adams & weber GmbH and Ekahau Install a Location and Emergency Call System for Dementia Patients and Staff at Josef-Ecker-Stift in Neuwied
RESTON, Virginia, January 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The adams & weber GmbH [http://www.awcomputer.de ] company, an experienced IT-system
house in the Rhine-Mosel region, collaborated with Ekahau, the worldwide leader in
Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS)
[http://www.ekahau.com/products/real-time-location-system/overview.html ], to install a
WLAN-based locating and emergency call system at Josef-Ecker-Stift, a senior-citizens home
and nursing facility in Neuwied, Germany. The system monitors the movements of the home's
residents and, whenever danger threatens, it enables the care staff to speedily intervene
and thus prevent accidents.

Josef-Ecker-Stift in Neuwied places great importance on giving its residents - despite
their dementia -the privilege to move freely and independently throughout the building,
while simultaneously protecting them against potential accidents and dangers, for example,
falling in a stairwell. Josef-Ecker-Stift's director Siegfried Hartinger therefore sought
a location system that would assist the home's care staff with their work and speedily
notify them whenever danger threatens. He opted for Ekahau's RTLS Real-time Location
System. Ekahau collaborated with the adams & weber GmbH to install the emergency-call and
location system at Josef-Ecker-Stift toward the end of 2012.
The system monitors the movements of the home's residents and indicates the direction
in which each person is heading. It also monitors residents with limited mobility, for
example, people who rely on walkers. The system locates the Ekahau wristband tags which
the residents wear 24-hours a day, and continually notifies the care staff of each
resident's momentary location. This makes the caregivers' work easier because it
immediately notifies them whenever a resident approaches a danger zone, for example, a
stairwell, giving the staff ample time to come to the resident's assistance. It also helps
the staff avoid unnecessary footsteps because each caregiver knows exactly where in the
building he or she needs to go to find the resident who needs assistance. The location
system grants new freedoms to both the home's residents and their caregivers because staff
members no longer need to constantly keep an eye on dementia patients.
"We can strongly increase protection for our residents with the location system that
was collaboratively installed by the adams & weber GmbH and Ekahau. Our staff is very
satisfied with this system because it makes their daily work easier, helps them avoid
unnecessary walking and enables them to speedily provide assistance whenever an emergency
arises", said Siegfried Hartinger, Director of the nursing home.
Staff members are likewise equipped with Ekahau B4 Wi-Fi pagers, which they can use to
transmit an alarm from any location throughout the entire building. Previously, alarms
could be triggered only from individual, immobile, emergency switches. The new portable
pagers let staff trigger an alarm and summon a colleague without having to abandon a
resident and hasten to an emergency switch located elsewhere.

Providing an optimised environment for this advanced platform was a prime factor in its

responsiveness, it also operates to the same ISO27001 standards as our own business and

business critical storage platforms. It also provides the security, monitoring services
and site facilities which are important to colocation customers seeking a safe and

