Inside Out is a 2015 American 3D computer-animated fantasy comedy-drama film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Pete Docter, the film is set in the mind of a young girl, Riley Anderson, where five personified emotions—Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness—try to lead her through life as she moves with her family to a new city. The aforementioned emotions form the film's voice cast: Amy Poehler, Lewis Black, Mindy Kaling, Bill Hader, and Phyllis Smith. The film was co-directed by Ronnie del Carmen and produced by Jonas Rivera, with music composed by Michael Giacchino.

Docter first began developing Inside Out in 2009 after noticing changes in his daughter's personality as she grew older. The film's producers consulted numerous psychologists and researched the mind in preparation for building its story. Initial drafts were unsatisfactory, and the production was revised significantly with the realization that interpersonal relationships guide human emotions.

According to a report by Reuters yesterday the once biggest mobile phone maker in the world, Nokia is making a comeback next year, by designing and licensing handsets again after their agreement with ex partner Microsoft ends early next year. 

"We will look for suitable partners" said Rajeev Suri in an interview published yesterday. "Microsoft makes mobile phones. We would simply design them then make the brand name available to license". If we remember Nokia sold its mobile arm to Microsoft last year, removing itself to the smartphone market since Microsoft already dropped the "Nokia" brand on their windows phone devices and naming it just "Lumia". Meanwhile the "Nokia" name is still used in the feature phones of Microsoft for 10 years. 

On the latter part of 2014 Nokia launched the Nokia Z Launcher for Android and after that here comes the Nokia N1 Tablet, the 1st ever stock android Nokia device that was also designed by Nokia and was manufactured by Foxconn. Last April Nokia buys out the Alcatel Lucent to strengthen its hold in the wireless network on its campaign in developing the 5G network, while they bought the Alcatel Lucent for 15.6 billion euros, Nokia is now selling their HERE Maps. 

With the move of returning to the Smartphone market surely Nokia will nail it again as the company's N1 made a good impression in the Chinese market where it is currently being sold exclusively. I just hope that Nokia will find a partner that is globally competitive and will give good quality device like what Nokia used to create.
