I installed this for Firefox. It is amazing how much cleaner your web pages look, how much screen real estate you recover and how much faster pages load when they're not waiting for 'doubleclick' or some such content...

Great idea, great graphics and a foley artist triumph. Show me another online store that puts a smile on your face the way this one does.

I'm not normally a fan of Flash but this was all worthwhile. Turn up your sound 'cause it's all part of the fun.

It's at 2 million views in a just over a week. This reminds me of a Mike Meyers gag. If you know Mike Meyers, you know Canada. You'll know that we deeply identify with the Scots and why this is so humourous then, to me.

Profanity warning: it's Scotland, remember.

This article was fascinating. This guy is speaking for me: “I think basically the story was long and confusing, so when the chase came along it was so good it gave more substance to the movie. I think it really saved the film, because most people don’t remember the story, they remember the chase.

What I found remarkable was the supreme intensity of study the author has invested in this topic and the vigor with which it is presented. I watched 'What is Machine Learning?" at 1.2X speed and in under 7 minutes, I was impressed, intrigued and educated.

Isn't Hunch a learning machine???

This is a terrific snapshot of the world economy, the most effective data visualization I've experienced in a long time.

Big data + visualization = new insight! You'll see that here.
