Rovio sponsors Formula 1 driver Heikki Kovalainen
We're starting to wonder what "limited resources" actually means over at Rovio. If you've got enough cash to send your product into space itself, and then turn around and also sponsor a Formula 1 driver's head, we get the feeling our definitions of "limited" vary by a few billion dollars.

Angry Birds wins a prize for making money through merchandising
Rovio, the people sprinkling stale bread behind Angry Birds, received the Property of the Year prize at the 12th annual Toy of the Year awards (yeah, that's totally a thing). Rovio won based on the massive amount of Angry Birds physical merchandise it's released over the past two years, which ...

Gene Simmons of Kiss teases Angry Birds game, makes total sense
While we've been blissfully ignoring Kiss frontman Gene Simmons since his last appearance on The Simpsons, he's been busy transitioning his band from 1970s stadium rockers into a crosspromotional love gun. Take, for example, Kiss Hello Kitty (which is apparently a thing?). We're not quite sure what ...
Angry Birds catapulting to Facebook on Valentine's Day
Mirroring the plans of every bitter, lonely soul the world over, Rovio will be filling Facebook with anger come Valentine's Day.
