FREE - $1.29 MP3 credit at Amazon (FB required)
20 page 8"x11" photo book and 100 prints from Snapfish (new accounts)
New customers to Snapfish can get a free 20 page 8x11 photo book and 100 free 4x6 prints.
It only applies to new Snapfish customers.
I was going to label this 'free' but you do have to pay shipping. The shipping on the photo book is about $8 and as far as I can tell the photos is about $5. So its not really free but $13 in shipping is a good price for a photo book and 100 prints.
Note the deal is only good through today.
You can get the coupon by following the link on RetailmeNot

Manufacturing by Nation for 2010
In 2010 the worlds total manufacturing output was about $12 trillion. The US and China accounted for about a 3rd of total manufacturing. Here is a pie chart showing the worlds manufacturing as split by nation. Note that China only recently passed the USA in this measure. For 110 years the US was the worlds leading manufacturer. Still our $1.8T in manufacturing output is nothing to sneeze at.
I pulled the data from United Nations site. Note that this is just manufacturing and does not include mining or agriculture. Also this doesn't show the amount of imports or exports either.
Here is the data in chart format. Figures are in billions of US dollars.
Now in table format:
| China, People's Republic of | $ 1,923 |
| United States | $ 1,856 |
| Japan | $ 1,084 |
| Germany | $ 614 |
| Italy | $ 308 |
| Brazil | $ 282 |
| Republic of Korea | $ 279 |
| France | $ 268 |
| United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland | $ 231 |
| India | $ 226 |
| Russian Federation | $ 209 |
| Mexico | $ 179 |
| Indonesia | $ 176 |
| Spain | $ 170 |
| Canada | $ 167 |
| Australia | $ 117 |
| Turkey | $ 114 |
| Thailand | $ 114 |
| Rest of World | $ 1,859 |
18 nations listed produce $100 billion or more of manufacturing and add up to about 85% of the worlds total.
