OT but I was watching a docu- on Goldman Sachs and found interesting parallels between the rise of the "surveillance" model in the tech sector and the financial sector. They both succeed based upon the successful monetization of customer data. That may be the content of your emails searches in Google's case or a client's trading position in Goldman's but the goal is the same.
