The menacing Flame virus continues to draw headlines, and expert cryptographers have now dubbed the malware "world-class" - high-praise indeed for the creators. PCs across the Middle East in particular have been targeted by the virus, which may well be the work of western authorities.

Financially-stricken RIM is a magnet for negative press at the moment, and now the company is being forced to phase out the Blackberry PlayBook - arguably its most popular model. Stock value for the company is a tenth of what it was at its peak, and the manufactures desperately need some more positive news before the Blackberry 10's proposed launch later this year.
