One More Thing: You can keep the Lumia nail varnish, thanks Nokia
Yah, yah, absolutely. Nail varnish. That's so on brand

Nokia Marketing Memo - "Look team, I know we're up against it but girls aren't idiots. They just have different priorities to men - you think ladies have time for all that complicated technology stuff when there are clothes and shoes and Ryan Gosling and whether they'll ever get married to think about?

"Girls' minds are so elsewhere that you could paint a black rectangle on a post-it and the little ladies'd buy it thinking they're getting an iPhone because they saw it in the Sex and the City movie. You've got to catch their attention with something in their interest sphere, like, say, matching nail polish. That might not be enough though – better make it hot pink." [Mashable]

Blocog - LOCOG has shut off @2012TicketAlert's access to its ticket site data because… well, no one's sure why.

The Olympics body says it was Ticketmaster's decision. Yep, we can believe that. [BBC]

Stompy - Kickstarter. Giant ridable robot. Inevitable, really. [Engadget]
