The original members of Guns N' Roses look set to reunite the group for a world tour

Leading figures Axl Rose and Slash have reportedly decided to bury the hatchet and could bring the band back together for a huge world tour. 

After a long-running feud, it looks as though Slash and Axl Rose have put the past behind them and are finally talking again. This cessation of hostilities after such a long time has brought about a lot of rumours regarding a possible return to action for the band, and while there has been no official confirmation, the whispers seem to be gaining some momentum.

John Murdy, a friend of Slash and boss of Universal Studios theme park, stated that "Slash and Axl talking again is a really good sign" for the possibility of a reunion, while keyboard player Dizzy Reed said that for the band "timelines don’t really apply [but] things will come out when they're ready and we'll go on tour".

Oh, lardy... There are a lot of crazy rumours about David Cameron and a pig this morning

If you log on to Twitter this morning, you may see a hashtag trending that's slightly questionable; #piggate. And no, it's not about the attack of a lot of killer pigs. In fact, it's much worse than that...

The book claims that an MP recounted the story to the authors and worse again, there may be photographic evidence according to the Daily Mail.

Apple has been hit by its first major malicious virus attack

Apple has confirmed that it has been involved in an operation to clean-up its App Store after it suffered its first significant attack by hackers who placed a malicious virus in the network.

The hackers seem to have persuaded legitimate third party developers of Apple apps to use a tainted counterfeit version of Apple’s software, which was more quickly accessible from servers in China, and which managed to slip through Apple’s own stringent app review process.

These apps can transmit information about the devices that they are downloaded to, and prompt fake alerts - it is believed that the target is to steal iCloud passwords.
