From the New York Times:

"Retailing is emerging as a real-world incubator for testing how computer firepower and smart software can be applied to social science — in this case, how variables like household economics and human behavior affect shopping."

  2. Thanks for the kind words. I have played with RapidNet and RapidAnalytics a bit, but not as much as I would like to. Hope to get a chance in the next month, and will put up some notes/videos.
