Because Twitter wants to force lightning to strike twice with self-imposed limitations on communication, Vine has been awkwardly limited to 6 seconds of video. But what does that 6 seconds mean? Could Vine promote Vine in 6 seconds? Could you even explain what Vine is in 6 seconds? Is 6 seconds longer or shorter than you think? Read More >>
UK site Picksum Ipsum has one job to do. Generate dummy copy for populating page layouts. It does so in the style of the Hollywood star of your choice, compiling quotes from Jim Carrey, Micheal Caine, Clint Eastwood and more. Read More >>
There's a tedious balance between using apps on your smartphone or just using the browser. Sometimes like in the case of Google Maps or The Weather Channel, apps are better. Other times when you're just dropping quickly into an online dictionary or a silly link, you just want to use the browser. The problem with that though is those stupid websites stupidly bombard you with stupid notifications to download their stupid bloody app! Read More >>

When you're a billionaire who owns a Formula 1 team, what do you put up as collateral in a bet with rival F1 team and airline-owning billionaires? Why, your dignity of course. This is what happens when you lose a bet over whose team is better. Read More >>
One of the many unbearable things about the internet is how we use certain words and phrases until they are completely void of any meaning at all. And, because it's the internet, the most insufferable trends stick around long after they're welcome. Read More >>
By now we're mostly used to Facebook moving the furniture around every once in a while. We complain for a while, then just deal with it. But in a way, it's still maddening. Your stuff was HERE and now it's HERE. (Right, right, glass houses.) But at least Facebook can't barge in and rearrange your real life. That would be terrible. [YouTube] Read More >>
If Microsoft doesn't relent and Sony backtracks, going ahead with its anti-piracy and used-game-blocking plan, this is what the world would be like. The always-on DRM war that'll kill us all. Read More >>
It's been a tough week for The Onion— it was hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army — but it really knocked this one home. Fart Scroll. Code to make your website fart. Read More >>
Before I go off calling everyone who has read receipts on but still doesn't reply in a timely matter rude arseholes, please note that I am one of them. But still! I hear it's verrry annoying for other people to see some messages be read (and for Facebook, it pretty much has to be that way) and quickly replied to while others just toil in obscurity. What is up with that? Read More >>
Old Spock versus new Spock. Nimoy versus Quinto. Yep, Audi knows what it's doing. And even if it's super cheesy, ending with Audi's automated racing car is just brilliant. Hell, I can't even remember what was being advertised it's that good. Read More >>
Trolls are the worst, but funny trolls are shake-your-head enjoyable. You can't help but appreciate their mastery of their craft. Textastrophe is the perfect example of that. He texts people who leave their numbers in public and weaves an epic conversation that makes clowns, bouncy castle renters, movers and other poor innocent bystanders regret ever putting their number out.

Google Glass is weird. It's not quite like anything we've seen before. It's the best. It's the worst. It's polarising. This picture of a Google Glass-wearing tube-rider showed up on Twitter yesterday, and sparked a Buzzfeed article that posits Glass will just bring on more of the distraction it claims to alleviate.

With some characteristically sharp little jabs, The Onion makes it clear exactly how much all your online friends are worth with this great little clip. And still, I have to admit I'm a little jealous of Wasserman's follower count. I mean, damn. Read More >>
When you get in a new relationship, things start out amazing. You discover new things together. You expand your horizons. You spend as much time as you can together. You love to hold them. It's all very exciting! But am I talking about a new relationship with a person... or a phone? Read More >>
