If you’re sharing your Spotify account with… well, anyone, you’ll know that it has a talent for throwing up some odd suggestions based on what the other person listens to.

The City of Johannesburg has shut down its website and online services, reporting a cyber-attack following a series of ransom notes sent to the city. The ransom, sent by a group calling itself the Shadow Kill Hackers, is demanding 4.0 bitcoin from City of Joburg.
Warning. Nuclear missile launched. Okay, so we’re not quite there yet but the folks over at Petroglyph Games have released their first footage of Command and Conquer Remastered.
