I dont know whose interest is try to make Finland looks always like a total idiot.
Here is two comparisons ; Global Information Technology Report 2014 and The World’s Leading Nations for Innovation and Technology 2011.
These comparisons shows that Finland is much more than "neandertahl" :)

The Networked Readiness Index 2014 and the winner was "surprice" Finland :) (link under) . There was 148 countrys in this competition.
"This year marks the 13th edition of the Global Information Technology Report, which provides a comprehensive assessment of networked readiness, or how prepared an economy is to apply the benefits of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to promote economic growth and well-being. Using updated methodology that was introduced in 2012, the report ranks the progress of 148 economies in leveraging ICTs to increase productivity, economic growth and the number of quality jobs".
