obsoletize

To make obsolete.

To obsoletize poisoning non-smokers, Charles Knows invented a Safe Smoking Lounges (SSLs) and got permission to erect it on Coney Island Beach to see how many smokers used it voluntarily. SSL's have a solar-powered ceiling fan which blows cigarette smoke up a chimney to the atmosphere to prevent the cigarette smoke from injuring non-smokers.

financial oncologist

A lawyer, typically a bankruptcy lawyer or creditor rights lawyer or commerical type lawyer, well versed in the laws on debtor creditor- rights or the IRS collection matters, or shareholder dispute matters and who knows how to save people and businesses from financial fiasco's, after the fact. Typically viewed by his clients as a savior and by others, typcially creditors, as snakes who use their knowledge of the law to help one person screw another out of money or some other entitlement.

He employed a financial oncologist to remove those creditor claims for 30 cents on the dollar. The creditor was un happy but had no recourse at the time to otherwise accepting the offer or getting stiffed completely.

Enforced Obsolescence

A more heavy-handed version of Planned Obsolescence usually employed in the high-tech industry, especially software. Consumers of a product are forced to upgrade through some new technology rendering an old one literally unusable, usually through unnecessary incompatibility issues.

Porting a game from the 360 to the PC, rewritten to require DX10 when DX9 was used originally and clearly runs the game, can only be Enforced Obsolescence.
