It’s just a rendering of what someone thinks the iPhone 7 will look like, but here’s the thing: I really want this concept iPhone with a glowing Apple logo. This video render by German site Computer Bild, as far as ridiculous concepts goes, is actually fairly realistic: it features a Touch ID sensor built into the display, a dual camera on the rear for changing depth of field and a glowing Apple logo on the back. In the real world, Apple has been awarded a patent for integrating Touch ID into the display, as well as one for a camera that can…

You need to use your huge old-school room key to make it go and it reminded me of the two-man rule for launching nuclear weapons. What can I say? It was pretty late. I shared the image to Instagram and Twitter, sparking my journey around a curious corner of YouTube – the world of the elevator filmers. @brokenbottleboy Mic. Where was that lift? Certain lift filmers on youtube would kill to film it. Including that panel. — Darren Richardson (@MrDazz1966) April 9, 2015 Once Darren tipped me…

If you’ve always wanted to play the drums (or are looking for a way to pass a few minutes on a Friday afternoon), then TypeDrummer lets you do just that from your computer keyboard. It might not bring the excitement of actually being able to put together a decent beat on a drum kit, but it also doesn’t require any of the skill, patience or dedication either. All you need to do is bash out a beat using the letters on your keyboard; spaces do affect timing, but none of the other numbers or symbols seem to do anything. Once you’re happy with…

Ed Miliband, leader of the UK’s Labour Party, has just resigned after failing to become Prime Minister in yesterday’s General Election. That’s par for the course, but elements of his speech weren’t. As well as name checking colleagues and thanking party workers, he made time to talk about selfies and a Twitter fandom dedicated to him: Thank you for the selfies. Thank you for the support. And thank you for the most unlikely cult of the 21st century – Milifandom. #Milifandom was coined by a 17-year-old student and first reported by BuzzFeed.
