Kanye West had a rather inspired Twitter session on Wednesday evening, and suggested that it was he, and perhaps some people like him, that could save the planet.

The rapper, who incidentally claims to have not bought a car or jewellery in the last two years, thinks that the world is missing something, and apparently it is an amalgamation of himself, Steve Jobs and, perhaps, Steve or Alexander McQueen.

The world will be improved through the launch of a company called Donda, that West said could change the world and the way that it consumes - oh, and arrange MTV music events.

DONDA is a design company which will galvanize amazing thinkers and put them in a creative space to bounce there dreams and ideas...

"I am assembling a team of architects, graphic designers, directors musicians, producers, AnRs, writers, publicist, social media experts, app guys, managers, car designers, clothing designers, DJs, video game designers, publishers, tech guys, lawyers, bankers, nutritionist, doctors, scientist, teachers," West explained in a stream of messages that look like they are fuelled by something other than his creative juices.

Donda will be split into 22 divisions that will go around doing exciting things all the time.

We need to take what Michael Jackson felt and Mcqueen and Steve Jobs and we need make things better...

"We need as many amazing powerful smart talented wealthy people to be involved... Come get on board... don't just sit there... reach out. We can collectively effect the world trough design. We need to pick up where steve jobs left off."

We're pretty sure that was with the release of Apple television or the iPhone 5, but we don't think that Apple would thank anyone else for releasing those.

It's a question that has plagued mankind ever since the typewriter was invented. Could a million monkeys at a million typewriters produce the complete works of Shakespeare? Well, the answer is possibly. Although, of course, not really.

For you see, an industrious computer chap called Jesse Anderson has managed to replicate what he believes would be the output of monkeys screaming, squawking and bashing on a keyboard, using a piece of code written with the Hadoop programming tool.

Hosting this on the Amazon EC2 platform allowed Anderson to replicate, in part, the great thought experiment of many a monkey-mad scientist. His simian friends have so far replicated 5.5 trillion possible combinations of letters.

And lo! The 'monkeys' have now written some Shakespeare, a poem entitled A Lover's Complaint (Sneak's heard those a few times), and are still munching their way through the rest of his works.

"This is the largest work ever randomly reproduced. It is one small step for a monkey, one giant leap for virtual primates everywhere," Anderson said on his blog.

Perhaps we'll end up with new versions of Shakespeare's classic plays with a tech theme: The eBay Merchant of Venice, Spamlet, Apple Macbeth, Much Adobe About Nothing. Any more, let us know below.

The notoriously strict application gatekeepers at Apple appeared to let their guard down on Tuesday when they approved a game called Phone Story for download on the firm's ever growing App Store.

However, the dozy staff should have looked closer, as the game is a none-to-subtle dig at the way smartphone factory workers are exploited in less well-off nations.

One level of the game involves the player trying to catch workers attempting to commit suicide, a reference to the fact that several staff at Foxconn, Apple's notorious manufacturing supplier, have done just that.

Eventually the staff at Apple realised their mistake (See? People at Apple do make mistakes) and pulled the game from the store, but not before countless thousands of iPhone owners had no doubt downloaded the game to see what it was all about.

Sneak thinks the developers should now make Phone Story 2, in which a disgruntled customer has to overcome levels such as The Inept Shop Worker, The Unfathomable Contract of Doom and The Fiddly Sim Card of Death on their way to getting a new phone.

As London returns to normal following the riots last week, the police are busy rounding up those who participated in the violence and disorder, with technology aiding in any way it can.

Sneak was particularly pleased to see one oik get his comeuppance thanks to a nifty bit of open source software installed on a Macbook Pro which was stolen from an information security worker/hacker called Greg Martin.

The hapless moron was tracked by the software from Prey Project so that once he logged on to the device with a new user account and started browsing, it was only a matter of time before swift, sweet justice was delivered.

The clincher was when he logged into Facebook, enabling Martin to see his name, location and stupid drunken photos.

Soon the boys in blue (the Met, not the Smurfs, just to be clear) were on their way to the looter's lair and before you could say "Steve Jobs" the device was returned to its owner.

Aw, Sneak loves a happy ending.
