft will own the Lumia and Asha lines and will be able to use the Nokia brand for some time following the transaction.  The deal is subject to regulatory approval, but the parties expect relatively easy approvals as the combination should enhance competition in the smartphone business.  On a US GAAP basis, this deal is expected to be accretive to Microsoft’s EPS in 2016, 2015 on the adjusted non-GAAP method of presentation.  Here is the full press release from Microsoft:

Microsoft to acquire Nokia’s devices & services business, license Nokia’s patents and mapping services

Sept. 03, 2013

REDMOND, Washington and ESPOO, Finland – Sept. 3, 2013 – Microsoft Corporation and Nokia Corporation today announced that the Boards of Directors for both companies have decided to enter into a transaction whereby Microsoft will purchase substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business, license Nokia’s patents, and license and use Nokia’s mapping services.

Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will pay EUR 3.79 billion to purchase substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business, and EUR 1.65 billion to license Nokia’s patents, for a total transaction price of EUR 5.44 billion in cash. Microsoft will draw upon its overseas cash resources to fund the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, subject to approval by Nokia’s shareholders, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.

Building on the partnership with Nokia announced in February 2011 and the increasing success of Nokia’s Lumia smartphones, Microsoft aims to accelerate the growth of its share and profit in mobile devices through faster innovation, increased synergies, and unified branding and marketing. For Nokia, this transaction is expected to be significantly accretive to earnings, strengthen its financial position, and provide a solid basis for future investment in its continuing businesses.

“It’s a bold step into the future – a win-win for employees, shareholders and consumers of both companies. Bringing these great teams together will accelerate Microsoft’s share and profits in phones, and strengthen the overall opportunities for both Microsoft and our partners across our entire family of devices and services,” said Steve Ballmer, Microsoft chief executive officer. “In addition to their innovation and strength in phones at all price points, Nokia brings proven capability and talent in critical areas such as hardware design and engineering, supply chain and manufacturing management, and hardware sales, marketing and distribution.”

“We are excited and honored to be bringing Nokia’s incredible people, technologies and assets into our Microsoft family. Given our long partnership with Nokia and the many key Nokia leaders that are joining Microsoft, we anticipate a smooth transition and great execution,” Ballmer said. “With ongoing share growth and the synergies across marketing, branding and advertising, we expect this acquisition to be accretive to our adjusted earnings per share starting in FY15, and we see significant long-term revenue and profit opportunities for our shareholders.”

“For Nokia, this is an important moment of reinvention and from a position of financial strength, we can build our next chapter,” said Risto Siilasmaa, Chairman of the Nokia Board of Directors and, following today’s announcement, Nokia Interim CEO. “After a thorough assessment of how to maximize shareholder value, including consideration of a variety of alternatives, we believe this transaction is the best path forward for Nokia and its shareholders. Additionally, the deal offers future opportunities for many Nokia employees as part of a company with the strategy, financial resources and determination to succeed in the mobile space.”

“Building on our successful partnership, we can now bring together the best of Microsoft’s software engineering with the best of Nokia’s product engineering, award-winning design, and global sales, marketing and manufacturing,” said Stephen Elop, who following today’s announcement is stepping aside as Nokia President and CEO to become Nokia Executive Vice President of Devices & Services. “With this combination of talented people, we have the opportunity to accelerate the current momentum and cutting-edge innovation of both our smart devices and mobile phone products.”

Nokia has outlined its expected focus upon the closing of the transaction in a separate press release published today.

Review of Rayman Legends From Ubisoft

Review of Rayman Legends From Ubisoft

 

Inexplicable disfigurements aside, Rayman is back; up to his usual antics of slapping baddies, clambering vines and rescuing the local populace.

RL_screen_3_20000_Lums_Under_The_Sea[1]

After a rather lengthy nap of 100 years, our fairy friend Murfy desperately awakens our limbless hero in order to save the ten princesses and countless teensies that have been captured by the Nightmares. Making no bones about it, Rayman instantly sets out to free the helpless captives. As per usual in a 2D platformer of this ilk, the narrative is strewn aside and forgotten about within the first hour. It’s not a story driven, cutscene heavy cinematic, it’s Rayman and frankly, that’s a little bit refreshing.

