Echoing auxym something Bell Labs like, I've had two professors Bjarne [0] and Aho [1] who both worked there, and I've always got the sense that it was just about research and building things for the sake of building them. Seems like a golden age of bright minds all together in one place. Maybe a mission of building things just for fun (that - or maybe another business whose goal was to organize the world's information like Google - I've always like the idea of someone trying to build a new search engine today).
