Your Thunderhole Just Got The Clap
Security specialists claim to have uncovered a flaw in the Thunderbolt connectivity specification that could expose PCs to attack via their USB-C and DisplayPort interfaces. Dubbed 'Thunderclap', the vulnerability enables hackers to exploit the privileged direct-memory access (DMA) provided via the Thunderbolt connection to access the targeted device. It gives them direct and unlimited access to a machine's memory because these ports come with low-level and very privileged direct memory access (DMA), which supplies any malicious peripherals with much more privileges than regular USB devices.
Apex Legends breaking Fortnite … and Anthem?
With the first month officially under it’s belt, it seems EA’s strangely timed offering of Apex Legends may just be paying off. It’s broken the record set previously by Fortnite of the fastest time to hit 50 million players, but what does Apex Legends mean long term for EA? Especially with Anthem now out on shelves.
The Momo Challenge!?!?!?
A YouTube video of Peppa Pig going on a picnic with her family begins like any other episode of the popular kids show. But three minutes into the bright, chipper video, a distorted face with bulging eyes appears and a creepy robotic voice begins speaking. “Slice your leg and you’ll never meet me,” the voice says. “Slice your wrists and your parents will never see me.” Another similarly creepy video depicts a slow zoom-in on the character as it sings “Momo is going to kill you.” Recommended site: The Source For Parents
The PS Vita Is Dead, Long Live The PS Vita!

Uncharted: Golden Abyss
Dragon Quest Builders
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Little Big Planet
Ratchet & Clank collection

Final Fantasy X
Mortal Kombat
You're Killing Me Smalls ... A Sandlot Television Series In The Works
