Are all entrepreneurs Star Trek fans? Probably not. But many are. Why? Because Spock made it ok to be different. Nimoy's portrayal of Spock touched the...

In this video from TechCrunch, we see Kyle Russell test out the latest in cashless payments - Apple Pay. And, it looks pretty simple. Is...

Apparently, FMCG company Fantastic wanted to test how far people would go for a free box of their crackers. So, naturally, they built a machine. I don't think we have enough machines to do our bidding. This one, however, had people do its bidding.

Have you ever watched skateboarders and wondered, how did they even know that trick could be done? Rodney Mullen takes the stage at TEDxUSC to explain how context provides the opportunity to create content. It's what you already know that allows you to push beyond that, and create something new and remarkable.

Does a tight, strict deadline jump-start creativity or quash it? This video by Kreativ, a Hungarian marketing and communication magazine, takes a forceful side on the question. A group of young students is given 10 seconds to draw the face of a clock (nice subject choice, no?). The kids are then get 10 minutes to draw the same object. The difference between the results can't help but bring a smile to your face.

Many people assume that it's the extroverts that have the biggest affect on the world; not the quiet ones. But, if you're an introvert, you...

"Hauling" = videoing yourself showing off items you have just bought and posting it on YouTube for the world to see. This clip, from the Al Gore-backed Current TV, contains everything that is right and wrong with America.

The very conditions that make Asia such a disruptive market for consumer behaviour - lax copyright, fast broadband, urban youth subcultures, advanced mobile devices - are also fast becoming global trends. As the rest of the world joins the party, you can rest assured, the future of TV will not be far behind.

At Anthill HQ, we're quite partial to pinball. There's nothing quite like the sound of a pinball machine reverberating through a co-working space to make your presence felt. Ford identified a different kind pinball game. After watching Parisians attempt to reverse park without automatic parking technology, a new game was invented for its latest ad - Pinball Park.

In this typically thought provoking TED talk, architect and ecologist Mitchell Joachim shares some of his recent experiments 'growing' houses out of trees and... meat! Imagine using animal fat for insulation and "sphincter muscles for doors and windows".

The internet is littered with 'how-to' instructional videos. They're mostly created by amateur bloggers, bored teenagers or university lecturers and, therefore, are either poorly put together, incomprehensible to anyone of driving age or so obscure as to be meaningless. However, every now and then, something comes along that breaks the mould.

When a plucky young Apple fanboy asked Ballmer to sign his Macbook during a visit to Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tennessee last week, the Microsoft Motivator-in-Chief played along, even scrawling a personal note along with his name.

In what we assume is intended to become a tradition, Google has assembled its annual 'Zeitgeist' video, chronicling major global events, as seen through the eyes of Google (and YouTube). If you're able to keep your inner cynic contained, the clip is masterfully assembled, with a flair for the dramatic that would make even the most hardened movie-trailer editor shed a tear in his popcorn.

A couple messages emerge from this video, a talk by "The Book of Awesome" author Neil Pasricha at the TEDx Conference in Toronto, Canada. One is about the phenomenon is blogs-to-books. The other is about simple art of enjoying life.

This is the ad for the U.S. launch of the new Audi A3. The concept of 'virginity pledges' has been popularised, in modern times at...

Imagine being able to turn every tv screen into a wireless monitor. All it takes is a nifty little device that's all smooth and curvy. That's the promise of PLAIR.

Yesterday, the Australian Labor Party endorsed a "special election message" from Harrie, aged 11 years old. According to the Labor Party's description on YouTube: "Harrie sent this through to us and we thought it was worth sharing with everyone. Thanks Harrie." Real? Fake? Ingenious? Or cringe-worthy? That's for you to decide.

Do you have a 'pitch video', 'rave reel' or other form of digital media that you'd like us to publish? If you do, we're creating a place on our site where you can showcase the spoils of your toils to our highly entrepreneurial (and influential) community.

It's Tuesday. So far, I've been awake for 17 hours. Why? Good question. I'm so glad you asked. I'm not a natural morning person yet,...

Over the past two weeks, we have published the Sun Newspaper’s parody of the iPhone ads (and other mobile alternatives to print newspapers), Time Inc's prediction of what magazines of the future might look like and a fake (or real) leak of Apple's new Tablet Mac (aka MacTablet aka TabletMac aka iPad aka Apple Slate). But this concept piece put together by design collective BERG certainly has wow factor.
