Weird that this article would be posted this morning while we are talking about this. My point is that every company, even Nokia and Nokia of old or new, is only after a profit. Everything else is secondary but that also doen't mean things are black and white. I teld to view them as grey.

I usually prefer a more nuanced view. If you define the goals of a company as the goals of people working for that company, then a company like Nokia is definitely NOT only after money (at least I hope not). I'm willing to bet that there are a lot of people with passion for hardware design, software development, UI design, and the desire to literally change the world by "connecting people".
This is the case in a lot of companies, not just tech-related (but new tech often does change the way we live our lives).
And imho the most important parts of a company are the combined goals and capabilities of the people working for it, not the money, brand-image, patents or even the products. The products define the company's past, the people its future.
