Rise of the Machines

Machines are taking over more and more financial transactions. Meaning that the cut-throat world of finance is now being measured more and more by the nano-second. Interesting also to read the reader comments. Including one guy who asks if America will become the first genuine communist society on earth. Something which reminds me of a piece I read about communism in modern America, where they talked to a commie who suggested that Sarah Palin was the most socialist of the mainstream political candidates. Sorry, I meant to write lamestream. But of course!