When you’re dropped in Rayman’s world, you expect to be struck with the wacky stick a few times before you get used to it, and inevitably accept it as the norm. Not so much the case in Legends, it keeps on giving with it’s hilarity and refuses to let you be serious. From the time when you tickle a vicious looking, axe wielding thug, leaving him wide open for a sucker punch to the gut, to the times where you poke swamp creatures in the eyes to cheekily sprint past them. I seriously wish there was a ‘Tee-Hee’ button you could spam at these points, never mind though, I’ll just keep repeating it out loud instead.

Level design correlates splendidly along with the difficulty curve present. Earlier levels require not much more than admiring the stunning artwork on offer whilst attempting to fathom the ‘crazy’ music out. Later levels, as expected, are vastly more punishing despite never quite reaching the level of infuriation you might expect. Secrets are hidden in both plain sight and dangerous situations; to max out each level you must often reach your quota of glims too. Enemy positions are learnable and the checkpoint system is rather forgiving so you’ll never have to replay much in any stage should you fall to their demise.

RL__screen_1_FIEST_DE_LOS_MUERTOS_LU[1]

A platformer wouldn’t be complete without an almost insurmountable quantity of levels to master, Legends is of course, no different there. Over 120 levels are present for you to find favourites and that’s not particularly difficult. I imagine Ubisoft supposed ploughing through those wouldn’t take very long, so they’ve added around 40 remastered versions from 2011’s also rather stellar Rayman Origins on top. So yes, there’s plenty of content here.

Our aide in the pursuit of constant debacles is Murfy the punctual fairy. On PS3 at least, he responds to a simple press of circle to complete your evil bidding, whilst on Wii U, of which Legends was originally planned to be an exclusive on, he requires a more hands on approach with the touch screen. Without this feature which can, admittedly be performed by a friend, I don’t think PS3 users are losing out too much. After all, a little more finger dexterity required in a platformer never hurt anyone right?

Dispatching foes on a platformer can usually be hit or miss, all entirely dependant upon what attacks you may utilise. Fortunately for us, Rayman has his whole slew of varied moves he can perform, none superfluous and each immediate, you don’t feel as though it was the games fault when you get bopped on the head, rather your own. Of course, that’s not to say that you won’t however! Some of the boss battles can be gloriously tricksome, yet we all know the drill by now, learn the patterns and punish!

RL_screen_8_KUNG_FOOT_GC_130821_10am

Collecting hidden secrets in a game has never been more rewarding, with Rayman’s pixel perfect jumping and responsive controls, getting to a helpless teensie feels fun as opposed to a frustrating challenge. They’re not particularly well hidden, especially in the earlier stages, yet they always feel attainable and gratifying once found. A small portion of levels essentially incorporate a time limit making completionist runs a strive for perfection or else restarting the stage from scratch. But then if you want the goodies, you must be prepared to put in the effort as after all, what’s a completionist if not a perfectionist?

If single-player’s not your bag, regrettably your options are limited to local multiplayer. There are fiendishly difficult leaderboards if your ego’s up for a thrashing; there are also daily and weekly challenges that will really put your Rayman-ing to the test if you lust after the top spots. Armchair coop is where it’s at with a game like this though and if you must take out vengeance upon your brethren, there’s always KungFoot football to mess around in too.

Due to the lack of genuinely great 2D platformers on the PS3, it’s invigorating to see this classic genre get revitalised. The presentation is eminent, the content huge, the unlockables copious and of course, the limbs still unaccountable for.

Download Issue 16 of The MagPi Digital Magazine for lovers of the Raspberry Pi

If you have, or are interested in the Raspberry Pi, then you might want to download the new issue of The MagPi digital magazine.

16

This is how the Raspberry Pi guys describe the magazine:

The MagPi, a free online magazine dedicated to the Raspberry Pi, whose first issue was released a few days ago, is a perfect example of that. It’s been put together entirely by volunteers, guided by Ash Stone, Jason “Jaseman” Davies, Meltwater and other names you may recognise from the forums and comments on this site. I was broadly aware they were up to something, but I was amazed at the scope of what they sent me to look at earlier in the week, and I’ve been really, really impressed by the first issue. There are Debian and Puppy guides, articles on computing history, ideas for robotics projects, tutorials in Scratch and Python (with code you can type in yourself, just like in the good old days), features about the Raspberry Pi itself, and other goodies to dig into. I really can’t recommend it enough, and if you haven’t been lucky enough to get to the head of the queue, you don’t need a Raspberry Pi to find it useful (you might actually find the magazine good preparation before yours arrives).

It is a really interesting read – so go download it today, and let us know what you think!
