'stayin alive, stayin alive'? They've done surprisingly well transitioning to mobile & promoted their android guy to CEO, but haven't been able to diversify revenue away from ads. And people are starting to hate ads.

They fired their android guy. They gave android to their chrome guy and made him the CEO.
