One More Thing Angry Birds scammers get done

• Bad app-le  Someone get us a catapult and some
  disgruntled fowl, we want to fire them at this
  Latvian firm that was publishing fake editions
  of Angry Birds and Cut the Rope which allowed it
  to send hidden premium texts to anyone who
  downloaded them. Happily, the firm has now been
  fined 50,000 and ordered to refund all the
  people caught out by the scam. BBC
• Wooooay, football  Football's still going,
  apparently. The second test for Hawk-Eye's goal
  line tech is set to be England v Belgium on June
  2, thus providing one more thing to blame when
  England doesn't win things. FIFA

What up Barack?

• All you've got to do to get a call from the
  president is launch your own privately-funded
  space program. Sadly for Elon Musk said "Caller
  ID was blocked, so at first I thought it was a
  telemarketer." If it hadn't have been blocked
  it'd have flashed up "B-DAWG Calling",
  presumably. TNW

Where did dogs come from?

• The eternal question. No one seems to know. And
  if you said WOLVES then QI KLAXON. Ars Technica
• Like Mike - Google's shopping spree not only saw
  it picking up Motorola Mobility but also design
  studio Mike and Maaike, which worked on the first
  Android phone (the much-loved G1) as well as the
  Xbox 360. Controversial. TNW
• Fashion - If you buy this R2D2 hoodie, you're
  only allowed to communicate in beeps and boops
  while wearing it. And maybe by projecting
  holograms. But that's really it. Gizmodo UK

• Marvel-lous  Gorgeous 4-year-old Anthony Smith
  woke up one day and told his mum he wouldn't wear
  his hearing aid because superheroes don't wear
  hearing aids. Gorgeous Marvel was having none of
  that when Anthony's mum emailed for help finding
  a hearing-impaired superhero, not only did Marvel
  respond with news of Hawkeye who lost 80 of his
  hearing, but it also created a whole new
  superhero named Blue Ear named after Anthony's
  hearing aid. Gorgeous. Fox
