“Much has changed since Google earned a reputation for fattening its staffers with food on demand. These days, the company is focused on advancing its healthy-eating initiatives. Explains Jennifer Kurkoski, who has a PhD in organizational behavior and runs a division of Google’s HR department called People Analytics, “When employees are healthy, they’re happy. When they’re happy, they’re innovative.” In pursuit of that healthiness, happiness, and innovation, Google has turned to “nudges”: simple, subtle cues that prompt people to make better decisions. Behavioral economists have shown the idea works, but Google has taken it out of the lab and into the lunchroom. This is a sampling of the encouragement you’d get during trips through the company’s eateries—and naturally, Google is measuring the results.” —In the Cafeteria, Google Gets Healthy | Fast Company

“¿Por qué pintura y no propiamente la fotografía? ¿Son pinturas que parten directamente de fotos apropiadas de la prensa? ¿Es ese detalle importante?
Como dije antes, una foto de periódico pierde muchas veces el sentido porque son formatos institucionalizados, están ideológicamente contaminados. Todos saben que en todas partes están parcializados políticamente y en fin las culturas y las ciudades son recordadas por el arte, porque el arte no es como un diario, el arte es una crónica más sofisticada de los sucesos históricos. Goya está muerto, pero de estar vivo podríamos preguntarle sobre sus pinturas sobre la Guerra. Gracias a él, nos enteramos de una manera mas didáctica – por decirlo de otra manera – de los horrores que se cometieron en esa época.”

The Real reason they repeat the same twenty songs on TV & Radio Nationwide? → trueskool.com

“232 Media execs control the information diet for 277 million Americans. That’s 1 media exec to 850,000 subscribers”

It’s easier to sell music when everybody listens to the same thing. Plus, the music they mass market is often the most catchy, general, ear-candy they can produce. The more specialized and unique, the smaller the market.
