Off topic: Am I the only one who finds the stock photos in the article off-putting? They have nothing to do with the subject matter, except in a very indirect, sort-of-metaphorical way. I would take the article much more seriously if they weren't there.

You’re not alone. Those gratuitous, unimaginative photographs (one mirror-flipped, suggesting obliviousness somewhere in the assembly line process), combined with the prolix, buzzword laden, soggy prose, emit a strong corporate odor that made me want to turn away. Pity, because the core of the content is somewhat interesting.

One of them is mirrored and the way Canon is unreadable on the camera is vaguely annoying me.
