Minecraft Version 1.0 Arrives November 18th, Release Preview Available Now [News]


class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/creeperface1.jpg" alt="" />Gamers have been playing and enjoying href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/find-play-minecraft-multiplayer-server-gaming/">Minecraft for nearly 2 years now, but the version offered until now was not, in fact, the full game. It was instead Minecraft Beta, an evolving piece of software with new features added (almost) every month.

As of November 18th, however, the href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tags/beta/">beta officially ends and version 1.0 of the game becomes available. It will include completed versions of features that debuted in the href="http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/09/13/minecraft-adventure-update-impressions/">Adventure Update and a huge variety of small enhancements such as new blocks, new monsters, and new achievements.

Perhaps the most important new feature, however, is an end to the game. A new dimension called The Ender, which was first added to beta in October, will be accessible by players. Inside it, players will find the Enderdragon, a mythical beast of great power. Players who manage to defeat it will be given “The End” href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/share-awards-acheivements-online-scorely/">achievement and be treated to an end-game sequence.

Although the official release of version 1.0 occurs on the 18th, to coincide with MineCon, players can already href="http://twitter.com/#!/jeb_/status/135018767620112385">download the final pre-release beta, which has all the features of the full release.

If you’ve been on the fence about Minecraft, now would be a good time to buy it. The game is 25% off during beta, so you have only a few more days until that discount goes away.

Apple Officially Announces iPhone 4S – Features, Price & Release Date [News]


class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/iPhone-logo.gif" alt="" />The conference started off slow, with Apple pretty much talking about how great they are and how much their products sell. Which is all fine and good, but they know why everyone was there – to finally find out all about the new iPhone.

The first big piece of news to come out of the conference is that iOS 5 is releasing across all newer (back to 3GS) Apple devices on October 12th 2011.

The brand new iPhone 4S, which looks just like the iPhone 4 on the outside, has received a major update on the inside. It comes with an A5 processor and is twice as fast as the iPhone 4. It features a dual core graphics chip, making the graphic capabilities up to 7 times better than that of the earlier iPhone. In addition to boosting the raw power, the new device actually gains increased battery life over the iPhone 4. It now has up to 8 hours of talk time.

The 4S also sports a new 8 megapixel camera. The new camera also takes 73% percent brighter pictures, and is one-third faster than the iPhone 4. The new camera also takes full HD 1080P video and has built-in stabilization.

The rumored Siri voice control is in the phone, and it looks to be incredibly powerful. It seems to take voice commands to a whole new level. Siri is a personal assistant living in your iPhone.

class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/iphone5apple2011liveblogkeynote1590.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="399" />

There will be both black and white versions, while the pricing will be 16GB for $199, 32GB for $299 and 64GB for $399. iPhone 4 will be $99 for 8GB and the 8GB 3GS will be free with a contract.

In the US the new iPhone will be on Sprint, AT&T and Verizon and it will also be available in Canada, Australia, UK, France, Germany, and Japan as well. Pre-orders start on October 7th, and the device goes on sale October 14th. On October 28th the device will roll out to 22 more countries.

Firefox 4 Release Candidate Available for Download [News]


class="align-right" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/logo2.png"/>We’ve already given you href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/7-reasons-upgrading-firefox-4/">7 reasons you might consider upgrading to Firefox 4, so if you’re eager to try out the latest features, the release candidate is now available for href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC/">download. The release candidate has been available for a few days, and for those of you who didn’t want to install the beta, the stability the latest version offers is reason enough to take the plunge.

With changes made both to Firefox’s appearance, as well as countless changes under the hood, there’s a lot worth trying out in the release candidate.

Changes have been made to Firefox’s appearance, specifically changing the tab location, to above the address bar. (Chrome anyone?)

id="more-67598">

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Tabs.png" width="576" height="215" />

A unique new Firefox tab feature is the ability to pin tabs to your browser. This comes in handy for websites you tend to keep open all the time, such as webmail, and is just one of a few features which will appeal to users who’s online life is in the cloud.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/pin.png" width="423" height="228" />

Another useful in-the-cloud feature is the synchronisation feature, all of your your Firefox data – from settings to passwords, from history to open tabs – can be available to you on all of your devices, including Android and iOS devices, through a Firefox sync server.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Synchronisation.png" width="580" height="485" />

The release candidate also launches a revamped add-ons management centre, with an updated slick interface making it easy to search for and install Firefox plugins.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Addons.jpg" width="580" height="284" />

Under the hood, you’ll find that Firefox 4 RC is faster than any previous version – at least 3 and a half times faster than previous versions according to tests.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/speed.png" width="546" height="421" />

In addition, Firefox 4 RC features HTML 5 support, enhanced privacy settings, and crash protection, meaning when Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime or Microsoft Silverlight plugins crash, you can reload the page without having to restart Firefox.

If you want to give Firefox 4 RC a try, head over and href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/RC/">download your copy now.

New Release Of Powerful Hulu Video Downloader


Multimedia and internet software developer Ramka Ltd. released a powerful program for ripping videos from Hulu called RipTiger (riptiger.com). It helps online video viewers save just about any video to their 

computers or mobile devices. The program automatically downloads web video once it starts playing in the browser and converts downloaded clips to popular video formats with a click of a button.

The developers say they created this tool to make up for the lack of reliably working and easy to use Hulu downloading tool. “We created RipTiger because the few Hulu downloaders that were available on the 

market didn’t work reliably. Some programs did work, but were too complicated and feature limited. On the other hand, RipTiger was designed to automatically download movies / TV shows from Hulu and other 

web-sites. With only two clicks the videos can be converted and transferred to a mobile device for on-the-go watching.”

It really couldn’t be easier. Users only need to launch RipTiger and the state-of-the-art software does the rest. Once RipTiger detects web video starting in the browser, it begins the download 

automatically, regardless if the window with the video is open or not.

“We are actively working to ensure that RipTiger is always compatible with the newest Hulu streaming mechanisms. We have also added and continue adding support for other videos sharing or video streaming 

web-sites. This has increased the software’s usability made into a truly versatile streaming video downloader.”

Fans of exotic online video resources aren’t left in the wild either. RipTiger’s sophisticated engine allows downloads from a large variety of web-sites, even the not so popular ones. RipTiger will capture 

video from most web-sites you ever visit, not just Hulu.

How do people use the downloaded online videos? There are many use cases depending on what a specific person needs. “Generally, people use RipTiger to download online movies and TV shows to watch on their 

computers or portable players later. However, it can be used to rip just about any video for personal use, for example music videos, educational videos, comedy videos, tutorials, etc”.

We are constantly working to ensure compatibility with more video sharing / video streaming web-sites. If you come across a great video web-site that RipTiger can’t download yet, just drop us a line and we will add it in the future.
