Where have you been working? Every high tech company (software shops) I've worked for in the past 15 years has looked nothing like what you describe. Sure, I see people paying bills or goofing off after a release on rare occasion, but the counterpoint is that the same people were up until 1am the night before and/or all weekend troubleshooting various bullshit. Work impinges so much on home that it's difficult for me to enrage myself seeing some personal stuff at work. But yeah, pr0n at work is not cool. I hope they were all fired.
