Best Infographic of 2011
Last week we presented SodaHeads with some of the most popular infographics of 2011 to give you a chance to see them all in one place and to vote on the best one. Topics ranged from the appeal of "Angry Birds" to an enlightening breakdown of Facebook demographics, and each infographic took a unique approach to their design, making for a pleasantly vibrant selection of visual information.
But only one could come out on top, and the year's most popular infographic as selected by the SodaHead community was Infographic World's "Farewell to a Genius: The Life and Times of Steve Jobs." This remarkably gorgeous timeline takes viewers from the late Apple founder's birth in 1955 through his unfortunate passing on October 5, 2011, highlighting each of Jobs' legacies, from an early Pixar investment to the revolutionary development of the iPod. If you don't have time to dig into Walter Isaacson's biography, Infographic World's entry will catch you up on the essentials.
Of course, this wouldn't be complete without depicting how SodaHeads voted on the best infographic... with an infographic! So rest your eyes and enjoy the scenery in our Best Infographic of 2011 infographic. We look forward to another year of gorgeous graphics!

Cool / Neat -- Blog: ubergizmo
Some of us might seem to be all macho on the outside, but when you mention the word “dentist”, he/she would run helter skelter in random directions. After all, there is no feeling quite as vulnerable as that of sitting on a metal chair raised from the floor, having a bright light flood your eyes will this nasty sound of the drill attempts to bore holes in your teeth to fix, well, all the cavities you’ve accumulated over the years. Perhaps there is a less torturous method to fixing your set of pearly whites? A bunch of French scientists might have just stumbled across the solution in the form of a tooth treatment gel that is said to stimulate regrowth of a natural tooth, hence doing away with drills and fillings. This gel is made up of a natural chemical that can be found in our bodies, and so far tests in mice have proved to be effective, although there are no known results of long term effects just yet. Another solution comes in the form of ‘magic fluid’ that was developed in the Leeds’ School of Chemistry, UK. This fluid holds the peptide known as P 11-4 which is also able to develop into fibers – and when the right criteria are met, this fluid will seek out decayed areas of teeth when applied, establishing scaffolds which will attract calcium – hence causing a regeneration process to grow in your teeth from the inside out.
