  • The freelance design website DesignCrowd is having a 24 hour sale that gives 50% off the project posting fees for any new design job, whether it be extensive web and graphic design or simply a company logo. Head to DesignCrowd for more information.
  • A massive US fertiliser plant explosion caused by Ammonium Nitrate has been captured on video by a father and daughter who happened to be in the area. The shock waves from the explosion profoundly affects the duo despite being parked more than a kilometre away. The blast appears to fracture the car windows and may have burst the unfortunates’ ear drums. The death toll is not yet known. (The explosion occurs at the 0:29 mark.)
  • Our colleagues at Gizmodo have just spent the afternoon putting Vodafone’s touted 4G network through its paces. The highest download speed recorded was 107Mbps. Click here to find out how fast it is at different network capacities and on different devices.
