Carrie getting some much deserved attention. "Ms. Grimes is an Internet-age statistician, one of many who are changing the image of the profession as a place for dronish number nerds. They are finding themselves increasingly in demand — and even cool. “I keep saying that the sexy job in the next 10 years will be statisticians,” said Hal Varian, chief economist at Google. “And I’m not kidding.”" - Bret Taylor from Bookmarklet

"If you've taken a special liking to a bowling pin, a telescope or a giant dog bone, then Try is the lubricating gel for you! This ambient campaign, credited to JWT Paris, consists of "Try me!" stickers that are meant to be surreptitiously slapped on large phallic objects in stores and elsewhere, implying that this is a product that over-delivers in a big way. (Perhaps to prevent lawsuits filed from emergency rooms, an asterisk leads to smaller copy recommending that you not, in fact, try any such thing.) Sure, these are probably scam ads—but hyperbole like this is a recurring theme in lubricant ads. Sometimes it's even more painful looking. See the three full ads after the jump." - Jessie from Bookmarklet

"'Don't Be Evil' Sneeze responder Paul Buchheit (John Lutz or Stanley Tucci, depending on who's funding the movie) and fellow Google employee Amit Patel (first Dileep Rao, then a succession of vaguely Indian actors as a studio experiment to see if anyone notices) try to keep the search giant from doing bad things in pursuit of short-term gains. This culture of Net Niceness is challenged by Chinese President Hu Jintao (Tony Leung or Rush Limbaugh, depending), whose censorship demands in exchange for access to the kind of big Chinese market fall into the "evil" category. A beautiful, plucky protester (Zhang Ziyi) whom they all love sways them and Google stays its course, leading to a huge, global sing-along of "Let the Sun Shine In." Meanwhile, CEO Eric Schmidt (Richard Jenkins), under the influence of Darth Sidious (also Richard Jenkins), forms a pact with Verizon that threatens net neutrality.

"Newborns need to stay warm. No longer in their mother's cocoon, they need help keeping their body temperature up during their early days of life. It sounds simple, yet for millions of infants it can be a struggle, sometimes a fatal one. Embrace, a San Francisco social enterprise born out of a Stanford design class, hopes to change the tide. Its incubator, which it plans to introduce at the beginning of next year, aims to keep babies snug at a fraction of the cost of a traditional one. Globally, more than 20 million babies are born premature or with low birth weight each year, according to the World Health Organization. Four million of them die within the first four weeks of life. "The biggest problem they face is staying warm," said Jane Chen, co-founder and CEO of Embrace. Babies born prematurely or at the low end of the weight scale don't have as much fat in their small bodies to help them stay warm. Even if it's hot outside, they're not able to absorb that heat. And if they're... more... - Anne Bouey from Bookmarklet

"In the United States, babies are placed in incubators that cost as much as $20,000 each. Even the cheapest ones, at about $1,000 to $3,000, are not an affordable option in developing countries. Instead, babies may be wrapped in blankets and placed under a lamp, an ineffective and sometimes dangerous way to keep them warm because the bulbs can shatter." - Anne Bouey

"As they did their research, including making a trip to Nepal during spring break, they saw that it wasn't just hospitals that needed affordable incubators, but also rural clinics and midwives who helped women give birth at home. Their design was simple: A cozy nylon sleeping bag swaddles the baby. Inside the back of the bag is a pouch where they insert a heating pad filled with a... more... - Anne Bouey
