Time marches on, trampling everything underfoot...

When the "rich and famous" get too fat & happy, and stop keeping an eye on the bouncing ball, "shit happens", and then heads roll, and usually, it isn't the heads who should have got the axe. Re-phrasing that, from ancient Egypt, "Slaves may come and slaves may go, but the Pharaoh lives forever." One wonders how these magnificent mistakes can happen with wunderkinder like Sinofsky and Balmer. They weren't gods after all, as the stench proves!
