Assassin's Creed III launch trailer is here!

Assassins Creed III, one of the hottest games to hit shelves this holiday season, is but days from launch. The PS3 and Xbox360 versions hit stores tomorrow in North America and the day after in Europe, with the PC and WiiU versions following in about a month. As such, Ubisoft has released the games launch trailer.

Check out the video above, and youll find out a lot about the protagonist, Connor, and his origins; what he fights for, and youll even catch a glimpse of George Washington shaking hands with him. It is slightly odd to see a Native American fighting with the colonists; but I guess the British are the greater evil in this case.

At the very least, the trailer has me bubbly with anticipation, and I dont seem to be alone. Ubisoft stated on October 25th, that ACIII is the most preordered game in the history of the company.

AMD to launch new fastest Phenom II X3

It's been a long time coming, but AMD is finally going to add to thetri-core line-up (which is nothing but Phenom II X4 with one coredisabled).

The new product in question is Phenom II X3 740 -running at 3.0 GHz, with a total of 1.5 MB L2 + 6MB L3 cache.

It is unknown whether this will be a Black Edition CPU like it'spredecessor (the 2.8 GHz 720BE).

The 720BE has been a hot seller thanks to it's affordability (US$119),overclockability and if you are lucky - unlocking the disabled core to the BIOS.

It is expected to launch some time in September.

Android malware rises threefold in second quarter

Malware on Googles Android platform has risen threefold in the second quarter of this year, with nearly 15,000 new malware added to Kaspersky Labs database.

The rapid growth of Android in the booming smartphone arena has not come without its price, as hackers and cybercriminals now view it as an increasingly profitable target, leading to more than 14,900 new malicious programs during the three-month period.49 percent of these are multi-functional trojans, which steal data from mobile phones, including contact names, email addresses and telephone numbers, but they can also download more software from servers they are connected to, presenting an even greater threat to mobile users.A quarter of the malware on Android are SMS trojans, which steal money from users credit or adds to their bill by texting messages to premium-rate numbers without alerting the owner of the device. Often times these are only found out long after a large amount of money has been stolen, and Kaspersky Lab has detected a rise in use of such tactics, with at least 47 countries reporting incidents.18 percent of Android malware are backdoors, which give hackers full access to the device, allowing them to be used as part of a botnet.Just two percent of Android threats are trojan spy programs, but Kaspersky Lab said that these are the biggest threat, as they hunt out valuable information that can give access to users bank accounts.“In the near future, we expect not only more malware, but more effective and dangerous malware targeting Android,” said Yuri Namestnikov, Senior Malware Analyst at Kaspersky Lab. “Judging from existing trends, we should expect that cybercriminals will soon shift to more personalised attacks. This is primarily about malware hunting for confidential data with which to steal money from users’ credit cards.”With Android likely to grow even further in the coming years, users will need to stop seeing their smartphone as just a phone and more like their home computer – which needs regularly updated anti-virus software and a healthy dose of security common sense.

Apple to make official iPhone 5 announcement on September 12

An anonymous source has reported that Apple may unveil the latest iPhone on September 12. The iPhone 5 will be Apple’s next flagship smartphone, which is rumored to have a larger screen, thinner dimension, and better overall processing power.

A supposed leak of a fully assembled iPhone was found earlier, but it was unconfirmed whether the smuggled device was the real deal.

The iPhone 5’s official announcement is perhaps Silicon Valley’s most anticipated news of the year, and its almost a no brainer that Apple will take advantage of the increase holidays spending to boost sales of their cash cow device.

The anonymous source also said that the September 12 date might change; so don’t get excited just yet.

We’ll know in about a month and a half whether or not Apple decides to lift the lid on their next-gen smartphone. We have our calendar circled and will keep you posted.
