I do think that the best engineering ethos that I admire is that engineers are not just motivated by a payday but to build something useful for everyone. HP at its best time represented that. I do like that his quote at the end: "Companie

From my impression of this article, detailing a former executive's proscription to saving Nokia, Nokia has very bureaucratic and change-adverse middle management layer. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/22/nokia_manifesto_risk...
