New Web 2.0 Startups
Hot off the internet presses comes this month’s exciting news regarding some of the buzzingest Web 2.0 Startups. Grunterer Grunterer is a new web startup operating out of Mumbai that aims to extend the current trend of shorter and shorter communication – as seen in text messaging and the Twitter service – to its logical conclusion: the monosyllable. With much of today’s youth already communicating through a series of short, unintelligible sounds anyway Grunterer hopes to capture their limited imaginations and produce a web-based and – eventually – portable device-based social networking system designed specifically for this market. Grunterer is currently in Alpha testing with sounds – or Grunts – such as "ur", "nh", "beh", and "wuh" already stabilised for a limited invite-only Beta tentatively scheduled for next month. We think: everyone will be grunting on the web in the very near future! PreScentz PreScentz (pronounced presence) is the latest brainchild from Andrei Smzmazma who many of you will know as the Ukrainian genius behind Blinkeee, the pioneering business formed last year to target subliminal flashing adverts at those susceptible to epilepsy. PreScentz is described as: … the secure way to share your odours and the smells of your whereabouts with sites and services online whilst retaining total control of your privacy. PreScentz provides an open API to developers of other social websites to enable smell-tagging in software and hardware. The emphasis is on enabling the user to have complete control over who smells what, where, and how strongly. Smzmazma and his partner Alexei Werzwzwaz have been attending all the major web and tech conferences over the past few months, promoting PreScentz as – among other things – adding environmental value to adverts (kebab aromas for drunk web visitors), a refinement for dating sites (sniff a potential partner before meeting him or her), and practical jokes (farts). We think: we’re looking forward to finding out how Harry Knowles smells the next time we visit Ain’t It Cool. shrugE Out of the technological hotbed of northwest Montana comes the long-awaited open beta release of shrugE, the social non-promotion application suite for things that aren’t worth buzzing by people who don’t really care that much about hyping in the first place. "Shruggers", once they can be bothered to sign up, will be able to shrug about anything – online or offline – if the thing isn’t worth getting excited about, or not, really it’s up to them. Whatever. If you’re the sort of person who often wants to find something that may or may not be just what you’re after then shrugE might just be the answer. Or it might not....
More RIPdogs
Everyone loves LOLcats, right? Then everyone will love this too! Andy Fanton‘s genius has come up with the next big thing in internet faddery and darn it all to heck if I’m not going to get in on the act early for a change.

Water Lilies Movie
There’s almost no truth whatsoever in the scurrilous rumour that I’m too busy to put up a proper post and am merely taking advantage of a chance to engage in some viral blogging instigated by the awesomely hot Gia instead in order to keep the site ticking over so just put away those thoughts right now. If you like synchronised swimming – who doesn’t? – and you like tales of female adolescence centred on three fifteen-year-old girls experiencing first love in very different ways – why, that’s very nearly described my entire DVD collection! – and you want to see why critics have hailed the director and young stars – rather than just guess or use ouija boards – then I heartily recommend you watch Water Lilies. Watch the first six minutes of Water Lilies now by clicking below, then watch the remainder in the cinema safe in the knowledge you can arrive a little late and still know what’s going on. Assuming you don’t arrive late at the cinema I’m in, of course. Because then I’ll kill you. That start time you see listed? That’s when the film starts. It’s a crazy notion, I know. It’s not a rough estimate either. It’s when the film actually starts rather than when you should join the queue for overpriced popcorn and "small" cups of Fanta the size of your torso. How odd! Wait, where was I? The movie! Water Lilies might just do for synchronised swimming what Strictly Ballroom did for the paso doble. Hey! Got your own site? Then paste this code and show this video clip of the first six minutes of Water Lilies to your visitors too. Regular neOnbubble posting will return after this short...
neOnbubble Discount Gems Warehouse
Are you looking for cut-price jewellery but without cut-price quality? Then get the hell out of here! No! Only kidding! Stay! Pull up a chair and sit your jewellery-purchasing behind down then whip out your jewellery-purchasing fingers and get ready to purchase some jewellery for yourself, your loved ones, an otherwise meat-only raffle at a church fete, to fill some crackers, or just to appease your insatiable appetite for spending money you don’t have because you want to pass on crippling debt and the stigma of having a worthless parent to your children! Item: #2934934/01 Description: Stunning Everyday Crown Let’s start with a perfect piece of accent jewellery that works as well out shopping as it does on formal nights. Don’t be afraid to make an impact when you step out in your designer crown from neOnbubble Discount Gems Warehouse. Many of the world’s lesser-known designers have been showcasing the crown in the creations on the catwalks of Swindon, Troyes, and Newark this year. You could be the trendsetter in your housing complex if you act right now! Dazzle! It’s so beautiful! Put any worries about weight away right now! This crown – measuring 18cm in diameter – is crafted in Lapland from our exclusive synthetic gold replacement, Goldesque. It’s 26-carat pure Goldesque so you know it’s quality but this entire piece of stunning jewellery weighs far less than you think and is suitable for anyone with even only a casual interest in weightlifting. Sparkling! Nothing says "class" quite like large gemstones and you’ll be the classy king or queen of the classy ball with your crown featuring no less than 6 – count them! – stones of triple A-rated Glassique. Each stone has a minimum gem weight of 3 carrots. No! That’s not a typo! And at a price of under forty pounds sterling that’s a lot of stones for very few pounds! That’s an imperial measurement joke there even though the crown indicates a monarchical system but you probably didn’t get it anyway! Crowntabulous! Item: #1183939/82 Description: "Fancy" Pendant I know you. You’re the sort of person who wants something just a little bit different. Well, you don’t get more different than this fancy pendant made from some of the fanciest pieces of rare Earth minerals found in fields, in the innards of fish, and down the backs of sofas all around the world. Golly! That may look a bit like a peanut in there but that’s actually Peanutrine. Geologically-speaking it’s a young stone but that only adds to its rarity. Could you eat an amethyst in an emergency to survive? Perhaps. But you could definitely get...
