Data Matters: Data Proves New York City Cabs Do Disappear at 4 P.M.

I love data. It helps us in life from the most complex business / technology problem, down to everyday issues that affects everyone. Here, NYC is seeing the effect of having realtime GPS data from all of their cabs. Now that they have the data at their fingertips, they have moved from data gatherers (expensive, slow, inaccurate) to data analyzers (use the human mind, exciting, innovative!). Now they can fix this problem easily that most people knew was in fact a problem, but could not be addressed before. Data is powerful... when understood and analyzed right.
