Men keen for next version

SOFTWARE:Huzzah! It's International Software Upgrade Week. Do you upgrade your software regularly? Did you know that men upgrade software more often than women when prompted? Or that a quarter of all adults admit that they don't know how to check to see if their software needs to be upgraded? Skype has a nice infographic displaying this and more insights into upgrade behaviour and it's all displayed in a compact infographic. If you're curious, check out the #Update4Free hashtag on Twitter.

Questionable Content

COMIC:Despite the name, there is nothing questionable about this funny, engaging web comic. Running for almost a decade, this online comic strip is updated on a daily basis, which is good because it's pretty addictive. The storyline revolves around the life of nerdy aspiring musician Marten and conversations with his friends that reference all things cool, geeky and non-mainstream. Think of it as Eastenders for hipsters.

Let the games begin

APP:Apparently, most of us love to multitask, especially when it comes to watching TV and snacking on information on our smartphones or tablets. Well consider the London 2012: Official Results App the perfect multitasking companion to your Olympics TV schedule. It gives a mini-bio on all participating athletes, schedules, results and live news. And there's another app to go along with this called London 2012: Join In which is incredibly comprehensive, but it's aimed at those heading over to the games with a need to map out their time at the various events.

If normal athletic prowess doesn't impress you, perhaps you'd prefer to see people get serious about Rock, Paper, Scissors or worm charming or bog snorkeling. Check out the videos – the contestants seem to take their sports seriously.
