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: 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!

The Round-up: iPhone 4S, Windows 8, Batman and Frequency

So it's fair enough to say that the title speaks for itself as to what the top stories were.

We have our full review of the iPhone 4S (not quite the iPhone 5 we expected from giga.de).  Simply put it's everything you expected it to be, which makes it one of the best smartphones on the market.  We also put the 4S through it's Deathgrip related paces to see how it fares up, and reviewed iOS5.  But there was more: lots more.