IDriveSync unveils Out of Box, Single Link Sharing, and Timeline

IDriveSync unveils Out of Box, Single Link Sharing, and Timeline
Lab test results also show that IDriveSync is the fastest file syncing service when compared against leading services.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading online cloud storage provider, IDriveSync (http://www.idrivesync.com/) released new features and many improvements to their desktop, web, and mobile apps.
Out of Box Sync
With Out of Box, data present anywhere on a computer can be easily sent to the cloud for later access through the web or on mobile devices. This feature is particularly useful for data not accessed daily but still requiring easy access from any computer, such as previous semester projects, photos, video collections etc. Those who prefer not to move folders to the dedicated IDriveSync folder or to have their data occupy local storage on all their connected devices will also find this feature very convenient. Adding folders to Out of Box is simple, just right click, and add to Out of Box. A separate UI is also available for managing all Out of Box folders from desktop clients.
Single Link Sharing
This feature offers plenty of flexibility to users by allowing multiple files and/or folders to be shared with a single link. For example, if someone has several pictures in an album but wants to share only a few of them with friends, they can select the files they want and share them with a single link; this way the recipients can view the files as an album rather than as individual files.
Timeline View
Offering an enhanced viewing experience, the new Timeline view sorts every photo and video in an IDriveSync account chronologically by month. This view includes photos and videos uploaded from all devices connected to the account. For users with multiple devices, this makes it much easier to locate photos or videos of an event without having to remember which device was specifically used to record them in the first place.
Pricing and Performance
IDriveSync offers the best value for storage among all online syncing services. Users can start with a 10GB account for free, with the ability to earn more free space; paid plans start from as low as $4.95 per month for a 150GB account and $14.95 per month for a 500GB account.
Lab test results carried out internally also show that IDriveSync has superior performance, being 31% faster than competing sync services when syncing up data from the desktop and 19% faster when uploading data via a web browser.
About IDriveSync
IDriveSync is an online cloud storage service specializing in file syncing and sharing. You can sync and share your data from your desktop clients (Mac or Windows) or from your mobile devices (Android or iOS). IDriveSync's heavy social network integration, unique Visual Sharing, and a rich Gallery View provide a user experience like no others. With IDriveSync, you will have the data you need anywhere, anytime, and on any device.
Headquartered in Los Angeles County, IDriveSync is created by IDrive, a privately held company specializing in cloud storage, online backup, file sharing, remote access, compliance, sync and related technologies serving the consumer, small business and enterprise markets. Core products include IDrive®, IDriveSync, IBackup®, RemotePC(TM) and EVS for developers. The company is one of the largest cloud service providers whose popular services currently host over 30 Petabytes of data.

Network Hardware Resale Kicks Off 2013 with Global Availability of Servers and Storage Solutions
New Offerings Support Businesses' Need to Expand Processing Power and Store Big Data
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Jan. 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Network Hardware Resale, the world's leading provider of pre-owned and new networking and data center solutions, continues to evolve the company's portfolio with the immediate global availability of server and storage equipment, as well as component upgrades from all major OEMs. The launch of Network Hardware Resale's server and storage business offers global customers the same quality, reliability, speed, and cost savings that they've come to appreciate from the company's networking business, and helps to maximize the lifespan and efficiency of their technology investments.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130130/CG50458LOGO)
Network Hardware Resale now offers new and pre-owned servers, storage and upgrades from HP, IBM, Dell, and SUN at an average of 30 to 60 percent off of OEM list prices. The company also announces the immediate availability of support and maintenance for all major server brands through the expansion of its NetSure(TM) Maintenance Program.
Maintaining its best-in-class testing facility with ISO 9001:2008 and TL 9000 certifications, Network Hardware Resale ensures the highest standards in equipment testing, customer care, and order fulfillment. Network Hardware Resale's quality management system is third-party verified to be among the best in the world.

"In order for us to effectively manage the deluge of sensitive data, we needed to increase the processing power of the network while minimizing downtime and high cost of an upgrade. Given Network Hardware Resale's reputation and expertise in quickly supplying customers with quality networking solutions, we were able to deploy the pre-configured server and storage solutions needed to better support our customers and their patients."
Network Hardware Resale is also extending its NetSure(TM) Maintenance Program to include the company's complete product portfolio including:
-- Complete hardware maintenance and support with savings of 50 to 90

spare)

-- 24x7 global technical support
-- Multi-generation hardware support, including hardware end-of-lifed (EoL)
by the manufacturer
-- Network Monitoring enabling the delivery, monitoring, and management of
critical network bandwidth and application infrastructure, including

-- Access to the NetSure Portal, a web-based portal that gives customers
the ability to view all NetSure contracts, upload and manage other
vendor support contracts, determine which support contract a specific
piece of equipment is covered under, and create and view service tickets
"Leveraging our company's 25-year history of providing quality and reliable networking solutions and equipment, the launch of our servers business is a natural evolution of our brand and is a direct response to our understanding of the pain points and needs expressed by our customers," said Mike Sheldon, President and CEO of Network Hardware Resale. "With the addition of these new offerings, businesses all over the world can take advantage of a hybrid approach of using new and pre-owned equipment to optimize strategic investments that will help manage the data deluge, while expanding the footprint of their network infrastructure all at a lower cost."

