Yesterday we read about how Team America came back from a 0-7 deficit to win the America's Cup.  Here's spomething re;ated.

Read this very cool article recently from Wired magazine about sports infographics. What? 

You know that orange line that marks the line of scrimmage when you watch football on TV? It's not really there--it's an infographic. And one man was responsible for it and has made gazillions.

Now Larry Ellison, the CEO of Oracle has paid him to make a new system to highlight the America's cup.
