Flash juggernaut Alisdair Mills, the world’s leading authority on unfinished iPhone games, is working on a cricket simulator. Judging by the video it looks like it’ll be tastier than a king-size Toblerone, but I wouldn’t hold your breath waiting for it to show up in the App Store…

Now this is a terribly good idea. A merry-go-round hooked up to a water pump, allowing children to pummel the obesity fairy in the face whilst sourcing clean drinking water.

Despite inauspicious beginnings at the Nuremberg Toy Fair, the range went on to sell in excess of 2 billion figures. The original line-up – a knight, a construction worker and a Native American (best friends, presumably) – was soon joined by an expansive range of characters and accessories that have entertained millions of children across the globe.

Lively, currently in beta, is Google’s answer to Second Life. The downloadable application allows you to create rooms, decorate them to your liking, then make and invite friends over. Of course, you’re far better off actually doing these things in real life, but if you have poor personal hygiene and/or no friends you’re sure to find it very rewarding.

Check out the magic
Our kettle of cool gives this a rather fabulous 1.6 liters which when converted to cups of tea is 5 out of 5!
