A collection of On the Media’s Breaking News Consumer’s Handbooks. Presented as a public service. Also because On the Media is great.
If you have limited time, make sure you at least read the first and the last one.

Great stuff. Worth a read.
Max Tohline, Unrealized Art Ideas, 2011-2015
As I was cleaning out an old box where I throw scraps of paper outlining stuff that I plan to work on later, I found a bunch of unrealized art ideas that I jotted down over the past few years. They range from the monumental (a plan for a Turbine Hall installation/gallery space) to the humble (food sculpting at a restaurant), from the snarky (install a water fountain in the place of a urinal in the men’s room at an art museum) to the profound (a map of a highway on a gallery floor lined with objects collected from the roadside, placed where they were found), and more. None of these will ever be made, most likely, but they at least amuse me.
I’d still love to spend a night in that 12-story bunk bed.
I would love to see all these become real.
This extravagant home has a weaponry room, a dovecote, a wizard’s tower, and an appraised value of more than $2,000 per square inch—all good hints that it’s not a traditional abode but a 9-foot-tall miniature called the Astolat Dollhouse Castle. Built by the artist Elaine Diehl around 1980 and decorated with 10,000 teeny-tiny items, the $8.5 million dollhouse is the world's most expensive and will be on display from Thursday through Dec. 8 at the Shops at Columbus Circle, in Manhattan’s Time Warner Center.
I’m absolutely entranced! So beautiful!
The company is in talks with banks about a service that would let people use their iPhones to send money to one another as easily as they send messages.
“Apple has said that it wants a bigger slice of the payments industry....Apple’s goal was “replacing the wallet.””
No surprises here. And likely they’ll do a very good job of it...
The move is the latest foray into digital mapping for Uber, which had offered to buy Nokia’s mapping business this year but lost out on the deal.
You might not think of Uber as a mapping service, but having good, accurate maps and navigation is core to its business. I think we’ll start to see Uber and similar companies making a run for the bigger mapping companies.
A new software initiative will enable Android smartphones to be used for large-scale medical research projects. Apple did that for iPhones earlier this year.
“Since Apple introduced its ResearchKit software in March, scientists at leading medical schools across the country have written apps to study asthma, Parkinson’s disease, autism, epilepsy, melanoma, breast cancer and other ailments.”
“The Apple move was a breakthrough, but a gap remained. “You can’t just do research studies on people who can afford iPhones,” said Deborah Estrin, a professor of computer science at Cornell Tech in New York.”

It’s wonderful to see technology being used in practical, helpful, healing ways like this.
Shutterstock's data team has matched pixel data with downloads to share our insights into the latest trends in color and design.
It’s interesting to see analytics trends of colors and how colors in photography trend the same as anything else.
New research suggests that employees are more innovative when they are given good benefits and perks and feel less pressure to deliver short-term results.
“"If workers feel pressure to deliver results in the short-term, either for fear of being fired or in order to be promoted, they may be less likely to pursue riskier innovations," Frick writes. "On the other hand, if failure in the short-term is acceptable or even rewarded, and if workers have a stake in the company's long-term performance, they should be more likely to innovate."”
With less access to computers and Internet connections at home, lower-income teenagers face “digital inequality,” a new study on children’s media use reports.
“In households without regular computer or Internet access, she added, some teenagers resort to doing their homework on smartphones.
“Just 51 percent of lower-income teens have their own smartphones compared to 78 percent of higher-income teens.“There’s a really big difference between trying to type an essay for school — or do research on the Internet — on a smartphone or using a computer,” Ms. Rideout, the director of VJR Consulting, a research and policy firm that works with nonprofit groups, said in a phone interview. “We need to make sure that technology does not exacerbate the disparities between the haves and the have-nots, instead of ameliorating them.””
General Assembly offers high-tech training face to face. Google and the Department of Education are paying attention.
“This is just one of a slew of big announcements this fall coming out of a peculiar, fast-growing corner of the higher education world: the coder bootcamp. This is really an entire new industry within higher ed that's grown up in about five years.”
This really shows how quickly a major industry can come completely out of nowhere in a very short period of time.
And they're putting the whole economy at risk.
A real need exists here that is waiting to be filled.
How can companies, whether established or startups, help people of all ages to have this savings cushion? Where are we falling down? Why is this happening?
I feel like this is a huge potential field just waiting for innovation.

Sometimes tiny things make a huge difference.
This is a great, small example of the value of user experience research and learning from your users.
The acquisition of King Digital Entertainment by Activision Blizzard marries a mobile gaming giant with a behemoth video game publisher.
Wow....
This really proves the value and viability of mobile gaming.

Great, simple, proven advice.

The retailing giant announced that it would give fathers up to six weeks of paternity leave and more than double maternity leave. It is also opening a small bookstore in Seattle.
Interesting decisions.
Even wildly popular companies like Amazon must continue to evolve in order to survive. This is a good example of some no-brainers (Employee perks) and a little more unconventional (a physical book store?!?) attempts to stay relevant.
T-Mobile’s CellSpot is effectively free, provided you pay a refundable $25 deposit and remember to return it at some point.
Very interesting and innovative (though a little hack-y) way to increase your reliability for customers, and maybe in a small way, to increase the network all over.
