Rumor: AMD in buyout talks with Microsoft
Jeeves, fetch me the sea salt. Fudzilla is rumor-reporting that Microsoft is eyeing AMD as a potential buyout. Personally, all I can say is I've had worse ideas. According to the site, the companies "have been in talks for a while". The deal arguably makes sense for Microsoft, since AMD supplies the APUs for the Xbox One console. Fudzilla suggests Microsoft could be looking to use AMD's APUs for its

Lockerpin Android ransomware takes the money and runs
Researchers from ESET are warning US Android device users about a new strand of ransomware called "Android/Lockerpin.A." As the name implies, this particular nasty will lock the device with a random PIN, making the device useless without performing a factory reset, gaining root access, or using some sort of device management utility. Users are told they can pay the attackers $500 to unlock their device, but paying up actually won't help at all.
The malware comes in the form of a fake "Porn Droid" app, which isn't available in Google's Play Store. Users can obtain it in third-party app markets or piracy sites, though. After the victim installs the app, an "Update patch installation" ...
