So, a stunning breakthrough in neuroscience is abandoned . .

. . because El Zuck and his minions can't see a way to milk billions out of it by next quarter.

You can be sure, however, that if ever someone else finds a way, El Zuck's lawyers will be all over it with "prior art" to suck the very life out of the project.

Down to the last penny.