Ocean Optics' OmniDriver Spectroscopy Development Platform Updated
MUMBAI, January 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
New Features on Device Driver Software for High-speed Data Acquisition, Spectral
Processing and Data Analysis
Ocean Optics [http://www.oceanoptics.eu ] has released an update to its OmniDriver
Spectroscopy Development Platform. The platform-neutral Java based OmniDriver Version 2.20
provides a simple interface for programming of USB spectrometers, accessories and devices
in optical sensing systems, and is available with an optional set of spectral processing
math algorithms. New features have improved the platform's high-speed data acquisition,
spectral processing, data analysis, data visualization and data transfer options.
Photo:http://halmapr.com/oo/omnidriverV2.jpg
With native libraries included for a variety of Linux, Macintosh and Windows operating
systems, OmniDriver users can develop robust control applications without knowing Java;
the wrapper libraries provide an interface for most languages to link against. The
OmniDriver's platform- and spectrometer- independent programming means the same code works
with any Ocean Optics USB spectrometer. With Version 2.20's new "SpeedTest" feature, users
can determine the maximum performance possible for a spectrometer model on the Windows
operating system.
Also, OmniDriver Version 2.20 has more robust algorithms for photometry and
colourimetry. This is an especially useful feature when measuring samples with sharp
peaks, such as in narrowband sources like those used in laser projection systems.
For OEMs, two new command line parameters have been added to the installer for
customisation of the company and driver name. Drivers for three additional Ocean Optics'
devices have now been certified by Windows Hardware Quality Labs, meaning drivers for most
of the company's devices will install automatically when connected to a Windows 7 PC.
The OmniDriver's wrapper libraries include Dynamic Link Library (Windows), Shared
Object (Linux) and a .NET object (Windows). The software is compatible with a variety of
operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, 64-bit versions of XP, Vista, and Windows
7; Mac OSX 10.3 or later; plus many Linux x86 distributions (Kernel 2.4.20 and libusb
0.1.10 or later are required).

Ocean Optics [http://www.oceanoptics.eu ] has released an update to its OmniDriver
Spectroscopy Development Platform. The platform-neutral Java based OmniDriver Version 2.20
provides a simple interface for programming of USB spectrometers, accessories and devices
in optical sensing systems, and is available with an optional set of spectral processing
math algorithms. New features have improved the platform's high-speed data acquisition,

With native libraries included for a variety of Linux, Macintosh and Windows operating
systems, OmniDriver users can develop robust control applications without knowing Java;
the wrapper libraries provide an interface for most languages to link against. The
OmniDriver's platform- and spectrometer- independent programming means the same code works
with any Ocean Optics USB spectrometer. With Version 2.20's new "SpeedTest" feature, users
can determine the maximum performance possible for a spectrometer model on the Windows
operating system.
Also, OmniDriver Version 2.20 has more robust algorithms for photometry and
colourimetry. This is an especially useful feature when measuring samples with sharp
peaks, such as in narrowband sources like those used in laser projection systems.

