  eicolab: design thinking for business innovation — Authority: 123
  I noticed today that I could often tell whether a CD jewel case is empty or not just by picking it up. A CD only weighs around 15g, against the almost 100g of a complete package with booklet. I think we often take for granted our sensitivity to subtleties in the environment around us. We do it so well we simply ...

  Make Cash Online Today — Authority: 151
  The Information Age is dead. We stand at the cusp of a new era. We used to live in the Information Age, but you know how it goes when everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

• Support for same-sex marriage by age and state

  
  Negligible Knowledge Base — Authority: 107
  The data supports the notion that younger people are more supportive of gay marriage than older people. I also think it’s interesting that, even in states that we normally consider quite hostile to gay rights (the ones at the bottom of the table), there is still a significant age difference: 18-29 year-olds in ...

  Nature's Blog — Authority: 125
