Often, America's cover is quite, well different. This week offers a stark example.Witness:Yes, what you see is TIME devoting its cover in international markets to a critical moment in Egypt's revolution perhaps the most important global story this week while offering Americans the chance to contemplate their collective navels (with a rather banal topic and supposition, to boot).This is not an isolated incident, for perusing TIME's covers reveals countless examples of the publication tempting the world with critical events, ideas or figures, while dangling before Americans the chance to indulge in trite self-absorption.Witness these stunning dichotomies: Viewing these covers, a question must be asked: do these moments of marketing (through a choice in covers) reveal more about Americans, or about the state of American journalism?I fear the answer.----------------------------------Follow me on Twitter @David_EHG---------------------------------- Author's Note: It should be noted that, in many instances, the cover story projected to international audiences is included, if buried, in the American editions. However, the point is the projection itself the marketing of a "news" magazine to its various audiences, and what that projection says (or doesn't say). By Alexis Madrigal January 18, 2008 | Sources at Google have disclosed that the humble domain, http://research.google.com, will soon provide a home for terabytes of open-source scientific datasets. The storage will be free to scientists and access to the data will be free for all. The project, known as Palimpsest and first previewed to the scientific community at the Science Foo camp at the Googleplex last August, missed its original launch date this week, but will debut soon. Building on the companys acquisition of the data visualization technology, Trendalyzer, from the oft-lauded, TED presenting Gapminder team, Google will also be offering algorithms for the examination and probing of the information. The new site will have YouTube-style annotating and commenting features. The storage would fill a major need for scientists who want to openly share their data, and would allow citizen scientists access to an unprecedented amount of data to explore. For example, two planned datasets are all 120 terabytes of Hubble Space Telescope data and the images from the Archimedes Palimpsest, the 10th century manuscript that inspired the Google dataset storage project. UPDATE (12:01pm): Attila Csordas of Pimm has a lot more details on the project, including a set of slides that Jon Trowbridge of Google gave at a presentation in Paris last year. WIREDs own Thomas Goetz also mentioned the project in his fantastic piece of freeing dark data. One major issue with sciences huge datasets is how to get them toGoogle. In this post by a SciFoo attendee over at business|bytes|genes|molecules, the collection plan was described: (Google people) are providing a 3TB drive array (Linux RAID5). The array is provided in suitcase and shipped to anyone who wants to send they data to Google. Anyone interested givesGoogle the file tree, and
