Ellison, Page and Gates sit talking about who is the hardest.
Ellison says he can make the world less capable to store its data
Page says he can make search and access to the world's data harder, if not
virtually impossible
Gates says he can lock the world's data and be the sole owner of the key
(DRM, no standards). Morever, he can leave gaps for data to be stolen,
erased and for its owners to become victims of spam and zombie attacks
(noise, not data).
Bill Gates: hard s**t.
Best wishes,
Roy