Crest Financial Asks FCC to Block Sprint-Clearwire Merger

Crest Financial Asks FCC to Block Sprint-Clearwire Merger
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Crest Financial Limited formally asked the Federal Communications Commission to block the proposed mergers between Softbank and Sprint and between Sprint and Clearwire.
Crest, a substantial minority shareholder of Clearwire, argues in a petition filed late yesterday that that the proposed transactions grossly undervalue the primary asset sought in both mergers - Clearwire's trove of wireless spectrum. The filing notes that Sprint's offer for Clearwire sets the value of Clearwire's spectrum at no more than $0.21 per MHz POP and, perhaps, as low as $0.13 per MHz POP. By contrast, reports suggest that the purchase by AT&T of Verizon spectrum announced last week sets the price at $3.77 per MHz POP, many times higher than the Sprint bid.
The Crest petition asserts that an independent Clearwire would be financially stronger and therefore better able to help consumers who are eager for wireless services. Denying the mergers would be the FCC's best hope for creating a vibrant, third wireless network, according to the petition. The petition also alleges that the artificially depressed price of spectrum established by the Sprint offer harms the public interest by setting a low benchmark for future auctions of spectrum by the federal government.
The petition states: "Sprint has demonstrated its lack of fitness as a controller of Clearwire's spectrum, and the Commission should not entrust Sprint with the nation's largest portfolio of spectrum."
It adds: "Sprint has sought to achieve on the cheap what neither it, nor any other carrier, has the capital to do otherwise: buy the entirety of Clearwire's spectrum at fair market value. Sprint attempted to drive down the value of Clearwire so that it could acquire Clearwire after Sprint gained access to a funding source. But, absent Sprint's illegal maneuvering and control tactics, Clearwire simply has too much spectrum, of too high a value, to be acquired altogether by Sprint."
Crest and its affiliates and related persons currently own more than 57 million Class A shares, which constitute approximately 8.34 percent of Clearwire's outstanding Class A common stock.
Crest's FCC petition can be found here: http://www.bancroftpllc.com/crest/.
Separately, David Schumacher, general counsel of Crest Financial, said of recently reported talks between Dish Network and Clearwire: "As its FCC filing states, Crest supports the sale of excess spectrum by an independent Clearwire that reflects the spectrum values established in the recent AT&T/Verizon transaction. However, this spectrum sale must not be part of a larger agreement between Sprint and DISH that aims to carve up Clearwire's assets between them on the cheap."

Ringadoc secures $1.2 million in seed funding to bring doctors on-demand
With the ability to triage patient calls from their smartphone, Ringadoc is giving doctors their lives back.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ringadoc, the nation's leading innovator in on-demand medicine, announced today the public launch of Ringadoc Exchange and that they have raised $1.2 million in seed funding, led by Founders Fund's FF Angel.
In beta since August, Ringadoc Exchange gives doctors the power to triage patient calls using their smartphone, respond whenever and however they want-- ending the cycle of unreturned calls, frustrated patients, and overworked doctors. Today, Ringadoc covers more than 500,000 patients in 20 states through their platform.
"Traditionally, doctors have relied on 1970s-era technology to handle their after-hours calls. In an instant, connected world where technology quickly delivers whatever you want--from taxis, to books, to groceries--patients now expect the same thing of doctors," said Jordan Michaels, Ringadoc's CEO and Co-Founder. "We're showing doctors that adapting to the world of on-demand access actually makes their lives easier."
Key Highlights:
- Ringadoc gives doctors control to handle patient calls on their own schedule, using their smartphone.
- Ringadoc Exchange utilizes patented technology to triage patient calls, allowing doctors to respond to patient needs on their schedules, rather than an operator's.
- This app is available now in the Apple App Store and the Google Play store.
- Doctors interested in enrolling in Ringadoc Exchange should visit ringadoc.com/doctors. Setup takes just a few minutes.
- Ringadoc Exchange is free for three months, then $50 / month with no contract or commitment.
Ringadoc was built with the support of Practice Fusion, a leading EMR provider. Ryan Howard, Practice Fusion's Founder and CEO, serves on Ringadoc's board and was one of their first investors. With this funding, Ringadoc will work to develop the ability for doctors to provide cross-coverage care and premium access to paying patients, attract more doctors, and uncover new ways to provide revenue for medical practices.

About Ringadoc
Ringadoc is in the business of fixing broken doctor - patient communication. Cutting out the middlemen, doctors are able to triage their own patients, and patients are given access to a panel of high quality doctors 24/7.

