Firefox 2 has been released

Firefox 2

YAY mind you i have been using the rc’s for a bit so nothing new to me 😛

However!

Here are SOME the new features for your eyes

  • Built-in phishing protection:
    Phishing Protection
    warns users when they encounter suspected Web forgeries, and offers to
    return the user to their home page. Phishing Protection is turned on by
    default, and works by checking sites against either a local or online
    list of known phishing sites. This list is automatically downloaded and
    regularly updated when the Phishing Protection feature is enabled.
  • Improved tabbed browsing: By default, Firefox will open links in new tabs instead of new windows, and each tab will now have
    a close tab
    button. Power users who open more tabs than can fit in a single window
    will see arrows on the left and right side of the tab strip that let
    them scroll back and forth between their tabs. The History menu will
    keep a list of recently closed tabs, and a shortcut lets users quickly
    re-open an accidentally closed tab.
  • Previewing and subscribing to Web feeds: Users can decide how to handle Web feeds (like
    this one), either subscribing to them via a Web service or in a
    standalone RSS reader, or adding them as Live Bookmarks. My Yahoo!, Bloglines
    and Google Reader come pre-loaded as Web service options, but users can add any Web service that handles RSS feeds

Rest of it here

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence

Featured Articles No Comments

Finally after 1 year of delays, Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence shipped!

I had ordered it way back in December 2005, expecting it to be delivered around Christmas time. However Christmas came, and went….. Then a new shipping date was set at February 2006 , and then May… and then August then again December. By this time I was seriously considering buying it from Japan.


To my surprise I logged onto Amazon, and was presented with the great news that my order had just shipped. I then procceded to sit by the post box for the rest of the day, and then I remembered that I had school. I got home and *GASP* There it was lying on the table waiting to be unwrapped. I tore off the packaging and ran upstairs with my brand new copy of Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence, and stuck disk 2 straight in my PS2.

Review:

Disk 1: Subsistence
Disk 1 of the 3 disk set contains the great game everyone knows, Metal Gear Solid 3. New features in the game are the new 3d camera instead of the fixed one, a plethora of facepaints, camo and other things to make your Snake look the best around. (Its basically the same game 😀 )


Disk 2: Persistence
Now this is where the real fun is.

  1. Online play- Play against people…. online
  2. Demo Theater- Duel against foes from the game
  3. Secrets Theater- Shhhhh….
  4. Snake Vs Monkey
  5. Metal Gear – The original version from the MSX
  6. Metal Gear 2- Again an old Metal Gear game from the MSX

As you can see, there are a lot more features than the original “Snake Eater” release.


Disk 3: Existence
It is all the cutscenes from the game made into one enormous film, I won’t give anything away, but it is the story of the game, nicely wrapped up on one disk.

Gameplay– 9/10 – Could Improve the camera
Graphics–  9/10 – Nothing really beats this
Enjoyment– 8/10 – Too many cutscenes I think
Length– 8/10– The game does have its “long” parts

Overall score: 9/10- Excelent game, much better than snake eater, A must have.
