I've always envisioned most tech businesses in general as an elephant standing on a board with a bunch of mice underneath it. The mice keep the elephant moving, but if the mice aren't continuously fed, they slowly die off. When enough mice die, the rest can't support the elephant and it thus squishes them. The elephant is shot shortly thereafter because it stopped moving. The mice that left sometimes come back to feed on the elephant carcass.
