Firefox 6 Available For Manual Download

Posted: 14 Aug 2011 10:51 AM PDT

FirefoxMozilla fans who are happy marching to the rhythm of Firefox's new franticly beating drums will be pleased to know that not only is Firefox 6 still on track for release this Tuesday, but here at Maximum PC we have the links to hook you up a whole two days early.

The process involves downloading the installer directly from Mozilla's repositories, but we have verified that it is indeed the final working code, and is identical to the version that will be pushed out through the auto updater in a couple of days.

For desktop users Firefox 6 is definitely a bit light on new features, but is still a worthwhile upgrade if it's still your browser of choice.

Investors Value Dropbox At Over $5 Billion

Posted: 14 Aug 2011 10:27 AM PDT

DropboxDropbox has come under fire recently over a series of security snafu's, but even with all the negative press, it remains a utility with no equal for users who are trying to get work done on multiple machines and devices.  Given how ubiquitous the service has become since it launched back in 2007, we expected they would have no trouble locking down additional funding from investors, and we were right.

According to TechCrunch the rumors which pointed to a possible 5 billion dollar valuation were not just accurate, they might be a bit on the low side. Investors are said to be clamoring for a piece of the file syncing service, and it's estimated the final valuation it could go as high as 6 billion, netting Dropbox founders Drew Houston and Aarsh Ferdowsi up to 300 million in additional funding.

We still won't have the final number for a couple weeks, but it's safe to say if you've got files tucked away in your Dropbox have no fear, 300 Million buys a ton of hard drives.

We are proud to announce a new title to our games-portfolio: the post-nuclear Action-MMOG "L.A.W – Living After War".

Founded in 2008 and working on L.A.W ever since then, the development team at South-Korean studio Nitrozen has some incredible references: Take the studio founder Lee Jang Wook, who is the Art Director of the RPG-classic Diablo! He gathered talents around him who previously worked for renowned companies such as Electronic Arts, Rockstar, Sony Computer Entertainment and SNK, as well as graphic talents from Lucas Films, Industrial Light & Magic und Dreamworks. These guys know how to create an awesome game!

Together, they came up with a grim vision of the future: A devastating nuclear war left earth in ruins. Survivors fled the earth on spaceship "Tomorrow" to return 200 years later and rebuild civilization. But upon their return they find that those who did not escape have genetically mutated into a nature loving race now known as the Nak. The ideological differences between humans and Nak are not the only threat to resurrect civilization. The bloodthirsty Shamak are roaming the earth to enslave all mankind

L.A.W mixes classic MMO elements such as a wide range of skills, guild system or instanced dungeons with groundbreaking new real-time strategy (RTS) features for its PvP (player-versus-player) mode. Through tactical usage and even direct control of ground and airborne units such as heavy tanks or swift helicopters, even smaller but well organized groups can be victorious over their enemies in these epic battles for rare resources. These resources will be traded by players in a similar fashion to the real-world stock market.

By the end of the year we will invite some selected players to be part of the closed beta. See you on the post-nuclear battlefields of a ravaged planet earth!

Yours alaplaya-Team
