Mirador

As seen on FlowingData and copied straight from their website: Mirador is a tool for visual exploration of complex data sets which enables users to infer new hypotheses from the data and discover correlation patterns. This reminds me a bit of a brilliant piece of software called TableCurve that I used ca. 1996 to quantify streamflow rating curves.

Sounds intriguing, but scientific purists will object: you don't poke around in data for any correlations to later explain...you are supposed to collect data to test a hypothesis!
