This will almost certainly be the case should Silicon Valley Group be sold to the Netherland's ASML. The latter has made no secret of its desire to eliminate what is today an increasingly formidable competitor -- thanks to many tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars invested in enhancing SVG's ability to bring to market state-of-the art, high-end lithography machines used to mass-produce sophisticated microcircuitry.
Along with millions of other out-of-date and unsecured PCs strung together by the Internet--what Corman calls "the leper colony"--those machines represent a combined mass of computing power responsible for most of the Net's spam e-mails, much of its click fraud, and the vicious "denial of service" attacks that can knock sites offline and even destroy online businesses altogether.
Humans item by item will be better than a machine, but machines will be better than humans en mass.

Goodfellow's unit has so miniaturized the mass screening of such compounds that machines now replicate the countless experiments in pinhead-size droplets--1, 536 tiny wells on envelope-size plates--a process that formerly took humans untold man-hours.
In Paris in the Twentieth Century, published for the first time in 1994, Verne described fax machines, gas-powered cars and an elevated mass transit system.
Uses could range from manufacturers engaging focus groups in a much more hands-on way at an early stage of product development to mass customization or individual use of the machines.
Its clear that strength training using weight machines, free weights or resistance bands can help build and preserve muscle mass and strength.
Investing in robots can be worthwhile for mass manufacturers like carmakers, who remain the biggest users of such machines, but even in highly automated car factories people still do most of the final assembly.
He believes his animals can mass-produce drugs and highly engineered materials more cheaply and efficiently than vats and machines.
Because nobody knows what the mass of a Higgs boson might be, the particle must be hunted indirectly, typically in giant machines that propel particles to near-light speed, then smash them together and generate an array of other subatomic particles.
