Alien Vs. Predator: Evolution available now on iOS and Android
Sci-fi third-person shooter Alien vs. Predator: Evolution is out now on iOS and Android. Players will become a member of both species and will fight against members of the opposing species, equipping yourself with various weapons and upgrading along the way. You start the game as either a Young Blood or Facehugger to stalk your prey.
Developer Angry Mob Games and Fox Digital Entertainment announced the news today that the game, which is based on the popular movie series of the same name, is available in the iTunes App Store, as well as the Google Play store for $ 4.99. Gamers will eviscerate “their way through several unique environments, earning character upgrades and learning new and brutal execution moves every step of the way.”
The game is based on the film duology of the 2004 movie Alien vs. Predator and the 2007 film Alien vs. Predator: Requiem. In the game, assuming control of an alien lifeform, gamers must use their various natural weapons like claws, tails, and shoulder cannons to make their way through hordes of space marines.
Whichever creature type you choose, though, gamers will be able to upgrade their weaponry with new abilities, and each species has its own unique skills, as well. For example, aliens can call facehuggers to their aid, while Predators can bust out net guns and proximity mines if need be.

BARCELONA, Spain–With another 2 billion people hooking up to the Internet in the next five years, there’s plenty of room for another mobile operating system, Mozilla Chief Executive Gary Kovacs said today in a sales pitch for his new Firefox OSFirefox OS.
Apple and Google have led the way in the smartphone market but can’t cover the whole thing, he said in a speech to thousands at the Mobile World Congress show here, though he didn’t mention the companies by name.
“I find it impossible to understand how 3, 4, 5, or 6 billion people are going to get their diverse needs satisfied by one or two or five companies, no matter how delicious those companies are,” Kovacs said. “Is the farmer in the Indian countryside going to have the same needs and requirements as a lawyer sitting in New York?”

Acer launches 16GB Iconia B1 Android tablet for €139
Acer’s low-end Iconia B1-A71 Android tablet made its debut at CES 2013, packing a dual-core 1.2GHz Mediatek processor and 8GB of internal storage. A few months later here at MWC, the company is introducing a 16GB model of the 7-inch Jelly Bean slate, and it’s on sale immediately for €139 (compared to €119 for the 8GB version). The higher storage capacity is the real story here; otherwise, you’re looking at the same 1,024 x 600 display, 0.3-megapixel camera and lightweight plastic build. Like the version announced at CES, the B1 is available in Africa, Europe and the Middle East but not North America. Cruise past the break for the press release.
