*sigh*  It used to be that companies like ATT would give their lab
divisions a nice chunk of cash and say "OK, wacky scientist types, go come
up with some cool shit and have fun."  And it was good.

Now, marketing convinces senior management to drop a metric assload of
cash into some or another engineering group (nerds they may not be) and
tells the engineers "Make our stock rise and be quick about it".  And it
sucks.  *sigh*  Once innovation became a suit-n-tie buzzword, the end was
upon us.
