From Billiards Tables To Briefing Rooms Designed Like Underground Tunnels: Google Campuses Around The World

0

The Zurich office briefing room is designed like a tunnel.

Google doesn't hold back when it comes to designing its campuses.

And while the search giant's Mountain View, California campus receives lots of attention — it was featured in "The Internship"— there's plenty more to see outside California.

From Toronto, Canada to Zurich, Switzerland, Google's flair for build ling the coolest offices doesn't let up.

And at the same time, each office has a slightly different feel.

The black lights of Toronto's music room cast a futuristic glow on its DJ turntables, while Google's Paris, France office looks more like a cozy drive-in theater with its classic Citroen 2CV car parked in front of a flatscreen television.

At the very least, Google certainly seems to steer clear of "ordinary" offices, and we can't complain. 

Elmo, an employee's dog, is dwarfed by the "Top Secret" slogan plastered across Google's Zurich, Switzerland office. Your guess is as good as ours.

When Zack Snyder set out to make "Man of Steel" he wanted to make it as realistic as possible.

To accomplish that, Snyder set out to use practical locations for filming and also used a handheld camera to deliver a "gritty, embedded journalistic documentary style."

While a lot of the film takes place in Clark Kent's hometown of Smallville, Kansas; however, no filming occurred in America's heartland.

Rather, most of the production took place in Illinois.

If you haven't seen the film, there are some mini spoilers.

Early film sequences were filmed on Vancouver Island.

These Crazy Photos Show Why You Should Go To Saturday's Mermaid Parade At Coney Island

The 31st Annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade will kick off at 1 PM on Saturday with more nipple tassels, body paint, and elaborate mermaid tails than ever. 

This year's parade was in jeopardy after damage costs from Superstorm Sandy left organizers scrambling for parade funds, but a successful Kickstarter campaign raised $115,000 for the show to go on.

The ocean-themed celebration is the largest art parade in the world, with thousands of participants flocking to Brooklyn each year to march through the streets in their finest and most scandalous Mermaid attire. This year parade organizers expect more than 750,000 spectators — record numbers — to line the parade route.

Rock musician David Byrne leads the 1998 Mermaid Parade as "King Neptune." Each year parade organizers choose a King Neptune and Queen Mermaid to lead the march.

What Our World Would Look Like Without Honeybees

0

Dead almond treesA world without honeybees would also mean a world without fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds

Nearly one-third of the world's crops are dependent on honeybees for pollination, but over the last decade the black-and-yellow insects have been dying at unprecedented rates both in the United States and abroad.

[Jump straight to the photos]  

Pesticides, disease, parasites, poor weather, and the stress of being trucked from orchard-to-orchard to pollinate different crops all play a role in the decline of managed honeybee populations. A lack of bees threatens farmers who depend on these nectar- and pollen-eating animals for their pollination services.

We have few planned defenses against a honeybee disaster. The Farm Bill, passed on June 10, 2013, allocates less than $2 million a year in emergency assistance to honeybees. 

"The bottom line is, if something is not done to improve honeybee health, then most of the interesting food we eat is going to be unavailable," warns Carlen Jupe, secretary and treasurer for the California State Beekeepers Association.

Honeybees as a species are not in danger of extinction, but their ability to support the industry of commercial pollination, and by extension, a large portion of our food supply, is in serious danger.

Whole Foods recently imagined what our grocery store would like in a world without bees by removing more than half of the market's produce. Here, we also take a purely hypothetical look at how the human diet and lifestyle would change if honeybees and other bee pollinators disappeared from our planet one day. This is the worst case scenario — it's possible that human ingenuity and alternate pollinators can mitigate some of these outcomes, but not necessarily all of them.

If bees die, beekeepers who make their living by managing bee colonies will go out of business.



Without commercial beekeepers, farmers will not be able to scrape together enough bees to pollinate their fields.



If the farmer does not provide fields or orchards with enough honeybees for pollination, the whole harvest can fail.

Facebook is becoming notorious for copying features from popular apps and services.

The social networking giant ripped off Foursquare with its launch of Facebook Places, copied self-destructing photo and video app Snapchat with Facebook Poke, and just recently copied Twitter's Vine by integrating video into Instagram.

