Weekly Rewind: January 12
Get your baby a free babyccino; beauty-health products unveiled at CES; and orgasms turned into art, all feature in this week's round-up of stories from around the web.
5. Gender pay gap explained at 500 firms
After the BBC revealed last year that men working at the organisation made 9.3% more money than their female colleagues (although apparently it's now at 10.7%), they must have felt smug publishing this article about the gender pay gap at 500 firms. Brands like Vigin Media, Oliver Bonas and Easyjet all paid women less than men, although surprisingly at bike store, Evan Cycles, women earnt 6.5% more than their male counterparts.
4. Babyccino's go free! 
Ever ordered a babyccino for your baba only to recoil in horror when the barista tells you how much it cost? Ok - it was only ever 55p but still for hot frothy milk, that seems absurd.

Still who can blame Zuckerberg, he just wants his kids to be proud of the social kingdom he's created.
1. Turn your orgasm into art
Here's a new take on a self-portrait: how about hanging a 'picture' of your orgasm above the fireplace? Well, according to Metro, it could soon be a reality.
