  • Farm Fetish
There are four times as many Americans living in urban than rural areas. There are four times as many people sucking back coffee in New York city alone than make a living farming. According to the Burea of Labor, there are just as many people employed in Architecture and Engineering as farming, hell, 3 million people working in Computer and Mathematical jobs.

  • In the web office market, Google docs and Google spreadsheets hold a market share of 92%. The report calls these "online collaborative productivity tools". Interesting segmentation.
