2011 was severely lacking in many respects. A few highlights elevated by vast stretches of nothing. Perfect for the year before the end of the world right?

You know when they replaced all the factory workers with robots and till clerks with self-check out counters? Here's an industry with labor that could -easily- be replaced by software: the financial industry. $200k university fees to study maths and economics be damned, their job could be done better by a 5kb software program.
