Hurtling through

the IT multiverse on leading edge of a ray of light, this week Inside The Data

Cortex:

-Mark wants

to replace everyone with a robot including The Rock.

-Stephen

rejects this and believes The Rock is the biggest movie star in the world. Bothworry about Nick Nolte and Ricky Martin?!?

 -Mark’s

hero? Attila The Hun. Then he kills the vibe by deciding this week we’retalking about APIs. It is so disappointing.

-Ransomware,

Isolated Recovery Services, APIs for Services Providers, level based targeting,the stuff which will never be standardised, test automation and doubling yoursalary to slum it.

-This time

in books, Stephen wades further into the creation of the United States in RevolutionarySummer while in “The Great Crash, 1929” Mark discovers we are not stupid, justhuman. A Neal Stephenson recommendation, Asimov did it before you and in “The Priceof Prosperity” the Emperor Augustus puts a tax on the childless.
