We tried I Am Bread – a game about becoming toast – and it was awesome
The premise of I Am Bread - a PC game by the makers of the stratospherically popular Surgeon Simulator - might be our favourite ever. You play a piece of bread whose sole ambition in life is to become toast by any means possible. You can use a toaster, of course, but there are endless more creative (and funny)…
Recruiter sends jaw-droppingly sexist email to female engineer – then claims it was a stunt
Sexist harassment of women on the internet - especially women in tech - is far from new. But usually, the trolls have the sense to use a fake name and a throwaway email address so they won't get caught. Not so in the case of Justin D'Agostino, a tech recruiter based in San Francisco, who…

Restaurant defends manager who bit a waitress in terrible TripAdvisor response
You'd think that by now, business owners would have wised up to the fact that insulting their customers on public forums is an extremely bad idea. Only last week, a Manchester restaurant was vilified after branding a party of customers "chav cheap trash" when they had the gall to complain about poor service on the…
Why the Apple Watch is just another way Apple turns its back on new customers
Like many people yesterday, we were forced into downloading Safari to stream the Apple Watch event. There's no technical reason for this, other browsers are equally (more?) capable of livestreaming content. It's purely a power play by Apple, a way of forcing you to use their products.
