Great phtograph of a beautiful kitchen, complete with a chef providing catered lunches, captioned with a description of how the company had to lay off staff because the company executives can't figure out how to make money. Perhaps that should come before the chef? Why is it such a badge of pride to provide perks on other people's dime? Silicon Valley in a nutshell.

Silicon Valley in a nutshell If you really want to make the bile rise, read the Wired piece on the new Apple campus (although to be fair, I believe everyone at Apple involved with the project is being somewhat embarrassed at having to erect Jobs' grotesque intellectual mausoleum).
