Cyanobacteria growing on invasive water-thyme(Hydrilla verticillat that super-accumulates bromine) create neurotoxins with that element (comes from some weed killers, misc. anthropogenic, and natural sources.) They're toxic to all sorts of aquatic organisms and raptors that prey on them as well. Investigation on toxicity to mammals is planned. (URL: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.newscientist.com%2Fa...).

I remember reading the BMAA related articles a whiles back, (URL: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Facademic.oup.com%2Ftoxsc...)

It's a confounded problem. For instance, IIRC, throughout the year depending on local climate there are algae blooms at some body of water or other, but not necessarily any formalized fine grain testing + warning/notification system in place for the consumer fisher/hunter/gatherer (other than avoid fishing in bloom and avoid fish/crustaceans near a bloom.) BMAA or other multitude of toxin testing is likely impractical for the consumer as well. What is the prudent path to allow recreational water use/foraging while not being paralyzed by insidious risks.(see related: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguardian.com%2Fen... and https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fhabs%2Fgener...)

(my comment was blocked earlier due to comment filter bug; I've now been informed of a workaround.)

Short Term:
- Start by making near stock (all Google app.) phone.
- Raise patent licensing fees for all Android phone makers other than MS/Nokia.
- Use cost advantage + internal Exchange/Office interoperability to grow userbase of consumers and businesspeople respectively; make MSNokia _THE_ brand to get for users that concurrently like Android & MS Windows.
- Start user conversions by first running MS apps alongside Google ones and giving incentives {free MS docs, Exchange, web storage, MS Live single sign on.}

Long term:
- Wholesale replacement of all Google apps.
- Integrate maps to gain data collection. Nokia already had mapping dept. that MS bought earlier.
- Bing (Cortana???) voice search for greater user base & data mining.
- Increase MS patent fee on other Android OEMs.
- Sell license to MSNokia "Android" at sweetheart price.
- Use market share to introduce & push new MS specific features/products.

I'd like to imagine there will be heavy growth in augmented reality; the above tactics could ostensibly help MS capture a signfiicant smartphone user base , but strategically may leave market wide open for Apple/Google/Samsung to gain first mover advantage in emergent non-phone continuously/immersively-networked consumer field...
-- The Walter Gretsky quote "skate where the puck's going, not where it's been" would be partially applicable in that case leaving MS playing catchup WRT creating, integrating, and tuning new communication/computing usage modalities. If MS focus must be split between native MS os phone, Nokia Android, and emergent markets; the combinatorial use cases could result in significant user-experience consistency issues along with QA & time-to-market headaches for MSNokia product management.

You missed some closing parentheses!
