Faster than a speeding bullet: The Femto camera set to transform photography [VIDEO]
In 1964 Professor Harold Edgerton took this now-famous photo of a bullet piercing an apple. He was a pioneer in stop-action photography. This photo was taken in one millionth of a second. Now, photos can be taken in one trillionth of a second. And it may revolutionise everything.
Why I love being proven wrong, well sometimes. I’ll admit it, I was wrong...
Before giving my two cents worth, I often utter: "I'm happy to be proven wrong". And, I genuinely mean it. So, with this TED video, I found the need to reassess my opinion of the ukulele. I've also found ukulele is a really weird word to type.

There’s never been a safer time to live on the planet (and here’s a...
Surprisingly frequently, I find myself making the case that there has never been a safer time to live on the planet. Sure, we're confronted daily by news of wars, murders and other forms of human-inflicted violence. But, if you refer to the stats, things are actually pretty good, as this engaging video demonstrates.

The scrollwheel: The agony of watching others browse the web

Guinness brings its marketing strategy to life
This sweeping new Guinness ad is more than just a breath of fresh air. It marks a departure from the marketing strapline "Good things come to those who wait" that those at the helm of the famous Irish stout brewer have clasped closely for the past decade. The TVC, titled "World", features the new strapline "Bring it to life", playing to the idea that Guinness looks like it comes alive when poured into a pint glass. Brilliant.

Bears! Hunters! Salty language! It’s time for another choose-your-own-adventure ad
You might recall the first interactive YouTube ad from Tipp-Ex, you know, the correcting tape that you use if you still bother to hand write.

According to the brokepacker.com founder Kevin Lippy, backpackers are only interested in three things: "Beer, sex and cheap deals." And he should know. Last month, we quoted another of Kevin's 'off-the-cuff' remarks as a Tequila Shot when he described his recent achievement moving into a youth hostel as a form of career advancement.
