Declare all but government mandated holidays to be crunch time. Encourage all salaried employees to work those holidays and any other time they are not unconscious in microsleep shutdown with false intimation of bonus perqs tied to an impossible to achieve success bar. Include necessarily vague (to keep legal) statements at team and all-hands meetings acknowledging that those that don't live up to the highest work ethic standards of their peers will be not be moved onto teams that are "pushing the envelope of industry technology to create products for the coming decade!" and will instead support EOL products (where head count will be reduced by 95% in six months, or less). Make sure that the health plan has drug and alcohol treatment options so engineers will be encouraged to find new designer amphetamines to help meet deadlines, then tie enrollment in those treatment programs to HR so no one would actually ask for rehab time off. Oh and most importantly buy pizza at least once a week, so the employees feel that management cares about them.

Or perhaps blended with an instant coffee derivative to make a nice slurry to be drank.
If the banana was wax, you could still eat the banana, but it wouldn't have the desired effect. Though in that case I suppose, it would be a fraudulent banana.
Sure, a machine can write *one* story on a baseball game that is interesting to read. But after the hundredth version of the same story that you've read, the public would stop reading the text entirely and just filter for the important bits..
Unless the stories were written in the fashion of The Policeman's Beard Is Half Constructed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racter).
Except most companies see IT as a cost center and the way to cut costs is to cut staff then tell the users they have to take more responsibility for their environment.
Now when they mention 3% is that the same subscribers month over month using that bandwidth, or is it that at any given time 3% of the people on AT&T's network are using 40% of the bandwidth? I might be bored today and do some bandwidth heavy things, but most of the rest of the time I'm just pulling down a trickle of data.
