- AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU Review - Every
time AMD releases a new processor, one question is on the tip of the
tongues of enthusiasts everywhere: Is this the product to finally take
the performance crown from Intel? I have to say that the AMD Phenom II
X4 965 Black Edition CPU isn't that product. This latest CPU from the green machine is
simply a revision to the previous Phenom II X4 955 CPU. As we
know this line of processors is still only able to compete with Intel's
Core 2 Quad line of CPUs, rather than take on Intel's Core i7 beast.
- Next Firefox Update to Auto-Update Flash
Player - PCWorld reports that Mozilla's

opening salvo against out-of-date, open-to-attack plug-ins from vendors
like Apple, Adobe, Microsoft and Sun.

- AT&T to release iPhone MMS on September 25
- AT&T recently announced it will be launching
Multimedia Messaging Service or MMS to the iPhone on September 25, 2009.
The long awaited update to the iPhone, since its announcement of the
3.0 firmware back in May, was to bring MMS to the iPhone. AT&T
said it planned to launch the service by the end of summer.
AT&T said the reason for not launching the MMS service in June
was to see if their network could handle the increase in traffic. The
last couple of months, AT&T has been upgrading their network to
handle the increase in traffic once MMS goes live, saying there will be
an "exponentially increase traffic."
- Sci-Fi Plot Revealed for Stallone's Rambo V: The

a few days ago news broke confirming that the fifth installment of
Sylvester Stallone's Rambo series had been greenlit by Nu Image /

- First Clash of the Titans On-Set Footage! -
MTV debuted the
first bit of footage from Clash of the Titans last night, but it's a
behind-the-scenes set visit video, so there's no finished footage. It
features on-set interviews with Sam Worthington, Liam Cunningham, Mads
Mikkelsen, and Gemma Arterton. There is a lot of awesome action,
though, and it looks pretty badass.
