Also this week, don't you just hate it when stuff doesn't work? Are internet and social media outages becoming more frequent ?
A doctor in Argentina has created a video game to help calm the nerves of children facing a hospital operation.
And what weighs three tonnes and is the size of a mini-van ? It's the world's largest digital camera.
