| Big Data: A Closer Look with Guavus |
| The first hard drive my family owned had less memory capacity than my latest smartphone, cost more, and used much more power. Today, hard drives are huge, cheap and plentiful, but fundamentally the financial data I stored in 1990 is just as valuable as the data I just backed up on my Google Drive.

| Letter from the Editor: September 2015 |
| "Information is Not knowledge. Knowledge is Not wisdom." This quote - or at least the first part - is frequently attributed to Albert Einstein.
