I was wondering when an infograph dedicated solely to the little green robot was going to emerge. And here it is.
Made by the people over @Xcubelabs this graph follows Android since its birth in 2003 til the latest rendition, in July. What will come next? With Google recent purchase of Motorola Mobility my guess is as good as anyone's. One thing is clear though. It made the mobile wars a heck of a lot more interesting!

The guys over at Synthesio were very nice to make this infograph and share with us the most important happening of the eG8 summit this week. Due to a busy work schedule I kinda missed them and this is really helpful. I'm sure others are in my position.
Check it out!

Earthlings will surely thrill at finding their planetary double: our calculation suggests the discovery could happen next year Read more
The New Scientist's take on next year. You'll find some interesting stuff inside, might not agree with everything, but still, interesting ideas.
This is a very interesting study done by the people over @RWW that is centered on the enterprise value, rather than on pure social media. I hope you like it.
UPDATED! Data and research: http://bit.ly/42degreesN
Ever since doing Snake Oil visualization, I’ve become a little obsessed with optimising my diet. Hey – what else is there to do on a winter evening? Strange thing. Vitamin D keeps popping up in all kinds of research. Evidence seems to be growing for its
extensivepotential role in health, cancer prevention and even mental health and mood.Deficiency may even be a contributing factor for the greater prevalence of heart disease and diabetes among African-Americans (dark-skinned peoples have much more difficulty synthesising vitamin D from sunlight). Nearly 100% African Americans could have insufficient Vitamin D, according to some studies. Nearly 1 in 3 could be severely deficient.
I got curious. And inevitably that curiosity spawned a yomming great infographic.
UPDATE: 1st Dec. The US Institute of Medicine have released an equally yomming report on Vitamin D. (Story in NY Times | Original PDF report) It does a lot of cross- and meta-analysis on the various studies out there. Some findings contradict what I’ve visualized here. So I’ve folded in the new info and adapted the visuals. You can see a detailed summary in the Change Log. The headlines are:
- Evidence for health benefits beyond bone health are “inconsistent & conflicting” – I’ve changed wording
- Blood levels that count as ‘insufficient’ vitamin D are disputed and unstandardized – I’ve added a note
- The Recommended Daily Allowance has been boosted to 600 IU, from 200 IUs – I’ve added this
Everything else seems to stand up! I’ve updated the data spreadsheet too.
(The report doesn’t mention latitudes or UVB exposure. So I’m sticking to my 2000IUs vegicaps a day during the winter)
