  • Foxtel us offering its customers free access to the channels Disney Jr., CBeebies & Nick Jr. and Channels 25 between 25 September to 8 October. Existing subscribers will receive the free trial automatically so there’s no reason to do anything. [Via OzBargain]
  • For its latest Aussie Adventure Ride, Gizmodo has test driven a Stealth Bike: an electric bike with a brushless motor is attached to the rear wheel. The ride also comes with front and rear disc brakes like on a real motorbike, and a throttle collar designed to give you more power than pedalling could ever give. You can see it in action over at Gizmodo.
  • Earlier today, we explained why we think GTA V’s midnight launch was a waste of time. If we failed to convince you, here’s another reason to stay at home — in the following video, a car collides with a motorcycle in the centre of Union Square, New York in the middle of GTA V’s launch. We hope nobody was hurt.
  • Not all fats are bad for you — some are actually essential to the human body. PopSugar Health & Fitness has run through ten of the most common foods that contain “good” fats. Click here to be enlightened.
  • This deal makes us grin like maniacs. In case you didn’t realise, today is Talk Like A Pirate Day. To celebrate, Krispy Kreme is offering 12 free original glazed donuts! The catch is that you have to talk AND dress like a pirate while ordering. However, the minimal dress requirements are pretty minimal — all you need is a bandanna although die-hards can also opt for a peg leg or parrot. The deal is valid for today only, so get cracking, me hearties!
