Just do it, says Yahoo's teen app millionaire

(Reuters) - Got a tech idea and want to make a fortune before you're out of your teens? Just do it, is the advice of the London schoolboy who's just sold his smartphone news app to Yahoo for a reported $30 million.
The money is there, just waiting for clever new moves, said 17-year-old Nick D'Aloisio, who can point to a roster of early backers for his Summly app that includes Yoko Ono and Rupert Murdoch.
"D'Aloisio, who lives in the prosperous London suburb of Wimbledon, highlights the support of family and school, which gave him time off, but also, critically, the ideas that came with enthusiastic financial backers.More
You see, you envious communist untermensch, all you really need in order to succeed in a capitalist economy is a really good idea...and the financial support of a diverse group of millionaires and billionaires...and all the privileges associated with growing up in an affluent environment.

Entrepreneurs are the dynamos of our glorious free market system (not as free as as it should be, of course; the state and democratic processes always introduce corruption and inefficiency). This boy is a fresh example of the "driving force" of capitalism. Shrewdly seeking out, along with several wealthy sponsors, profitable opportunities and directing investment to satisfy the most urgent wants of society—in this case, a trivial news reading app. Bless him.

The media loves to use stories like this as propaganda. Indeed we aren't rich because we don't want and are just lazy. It's the same story here, and there is also a sudden boom in stories of "success young emigrants" making fortures working in jobs were they would only get some hundred euros here... some of those stories are proved outright lies, but who cares! We can be millionaires just by upping sticks and be semi-slaves in some human developed country like Dubai!
