  • A comment on Conversation: Planned Obsolescence or, why light bulbs die after 1000h? Even if not official or Government regulated, exists. Should it?

    Mar 1 2011: @Petr: About the lightbulbs, I agree, and it was just an example. I mainly used it because it was that industry that started the trend, nothing else.

    What we should be looking at is the fact that many of the good and products we buy today, are made tof ail after a certain period of time. Not because they break down, but becasue they are amde to break down at that point in time/use.
    It is not only tremendously irresponsible towards resource usage, but also an unnecessary cost/burden on the household budget.

    Also, if you want a more recent example, printers with "print counting" chips, that after x prints, give a message error and stop working...

  • A comment on Conversation: What's the overlooked gem, the book I haven't read that I must?

    Feb 16 2011: One of the biggest eye-openers I ever read was "How to win friends & influence people" by Dale Carnegie.
    If you get past the title, it's a must read! Not only for the corporate environment, but useful in many aspects of life.

  • A comment on Talk: David McCandless: The beauty of data visualization

    Aug 26 2010: Great talk. Congratulations!

    Although, does anyone know which software did he use for the different infographs?
    I had a look in the previous posts but I didn't find anything.

    Actually, any suggestion of similar software would be a good starting point...

    Thanks!
