Samsung Galaxy S3, designed for stalkers - That's what we're taking from this schmaltzy TV ad that insists the Galaxy S3 "shares what's in your heart", "keeps track of loved ones", "recognises who you are" and "waits till you're asleep"? Before what Samsung? BEFORE WHAT?
Control yourselves - The iPhone 5 continues to emerge a bit at a time. We've seen the SIM tray, now we can gaze in awe at the headphone jack, earpiece and "Wi-Fi cable" that will apparently come in the next one. Thrilling, thrilling stuff. [SW Box]

Donde esta la bibliotecha - Those authors are a demanding bunch. Not only do they want to make money when someone buys the books they pour years of work into, now they want to get paid when somebody borrows a digital copy of their book from a library. Who do they think they are? People who need to pay the mortgage and eat to live or something? Jeez. [Guardian]
Unneccessary - Just in case you aren't spending enough of your waking hours on Twitter, it's now going to send you a daily digest email telling you about all the things you already read about on Twitter. It's like it doesn't realise we're addicted or something. [Twitter]
Send help - Speaking of Twitter, it now has 10 million active UK users and 80 per cent of us access the site using our mobile phones. That's higher than the global average of phone-using twitterers (55 per cent). Well, we did say we were addicted? [Guardian]
In sooth I know not why I am so sad ? Proving that there's a Twitter bot for everything, @pentametron retweets twitter musings that are written (usually unintentionally) in iambic pentameter, Shakespeare's favoured writing rhythm. "Snapped on the teacher not in trouble tho/Wow sudden rain and hail hello hello." Pleasing. [Gawker]
Paranoid android - This Russian robot is terrifying in its realism and near-sentience, but even more so for its more-than-passing resemblance to our very own Gareth Beavis (pictured below). Keep it away. [Ubergizmo]
New music streamer on the block - Rdio has officially launched in the UK. Yes, we know it technically launched before, but that was before the press release was ready. [Rdio]
Do some good - Samsung is going to donate ?1 to charity for every mile you travel while using its Hope Relay app until August 12. Run, jump, hop, hopscotch, skip, wriggle on your tummy ? do whatever, you don't often get a chance to weasel money out of a multinational tech company for a good cause. And if you won't listen to us, at least listen to, um, Jamie Oliver. [Samsung]
Wolf - Want to know how often Digitimes is wrong about Apple rumours? Spoiler alert: a lot. [Time]
