Article: Inside the Mad, Mad World of TripAdvisor

Personalized (via computer algorithms) trips for people who then review out-of-the-ordinary places so others can visit. Those reviews, as the article points out, could change patterns of travel and change hospitality and customs around the world. Very interesting extrapolations -

ResearchKit did in 24 hours what would normally take 50 medical centers a year – Stanford University

9 to 5 Mac - Stanford University said that 11,000 iPhone owners signed up for a heart health study using Apple's newly-announced ResearchKit in the first 24 hours–completely unprecedented numbers.

"To get 10,000 people enrolled in a medical study normally, it would take a year and 50 medical centers around the country," said Alan Yeung, medical director of Stanford Cardiovascular Health, speaking to Bloomberg.

Gallery: 10 buildings showing the future of architecture

Shared from Zite

Not only is this really amazing, but it also made me think of how to get the kids moving and focusing on their work. And I'm going to have them help design the timing of the work so they will have more buy-in. Yay!

Gallery: 10 buildings showing the future of architecture

ideas.ted.com - We're entering a new age in architecture — one where we expect our buildings to deliver far more than just shelter. We want buildings that inspire us while helping the environment; buildings that delight our senses while serving the needs of a community; buildings made possible both by new technology and re-purposed materials. In my TED Book, The Future of Architecture in 100 Buildings, I compiled an architectural cabinet of wonders to celebrate the most innovative buildings of today and tomorrow. Here are 10 of them, including a reindeer viewing station, an inflatable concert hall and a very clever housing complex.
