NASA Finds Mystery 'Pyramid' On Dwarf Planet

Scientists are investigating a mysterious, pyramid-shaped mountain on the surface of Ceres.


The triangular peak was spotted by NASA's Dawn spacecraft as it orbited 2,700 miles above the distant dwarf planet.

The mountain towers three miles above Ceres' flat surface - more than half the height of Everest.

"Curiouser & curiouser. @NASA_Dawn sees pyramid-shaped peak," NASA tweeted after taking images of the mystery mountain.

As the craft gets closer to Ceres - the largest object in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter - more and more features are beginning to reveal themselves.

Samsung accused of disabling Microsoft security updates

Samsung has been accused of disabling Microsoft's software in preference for its own, leaving computers insecure.


Microsoft technical expert Patrick Barker said he had found Samsung software downloading and running a file called Disable_Windowsupdate.exe, while helping a user with a computer problem.

He said "a few Samsung-manufactured computer systems" were affected.

Samsung said it was just giving customers the choice about running Windows software.

"It is not true that we are blocking a Windows 8.1 operating system update on our computers," Samsung said in a statement.

"As part of our commitment to consumer satisfaction, we are providing our users with the option to choose if and when they want to update the Windows software on their products."

According to Samsung, the SW update allows users "to download the newest drives, updates and software for your Windows PC".

Man Buys Fallout 4 PipBoy Edition with Bottle Caps

Ahhh.... Bottle Caps.

The currency everyone speaks in Fallout.
The Bottle Caps

Well guess what?! Someone has been saving up their beloved bottle caps for 7.5 years and wrote to Bethesda in the hope of securing a copy of Fallout.

Most people laughed this off around the web but the idea has actually paid off.

Bethesda have confirmed that they will honor this and give the guy a copy of the game.

Below is the copy of the letter that is nothing short of genius:


So who says bottle caps aren't real currency.

Hats of to Bethesda on this one!


Driveclub PS+ Edition Finally Available

Sony have finally dropped the Driveclub PS+ Edition on the Playstation Store.

While I can't complain at the fact it is free, I have to say the wait has been nothing short of terrible and I have personally lost all interest in this one.

To make matters worse at the time of writing this the PSN is having woefully slow download times so it looks like Sony just want you to wait that extra bit longer......

I've started this downloading but given that driving games aren't my favorite genre I can't see it lasting long eating up valuable space.

Also the fact that most of the free DLC is only compatible with the purchased version and not the PS+ Edition is pretty poor.
