Who's spending up?
Does Ford spend more on R&D than Subaru? Who spends more on research into pharmceuticals - Pfizer or Roche? Does Dell spend more than IBM? Or Toshiba? Who's big in chemicals? And telecomms? Find out by checking out the annual R&D Scorecard from Technology Review at http://www.technologyreview.com/scorecards/index.asp, which lists the world's top 150 technology companies in terms of spending on research and development. The figures are available to download as an Excel spreadsheet. More information on more companies is available at the site.

Best of the best
Compiled by a programmer at Yahoo!, the Lists of Bests gathers all those 'top 500', 'best of' lists that abound on the net. It covers books (e.g. Random House Modern Library 100 Best Books of the 20th Century: Fiction), movies (e.g. AFI's 100 Greatest American Movies of All Time) and music (e.g. Q Magazine's Greatest 100 Albums of All Time) and it's at http://www.listsofbests.com/. These could be handy fillers for newspaper spots, or column ideas. If nothing else, the lists will give you something to argue about with your friends.
