I have unshakable confidence in this.

If Microsoft programs it, it's as good as dead.

Even if all otherwise goes well, eventually the cells will burst due to failing to keep up with the increasing demand for resources.

I think we should just let the cancer be acquired by Google.

Google makes cancer worse by spotting it in early start-up stages before anyone else, but then, alas, investing in it.

This is what will happen

1. Google buys a startup that does something related to Cancer

2. Google X shows new shoes/glasses/pants that treat cancer

3. The Verges writes an article about how Google is changing the medical field.

4. MacWorld publishes an articles that argues that Apple probably already has a cancer killing device and is currently working on perfecting the user interface

5. One year passes

6. Googles kills the project

7. MacWorld publishes an article about how Google ad revenue increases due to people dieing of cancer.

8. The Verge and The Register publish the article verbatim.

9. Life goes on for everyone else

Soon we will hear people complaining that Microsoft forcefully treated their cancer by tricking them to press "Cance_" in a dialog.

Sorry, I have never seen Microsoft actually solve anything. When their products break themselves the Microsoft solution is to make them automatically repair themselves, instead of not breaking themselves.
