Beastly bacon - All those wishing ill on Angry Birds makers Rovio might want to look away now: Bad Piggies is doing quite well. The follow-up game hit the top spot in the US iOS App Store in just three hours. [TNW]

There's no guarantee that Seed will actually make it to the silver screen, but if it does, Amazon will be crowd-sourcing feedback every step of the way. [TechCrunch]
Digicon - The BFI is going to digitise 10,000 films over the next five years and put them online for all to see, using a player it has imaginatively dubbed the BFI Player. As well as all that excellent online film action, it is working with Samsung on a TV application that will showcase exclusive bits and pieces from the London Film Festival, among other events.
