Maxthon Cloud Browser Floats to Windows Phone Platform

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 11:49 AM PDT

Maxthon Cloud BrowserA mobile platform hat trick

With today's addition of the Windows Phone platform, you can now download and install the Maxthon Cloud Browser (MCB) to devices based on any of the top three mobile operating systems (Android and iOS being the other two). It's designed to make navigating the web from multi-devices a little easier, and one way it does that is by syncing your favorites online so that they're accessible to other devices using MCB.

It also sports a patent-pending implementation of tabs, whereby Windows Phone users can swipe up and down to go forward and backward in browsing history, a feature no other Windows Phone browser offers, Maxthon claims.

Other features include Favorites optimized for mobile touchscreens, Quick Access live tiles, and a pop-up address bar that appears via a simple gesture.

"With mobile devices becoming the first screen for most of the world's population, we here at Maxthon understood the importance of making our leading cloud browser available on all mobile platforms," said Jeff Chen, CEO of Maxthon. "We listened to our users and developed a Windows Phone browser with unmatched features and usability to bring the best browsing experience to all Windows Phone users."

You can download Maxthon Cloud Browser for free from the Windows Phone Store.

Nvidia GeForce 331.58 Drivers Now Available to Download

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 11:03 AM PDT

Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 TiEnables GeForce to Shield streaming (beta)

After a busy week announcing new graphics cards like the GeForce GTX 780 Ti and services such as G-Sync and Gamestream, Nvidia today rolled out a new batch of GeForce R331 Series drivers. The GeForce 331.58 drivers are WHQL certified and are recommended for top notch gaming performance in Batman: Arkham Origins and Battlefield 4. The drivers also enable streaming from GeForce systems to the company's Shield handheld gaming device, a feature that's in beta.

Installing the drivers can net you up to 13 percent better performance. Some examples Nvidia provided include:

  • Up to 11 percent better performance in Dirt: Showdown
  • Up to 9 percent better performance in Metro: Last Light
  • Up to 8 percent better performance in Sleeping Dogs
  • Up to 13 percent better performance in Sniper Elite V2

All of the above examples apply to GeForce GTX 770, 780, and Titan graphics card owners. In addition to performance boosts, Nvidia made the usual round of SLI profile updates and additions.

Finally, the new drivers add support for 4K Surround, Nvidia says. For more information, check out the Release Notes (PDF).

Consumer Electronic Devices Only Have 3 Months Before Facing Obsolescence

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 09:32 AM PDT

Never Obsolete eMachineSomething newer and better is always looming

Every PC builder faces the same question when picking out new parts: Should I buy Product X or wait for Product Y? That's because there's always a faster graphics card around the corner, a more capacious solid state drive on the horizon, or a new CPU architecture on the verge of being announced. No matter how long you play the waiting game, it's impossible to stay ahead of the curve for any real length of time. The same is true for consumer electronics, though would you have guessed that three months is the average lifecycle of a mobile device?

According to Digitimes and the sources from the upstream supply chain it spoke with, gadgets like tablets, smartphones, and notebooks enjoy a mere three months on the market before something better comes along. The life expectancy of mobile devices used to be twice as long, but "fierce competition" means consumers are almost constantly being inundated with newer products.

This can be problematic for vendors who risk getting stuck with old inventory that they just bought. To prevent that from happening, vendors have turned to short-term orders to the upstream suppliers rather than inking long-term contracts like they used to.

The way products are sold is changing, too. For example, within the last few months, every major wireless carrier in the U.S. has implemented a frequent upgrade program that allows customers to trade-up their smartphone for a newer model at least once a year.

It will be interesting to see what other trends emerge as a result of this.

Gartner Predicts PC Shipments Will Decline 8.4 Percent in 2013

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 08:06 AM PDT

Vizio UltrabookLow cost tablets are trending

Lower cost tablets seem to be eating away at traditional PC sales. According to market research firm Gartner, combined desktop and notebook PC shipments are on pace to reach 303 million units in 2013, representing an 11.2 percent decline from 2012. If you throw ultramobiles into the mix, the outlook is a little better, though still in a downward swing to the tune of an 8.4 percent decline in shipments.

In stark contrast, tablet shipments are expected to balloon 53.4 percent this year to 184 million units. Continued price drops in the 7-inch category are what's fueling the growing demand. As it stands, 47 percent of the 21,500 people Gartner surveyed said they own a tablet that measures 8 inches or less.

This sounds like more gloom and doom for the traditional PC market, but if you focus on the shipment numbers instead of the rate at which each category is growing or declining, things aren't as bad. Let's compare:

  • 2013 desktop, notebook, and ultramobile shipments: 321.6 million units
  • 2013 tablet PC shipments: 184.4 million units
  • 2014 desktop, notebook, and ultramobile shipments: 321.4 million units
  • 2014 tablet PC shipments: 263.2 million units

Assuming nothing disrupts the current trend, the fast growing and wildly popular tablet segment will eventually catch up with combined traditional and ultramobile PC shipments, though not for at least a couple more years.

