Vintage Mugshots from the 1920s
Believe it or not, these fascinating, really kind of artistic photographs are actually mugshots (back when they took a picture of more than your mug) from the 1920s. Even criminals were dapper back then. The photos come from the Sydney Justice and Police Museum, and some include descriptions of the crooks’ crimes, such as “hotel barber, meaning one who books into a hotel, boarding house or...
Huh? Physicists create light out of nothing
Researchers including Professor Tim Duty from the University of New South Wales in Sydney, used a strange phenomenon called the dynamical Casimir effect to force a mirror to make its own light rather than simply reflecting the light around it. via abc.net.au

I FIRST heard of Amazon’s new “promotion” from my bookseller daughter, Emily, in an e-mail with the subject line “Can You Hear Me Screaming in Brooklyn?” According to a link Emily supplied, Amazon was encouraging customers to go into brick-and-mortar bookstores on Saturday, and use its price-check app (which allows shoppers in physical stores to see, by scanning a bar code, if they can get a...

Tesler’s Law | Programmer's Paradox
If a million users each waste a minute a day dealing with complexity that an engineer could have eliminated in a week by making the software a little more complex, you are penalizing the user to make the engineer’s job easier. Whose time is more important to the success of your business? For mass market software, unless you have a sustainable monopoly position, the customer’s time has to be...

We Can All Become Job Creators
This is important stuff. It’s innovation… from a big corporation… that will do well by doing good. Good work, Mr. Schultz. Starbucks is going to create a mechanism that will allow us citizens to do what the government and the banks won’t: lend money to small businesses. This mechanism is scheduled to be rolled out on Nov. 1.via nytimes.com

The Second Economy
Think of it this way. With the coming of the Industrial Revolution—roughly from the 1760s, when Watt’s steam engine appeared, through around 1850 and beyond—the economy developed a muscular system in the form of machine power. Now it is developing a neural system. via mckinseyquarterly.com

Users Are the New Growth Engine
try a simple test: put on your user hat and spend five minutes using Google, Facebook, Netflix, or any other website you love. Now go to your own company’s website. If you can’t see equal value in it, there’s a competitor waiting to steal your users. Now imagine the business you can win if every prospect loves interacting with you online as much as they love buying from Amazon....

We need teams; micro-agencies within agencies; small groups of dedicated individuals with, at their core, someone to lead/inspire, someone to design and someone to build. A team should be able to claim an idea and turn it around, quickly. They need to be self-sufficient and shit-hot. via madebymany.com
