One More Thing: BBC celebrates record-breaking online Olympics
Most successful online event

Olympic achievement – The Olympics is officially the most successful online event ever, according to the BBC, notching up 55m global browsers to BBC Sport online, 106 million requests for BBC Olympic video content across all online platforms and 9.2 million UK mobile browsers to the BBC's Olympics coverage. Great stuff – but let's not mention the closing ceremony ever again, people. You with us? Good. [BBC]

Jailhouse rock – Kim Dotcom promises that between jail stints, single releases and dates with Woz he will find the time to launch his music service, Megabox, this year. [Torrent Freak]

Thanks for the ad – Lynx, ever the social media darlings, has announced a new advert that turns into a game when you sprinkle a little QR magic on to it. The banner is part of the Lynx Attract campaign and 'brings gaming to life on YouTube' apparently. If you are itching to play the game then you will have to wait till midnight tonight and it will be playable all the way till 4PM the next day. [Facebook]

Gotye remixes Gotye – 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' admirer Gotye has decided enough is enough with all the parodies of his 'Sombebody I Used To Know' song on YouTube and has decided to get in on the action itself, by remixing his own song by using all the covers. Sound confusing? It is but makes for a compelling watch. [The Verge]

Zuck who's talking – Mark Zuckerberg is possibly one of the most recognisable faces on the planet thanks to Facebook making him a billionaire before he's hit the ripe old age of 30. Most recognisable to everyone, except NBC who think that Jesse Eisenberg, the actor who played Zuck in The Social Network, is actually Mark Zuckerberg. Oh, dear. [Business Insider]

Drag race – Ever wandered what a video of an iPhone 4S and Galaxy S3 dragged behind a car would look like? Nope, us either, but Cool Smartphone has created such a thing to show off the durability of the two phones. Yes, it's a silly video, and TechRadar would never make a silly video itself but it is interesting viewing. [Coolsmartphone]