Facebook, just a couple of years older than Twitter, seems to get a lot of inspiration from its younger social networking competitor.

AppNexus

One New York tech company that's getting a lot of buzz right now is AppNexus, the online ad platform based in the flatiron district. In January, AppNexus raised a whopping $75 million from Technology Crossover Ventures. Since then it has been on a huge hiring spree, prompting speculation of an IPO in the near future.

In fact, the company is already outgrowing its over 100,500 sq. ft. of office space in what used to be 50 Cent's old recording studio on 23rd Street. 

We recently stopped by for a tour of the space, to see what life is like working at one of Silicon Alley's most talked about companies.

The entrance is striking, decorated with the signature AppNexus orange and black colors.



The space is massive. The company has two floors, totaling 100,500 square feet. They are in the process of expanding to 200,000 square feet.

And while the city has plenty to offer all kinds of travelers, it can be tough for business travelers to find some time to enjoy the city’s many perks.

Fortunately, we’ve gone through our database and have found the top business hotels that are perfect for mixing business and pleasure.

If you’re using the company card, you might as well eat well! And nothing impresses clients like a delicious meal. For food fanatics traveling on business, we recommend the luxurious St. Regis.

With a prime location on the border of the Financial District, 15,000 square feet of meeting space, and rooms with daily newspaper delivery, large flat-screen TVs, and writing desks, it's a great pick for business travelers. You can even stay up-to-date in the bathroom, where small flat-screen TVs are attached to the mirrors.

And you can enjoy your downtime with some delicious grub; the hotel is home to Ame, a renowned restaurant from Hiro Sone and Lissa Doumani, that has been awarded Michelin stars the last five years. 24-hour room service is also available.

The regal old Fairmont has hosted an impressive list of U.S. presidents, international royalty, heads of state, and A-list celebrities.

The roster of celebrity guests includes greats such as Fred Astaire, James Brown, and Ernest Hemingway, plus Hollywood stars of today including David Duchovny, Harrison Ford, Uma Thurman, Courtney Cox, Katie Holmes, and Mischa Barton.

President Barack Obama has been a guest here as well, as has Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and JFK, so you know there has to be some nice business perks at this luxurious hotel, too (after all, the Charter for the United Nations was drafted here in 1945).

Rooms feature spacious work desks, the business center operates 24/7, and the hotel staff is at guests’ beck and call.

This skyscraper in the Financial District attracts both business and leisure travelers with a long list of amenities: 5,000 square feet of meeting space, a 24-hour business center, a beautiful spa, a well-equipped fitness center with headphones, fresh fruit, and bottled water, and a tasty restaurant and bar.

Gay Head Lighthouse

The National Trust for Historic Preservation has just released its 2013 list of the most endangered historic places in the U.S.

The sites on the list range from Houston's Astrodome to a New England lighthouse to a tiny church in Maine that was once a stop on the Underground Railroad—and all of these places are in danger of somehow being compromised or destroyed.

Many of the buildings are of great cultural value, but without changes to public policy and adequate funding, these national treasures could quickly disappear.

An electric company is proposing to erect an 8-mile-long transmission line which could potentially include 17 towers and would ruin the historic area's landscape.



THE ASTRODOME, HOUSTON, TEXAS: Opened in 1965 and touted as the "eighth wonder of the world," the Houston Astrodome was the world's first domed multi-purpose stadium. Closed since 2008, the stadium faces demolition if it cannot be suitably repurposed.

All Of The 'Mad Men' Conspiracy Theories You Need To Know Before Tonight's Finale

0

don draper mad men jon hamm

Is Don an alien? Is Joan a wizard? Is baby Gene a Russian spy who will one day grow up and be your father? According to the internet: Yes. "Mad Men" conspiracy theories are our guiltiest Monday morning pleasure, and after this Sunday's season finale we'll be stuck waiting months for the next crop (or will we?! See: conspiracy #467). After the media exploded with suspicions about a Megan Draper/Sharon Tate connection, we decided to dive all the way down the rabbit hole and see what other interesting theories we could come up with. It was quite a trip. 

