Maybe consider yourself lucky that you'll be prevented from ludicrously associating your business with the word Zen although said business is, as a provider of rationalist technology, almost by definition completely at odds with the school of Buddhism by that name.

In any case, the victimized tone of the article is about as un-Zen as it gets.

Why would you say this? Gautama Buddha was a very pragmatic leader (not allowing sick and handicapped to seek refuge in his temples because this would drive away wealthy supporters), and Buddhism is still very much rooted in the present and in the actual reality when contrasted against religions that rely on some concept of "afterlife".
