I have always been interested in science, technology and (most of all) computers. These are things that I always loved, even though they were sometimes difficult. I loved math and science class in school; I read science-fiction and fantasy novels in all of my spare time. I was the nerdy kid at school that was bullied and mocked. It would have been so easy to just give in and be "like everyone else." I could have stopped reading. I could have played more sports.

The whole situation came to light because Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's largest daily paper, reported that Elop will receive an €18.8 million ($25.4 million) termination payment that wasn't available to Kallasvuo. Elop stepped down in light of Microsoft agreeing to purchase Nokia's phone business. As a former Microsoft employee, Elop wanted to avoid any conflicts of interest, according to Reuters.
