Do Companies MAKE Anything Anymore?
From Matt Asay, http://infoworld.com/3597:
"Seriously, Google piggybacks on content owners. Red Hat piggybacks on Linux kernel hackers (though it is now actively leading that development). ESPN(Mobile) piggybacks on Sprint's cellular network. I could go on. Doesn't anyone actually build things anymore? What will happen if we all turn into marketing machines? Will this leave us in a world devoid of substance or, in the case of open source, of software?"
