Infographic of the day: Death and Gravestone symbolism

This one is both interesting because of all the historical facts behind something that we've seen end up to be some sort of eulogy followed by an unfortunately cheesy quote of some sorts mean something on a functional level through image pragmatics. And it's funny because it was commissioned by a Life insurance company. Warming up those beds and bank accounts for you! Our infographic of the day, courtesy of Life Insurance Finder.

Infographic of the day: The History of Digital Storage

From Punch-cards to the Williams tube (0.0625kb) and from the Uniservo (128 bits) to the 5.25" floppy. I just think it's fascinating to see how digital storage has transformed over the decades, so here's our infographic of the day on that very subject, courtesy of Mashable.

Infographic of the day: Michael Bay

Lets be honest, even though the simple title "Infographic of the day" seems menial enough, the fact that the name "Michael bay" has been put just a colon and space to the right of it just makes the whole affair seem more epic.

But enough of that, we know the first thing anyone thinks about when they hear of Bay is the explosions. How many have their been in the history of his film-making career? And what is the correlation between the amount of explosions, and the amount of money his films make? These are questions that Kyle Vanhove answered in our Infographic(s) of the day.

Infographic of the day: Will your tweets get you robbed?

So we've had Twitter stories and a Tweephone; but how many potential robbers follow the likes of Twitter or Facebook to target possible houses to break into? What are the common mistakes homeowners make that lead to the easy break-in? And how many robberies are committed in the day and night?

Infographic of the day: How much money will consumers spend this Christmas?

You might have to run the numbers through Google currency; but we're in a Christmassy mood, so why not! What are people most likely going to be buying this holiday? What social networks will people research their presents by? And how much money will people spend on presents? All answered in our Infographic of the day, another one done courtesy of lab42.

Infographic of the day: How Cellphones Shape the Lives of College students

After the Halloween rant, onto something more geek-centric. How many students have smartphones? Which do they prefer out of Android or iOS? How much porn do they watch on their smartphone? All unequivocably important questions that are answered in our infographic of the day, courtesy of Hackcollege.com.

Infographic of the day: Can your job be done by a robot?

I know what you're thinking, dear reader. Is your job safe in this economy? You're not thinking about the possibly prosperous path ahead; but rather about the way back and how far away from the eventual demise you feel as if you will find yourself in. With this, New Rising Media, yet again, have got your back. Our infographic of the day, courtesy of mindflash.com.

Infographic of the day: Guide to Zombie Survival

So we've been getting into The Walking Dead alot recently, so it's only necessary that a crisis plan needs to be put in effect just in case the zombie apocalypse actually does happen. With that in mind, here's our Infographic of the day, courtesy of HCC Medical Insurance Services.

Infographic of the day: Why Hasn't the Person You Texted Responded Yet?

This one's not really informative, nor is it graphical; but it's pretty hilarious and reminds us of a situation we (and all our readers) have been in before. Come on, you're reading New Rising Media so it's clear you have a certain sense for being socially awkward and make the most subtle of what you think to be 'pop culture references,' only to have eyes of complete confusion befall you. Simply put: you must be a nerd. So we want to help with the times when you may just be having second thoughts about that last text you just sent with our Infographic of the day, courtesy of Collegehumour.

Infographic of the day: The Science of Peer Pressure

We've all been in that position as socially awkward individuals: wanting to win in the social setting by caving into what the majority think instead of sticking out like a metaphorical sore thumb. But what biological process occur to get to this decision of keeping to the codes and conventions. It turns into an infograph-ad for One block off the grid's solar energy plans; but it also pushes across the science of peer pressure in social norm marketing: breaking the pseudo-norms, being the individual or the aforementioned metaphorical sore thumb is what we like. Our infographic of the day.

Infographic of the day: The History of Beer

So after various Twitter debates and blogging I like to sit down with a Beer, and I'm pretty sure many of you do too. But what about the history of the wonderful beverage? Where did those drinks on tap and reduced in price for the masses on a student night actually originate? Find out in our Infographic of the day, courtesy of 600series design.

Infographic of the day: The Dark side of Halloween

So we've helped you out with your costume, showed you the scariest thing you could watch on the internet, and found the perfect horror film festival for Halloween; but through the 99.9% of the festivities that are clean and fun, there's been a side to the night embellished in crime and paranoia. It seems a strange thing to make an infographic about; but here's our pick of the day, courtesy of Halloween Express. Let's hope everyone has a safe Halloween.

Infographic of the day: Facebook by the numbers

You likely know that Facebook is the world’s largest social network with more than 800 million users. But what about how many people look at their ex's Facebook profiles? The amount of people that play Facebook? Or how many links about sex are shared?

Check out what makes Facebook and its users tick with our Infographic of the day. Thanks Mashable!

Infographic of the day: iPod and iTunes Timeline

It's true what is said, the transforming of data into presentation can be done to a point that it begins to look like art. This is a prime example of this. Displaying the key items in the timeline of the iPod hardware and the iTunes software which integrated with it. A clock chart iconifies all the key time landmarks, along with a few key facts about downloads and sales at the bottom. An ideal output of the numbers from the Steve Jobs era of Apple products. Thanks Filip Chudzinski!

Infographic: Awesome workplaces in Silicon Valley

So what would be the perks of landing a job at the likes of Facebook, Google, Twitter or Linkedin?

All the havoc of receiving flak about the Facebook Timeline getting you down? How about club massages? Or what about if the contradictions about Google+ make you sad? Go hit the rock-climbing wall! Or maybe even when promoted tweets start to make little-to-no sense? Why not go grab free haircuts and car washes?

And what about when you need to take time out of the busy lifestyle to eat? Since the regular cafeteria burgers is never enough, celebrate the gift of expense with the top chefs in silicon valley cooking you fine European cuisine (this is the U.S. transcript, we on the other hand fail to see the 'fine-ness' of European cooking). Along with videogames, field trips, games of baseball and ping-pong to tap off what can only be described as the perfect day of work. See our infographic of the day for more, courtesy of Resumebear.

Infographic of the day: What the tech!?

So how are people reacting to the iPhone 4S? You know, now that we've both hated and loved it, then ended in a mutual state of disdain. What people move to a DVD subscription model or the web streaming alternative? Will you buy the Kindle Fire? And if possible, would you go back to the previous Facebook layout? The results are both surprising and totally expected in our infographic of the day, courtesy of lab42.com.

Infographic of the day: Facebook FAIL

We know the routine by now: Facebook changes something, we hate it, and then we get used to it. But what about the ones that really did fail, and disappeared before long? What about the ones that were too late to actually make sense as an addition? Or the ones that were just downright retarded? Courtesy of Wordstream, our infographic of the day goes into many failed projects that you may have forgotten about: Facebook Lite, Gifts, and (God Forbid) The Facebook deals. Check it out!

Infographic of the day: The economics of social gaming

Social gaming is a phenomenon that has really come by surprise to the general public (angry birds being the perfect example), springboarding to become massive off the back of social networking. But how much is the industry worth nowadays? How much is it to buy a social game development company? And just how many people have bought virtual gifts? This is what our infographic of the day, by Mashable, answers.

Infographic of the day: Online Fundraising visualized

It's quite easy to see how much of a daunting task encouraging online participators to give charitably online is at times; but in the times when it's promoted just right, how much do people contribute? Who donates more out of Windows and Mac Users? Or maybe by choice of browser? Or by medium of communicating your message? Our infographic of the day, courtesy of Razoo.com.
