Напрасно
>>1. на что ориентировано новое общество 21 века, если не на развитие свободной творческой деятельности,
>
>В набивании брюха (в России - горькой в том числе) "по Иванову-Гуревичу". Это я вывожу из информации, выловленной в медиа-пространстве этого самого нового опчества 21 века, хм. И это я, кстати, исхожу из того, что общество (в том числе и новое, 21 века) - это все люди, в т.ч. негры, китайцы, русские, предприниматели, бомжи, преступники и т.д.
Информацию можно вылавливать всякую. Вот, например, что пишет житель загнивающего Запада; программист, которому неоднократно светил шанс быть купленным крупной корпорацией и разбогатеть:
«In fact, I'd say that almost 5 minutes after the meeting Steve and I knew in our hearts that it wasn't time — that we didn't want to join Apple (yet). We maybe went through the motions of "deciding" on the flight back home, but I think we knew the truth. And the truth went something like this:
«This is our only chance to do Panic. We don't have kids, we're not married, we don't have huge obligations. We didn't invest our life savings into it, just a few hundred dollars. We don't even have life savings. We probably won't get this opportunity again in our lifetime — the full chance to take a complete risk, to experiment, quit our day jobs, start a business that certainly may fail, put our hearts into the soul of it, and try to make it fly — making the best possible Macintosh software we can without the threat of mortgages or the cost of braces or kids wondering why we're never home. And while there may be a time in our life where we crave some stability, or there may be a time in our life when things don't work out with Panic and we return to be a player in a larger, awesome team like Apple, that time is certainly not now. Panic's time is.
(For best effect, play The Star Spangled Banner while reading that paragraph.)»
И еще (уже не об Apple).
«Did we make the right decision?
I truly think we're better off, and then some. We're still around, we've grown a lot, we're quite happy, we have freedoms, and although we may not be rich — at all — at least we didn't have to quit our own company, right? I always believe that things happen for a reason, and if they had happened towards AOL town, I probably wouldn't even be allowed to write this. (Because I'd be on a beach, in a Ferrari, drinking lear jets. Crap.)»

Не знаю, как вам, а мне нравятся такие ребята :) особенно за
«While all of these extra-codal affairs were taking place, Steve and I continued to work hard on the next major release of Audion, distractions be damned.»
