Maxis launched it’s HSBB service late October last year but you might not be aware of this because it is not as heavily promoted as their mobile broadband offerings. Initially, Maxis had offered only one plan offering a 6Mbps line plus VOIP for RM118/month for existing Maxis and RM158/month for non-Maxis subscribers. Today, Maxis updated it’s HSBB service with three new plans — 4Mbps with 30GB quota for RM128/month, 6Mbps with 60GB quota for RM158/month and 10Mbps with 60GB quota 100GB quota for RM218/month with varying monthly data quotas.

All these offerings however come with separate charges. For more details head on over to Maxis . Click for larger image On top of that, Maxis is offering preferential rates to its FTT...

Firefox 4 for Android is finally official after several beta releases . We tried their Firefox 4 Beta 1 which was rather horrid but Mozilla had constantly improved with each release after that. In fact, the latest beta release we tried on a Samsung Galaxy Tab worked pretty well and it is no wonder they have made it official today. So what’s great about Firefox 4 for Android? Well, it extends your desktop Firefox experience to your mobile device from synced bookmarks, history and even open tabs on your desktop computer. In addition, you can add on more functions with Firefox Add-ons. It also supports full HTML5.

1. Civilization Revolution If you’ve played any version of Sid Meier’s award-winning Civilization franchise, you’ll be instantly familiar with the iPad app. It compares very favorably with the versions of Civilization Revolution that brought the original PC strategy series to consoles, and will have a very small learning curve for anyone who has played the title on other platforms. If you’re not already familiar with the franchise, it may be easier to think of Civilization as a modern-day version of Risk , in which you choose a historical figure to lead your civilization in a turn-based scaled progression of time. As you turn your tiny village into a thriving metropolis, animated advisers help guide you through the finer points of diplomacy with your adversaries and scientific advancement through research. Unlike Risk , however, there is more than one path to victory — in addition to world domination, you can also win a match by technological advancement, cultural growth, or econo...
