A demonstration of evolution (video link)

A simple idea.

Start with a straight line. Ask one person to trace it. Then ask another person to trace the traced line. Repeat 500 times.

I think apes started walking upright at line 489.

See video at Clement Valla.

Most innovative companies

Fast Company's annual list of most innovative companies just came out. The top ten:

Rank	Name	Last Year
01 /	APPLE For dominating the business landscape, in 101 ways	3
02 /	TWITTER For five years of explosive growth that have redefined communication	50
03 /	FACEBOOK For 600 million users, despite Hollywood	1
04 /	NISSAN For creating the Leaf, the first mass- market all- electric car	–
05 /	GROUPON For reinvigorating retail -- and turning down $6 billion.	–
06 /	GOOGLE For instantly upgrading the search experience	4
07 /	DAWNING INFORMATION INDUSTRY For building the world's fastest supercomputer	–
08 /	NETFLIX For streaming itself into a $9 billion powerhouse (and crushing Blockbuster)	12
09 /	ZYNGA For being the $500 million alpha dog of social gaming
10 /	EPOCRATES For giving doctors and nurses instant drug reference	–

Of the top 50, just 14 were on last year's list. Is innovation that fleeting?

Maybe they're using their iPhone to view incoming lawsuits

MegaReader offers an ebook reader with a heads-up display. Yes, that's right: it let's you read a book and drive (or walk) at the same time. http://bit.ly/fytm8b

I think I need an app that alerts me when an oncoming driver is using MegaReader.

If a tree falls in the woods....

Not sure about the marketing value, but it's a funny photo:
