Modern automobiles are miracles of engineering refinement. Probably no other technology-related product calls from as many disciplines, has endured the same level of long-term evolution, has been actively used by more people, and has seen such steady long-term progress in capability, safety, and ef...

When companies become zombies, it’s not quite as obvious as with humans. Sure, the symptoms are similar - being dead but walking around as if still alive, no capacity for rational thought, pursuit of a single-minded hunger - all while the inside is rapidly decomposing. Oh, and then there’s the sme...
