ITV launches iOS catch-up app
ITV has launched an iOS version of its ITV Player app, available in the iTunes Store from today. The free app is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch and gives you access to the last week's worth of programmes from ITV1, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV4. That means on-the-go access to such gems as Loose Women, Daybreak and The Jeremy Kyle Show – such a shame The Bill was cancelled before this halcyon time. Video playback using the app is via Wi-Fi only, so no 3G streaming to eat into your data

Review: Gigabyte GV-56OC-1GI
Discrete graphics processor manufactures AMD and Nvidia are past masters at prising graphic cards into market segments that you or I would think are pretty well packed already – or didn't even realise existed in the first place. But to be fair you can hardly blame them, as shifting prices in the market often have them scurrying to drop the prices of cards or bring out new spins or cores to fill the gap. Earlier this year Nvidia, and Gigabyte, brought us the GTX 560 Ti, with a stream processor
Climate-change skeptic funded $1m+ by fossil fuel firms
Documents obtained by Greenpeace US allege that one of the most prominent climate change skeptics, Dr Willie Soon of the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, has been on the big oil payroll to the tune of more than $1m, casting doubts onto the neutrality of his research. According to the investigation, ExxonMobil, the American Petroleum Institute and Koch Industries are among the coal and oil industry heavyweights to bankroll Dr Soon’s projects, with the suggestion that every
Indestructible botnet infects 4.5 million PC's
Researcher Sergey Golovanov has warned that a botnet named TDL-4, but also known as TDSS and Alureon, is "the most sophisticated threat today".
A botnet is a network of home computers that have been infected by a virus that allows a hi-tech criminal to use them remotely. Often botnet controllers steal data from victims' PCs or use the machines to send out spam or carry out other attacks.
TDL-4 is thought to have infected 4.5 million PC's, 5% of which are in the UK.

HP: Enterprise, not iPad, our TouchPad target
HP has dismissed criticisms of its TouchPad tablet – which SlashGear reviewed earlier this week – suggesting that incoming webOS updates will smooth out any rough edges and that, rather than taking on the iPad 2 in the consumer market, the company’s main target is business users. “We think there’s a better opportunity for us to go after the enterprise space and those consumers that use PCs” HP VP of worldwide developer relations Richard Kerris told The Loop,
