I'm amazed this got covered by the Washington Post.  I'm amazed Malda
seems to not realize the seriousness of the changes and the backlash
this time.  And finally, I'm amazed he doesn't seem to understand that
part of the backlash is leftover anger from the last couple of
redesigns.

So, that answers my question.  His new baby is is that new iOS app he's
working on, and he's not paying attention.  As a retirement strategy,
that's a good one, I guess.
