Six confirmed cases of swine flu in Canada

Recently, 6 cases of the Swine Flu have been confirmed - In British Columbia and Nova Scotia. Apparently it came from incoming flights from Mexico, but the people that were diagnosed were not even hospitilized due to the flu's inability to majorly effect them. Health officals still warn that even though its ineffective right now, we should not just assume that it won't get worse in the future.

Resident Evil 5: Versus Mode now available

The Versus Mode downloadable content for Resident Evil 5 was finally released on the Xbox Live Marketplace a few days ago. It will cost you 400 Microsoft Points.

Conficker finally on the move

On April 9th, the Conflicker virus (which was launched on April 1st) finally began to show some activity. So far all it seems to do is search some random sites to see if the user has an internet connection and then it deletes itself. Although some people believe that it doesn't actually delete itself; they think it just stays hidden on your PC.
