+  summary: |
+    > [Gunpei Yokoi, long-time Nintendo designer and producter,] said "The Nintendo
+    way of adapting technology is not to look for the state of the art but to utilize
+    mature technology that can be mass-produced cheaply." He articulated his
+    philosophy of "Lateral Thinking of Withered Technology" (枯れた技術の水平思考,
+    "Kareta Gijutsu no Suihei Shikō") (also translated as "Lateral Thinking with
+    Seasoned Technology"), in the book Yokoi Gunpei Game House. "Withered technology"
+    in this context refers to a mature technology which is cheap and well understood.
+    "Lateral thinking" refers to finding radical new ways of using such technology.
+    Yokoi held that toys and games do not necessarily require cutting-edge technology;
+    novel and fun gameplay are more important. In the interview, he suggested that
+    expensive cutting-edge technology can get in the way of developing a new product.

+
+    _Yep_. What deranged times we live in that it is routine not only for businesses
+    to launch with no plan for ever generating a sustainable income, but for those
+    businesses to rake in buckets and buckets of investment.
