Labelling

In the section "Data value is still ‘underexploited’", should the label for the lower graph not read 'UNstructured data'?

Windows apps prototyped on the Mac?

Surely not!

If memory serves, Excel was originally written for the Mac and only later was made available for Windows.

Kind of annoying really, given that these days you have to wait ages for new Mac versions of Office, and then they don't always include all the features of the Windows version...

The rear brake is operated by the right foot and one would normally use it, surely he'd have noticed he wasn't slowing down as fast as normal?

Bizarre as it might seem, the audio quality was astonishingly good.
