It’s interesting too that, overall, industry revenues have grown in the period - though admittedly not by much - which arguably adds strength to the notion that, when the BPI releases its annual report claiming how much ‘the music industry’ has suffered from the growth in illegal file-sharing, what it perhaps should be saying is how much the... - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...
2012: The End Of The World? | Information Is Beautiful Far too much wit, time, style, and energy went into explaining something this ridiculous. Predicting the end of the world (at a conveniently distant time) is an incredibly easy way to gain attention without actually having to do anything. So far, however, the batting average at this game is... - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...
A new decade’s breaking, and in it, people, companies, and countries will have to strategize differently. The story the macroeconomic tea leaves foretell isn’t one of power shifting from America to China or anywhere else. It is a story of global economic might everywhere wavering and falling, unable to meet the new challenges of the 21st Century,... - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...

It could be that everyone will figure out how to play nicely with each other, and we’ll see a continuation of the interoperable web model we’ve enjoyed for the past two decades. But I’m betting that things are going to get ugly. We’re heading into a war for control of the web. And in the end, it’s more than that, it’s a war against the web as an... - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...
Probably the funniest bit of commercial ingenuity I’ve seen these past few months is the growth of corpse-spam in World of Warcraft.You see, it’s quite hard, in-game, to spam people with commercial messages. If you send messages to people you get blocked and reported and your account shut down. If you just yell stuff in the city square people... - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...

The UWS Gets Its Very Own Apple Store - Gothamist
That glass roof is mindblowing. Philip Johnson was thinking way too small. - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...
It’s hard to imagine a form that could be simpler: two fields, two buttons, and one link. Yet, it turns out this form was preventing customers from purchasing products from a major e-commerce site, to the tune of $300,000,000 a year. What was even worse: the designers of the site had no clue there was even a problem. - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...
Girls - Lust For Life
Such a catchy, fun, song.
Also, feel free to check out the XXX edit of the video. Includes a lot more breasts + a dude using another dude’s penis as a microphone. - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...
The front of 826 NYC, a children’s learning center. What a terrific way to make a non-profit organization fun, and dodge city zoning ordinances.
I wonder what their revenue is on super hero supplies. I bet that stuff sells. - http://neekolas.tumblr.com/post...
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - 40 Day Dream
