Neat data visuals. Especially the networks of letter tpancisions when words change spelling, I never saw this idea expressed before. I showed this article to my friend and he got mad at me, he was always correcting poor souls on evil of eXpresso ;-)
"Inspired by the biology of a fly, with submillimeter-scale anatomy and two wafer-thin wings that flap almost invisibly, 120 times per second, the tiny device not only represents the absolute cutting edge of micromanufacturing and control systems; it is an aspiration that has impelled innovation in these fields by dozens of researchers across Harvard for years."
Well, what a about detailed study? Quoting from abstract:
"Microsoft’s continuing inability to correctly fix errors is discussed. No statistical procedure in Excel should be used until Microsoft documents that the procedure is correct; it is not safe to assume that Microsoft Excel’s statistical procedures give the correct answer. Persons who wish to conduct statistical analyses should use some other package."
The problem is that still most data is not big; even worse, big data is often either small data presented in a very sparse way (logs for instance) or is being subsetted or summarised to fit in Excel :(
