This is pretty cool. It's a website which continually updates on breaking news. It has a map of the globe and glides to wherever a new release has been reported. You can select the type of news - I selected Top News, Politics, Technology and Odd News.
You'd need it as your home page to get consistent benefit and then you'd be distracted all the time, but very impressive.
