I don't understand this article. I thought Wal-Mart/Sam's Club was a store, not a software/hardware development company.

Are we only a few short years away from the global corporation that owns everything including all of us?

Short answer: yes



The main characters' names are Hack Nike and Jennifer Government... because they work for Nike and the government respectively. Think about it.
