The problem with Nokia, atleast here in the states, is that they are slowly outsourcing their "idea" people. New designs and development are being put everywhere now. Hell, the buildings here in Irving went from 4 full buildings full of employees to just one building with enough people to only fill 4 (of 7) floors. I get a kick off seeing their EMF room, but they hardly use it because everything is developed out of states.

That might, just might, be because of Nokia is not from the states. You did know that, didn't you? The buildings here in Helsinki are still full :)

The thing is, there were probably hundreds of identical lawnmowers made, some 50 years ago. The ones that broke up were thrown away and have long since been forgotten. You just don't hear the anecdotes about your grandpa buying a lawnmower in the fifties, only to have it break down in the mid-sixties. We kinda fall for the same thing when it comes to entertainment, we brag about how well the Beatles has survived the test of time - yet we forget all about the thousands of has-beens. They really do make them like they used to, just wait 50 years and you'll see.

Being your own boss isn't sleeping in till noon and taking days off when you want

Yes it is actually, as long as the job gets done. Your client doesn't care if you work am, pm, Monday or Sunday. No more hanging around the office for 10 hours a day just to look efficient. If you're doing server maintenance they'll probably prefer you doing all the stuff outside office hours.