Some of these notions have roots in reality, and many took us back to our film school days of picking apart the mise en scène to determine a character's fate. And some of them are just bonkers. Either way, we whittled down the hundreds (probably more, we're still digging around down here) to the best and craziest "Mad Men" conspiracy theories out there.There are no spoilers here, unless these bloggers, journalists, and redditors are right. In which case — watch out, Pete Campbell. You're about to be eaten by a bear.

Megan Draper = Sharon Tate Because Of This T-Shirt

Aforementioned internet explosion occurred after Jessica Pare appeared in this top during the last scene of this season's ninth episode. Sharon Tate wore the top in a famous 1967 Esquire shoot, so naturally, we assumed Megan would soon be preggers and/or dead. According to Matthew Weiner and Janie Bryant, it was actually just about some boring argument they had over whether or not women wore T-shirts in the 60s. OR WAS IT, WEINER?





No Wait, Megan's Been Dead The WHOLE TIME

A smaller (but no less vocal) group of conspiracists insist that Megan has been dead this entire season. It's something to do with the fact that she appeared in Don's stoner fantasy out in L.A.. We don't get it, but we liked her headband. 



Betty Is Going To Die Because We Hate Her

Some speculate the whole Megan-will-die theory is just a red herring, and really it's the former Mrs. Draper who's about to bite the dust. Fine, by us. Can Sally kill her?

Gorgeous Pictures Of Supermoon 2013

Supermoon

On Sunday, June 23, a supermoon lit up the night sky. 

A supermoon occurs when a full moon gets closest to the Earth during its orbit. 

There are several supermoons each year, but the latest supermoon is the biggest and brightest of 2013. It marks the closest encounter between the Earth and moon until August 2014.

The June supermoon was 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon is, says NASA.

Here's what the giant, glowing moon looked like in pictures from around the world. 

If you snapped photos of the supermoon, send them to dspector@businessinsider.com and we'll share them here.

10 Awesome Tiki Bars From Around The World

tiki bar, tropical, drinkingThese world-renowned tiki bars are sure to please those who enjoy the luxury of a tropical paradise yet happen to be sojourning in a large city.

While some are known for their large punch bowls or particularly convincing theme, others are notorious for their own unique flair.

One thing is certain; each venue is guaranteed to have a vibrant upbeat atmosphere, fruity cocktails galore, and serve as a much-needed escape from the daily hustle and bustle of metropolitan life.

This story was originally published by Party Earth.

Trad’r Sam: San Francisco

6150 Geary Boulevard
San Francisco, CA 94121

With its fun-loving yet versatile crowd and heavily decorated bar area, San Francisco’s Trad’r Sam’s easily nabs the first spot on the list. Aptly named frozen drinks here include the Scorpion Bowl and the Zombie.



Palm Beach: Berlin

Grünberger Strasse 55
10245 Berlin

The considerably more laid back Palm Beach boasts not one but four locations in Berlin, so visitors will certainly find this beach-like tiki tavern hard to miss.



The Shoreditch: London

145 Shoreditch High Street
London E1 6JE

While tiki bars in London may not seem hard to come by (in fact, there is one other London-based hotspot on this list), The Shoreditch is a trendy paradise of its own and easily steals 3rd place.  This venue is unlike any other in that it consists of two very distinct levels and has chosen a decidedly kitschy theme; newcomers will be surprised, in the best possible way of course, to see pink flamingos paired with vintage paintings and saloon style mirrors.

12 Common Mistakes Startups Make In Their First Year

0
0

working, alone, solitary, loner, work, focus, driven, aol ventures, qlabs, q-labs, q lab, feb 2012, bi, dng

When you write and read about startups all day long, you see founders make a lot of mistakes.

As an observer of and dabbler in startups, I've kept track of all the things I'd try to avoid as an entrepreneur.

Here are the most common mistakes early stage startups and new founders make.

Getting press too early or just because.

If you're a startup looking for press, the first question you need to ask yourself is "Why?"

Why do you need press? Are you really ready for press? What will an article help you achieve?

If you want press to make yourself look cooler to friends or employees, you probably shouldn't be seeking it. If you're doing it to gain users, the bump will likely be temporary. Just look at Turntable.fm, Airtime or Brewster.

