January 18th, 2011 by Ram Ganeshan I recently flew Southwest from Baltimore to LaGuardia to meet up with a few friends in Queens, NY (the little less than the $100 for a one-way fare was cheaper, and the 40-minute flight faster than the Acela).
The flight was barely half full. I was convinced Southwest was losing money on this flight especially with the cabin seemingly full of tourists likely paying “web only” $100 fares like myself. Really? How much does it cost the world’s major airlines to fly a passenger a mile? A little primer on airline economics. Available Seat Miles (ASM): It is simply the number of seats multiplied by the distance they travel.
Revenue Passenger Miles (RPM): It is the number of passengers multiplied by the distance. Load Factor: It is the ratio of RPM to ASM – on average tells you how “full” the planes are. Airlines typically report these operating numbers on a yearly basis. …more text after the graphic Surprise! Filling the gap Notes: 1. 2. 3.

The mobiThinking compendium of mobile statistics and research The stats, all the stats and nothing but the stats… In the past three years, we have gone from a smattering of mobile statistics to an abundance of useful information.
But there's still a long way to go, there are still huge gaps in our knowledge, some countries enjoy a proliferation of data sources, while others have little or none; and the quality of statistics varies incredibly. As telecoms regulators and industry associations start to collect and share meaningful data, things will only get better. An unfortunate side effect of the media’s recent surge of enthusiasm for mobile in the past year is a tendency to highlight data of dubious quality (often when better is available), and/or widespread misunderstanding, misreporting and failure to qualify figures they have cherry-picked.
This isn't just misleading and confusing, it's damaging. Finding your way around the mobile stats compendium: Section B: Mobile Web; 3G Don’t miss: Blogography. Andy Budd has been blogging about design and technology since 2003.

Photographer Jeffrey Martin has created an impressive 360-degree, 10-gigapixel panorama of the Wembley Stadium in London.
The photo, taken at the the FA Cup Final between Manchester City and Stoke City on May 14, was created from almost 1,000 individual high resolution photos, which makes it the largest 360-degree sports panorama ever created. The Wembley 360 project is now attempting to stitch and fine tune the entire panorama in just 24 hours, inviting football fans who were at the game (or know someone who was at the game) to tag the individuals in the audience through Facebook.
At the time of this writing, the panorama is tagged with more than 17,300 individual tags. To create the photo, Martin used a digital SLR and a zoom lens mounted on a robotic tripod head that turned and snapped the photos continuously until it captured the entire space inside the stadium.