Censored Celebrity Pictures
Keira Knightley bent over a chair and exposing herself to the world, Jamie Lynn Spears caught in an unforgettable pose, and Brad Pitt in an intimate and revealing embrace with Angelina Jolie are just three of the scenarios not pictured in this incredibly hot selection of censored celebrity photos! Is there anything in this world that Paris Hilton won’t put in her mouth? It’s certainly difficult to be certain and this picture is no real help on account of its gratuitious censorship but if I had to make a guess then I’d say that the answer’s probably no. I’m not saying that she can dislocate the muscles and bones of her face and get anything up to and including a whole Gary Coleman in there like a snake but I am hoping that you’re thinking that even though I’m not saying it now. Because I’m not saying that. David Beckham is something of a gay icon and a bit of a hit with the ladies I hear! Is that David Beckham nude apart from socks in public? It can’t be! David’s wife Victoria has drilled it into him many times (no making up your own jokes there) that socks and no pants is a fashion no-no! If only that picture of David Beckham wasn’t censored! David will be looking to earn his 100th cap for playing for England soon. I hope he has somewhere to hang it. Hayden Panettiere ended up showing off a little more than she was expecting while signing pictures! It was her repertoire of magic tricks in order to entertain a crying child. Hayden started with a string of coloured handkerchiefs from her mouth and then went on to produce an endless supply of gold nuggets from behind the child’s ear. She finished off with a disappearing elephant illusion that captivated the crowd but sadly failed to soothe the tantrum of the infant. After that Hayden gave up and went back to signing photos. It’s possible that one of her breasts slipped out of her top whilst doing so but it’s difficult to see with that "censored" sticker on the picture. What is Tobey Maguire doing with his hands in this photo? Sure, that could be innocent but being censored opens up a whole world of possibilities. Maybe Tobey’s hands are in his pockets. Or maybe he’s shooting webs around his crotch like in that movie he was in. You know the one. Tobey Maguire played a man who was bitten by a spider and then dressed up like a spider – a gay, colour-blind spider, but you do get them – and as this...
Science Secrets Revealed
It’s been a while since we last had neOnbubble‘s resident doctor of knowledge, Doctor Ofknowledge, in to answer your science questions and that’s mostly due to incarceration at Her Majesty’s Pleasure for misuse of a cloning machine. But never fear for he’s back now – or his clone is – and some scientific sating can start straightaway! Melanie of Moonbase Beta asks … Is it possible to survive on the Moon’s surface without a helmet? Of course it is. The lack of an atmosphere and extremes of temperature are no barrier to Moonbugs who quite happily swim through the regolith carving out craters for tourists. For humans, however, it’s a different matter but you should be okay so long as you have some kind of pressurised vehicle with an airlock. Gilbert of Toledo asks … What is evolution? Evolution is a bastardised form of the word "evilution", itself a portmanteau of the words "evil" and "dilution". Life emerged on the Earth over 10,000 years ago. At that time it was small but incredibly complex. Over the generations since, that life has split, procreated, or mutated thanks to x-rays, becoming less at every turn. Each generation of flora or fauna is significantly simpler than its predecessor, a poor dilution of the original lifeform. You know how you think kids are stupider these days? Evolution. Mimi of Nuneaton asks … Scientifically-speaking, what is the worst film ever? Weekend At Bernies 2. Agamemnon of Rio de Janeiro asks … There is a leak in my toilet. I’m worried about the Atlantic ocean. That’s not a question but Doctor Ofknowledge is an understanding soul and will proceed as if you asked one. Water is a vengeful beast but thus far no ocean has ever taken the life of a human for allowing its toilet water offspring to drip onto the floor and evaporate. A river once strangled a man in France but he was performing unspeakable acts with a baguette and the crumbs were falling into a tributary. I think we’d all have done the same. Yeuk Hai-Mok of Bradford asks … Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? I’m wearing Calvin Klein’s Obsession For Avians. To a pigeon I’m giving off the same pheromones as a freshly-washed car. Janice of Beijing asks … Do storks really deliver babies? No Janice. The stork’s neck muscles are not strong enough to carry an infant for any distance. In any case, storks are babyvores and would sooner peck a child into a pinkish mush than transport it for no apparent reason. Melanie of Moonbase Beta asks … Is it possible for a...
