A great infograph that speaks a lot of truth. Courtesy of Matador Network

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) claims that SOPA and PIPA are aimed at stopping online piracy. But as this infographic demonstrates, it’s really about fighting innovation.

You already know my take on this. Any form of censorship is bad. People will always be offended by something. Heck, I'm offended by a lot of things.And many things are bad for me (from a personal point of view, obviously). Do I go around trying to interdict them just because I don't like'em? No.

I am always awestruck at how much information can be conveyed with a simple infograph. I mean, you could spend hours or more searching for the stuff you need (actually that's what the people behind infographs are doing, no doubt) or you could get it all wrapped nicely in an infograph.

The latest one I discovered is about the state of Education around the Globe. Something I was always curious about but too lazy to do the research (lack of time is also presend, but like my sensei used to say, there's no such thing as I can't do it, just I don't want to).

So, kudos to the teachers who deserve it and to all the students as well.

I’m taking advantage of The Economist‘s insight to give you this interactive map of the Euro Crisis. Maybe there are some that haven’t seen it yet.

Further analysis on my part will follow as soon as I have some time. At first sight, I can say that we shouldn’t blindly follow what statistics tell us, in some cases the situation is more dire or better than previewed.

This is a funny autogenerated infograph from @SHO meant to promote the new season from Shameless. Enjoy! You can find it here

It's been a long time since I've posted anything than an infograph or video. So that makes me pretty nervous. :) Not.

I went through this presentation made by @radian6 and loved it so I decided it needs to be shared with more people. It's filled with good advice for both social media n00bs as well as more seasoned vets. Worth taking a look!

Yeah, I know I posted a similar infograph a while back but this one is a lot more comprehensive and accurate. And the result is I'm a nerd. :)

Yeah, I know. I couldn't have come up with a better infograph. But it's not mine. I found it on Good and it was made by them and @Column Five. 

Not much to say here, surprised Romania isn't in the top. :)

Seems 2011 was a busy year. It had a promising start but then it fizzled a little by the end of summer, only to go all the way downhill in the last part. Nah, just kidding ;) It was a great year from a tech nerd's point of view.

And here are the main stories of the year.

I'm not gonna bother in writing a huge intro to this because the infograph speaks for itself.

The main stories covered by social media last year. The good, the bad, the unnecessary

Let's see who are the most innovative industries and countries in the new millenia. I mean, there won't be any surprises at the top. The most noteworthy one is the absence of China, mainly because "if focuses on the internal market at first". Oh, come on! Will they ever open themselves fully to embrace the rest of the world? The government can't keep them out of the loop like this forever. Or can it? That's for a different type of post and blog altogeher so I'll stop here.

This made me laugh so hard! Then again, it might prove to work, so my laughter could be premature :D

All I can say is, the people over @LiveScience thought about something doable with today's scientific knowledge. And the answer is the Dino-chicken! In post-modern science, chicken eats you!

Oh, you know what would be really cool? If they would use an ostrige or an emu, this way the chances of mayhem ensuig are highly increased. ;)

Look closely and you'll find an easter egg in the picture.

Hello people!

Guess this web 2.0 thing doesn't need too much time to recharge. A couple of days after Xmas and here we are back on the saddle, doing what we do best, spread information.

I'm going to let you enjoy a cool infograph made by the nice folks over @Infolinks that takes us through the history of advertising, from its humble beginning and reaching out to more modern times, like, for instance the Old Spice campaign that made Isaiah Mustafa a very known guy on the interwebs and not only.

So, ladies and gents, I'll let you savour the latest informational graphic I found.

Cheers!

Is your job killing you? Not unless you have a killer job! (sic).

You know, like dictator (2011 has been a terrible year for them) and such. ;)

But this is a good question to ask oneself. Your job might not be the main reason for your death (not all the time anyways) but it has its fair share of contribution. The important thing is to be able to distance yourself from all the petty stuff that goes on in the workplace and concentrate only on the essential.

The following infograph shows some differences between men and women and the way they are affected by their jobs.

Have fun and a safe holiday season!!!

Secular Greetings to all!

Today corporate environment is surrounded by uncertainty. Managers are feeling insecure in their positions thinking that boards will sack them if they don't deliver the expected results. And in most cases this is true. :)

So what do managers do? They are looking for ways to improve the company's budget, by cutting costs and being one step ahead of the others. But how can you do that? It's easy. You need to invest in an innovation department. A place where you can find and foster new ideas that might save you money or bring you an unexpected breakthrough that will make your company and subsequently your career leap forward.

Below you can find an interesting inforgraph that presents us some of the many ways in which you can help your company become more innovative.

Now that's the trillion dollar question! Or more. Maybe we can't even quantify it in money.

The Higgs boson, ever since its discovery by Peter Higgs, has haunted the physics world and not only, because the implications of its discovery vye from the world of physics and reach into the domain of spirituality (a favourite subject of mine). If proven to exist, the Higgs boson will confirm the big bang theory (not the famed TV series, the real thing) and therefore disprove the existence of a creator. Hence, its nickname, "the god particle". This scares the hell out of all believers. Probably others too.

Below you can find an infograph that explains in layman terms what is the Higgs boson and what does it do. Very interesting stuff, I must say. And funny. :)

Continuing with the Christmasy posts. So quick, yes, because information is spreading so fast.

This is a graph showing us the most sought after tech products since 2005 until present. Pretty interesting I have to say. Too bad they don't have the 2012 product listed as well, that way I could've prepared in time for next year's holiday shopping carnage :D

To reply to those who say I'm a curmudgeon, I've decided to get into the holiday spirit and post and infograph about Satan Santa. Sorry, couldn't help it. :)

So, hoping for snow this Christmas, I give you the Santagraphic.
