By far the biggest and most bizarre news this week is the story of Flappy Bird. Over the past few months, the addictive indie game has exploded, overwhelming creator Dong Nguyen who removed the app from the Apple App Store this week. It's not entirely clear why Nguyen pulled the plug on his $50,000 a day app. It's a saga. via Gizmodo
