    • Nokia Microsoft deal falls through as Nokia merges with Google.

    by | Apr 1, 2011 | Latest | 10 comments

    After a turbulent ride for Nokia in recent months, with share prices falling rapidly due to uncertainty about its future, it seems the deal between Nokia and Microsoft is officially off.

    And, in a surprising turn of events, the Finnish mobile phone maker that shunned Android in favour of Windows Phone 7 has opted to merge with Google instead.

    The deal is worth ‘a lot’ according to a Nokia spokesperson, but it must be completed by no later than 12pm today in order to be legally binding. Otherwise Nokia will be left out in the cold with no smartphone strategy at all, forcing the company to return to selling toilet paper.

    The combined company will become known as ‘Nookle‘, after threats of legal action from Gok Wan over the other possible name, Gokia.

    It remains to be seen how long it will take for people to get used to ‘Nookling it’ or finding their way around with ‘Nookle Maps’. However one long-time Nokia fan told What Mobile that the name ‘Nookle Maps’ was a far better name than ‘Ovi Maps’, which according to him: “sounded like some sort of made up joke name”.

    UPDATE: 12pm; It seems that regulatory issues have forced this deal to be shelved.

    Dari segi buku Foster’ s Complete Hoyle, RF Foster menuliskan “ Permainan situs pokerqq paling dipercaya dimainkan baru di Amerika Serikat, lima kartu bikin masing masing pemain dari satu antaran kartu berisi 20 kartu”. Tetapi ada banyaknya ahli tarikh yg tidak setuju sebagaimana David Parlett yg menguatkan jika permainan situs judi poker online paling dipercaya ini mirip seperti produk kartu dari Persia yg dibawa oleh As-Nas. Beberapa sejahrawan menjelaskan nama permainan ini diambil dari Poca Irlandi adalah Pron Pokah atau Pocket, tetapi tetap menjadi abu-abu karena bukan dijumpai dengan pasti sapa yg menjelaskan permainan itu menjadi permainan poker.

    Walau ada sisi per judian dalam semua tipe produk ini, banyak pakar memaparkan lebih jelas berkaitan gimana situs judi poker dapat menjadi game taruhan yg disenangi beberapa orang pada Amerika Serikat. Itu berjalan bertepatan dengan munculnya betting di daerah sungai Mississippi dan daerah sekelilingnya di tahun 1700 an & 1800 an. Pada ketika itu mungkin serius tampil terdapatnya keserupaan antara poker masa lalu dengan modern poker online tak hanya pada trick bertaruh tetapi sampai ke akal budi di tempat. Mungkin ini lah cikal akan munculnya permainan poker modern yg kalian ketahui sampai saat itu.

    Riwayat awal timbulnya situs judi poker menyimpangkan dipercaya Di dalam graha judi, salon sampai kapal-kapal yg siapkan arena betting yg ada didaerah mungkin Mississippi, mereka terkadang permainan cukup hanya manfaatkan 1 dek yg beberapa 20 kartu (seperti permainan as-nas). Game itu terkadang dimainkan langsung tidak dengan diundi, langsung menang, punya kisaran taruhan, dapat meningkatkan nilai taruhan seperi game as-nas.

    Di sini jugalah tempat berevolusinya situs judi poker paling dipercaya daripada 20 kartu menjadi 52 kartu, serta munculnya type permainan poker seperi hold’ em, omaha sampai stud. Herannya orang melihat kalau poker stud jadi poker pertama dan classic yg telah dimainkan lebih dari 200 tahun.

    Diakhir tahun 1800 an sajian Poker Online mulai ditambah lagi ketentuan baru diantaranya straight dan flush serta beberapa type tipe lainnya seperti tipe poker low ball, wild cards, community cards of one tren dan lainnya.
