@Dietrich T. Schmitz, Your Linux Advocate
I'll see your Andy Grove article against startups based on a few anecdotal observations and raise you a researched, data backed article for startups:

Regardless of these two views, the article on this page seems to have no connection with reality. I generally share the political leanings of Murphy but can't fathom how comes to the conclusions he does - SunRays? iPads? Really? Somehow this sounds like: stop spending money on low cost support labor so you can spend big money on high cost consultants and migration teams... and hope you have no cost in retraining your user base. There is a lot of fantasy here that seems to be driven by ideology. Fair enough, it's about page views and not anybody actually acting on what you say so I can appreciate that. Probably more page views with a headline like "With Obama and Microsoft - Cut Jobs to Survive".
