e.g. Microsoft is pretty much alive even though it is uncool.
Quick thought: couldn't we replace Gartner's quadrant thing with this?
I would estimate that for Facebook dAlive/dt > 0 and dCool/dt < 0
Edit: I need to make a list of which companies fall into each Quadrant - I initially thought that nobody was "cool & dead" and, after thinking about it for a bit, realised that a lot of companies fall into this area:
- Symbolics
- SGI
- Cray
- Sun (undead as part of the seriously uncool Oracle)
