The inevitable Taiwanese animation take on Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs biography has arrived. It's enjoyable on the whole, but we wish the final cut tackled the scene where Jobs relents and agrees to put an 'off' switch on Apple's products. [Next Media Animation via Wired]

The official Kremlin blog (!) posted video Russian president Dmitry Medvedev playing badminton with Vladimir Putin yesterday. Why? According to Google Translate, it's part of Medvedev's ongoing series on things Russian kids can do in school to stay active.
