Users will be able to choose from a range of SSL providers from within the app, before
using its intuitive interface to purchase a certificate via PayPal; customers can choose
from top providers including Symantec and GeoTrust. Certs 4 Less has worked hard to create
a fully functional app, with customers able to take advantage of all the special offers
made available to the full website users.
According to company CEO Eric Holtzman, "we want to offer the mobile user a quick and
simple way to navigate and select an SSL Certificate or Code Signing Certificate and then

, following a no-expenses-spared event in the centre of London. The
Nokia Lumia 920 launched in front of thousands of supporters, with the event also playing
host to legendary DJ deadmau5, who provided a spectacular music and light show in London's
Flat Iron Square this week. Nokia is pinning its future on the new smartphone, which is
one of the first to use the brand new Windows 8 mobile platform.
The state of the art device encapsulates a whole range of the latest mobile
technologies, including wireless charging, a glove compatible touch screen and "floating
lens technology," allowing users to take photos with five times more light exposure than
the average smartphone. According to Nokia VP Conor Pierce, the Lumia 920 is "one of the
most exciting phones we've launched."
SAIC, a company specialising in the development of technology for the national
security market, has been awarded a major service contract

by the US Army, with a remit to implement multiple operational
support technologies over the next three and a half years.
The contract is valued at $149million if all extension options are used, and will
involve various IT design projects and repair services, ensuring that the military's IT
services are running in a "timely, relevant and accurate manner." According to SAIC SVP
John Thomas, the company is looking "forward to leveraging our strong relationship with
the US Army... to provide reliable information technology design."
