Poor Vito Stellino. The Florida Times-Union sports writer made the embarrassing everyman mistake of accidentally tweeting a porn link to xHamster.com instead of a sports article. The randy tweet stayed up for nearly an hour and gave his thousands of followers a pleasant surprise. Read More >
There are some things that shouldn't be live blogged -- deathly-dull financials from a sewage treatment company; live births, and, err, maybe brain surgery? Seems a hospital in Houston thinks that live blogging an operation on some poor chap's brain is the right thing to do, and hell, it's got me intrigued, if a little bit weirded out. It's posting videos (like the hideous one where they're drilling into the guys head above), photos and text updates live on its Twitter feed: "Stand by… first incision". Read More >
If you've ever wanted a Twitter account that has around 10 followers, a randomly generated username, and is following thousands of random people, today is your lucky day. Earlier today, an anonymous hacker dumped 55000 usernames and passwords onto Pastebin. Normally, this would be a real inconvenience — and a worrisome breach — but all the affected appear to be spambots with randomly generated passwords and email addresses. Read More >
What do you do when your favourite porn actress just won't follow you back on Twitter? After repeated begging to get some attention, you take her to court of course, because that's going to work out just great. Incredibly, that's what one incensed Chinese man did, when the star of Big Tits Zombie and Revenge: A Love Story ignored his 140-character advances. Read More >
Twitter just updated its apps for iPhone and Android. That's great news, because both were getting a bit creaky and were due for a good polish. Here's what's new in both apps: Read More >

"I'd like them to update the iPad app to have the same layout as the iPhone version. It feels old and the iPhone version shows more information too." More »
If adverts on the goggle box weren’t annoying enough for you, you can now participate in them live thanks to the magic of Twitter. Channel 4 is going to broadcast the “world premier” of the full trailer for Prometheus and then follow it up with a 40-second live advert featuring your responses on Twitter. Read More >

The hype machine behind Nike shoe releases is only rivaled by Apple product releases, which is usually a good thing! But recently, riots on shoe release days have caused The Swoosh to re-think its launch strategy. So much so that Nike has killed off midnight releases at its stores and will be using Twitter to sell its shoes. Read More >

Twitter is calling for an industry-wide armistice in the intellectual property wars. Today it announced the Innovator's Patent Agreement (IPA), a pact that it will not use employees' patents for offensive measures, but rather to protect itself when it is necessary. Read More >

Someone called Squirrel Monkey — I like him/her already — has been posting these awesome videos showing how the most popular technology would have looked in the 80s and 90s — from this Facebook instructional video to an amazing recreation of Google and Twitter in BBS mode. And Angry Birds and DrawSomething too. Read More >
The Shorty Awards are exceptionally dumb and awful. They are to deserved accolades what screwing a chicken is to losing your virginity. But this Shorty Awards promo video with Tracy Morgan is a riot. Read More >

At five years-old, it's no fun getting interrupted while you're focused on something. As a parent, I compensate for that by employing a series of intricately planned measures to guide my son from whatever he happens to be doing towards whatever it is that I want him to do instead. Read More >
