...alumni tailgate area and at the end of the field, where empty vodka bottles littered the tables sponsored by final clubs. As Harvard’s football team crushed Yale, 37-6, outside the Yale Bowl a general sense of confusion was amplified by the failure of cell phone service. Attendance for the Game reached 57,248—over 4,000 people more than two years ago—according to the Harvard Athletic Department. “From what I’ve seen—and the alcohol I’ve drunk—it?...
When clustering does work, though, it's gold. Consider Yokkaichi, Japan, a city of 300,000 people that is the premier place to make NAND flash memory, which is used in cell phones and MP3 players.

And the only language required is intuition...

The issue is especially prevalent among younger demographics who hardly need another gadget. When you already have to worry about two cell phones, a Blackberry, and an iPod, who’s really going to give their pager throwback any attention?But in the end, the biggest problem for radio when it comes to counting people is getting numbers that actually matter. PPMs may provide an accurate description of what a listener?...
