How we Think & Learn: focused & diffuse modes
How Pinball Helps Explain Ways We Think and Learn @ ScienceFriday
"In the game “pinball,” a ball, which represents a thought, shoots up from the springloaded plunger to bounce randomly against rows of rubber bumpers. These two pinball machines represent focused (left) and diffuse (right) ways of thinking.
"In the game “pinball,” a ball, which represents a thought, shoots up from the springloaded plunger to bounce randomly against rows of rubber bumpers. These two pinball machines represent focused (left) and diffuse (right) ways of thinking.
- The focused approach relates to intense concentration on a specific problem or concept...
- The diffuse approach on the right often involves a big-picture perspective. This thinking mode is useful when you are learning something new.

Spark, Storm and Real Time Analytics @ InfoQ
"Big Data Analytics have been advancing in the past years as the amount of information has exploded. Hadoop is definitely the platform of choice for Big Data analysis and computation. While data Volume, Variety and Velocity increases, Hadoop as a batch processing framework cannot cope with the requirement for real time analytics."

"Gmail 5.0" vs. "Inbox"
Google's Gmail team has created alternative app for email,
and also improved "classic" Gmail app.
Inbox vs. Gmail 5.0: Which one is right for you? | Greenbot
"The new Gmail app looks better and is more capable, but it doesn't attempt to change the way you use email, like Inbox does."
"Inbox is for those who are looking for a little help getting organized. You don’t want to mess with labels, rules, folders, or stay inside your inbox any longer than needed. You want the app to do the heavy lifting"

Supercharge your IoT toolbox with MQTT and Node-RED - Simen Sommerfeldt on Vimeo @ NDC conference
"MQTT is one of the most promising technologies for extending your Information systems with IoT technology. And Node-Red is perhaps the easiest way to prototype solutions with the customer and iterate fast until you find a solution that can be implemented in a project."
MQTT is a simple (maybe too simplistic) protocol, that could be useful for IoT.