Facebook Posting Errors Force People to Communicate Face to Face

Posted: 21 Oct 2013 07:30 AM PDT

Farewell FacebookSocial network turns shy

Menlo Park, we have a problem. Users are reporting issues with posting status updates to Facebook this morning, as apparently a sitewide error is disrupting the service. Not only are some users hampered from posting status updates, they also can't send messages, upload photos, or even "Like" posts. In other words, for those affected, the interactivity portion of Facebook is not working.

I haven't seen the error myself, but according to Mashable, those affected will see a pop-up message that reads, "There was a problem updating your status. Please try again in a few minutes," when trying to post something to Facebook.

The problem seems to have first occurred early this morning. By about 9 AM CDT, the Chicago Tribune noted that "some functionality has returned," like being able to post to business pages, but that commenting was still hit or miss. In addition, it says birthday wishes aren't working.

The website Down Right Now (not to be confused with Down For Everyone or Just Me, both of which are handy bookmarks) indicates Facebook is likely experiencing a "service disruption," and based on user complaints, it appears to be a worldwide issue.

Facebook hasn't commented on the problem.

STO Dyson Sphere Robot
Finally! We finally have some news to report involving Star Trek Online's upcoming new content! Some of the new Season Eight material is up on the Tribble test server, and the new Featured Episode will be released on October 31st!

We still aren't exactly sure when Season Eight will be released, but it's now easier to see what's in store for us, including a new set of space missions and new ground missions that feature territory control. I've had a chance to jump onto Star Trek Online's Tribble server to try a few things out and to see these "dinosaurs with frikkin' lasers on their heads" for myself. So let's get to it.

    PlanetSide 2 is heading to Brazil
    PlanetSide 2 is adding another stamp in its passport: It's heading to Brazil! If you happen to live in that neck of the woods, you'll soon be able to jump into the explosive action on local servers thanks to a new partnership announced by SOE today. Brazil's largest game publisher, Gamerica, will bring the free-to-play MMOFPS to the country and another company, UOL BoaCompra, will handle local payment methods.

    Under this agreement, Gamerica will have exclusive publishing rights for the PC in Brazil and will provide dedicated servers, local customer support, and payment gateways (through UOL BoaCompra). PS2 remains free-to-play and players can make purchases in-game using their preferred payment methods in their country.

      The Stream Team  Standardized test edition, October 21  27, 2013
      Why should public schools have all the fun? We here at Massively know just how important knowledge is, so we are going to be throwing our hat into the standardized testing ring. Are you ready? Of course not because today is the the pre-test to gauge your knowledge before we get into any streaming. So before we go any further, answer each of these questions.

      What is the Stream Team?
      • a) A group of highly trained professionals dedicated to your personal entertainment.
      • b) The group that monitors salmon mating habitats.
      • c) The best darn thing next to sliced bread (and a bag of chips, too!).
      If one Stream Team member had four coconuts and another had three swallows, how long would it take the editors to sail the yacht to New Zealand backwards?
      • a) African or European?
      • b) Depends on how many solid gold cars they have on board.
      • c) Last week.
      OK, got that? Good, now we can move forward into the real lessons. Get ready to study! You can ace Quips and Quotes 101 and the Will This Work?! lab by watching this week's shows on Massively TV. And yes, there will be a test at the end!

        The Daily Grind: Would you play a Saints Row MMO?

        The Daily Grind - Would you play a Saints Row MMO?
        I finally finished up Saints Row IV the other day, and I'm already missing the game's silly and spectacular open-world shenanigans. I pretty much did everything you can do, too, so it's not like I can go back and try to get 101 percent completion or do much of anything besides wander aimlessly about and sample various mod community offerings.

        What I'm trying to say is that I wish SRIV had some sort of ongoing multiplayer component. And while I'm daydreaming, a persistent world would be swell too. While certain aspects of the game might not make for a smooth MMO transition, I'm thinking that most of it would, and in fact the series' combination of a modern setting -- lightly salted with sci-fi -- and its over-the-top irreverence would be a breath of fresh air in a fantasy-obsessed MMO landscape.

        What do you think, Massively readers and Saints Row fans? Would you play a SR MMO?

        Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!

          At the end of every week, we round up the best and most popular news stories, exclusive features, and insightful columns published on Massively and then present them all in one convenient place. If you missed a big MMO or WoW Insider story last week, you've come to the right post.

          SOE has been promoting EverQuest Next and the Landmark toolset in a flurry of community debates, producer's letters, and screenshots in the lead up to its beta signup announcement this week, but the reveals have been soured by news that EverQuest Mac and Magic: The Gathering - Tactics will be shut down next month and next March, respectively. EQ Mac had survived one death sentence already thanks to a last-minute stay of execution, but that was before August's round of layoffs at the studio.

          Read on for a peek at the rest of this week's top MMO stories.

            Dungeons and Dragons Online players protest True Heart changes

            Dungeons and Dragons Online players protest True Heart changes
            A number of Dungeons and Dragons Online players are currently in the midst of an in-game sit-in spurred by Turbine's plan to remove the primary method for acquiring True Hearts of Wood, a necessary item for the game's True Reincarnation skill. The hearts, available via trade-ins of Tokens of the Twelve earned by dungeon running and other tasks, will require several times more tokens from epic-level sagas after DDO Update 20 goes live. In addition to the increase, the tokens are now character-bound, instead of account-bound, requiring even more farming.

