RIP: Steve Jobs
When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will ever see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.

18 Insights From The Movie Super 8
Super 8 movie is not only train-wrecking it’s actually a ground breaking and earth shattering movie and on yeah ‘water-tank-blowing’ too. We can really learn a lots of things from this sci-fi thriller besides shooting in analog in the pre-no-youtube-no-flip-camera era.
I was simply amazed at what CGI and great imagination of J.J Abraham can achieve. The movie initially spends some time in a small Ohio town, showing two kids with no mothers and one healthy kid with overloaded family and nice looking elder sister.

Twitter, Tweets & The Stock Markets
Sentiment Analytics applied to stock analysis : Technische Universität München (TUM) – School of Management releases this study
: SSRN-Tweets and Trades: The Information Content of Stock Microblogs by Timm Sprenger, Isabell Welpe.
Abstract: Microblogging forums have become a vibrant online platform to exchange trading ideas and other stock-related information. Using methods from computational linguistics, we analyze roughly 250,000 stock-related microblogging messages, so-called tweets, on a daily basis. We find the sentiment (i.e., bullishness) of tweets to be associated with abnormal stock returns and message volume to predict next-day trading volume. In addition, we analyze the mechanism leading to efficient aggregation of information in microblogging forums. Our results demonstrate that users providing above average investment advice are retweeted (i.e., quoted) more often and have more followers, which amplifies their share of voice in microblogging forums.
