Sunday Globe Special: $hark Bite

"Fans of the reality TV show Shark Tank love to watch investors Mark Cuban and Daymond John make entrepreneurs sweat after they’ve delivered their pitches for money.

It is not only the facts-on-the-ground wealth inequality, it's peddled in your face by the owners of ma$$ media -- the $ame one-percent benefiting from the $tatu$ quo.

When you think about it, it is a $ituation comedy and in-your-face laugher.

Less famous are the sharks who will circle Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston Monday for an event called Pilot Shark Tank. Over the last two years, Boston has seen a surge of hackathons....

And somehow government and media rarely hit the target, probably because government and the intere$ts they $erve are the biggest hackers. Better go get your$elf $ome computer $ecurity.
