Not to make you feel old, but the Apple iPod turned 20 years old over the weekend - and photos of an early prototype show that it could have looked very different. An app company called Panic, which created 'Untitled Goose Game' and was involved in the iPod in its early days, has released pictures showing a mustard-yellow brick prototype about the size of a chopping board. It has a tiny grey screen, four ugly directional buttons, and circuitry poking out of the sides. However, the prototype did include the iconic click wheel resembling a wheel of cheese. Apparently it was created only two weeks before the finished iPod, which means Apple staff must have pulled all-nighters to bridge the gap between this monstrosity and the sleek final product. "It has always been my deepest dream to smoothly unzip a backpack on a flight, theatrically pull out this incredible beast, plug in some headphones, and use it as my actual 'portable' music player," said …

THE adult social network OnlyFans allows sex workers to interact with their fans and make money while doing so. However, the company has announced some big changes that might change the way users use the app. What is OnlyFans? OnlyFans is a subscription content service based in London - with an app that reportedly has over 30million users . Sex workers charge monthly fees for access to pictures, videos and more. Its roster includes over 18,000 performers, according to OnlyFans.

Glenn Jones was always creative. His life-long love of art led him to a job as a creative director for a graphic design company, and more recently, to starting his own art studio with wife Julie where the couple create nostalgic art prints that tap into Kiwi childhood memories, think water bomb instruction guides, buzzy bee scooters and fighter lolly jet planes. At one point, he was behind an international T-shirt brand that had quirky designs worn on hit TV shows The Big Bang Theory, Arrow, and by comedians and film stars, including Shaun of the Dead and Mission Impossible star, Simon Pegg. Jones lives in Auckland with Julie and their three children aged nine, seven and six, who are both his biggest fans, and strongest critics. Bridget Jones sat down with him to talk about his approach to art, creativity and the power of memory. READ MORE: Why is New Zealand unnaturally obsessed with KFC?

Progressive Enterprises, which owns Countdown supermarkets, is trying to win back shopper loyalty. Fed a diet of "specials" for decades, shoppers have learnt to shop around for the best prices, and now display a clear lack of loyalty to any one of the big supermarket brands. Our promiscuity is such that just less than one in ten of us do our grocery shopping exclusively at Countdown supermarkets. Instead, most of us go where we think the bargains are. The majority of us split our shops between different supermarkets, and quite a few of us also pop into the speciality stores like The Mad Butcher, or FruitWorld for some items. If the stuff we want is not on special at the supermarket we visit, we are likely to head off to a rival store, where we hope it will be. "Price, price, price is the number one thing that New Zealanders expect when shopping." says Bridget Lamont, Countdown's general manager for marketting. "We are among the most price conscious shoppers in the …
