<p>Electronic Arts has bought social game developer KlickNation and is turning it into a studio within BioWare its role playing developer division.</p>
<p>The acquisition price wasn’t announced but it cost $35 million a source tells Inside Social Games.</p>
<p>KlickNation was one of the earlier companies to specialize in social RPGs.</p>
<p>These types of games haven’t gotten the big usage numbers that simulations like FarmVille have but their users tend to spend heavily on virtual goods.</p>
<p>The developer’s traffic never got too big however and all of its titles have been in decline for months.</p>
<p>Today it has nearly 400,000 monthly active users and 50,000 daily active users.</p>
<p>According to AppData falling from one time highs of 1.3 million and 150,000 respectively.</p>
<p>It’s top titles today are Age of Champions and Superhero City.</p>
<p>It took a couple years, but EA is getting results from having bought its way into social gaming.</p>
<p>It has specifically started to hit its original goal of building successful social versions of existing IP, with The Sims Social being the biggest success to date.</p>
<p>It bought Playfish in November of 2009 in a deal worth up to $400 million then added a range of other companies including Chillingo.</p>
<p>Firemint and PopCap  its biggest acquisition to date at the price of $750 million.</p>
<p>The result is higher and higher revenues from its digital goods category  projecting it to bring in $1 billion a year as of its most recent earnings.</p>
<p>KlickNation’s role will be helping trying to get Sims Social levels of success out of more EA IP.</p>
<p>We share the same creative values. The new BioWare Social unit will bring BioWare and EA franchises to the growing audience of core gamers who are looking for high quality rich gameplay experiences on social platforms.</p>

<p>Mozilla’s been making 64-bit builds for Firefox for quite a long time, none of them received the official stamp approval to be released.</p>
<p>The developer of the application actually took the Firefox source code and compiled it to run on x64 Windows.</p>
<p>Optimizations for 64-bit platform are included, so you should get better browsing speed.</p>
<p>Waterfox fares better in benchmarks compared to the regular Firefox.</p>
<p>As far as add-ons are concerned, they should all work just fine.</p>
<p>It also supports the most used plug-ins (Flash, Java and Silverlight).</p>
<p>Waterfox spawned from Firefox code and the developer compiled and optimized it to run smoothly on 64-bit platforms.</p>
<p>Any bugs you may encounter have to be fixed by the author of the code, namely Mozilla.</p>

<p>Together the two will integrate eyeSight’s innovative Hand Gesture Recognition Technology into new models of Android based Smart TV sets.</p>
<p>Yes Android is coming to the TV.</p>
<p>The first model of Hisense Smart TV with this unique feature is Series XT710, which has been introduced to consumer markets in China.</p>
<p>Users will enjoy a natural, new intuitive way of interacting with their TV sets.</p>
<p>They will be able to control basic TV functions, without having to move out of their comfortable viewing position to reach the remote control.</p>
<p>Users will also be able to play games using intuitive gestures and touchless use other applications on the device.</p>
<p>But how does all this work, your all too human neurons might be asking you.</p>
<p>These smart TVs will use motion monitoring cameras to read a persons hand and body gestures and in turn control various functions.</p>
<p>Hisense will be making use of eyeSights SDK on their new XT710 smart TV, which makes use of 2D cameras to monitor hand gestures and movements.</p>
