The latest contestant in this search for the best visualization
designer (or should I say, the next employee?) is Google, who,
together with Eyebeam, just announced their profound interest in both
federal tax numbers as well as interactive bubble graphs

But I found another site – TV Gorge – that has even more shows, although I can’t figure out how it’s legit.

That’s great if you have an iPhone, but if you don’t there might be a way to get it anyway. Lifehacker had a good post (via Gizmodo) on how to trick the wifi into thinking you were using an iPhone. It doesn’t seem too complicated, but I haven’t tried it yet.
