This is What the United States Looks Like at Nighttime

Here’s the latest view of the United States at nighttime captured by NASA’s Suomi NPP satelliteand revealed at the American Geophysical Union conference earlier this week on Wednesday, December 5.

This is a cool and striking photo, though as nighttime satellite shots are concerned, this is still our #1.

First of 250 internet-connected touchscreens replace pay phones in New York City

Since cellphones became ubiquitous, cities have been looking for ways to give new life to underused pay phones. Today, a pilot program is beginning to test one option: replacing the phones with touchscreens that can provide information about the surrounding area. The first two screens launched around Union Square, with two more opening tomorrow. Eventually, 250 are planned for installation in the next few months, and they may start showing up in more cities if the plan is a success. The kiosks are free and ad-supported, and a portion of revenue will go back into the city coffers. But are they worth using? We took a look at one to find out.

I expect speedy vandalism, but this is a pretty solid idea.

Nielsen’s new Connected Devices study is out:

Social Media — 44% of 18-24 year olds and close to 50% of 25-34 year olds are visiting social networking sites on their smartphones during both commercials and programs while watching TV.

Seeking Information — 36% of people 35-54 and 44% of people 55-64 use their tablets to dive deeper into the TV program they are currently watching.

So the older folks are relying on search to make their experience of TV richer, while the youths are relying on each other.

According to the statistics, courtesy of the company’s upcoming ‘State of Social Media Report’, 59 percent of social media users in APAC interact with Twitter, Facebook and other services directly from a mobile device. That’s notable, not just for passing the 50 percent threshold, but also because it is 12 percent higher than the global average and approaching double the 33 percent in Europe and the US.

US Presidential Election Polls

John F. Kennedy vs. Richard Nixon

Jimmy Carter vs. Gerold Ford

George W. Bush vs. Al Gore

Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney

Binders Full of Burgers is “visualizing the US Election 2012. with burgers & fries.” Which is a clever way to trick a nation of people who are statistically fat and bad at math into looking at charts!

You’re probably late to this meme, so now’s the time to ketchup.