            The change has stirred unrest in the Dungeons and Dragons Online community, resulting in high-profile, multi-page forum threads along with the in-game sit-in that has now lasted for over 24 hours. The sit-in is currently focused on the Wayfinder server; dozens of players now occupy the city of Stormreach under the guild tag "Update Twenty Killed Me."

            According to the DDO forum's dev tracker, no Turbine employee has offered a response to any of the protest threads.

            EVE Evolved: The Siphon Unit in Rubicon

            Posted: 20 Oct 2013 04:00 PM PDT

            EVE Evolved The Siphon Unit in Rubicon
            EVE Online will soon let players steal valuable resources from each other, and not everyone is happy with it. The upcoming Rubicon expansion will add a new Siphon Unit structure that can literally siphon off materials from a starbase's moon harvesters and simple reactors. Preliminary details on the structure were released in a new devblog this week, sparking debate over whether the new item will be a useful tool for disrupting entrenched nullsec alliances.

            Many expected the siphon to be a minor annoyance to starbase owners, with the presence of a siphon being easily discovered and a limit of one siphon per starbase established. In reality, one siphon unit can rob a starbase of 60% of the output from a moon harvester or 12.5% from a simple reactor, and there's no limit to how many can be stacked on an individual starbase. It'll take only two of these to completely shut down a single moon-mining operation, and the owner will get no warning whatsoever that it's happening.

            In this week's EVE Evolved, I look at how the Siphon Unit will work, its stats, various ways to protect your starbase from it, and what the long-term implications may be for EVE.

              Don't expect SWTOR space PvE any time soon

              Filed under: , , , , , , , ,

              Don't expect SWTOR space PvE any time soon
              The Unnamed SWTOR Podcast recently spoke with BioWare devs Damion Schubert, Andrew Horwitz, and Eric Musco at Star Wars: The Old Republic's Community Cantina Q&A in New York City. According to podcast host JD, BioWare said that space PvE will not be coming to SWTOR any time soon, if ever.
              I asked about the possibility that Galactic Starfighter was designed with PvE in mind. [BioWare] said no, it was not. That is far far far far far down on the wall of crazy, is PvE Starfighter. [BioWare] said the biggest problems would be with scripting and 3-D AI; things that they don't have in the game they would basically have to write fresh. The good thing about PvE is the good scripting. Getting the ability in at the right time makes it interesting and fun, but not unfair. You know, getting those enrage timers right. Getting like a DOT thrown out at the right time. Stuff that has to be done really well for PvE to work right. And for them to do that in space would be a lot of work. So problems with scripting and AI would be reasons that we won't be seeing PvE Galactic starfighter.
              SWTOR launched with an on-rails space shooter component and is currently in the process of adding space PvP with December's Galactic Starfighter expansion.

Steparu has posted part two of a lengthy impressions piece for the sandbox title, the second portion of which focuses exclusively on player housing. As it stands right now, the system is limited to auctioned houses that are hard -- or at least expensive -- to obtain. There is no player-made housing in Black Desert's Korean closed beta just yet, so expect to spend time jostling with lots of players clustered around the auctioneer NPC if really want a home of your own.

              Steparu has posted plenty of both interior and exterior housing screenshots as well as a video tour which you can see after the break.

The dev blog mentions that bug-squashing is currently a major point of focus, so much so that the studio has doubled its internal quality assurance team.

              The team is also hard at work on the UI and a new HUD as well as the game's dynamic encounter systems. The details are fuzzy at this point, but Red 5 says that "Firefall is meant to be a living, breathing world with things happening at all times and something that reacts to player involvement."

              The rest of the dev blog covers the game's story, character progression, crafting, creatures, combat, and social integration. Read all about it via the links below.

              Rumor: PSO2 may not be heading to the West, despite being 'fully localized'

              Rumor PSO2 may not be heading to the West, despite being 'fully localized'
              It looks as though Sega has no plans to bring Phantasy Star Online 2 to Western markets after all. TSSZ is reporting that a source close to the publisher has revealed that while the game has been "fully localized" for an English release, that localization is aimed at English-speaking regions in Asia and not European or North American audiences.

              The source speculated that Sega may be concerned about PSO2's potential profitability in the West but was clear that whispers from its contacts in the company in no way represent an official cancellation of a Western release. Phantasy Star Online 2 has had no visible presence in the Western games community since it was shown at the 2012 Penny Arcade Expo.

              This week I'd like to throw around a few ideas for enjoying yourself in Star Citizen's absence. Yeah, there's the hangar module, and it's pretty spectacular for what it is. But after dorking around in cockpits and doing a few I'll-be-in-my-bunk Jayne Cobb impersonations as I wedge my avatar into my Aurora's sleeping compartment, I ache to spool up those engines and go somewhere.

              Fortunately there are a ton of worthy space sims that we can use to while away the next couple of years. Or the next couple of months, because dogfighting alpha!
