FarmVille Surpasses 80 Million Users [PIC]

FarmVille, the massively popular Facebook game, surpassed 80 million monthly active users this week (source: AppData). Facebook has around 400 million users in total.

FarmVille has been a breakout hit, with its active user count growing by around 10 million users per month. Note that this isn’t simply signups: This is a count of people using the app at least once in the 30 day span.

FarmVille’s daily active user count is currently 29.7 million — that’s almost 30 million people using FarmVille every day.

FarmVille’s parent company, Zynga, was valued at 1 billion dollars late last year.

JJSplit - A free fast file Splitter and Joiner

Hi folks,

I've always been using the popular HJSplit for joining the files i've downloaded from the internet. But I don't like that for it's awkward look and feel. Check out this JJSplit which is far far better and faster than HJSplit.
JJSplit v1.16 is used to Split large files into smaller parts that end with the extensions .v1, .v2 and so on... for easier transferring over the internet or anyother purposes and also to join those parts(.v1,.v2 files.. and also .001, .002 files..) back into the original filename.

Download

or


Features

  • Option to delete the parts one by one while joining - a feature needed by most people.
  • Multithreading (supports both splitting and joining at the same time)
  • Portability
  • Platform-independent
  • Supports joining the popular .001, .002 splitfiles as well..
Advantages over HJSplit:
  • Very faster than HJSplit. Try testing with a stop watch.
  • Decent look and feel.
  • Ability to delete the parts while joining saving up space and time.
  • Single file for all OSes. (crossplatform binary)
Disadvantages:
  • Requires Java to be installed. (But the fact is, if you are downloading this, you probably already have Java installed).
