Now there's a LEGO movie coming out and it looks brilliant.The LEGO Movie follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. This case of mistaken identity means that he ...
Check this out. It's the new ad for fast food chicken franchise Nando's. Notice anything familiar about it? Nope? Cast your mind back a bit. Yup it's a pastiche of the Old Spice series of ads fronted by Isaiah Mustafa.If we're honest, we're not quite sure what to make of it. On the one hand, it's a pretty slick interpretation of the genre, delivered with typically dry Nando's humour. On the other, the original ads started hitting their peak nearly ...
Between Apple's string of announcements at WWDC, the annual gaming frenzy that is E3 and Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth taking the South African government to court, it's been a pretty big week in tech.It was therefore pretty difficult to select the stories for Burning Hot, our weekly round-up of the most interesting stories across the Burn Media suite of sites.

Anyone who's been to university will tell you that the day they walked across the stage at their graduation (graduations in some cases) was one of the proudest of their life. Years of academic and emotional toil is distilled to a few seconds walking across the stage. The order of events varies from institution to institution, but the same elements are all there: the academic gowns, the hoods and mortar boards and, most importantly, the scroll officially recognizing that all ...
Of the hundreds of channels from your cable or satellite provider, how many do you actually watch?I watch 21. On an exam, that would be a definitive fail. Variety is used to mask overpricing, and we the consumers are none the wiser.In a world where most things are DIY, why is it that television is stuck in the past? It’s the equivalent of being sold an expensive bag of stones and told there is a piece of silver somewhere ...
Apple's 2013 WWDC keynote probably wasn't the most hyped in its history. After all, we weren't expecting any new iPhones or iPads and the iWatch is still very much theoretical at this stage.It makes sense then that the atmosphere was a lot more relaxed than the last few Apple launches have. That sense of quiet confidence was only aided by the fact that the rebranding of OS X with Mavericks didn't come with drastic changes and that market is ...

Now the world can put a face, and a voice, to the man behind those revelations.Edward Snowden, a private security contractor with experience working for the CIA, came forward as the whistleblower responsible for making the world aware of PRISM, a top-secret NSA system that collects emails, documents, photos and other material ...

But we've got our favourites.This week on Burning Hot, we've rounded up some of the top stories that the Burn Media team loved reading and writing.