In some cases, press can be good. It can attract investors if you're seeking financing. An article in Ad Age could attract advertising dollars.

But if you haven't nailed your business model or product (and chances are in the first year you haven't done either of those things), do you really want your name out there only to fail a year later? That'd be more embarrassing than never having press in the first place.



Raising too much money too early.

Bootstrapping a startup is scary. No one likes seeing their savings dwindle away. But when you rely on outside investors to take all the risk, it can make founders frivolous with their spending. It also can dilute them so a future exit becomes much less rewarding.

If you pursue a startup on your own first, you can work on proving the business model and gaining traction without the pressure of board meetings or investors looming over your head. Once you are self sustaining, you can secure better terms from investors. And, if no one outside is controlling your company, you can exit whenever you want and never worry that someone else with a vested interest in your startup will fire you.

If you don't have at least $50,000 saved up and you're not at a stage in life where you're able to take a risk, you shouldn't be doing a startup.



Trying to do a startup alone.

Startups are stressful and no one is good at everything. To avoid burn out, you need a co-founder and/or advisors to split the work load and confide in. You'll also be more productive with other people helping you, plus there will be more money to bootstrap with.

Startups take up a lot of time, so it's normal to feel chained to your desk. But you need to interact with people and take productive meetings to move your business forward. No one can do a startup alone.

These 9 Tech Companies Used Statistical Gymnastics To Make Eye-Popping Claims (HPQ, AAPL, MSFT, CSCO, SAP, ORCL)

0
0

steve ballmer microsoft

Tech industry execs sometime make claims that leave people saying, wait, what did he/she just say? 

The claims are usually about sales figures, or the pace of sales, or the power of a particular tech or product that is changing an industry. 

We're not saying there's anything wrong with this—after all, it's tech execs'  job to pump up products and get people excited about them. 

However, there  are cases where execs creatively interpret stats to make a point. Or, take data out of context to make it seem more impressive. 

While the execs' statements are technically true, they're not always accurate depictions of what's really happening.

We're not saying anyone's fibbing, but there's no denying that execs sometimes treat data like Silly Putty, molding and shaping it to fit whatever narrative it is that they're pushing. 

Microsoft: The "New Office" has sold one copy every second

Kurt DelBene, president of the Microsoft Office Division, told a gathering of some 16,ooo Microsoft partners that 1 billion people were using Office around the world.

A big part of that, he said, was the positive reception to Office 2010. 

How positive? DelBene said someone in the world buys a copy of Office 2010 every second

Now, we're not saying this isn't true. But this does create the impression of a feeding frenzy of interest in Office 2010, with people camped out around Microsoft stores clamoring for a chance to get their hands on it. 

The reality is, a great deal of Microsoft's Office sales are to enterprises that buy it as part of "volume licensing" contracts. With these, enterprises pay a lump sum up front and get everything Microsoft releases over the term of the contract. 



HP: Our website gets 9 Billion hits per month

HP CEO Meg Whitman dropped a stunning stat into her keynote speech in early June at Discover, the company's customer conference. 

HP.com is getting 300 million hits per day, Whitman said. 

That's 9 billion hits per month.

That's a truly mind boggling number. But on closer inspection, it's not as huge a figure as it sounds.

Thing is, no one uses hits anymore when talking about web traffic. That's because "hits" is an outdated metric that includes all the images and other files served up in a webpage.

A single webpage can generate hundreds of hits.

So, we're not taking anything away from HP—it's still getting a ton of traffic to its website. But pageviews and unique visitors are a much more relevant way to measure web traffic. 

HP.com serves around 11 million people per month, according to analytics firm Quantcast.





Oracle claims exadata database machine is 20 times faster than IBM systems

Last July, Oracle got some heat from the National Advertising Division after running ads that suggested its Exadata database hardware was 20 times faster than IBM's power system servers. 

IBM complained to the NAD that Oracle was implying that all of its Exadata products were faster than all its Power systems.

IBM said Oracle didn't provide evidence for its claims, other that saying in an ad that a "Giant European Retailer" switched from IBM to Oracle and found it 20 times faster. 

The NDA sided with IBM, and Oracle stopped running the ad, though it did appeal.
