An image from space from the IMAX movie "Blue Planet".
Very effective population/technology density chart, IMO. Note how Japan is lit up like a christmas tree on crack.
The Free France Islands (Society Is., Cook Island) off of South America shine brighter than Hawaii.

I looked at it, and saw a ghost like figure. North America the hand, South the arm, Japan the other hand, Europe the head. Now I see what it is though :)

You're all wrong, you see, it's a dinosaur playing basketball in front of a water fountain with a beard sunglasses and yammka in front of a brick wall with LD sitting on a bench in the back selling chocalate in a fund raising effort of some sort, and omniously written at the bottom is the word DELMIRJ.
Everyone, get your affairs in order.

Ahhh, Australia - just like a unclean toliet, the scum is at the edges. Or population in this case. You can a dot that is Perth, a wide big nothing a a line that is the east Coast.

OMG those are nice images! Thanks for the link, Dara! :)
Notice how all of West China is...blank. 1.2 billion people and it's blank! Come on, they can't all be in the East. They must have developed some sort of transmitter which renders null any orbital sensors, like a ranged sensor jammer. Otherwise, there'd be lights.
Amazing, you can actually pick out Berlin and Moscow, even Kirov! Madrid, Paris, Rome, London, Liverpool, the Azores. Amazing.
You know what would be cool to sell is a standard globe that has a cheap, malleable LCD screen wrapped around it. A little modem would download the latest composite satellite images (you could plug it in to your network or a wall outlet to download the updates, then unhook it), which would then be displayed on the LCD. A text overlay could point out which cities were which. Off the shelf parts could be stored inside the globe, and the thing could be run by batteries.
