Because the company understands anger so well, I guess they plan to lay people off on a Friday. What will be the global free market reaction to this news? How will Obama calm us all this time?

another 99 weeks of unemployment for American unemployed to compensate for the Fins losing their jobs.

I had to look up "Angry Birds" because I had no idea what it was.

Interesting that a hundred years ago, when we needed the hardware of lights, and cars and combines and tools to develop our nation, we prospered long but when we focused on software, our "progress" is shortlived.

(I know, Finnish company, but my comment is still correct for us here)

The job cuts in Finland, which account for 16% of its workforce, will happen "sooner rather than later," said chief executive Mikael Hed on its website.

16% of Finland's jobs, or 16% of Rovio's???? Can't anybody write a comprehensible sentence any more, even the BBC?

Are they building a slingshot outside the office?

Wow.

If 130 people is 16%, that’s 813 employees.

At 40k burdened cost per employee, that’s a cost of $32m/year.

I may be missing something, but it’s hard to imagine Angry Birds generating that much revenue (creating that much value).
