Ubisoft's Uplay blasted as 'rootkit', installs 'unsecure' browser plug-in [UPDATE] 
Some coding enthusiasts have discovered a little something in Ubisoft's Uplay platform for PC leading others to blast it as a 'rootkit'. It stealthly installs a browser plug-in which isn't secure.
The plugin granted its discoverer "unexpectedly (at least to me) wide access" to websites. It's a rather embarrassing hiccup if true.
UPDATE: Trend Micro's Rik Ferguson, director of the security research firm, has said it's "not a malicious root, just really bad code." It's "a huge risk" .

American author John Beiswenger wrote a novel called Link which published in 2002, in which a person in a lab experiences memories through the eyes of his ancestors.

Ubisoft's Jade Raymond, who's worked intimately on the original Assassin's Creed, has said sequels for existing IP are "great" for testing 'innovative ideas'.
The reason is because if a new idea or new tech "doesn't work" then there's still "tons of the other stuff" that fans will enjoy, and help the game recover.
