RunPee provides full-bladdered users with several suggested movie “break” times during which not much happens plot-wise. Users start a timer as the movie starts, get told how long each interlude lasts and can access a full plot rundown of what they miss.

I used to Google hairdressers, plumbers, cafes. Now I ask my Facebook and Twitter connections who to go to, because a personal recommendation tells me a lot more than someone’s website can. SEO is doomed. In the format we know it, at least.

So you want to start a business but time and money are holding you back? Sebastien Eckersley-Maslin has set himself the challenge of launching a startup in seven days for less than $500. This is his introductory post in the series. The clock has started!

Just in case you were ever wondering how insignificant you (and the entire planet earth) really are, this mind boggling digital recreation of the 'The Known Universe' will take you from the Himalayas through our atmosphere and into the inky black of space, all the way to the afterglow of the Big Bang.

Clearly, iSnack 2.0 and Westpac's banana smoothies left a strange taste in your mouth, while Mars and the Liberal Party delivered a wrong'un with their spin. Readers who don't take the world too seriously agreed with our pre-emptive request (to not take the report too seriously), while Virgin's black email generated enough annoyance to equal the sinking of Storm. Jackson Jive shimmied in to score your number eight vote, while the social media attempts of the big brands to attract your clicks failed to inspire you (once again).

It's hard to not watch this clip with mixed feelings. I'm so happy that Dorothy Miller, an 80-year-old grandmother, has found an easy way to avoid actual conversations with her yappy daughter. But using a fax to tweet... C'mon!
