Samsung has issued a slightly vague response to that kicking it took on the BBC's Watchdog last night (above), claiming it's the "innovative and unique features" that hoover up so much of the phone's internal storage space. However, it is looking at, perhaps, optimising things to free up a few more bytes for use. Read More >>

Good news Windows Phone 8 users -- the BBC's finally released an iPlayer app for you all.

Leaving drinks are, of course, a tradition on your last day at work -- but it's advisable to start them after you're actually finished for the day. It's especially important to do so if you're the presenter of a local radio station. Read More >>
In a move suggesting there's no more serious a crime in today's society than a rich man's new toy not quite working as advertised, the BBC's investigative TV show Watchdog is planning to shame Samsung over that disparity in advertised and real-world storage space. Read More >>

It seems the MoD isn't the only publically-funded body that's good at losing things. While the military loses drones, the BBC apparently loses laptops, tablets and mobile phones; 785 of the things in fact, and in just three years too. Your Licence Fee put to good use right there. Read More >>

Apparently British society is now split into much more than just the working class, the middle class, and the toffs upper class. The BBC's Great British Class Survey reckons there's at least seven social groups, but is that a good thing? And to which one do you belong? Read More >>

So apparently Auntie Beeb is so rolling in creative dough it can afford to splash out on programming that will never actually make it to the TV airwaves. In the same vein as Netflix's House of Cards, the BBC has commissioned a series of drama short films that'll only ever see the light of day on iPlayer. Read More >>

"I think it's just a test to see how it goes. The Beeb's testing the waters of streaming only, not that it'll ever be able to go streaming only, but it..." More »
So while the rest of us were merrily tucking into our Subways (mmm, toasted turkey), a group called the "Syrian Electronic Army" has wrested control of the BBC Weather Twitter account from those fine folks at the Beeb and are merrily spamming a bizarre mixture of political commentary and camel jokes.

The BBC would like you to think that watching TV makes you happy. It's launched a Telehappiness campaign to chart the nation's viewing habits, which, if nothing else, should let us see how many trillions of hours a year are wasted staring at sad East Londoners in a pub. Read More >>
Rattlesnakes, especially the diamondback, are some of the most lethal animals in the world. They're also frighteningly cool, with that unique rattle at the end of their tails that lets you know they're there and could kill you. But how exactly do they make that distinctive rattle sound? Slow motion explains. Read More >>

Looks like the BBC wants to get in on the online-only game, and not just with catch-up content. The BBC Trust has given the go-ahead for a 12-month trial putting up to 40 hours of TV content online ahead of traditional broadcast. Feeling the pressure from Netflix, perhaps? Read More >>
