- gojomo 19y agoNo, there's not even a 67%. There's a 66.43%, which is (1) an irrelevant detail; and (2) rounds down to 66% if you feel like rounding. Search Google News for 'Trolltech'. There are dozens of examples of good, accurate headlines for this event from dozens of publications. None have the inaccurate figures or misleading implication of your headline. Accurate headlines are about the nicest thing you can do for fellow readers.

- ks 19y agoNokia hasn't purchased anything "The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including acceptance by shareholders representing more than 90 % of the fully diluted share capital" They want to buy at least 90% of the company. 67% is already confirmed. If they don't get 90%, there won't be a deal. So you can't say "Nokia purchases 67% of Trolltech's stock"
