Adobe update for Mavericks (Java 6)

As any other year, here it goes.
Mavericks (OSX 10.9) was just released for free! and even tho its quite a download (5.52GB) took just a bit of time and patience to update and get it running.

It looks almost like the previous version, Mountain Lion, and regardless of the many enhancements it has based on energy and memory consumption, for the common end user the update will be sort of a... small one, few new apps, few new daily used tools.

Adobe products have been always painful after an OSX update, and funny enough it's always about the Java runtime. Even they stated CS6 and beyond would be fully compatible with Mavericks, well... it isn't, you need either to update again the apps or update the java runtime.

So for those who are getting the java error (awkward... you get it just with few apps, not all of them), here's the link so you can fix and update it:

Java Support Apple Site

So go and get it, mhm.
Cheers

Demonoid is back...'sh.

You know the drill, tons can try to copy, few know how to do it right.
Torrent sites have been around us for a long time now, many of them got big attention, like TPB or H33T, and as many torrent sites most of them have been closed.

I do have my own POV bout torrents, I don't support piracy as its core states (stealing) but you see...
I don't support stupid people tho, at all... movies filmed in a cinema? da fuq... seriously, one thing is to get a dvd rip (by then the movie made a decent amount of money), another is to fkn kill the main concept bout movies (image, sound, quality) by filming it with a camcorder, ridiculous. Stealing is bad, no matter which side you're at tho.

Anyway, since this topic is way too ambivalent, I'll tell you what you already know... I hope.
Demonoid, was probably the best torrent site available, maybe it had less torrents and users, but the quality of both were trizillion times better than any other. Users were skilled, they'd interact in the community with proper info, feedback, files... it was very hard to find an ill or old torrent, quality was assured in most of them. Thanks to their "by invitation only" user system, the community was made and maintained by trusted people.

And of course, it was seized, and shut down.
It's been a year since the last try of demonoid.me was turned off, but as you can imagine, Demonoid is back. Different people behind it, they say they got their hands all over Demonoid's data from the seized servers, and made it available back again at www.d2.vu , their design is as you can see... identical, they just changed logo and colors, I tried my old user and pass, it worked which means, it is INDEED the full Demonoid backup running again.

There are no invitations for now.
Their torrent database is outdated since it comes from an old backup, but old users are using the beta system and uploading new stuff, little by little so probably it will refresh its content pretty soon completly.

So if you still remember your user and pass, go and try it, the beta test is for that, they claim they'll launch an alpha version soon if the system keeps stable so... let us see, enjoy, and as they say, remember... if you like it, BUY it.
