WELCOME TO THE Weird Wide Web – where we take a look at the week’s best offerings in tech and social media news.
Two Irish entrepreneurs have launched a new app that operates in a similar way to Hailo, except in this case it’s for those in need of immediate hair care. The app allows people to make last minute appointments in a salon in their area, which could be handy for those waking up with an extreme case of bed-head or a sudden urge to invest in some luminous orange highlights. Before the bickering starts, it’s available for both iPhone and Android users.

These lads, who work for a start-up that creates interactive displays for bars and restaurants, decided it would be an excellent idea for them to all work and live together in the one house. Business Insider had a look inside their office-slash-home this week. It got us to wondering what it might be like if everyone here at TheJournal.ie lived under the one roof…
If you’ve ever looked around a city here and thought you’d do a better job than some of our urban planners, have a go at StreetMix. Sure it would be nice to have cycle lanes, pretty trees and wide sidewalks everywhere but can you fit it all in? [via Gizmodo]

Attention comedy fans! If you can’t make it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Google have arranged for you to do the next best thing. They’ve partnered up with Comic Relief and launched the first ever online comedy club. You can sit front row and interact with comedians through your computer or choose to hang back and just enjoy the show. A laughter meter will monitor your enjoyment of the show and suggest a donation at the end, which you can choose to give, or not.

It probably cost a trillion dollars to develop, could have bought one on amazon for $9.99 made in China
@Martin Sinnott: But it wouldn’t be delivered in time
What’s the postcode for Mars? Can’t deliver without one!
“Human built rovers”??? As opposed to the Martian
@Graham: built ones
They’re Contra rotating blades as opposed to counter!!
Hope everyone reading this knows what a “sliotar” is and it’s size !
@Marie Berrill: Most people do. If not google! :-)
It’s hard to believe the American tax payers still buys into this NASA con artist scam and continue to allow themselves to be robbed to the tune of 31.5 million dollars per day or this unadulterated garbage.
“Engineers built the copter’s twin, counter-rotating blades to “bite into the thin Martian atmosphere at almost 3,000 rpm – about 10 times the rate of a helicopter on Earth,” said a NASA statement”.
Perhaps NASA “engineers” should have when to Dyson. Dyson engineers developed a DC frequency driven motor capable of speeds of 110,000 rpm! If only Dyson did Photoshop and had a film crew in Devon Canada, where the fake mars footage was shot, they could blow NASA out to space, excuse the pun!
The pilot must b tiny?
The singularity is here. The population of Mars is entirely made up of robots (14 of them), whilst us mere humans are unable to make the journey. All hail our robot overlords.
