In an article in Finnish Taloussanomat Rovio denies it is going to move to Ireland:
I am willing to pay a $500 price premium to any company that is willing to sell me a laptop that has a standard sized keyboard. I type 50 pages of text or code per week. IT IS WORTH IT TO ME
I bought this Acer Aspire for my wife about three years ago for the exact same reason, although hers has a Core i5 instead of AMD.

Ok, this is a secret so don't go telling anyone.
Angry Birds is a Finnish conspiracy AND an attack plan for our inevitable assault on Iran. It also funds the Finnish military.
Did you think think that the name Rovio (=stake or huge-ass bonfire) is just a coincidence?
