Who holds the copyright to a picture taken by a monkey?
[BoingBoing]
An interest question! In the world we live in, which is ever obsessed with ideas of copyright, its an interesting debate.
And of course, its a brilliant photo :-)

White space showing up on right side of page (Apple iPhone Safari)
If you make web pages and find that Safari on the i[Phone|Pad] adds a load of white space to the right hand side of your pages, you might want to read this answer to a question posted on StackOverflow. It worked for me.
PS: Apple, I hate you. Stop adding things to make web sites look good on your devices and start making your devices display the web look like it does everywhere else.

Vato Gonzalez - “Badman Riddim (Friction Remix)”
This is an immense tune - unfortunately the stupid Foreign Beggars version has been getting all the radio play (on Radio 1, anyway), even though Friction’s remix (which as far as I know pre-dates the stupid version) is so far superior to it it’s just not funny.
But then, when have Radio 1 ever had any idea?
Bridlington tourists targeted by chip-stealing seagulls
Seagulls - seriously, what’s the point? Would anyone notice if they weren’t there? Do they form some vital link in the food chain?
Confine them to the same evolutionary dead-end as wasps and get rid of the lot, I reckon.
UK ticket wins £161m Euromillions lottery jackpot
[BBC News]
This is great for whomever won, but the egalitarian in me can’t help thinking that £161m could’ve gone further. Rather than making 1 person ridiculously rich, couldn’t it have been a life-changing moment for 161 people?
In my opinion, its high time for these lotteries to start capping their jackpots so as to create multiple prizes and spread the wealth a bit wider.
Most Common iPhone Passcodes
These kind of articles always interest me, just to see if my own passcode/word is in the list (its not thankfully!).

What a song! This just came on in the middle of a DJ set I was listening to, and before I knew it I was dancing in my chair and singing away!

Facebook sorry over face tagging launch
[BBC News]
Hmmm, not sure what I think of that one. So I’ve just disabled it in my Facebook privacy settings to be on the safe side. (And I agree, Facebook should’ve done so much more - is an email out of the question? Should I have to read about it in the press first?)
Zippy voice actor Roy Skelton dies aged 79

Matt Smith to return for new Doctor Who series
[BBC News]
I consider this to be two lots of good news: a new series of Doctor Who, and Matt Smith to carry on as the Doctor.
Majestic shuttle in unique station image
[BBC News]
A beautiful photograph, not only because it shows the shuttle and the ISS together, but because - for me at least - it gives a hint of what the realities of being in space must be.
Web giants promote new IPv6 internet address system
[BBC News]
It’s World IPv6 Day! Everyone (who cares) should use today to at least find out more about this issue that is, ultimately, going to affect us all.
