I’m condensing the article at www.technologyreview.com here:
A team at Yahoo Research work out how to classify individuals by their email habits -- ‘day labourers’ and ‘emailaholics’. These terms represent “two distinct types of emailer.” Day Labourers tend to “send emails throught the normal working day between 0900 and 1800 but not at other times.” Emailaholics send emails “throughout the waking hours from 0900 to 0100.”
San Francisco is famous for Fleet Week. What if Fleet Week included the Star Wars Imperial machinery? After all, Lucas and the Skywalker Ranch are in the bay area...it would make sense to pay "daddy" a visit, yeah?

"We started in the main warehouse, which is half a kilometer long. Here they house the silos holding the raw plastic granulate. Through them, 60 tons of this material is processed every 24 hours."
Capturing this for use later.
