Zynga founder Mark Pincus returns

  "He will receive a salary of $1." I gotta say, if you're looking to cut costs, paying your CEO a buck is probably the most effective.

  For a sec, I thought it read "Zynga founder Mark Pincus commits suicide". Then I realized it says "... returns". Then I figured the headline ought to have been: "Zynga commits suicide". Facepalm

      You're missing the deeper point. This isn't simply funny. This is a summarization of what I feel will be Zynga's last miss-step. Having done and sold a social gaming startup and seen the rise/fall of the industry circa 2009, I think my comment merits introspection beyond whatever superficial connotations you're attributing to it. Thank you, too.