Available now for download on the PC and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Home Turf introduces a customizable Base system for the first time to the popular massively multiplayer online (MMO) game. Players can now customize their own Lair, which serves as both a Base and battleground for new Lair PvP Battles. Through their Lair, players can harness new power and combat abilities through their new Mainframe to use on the streets of Gotham City and Metropolis.
"Every hero or villain should have a Lair, so this is really fulfilling a major fantasy for our players," said Jens Andersen, Creative Director, DC Universe Online. "The introduction of Lair PvP Battles also adds an entirely new level of action to the game, allowing players to thrash opponents in these new round-based duels. Whether as a way for gamers to express themselves through customization or to seek tactical advantage in combat, Lairs are rewarding for both heroes and villains."
All DCUO players will have access to a Hideout, a low rent version of Lairs with limited capabilities. The Home Turf DLC gives players two Lair Themes, with four additional Lair themes that are accessible in the Marketplace, and with more to come in the future. Players can customize their Lairs by collecting some of the hundreds of available items through gameplay.
At the heart of a players' new Lair is the Mainframe, which gives access to amazing new combat abilities that can be unlocked. Heroes and Villains can acquire a devastating Orbital Strike, call in battle-hardened reinforcements, acquire Supply Drops or unlock powerful new Mods. Additionally, a Lair can be upgraded to provide conveniences such as mail, vendors and Broker.
Along with the new Base system, Home Turf gives gamers access to new high end solo content, with new missions at four iconic locations: Stryker's Island, Arkham Asylum, Steelworks and Ace Chemicals. Each location boasts new exterior and interior content, instances and missions that breathe new action into the environments. These areas each offer players 10 missions to complete for 'Marks of War,' which they can use to purchase equipment, or convert to 'Marks of Triumph' in order to upgrade their Base Mainframe.
DCUO's Home Turf DLC pack is a free download for the game's Legendary members and is now available for $9.99 USD to Free and Premium players via the PlayStation®Network, the in-game Marketplace, or for PC players via the DCUniverseOnline.com website.

(Rob) Robertson, President and CEO of MedNet Solutions. "So we're working harder than ever to get the word out about iMedNet, and give sponsors and CROs the opportunity to see iMedNet in action first hand. We're raising iMedNet awareness, in part, by expanding our participation in leading clinical research conferences and events such as SCOPE."
SCOPE conference attendees are encouraged to visit MedNet Solutions' booth #21 in the exhibits area.

Bring Your Photo Gallery to Life with PhotoSocial for iPhone
PhotoSocial Delivers the First iPhone Application Designed to Instantly Organize your Photo Collection
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, 1UP Industries founder Jeff Bargmann, author of organizational lifesavers like "Stardock Fences" and "Bins," launched PhotoSocial, a new iPhone application that intuitively organizes your photo collection and provides a private social experience for exchanging photos with friends.
PhotoSocial: Photo Gallery Upgrade for the iPhone reinvents the concept of the photo gallery. Designed to feel built-in to your phone, PhotoSocial organizes your collection instantly and provides simple, natural gestures for helping you finish the job. It's the most exceptional mobile photo gallery ever made, and is the new must-have for anyone who takes photos with their iPhone.
"The photo gallery on the iPhone hasn't been improved since the iPhone 1," said Jeff Bargmann, founder and chief developer of PhotoSocial. "This isn't an app, it's a core piece of your iPhone made better. On top of that, it builds in a private social experience so that you can exchange photos with friends, then like and comment on your photos in private. Photos you receive save right into your gallery for you to keep, and are interactive just between friends who were there. This, is what a modern photo gallery is supposed to be."
The world's first upgrade to the iPhone's built-in photo gallery, PhotoSocial starts by separating your photos out by day, then adding functionality in subtle yet immediately familiar ways:
-- View photos full-screen, in a grid, and in the new stream view for more
casual browsing.
-- Toss photos off screen to move them to the trash; makes cleanup fast and
easy.
-- Name any day by tapping its date, and get to favorite albums fast from
the navigation menu.
-- Press and hold to reorganize.
In reinventing the photo gallery, PhotoSocial brings your gallery to life. With it, you can exchange photos with friends and interact privately between just those who were there:
-- Share entire days of photos instantly with a private web-gallery link.
No login, no hassle.
-- Send photos direct to friends' galleries, and receive their photos right
into your own.
-- Exchange photos, don't just share. When friends receive your photos, it
scans their collection and suggests ones to send in return. With
location data already in your photos, it knows when you and friends were
taking photos together and notifies you, making exchanging a snap.
-- After sharing, your photo gallery comes to life. Like and comment
between just the friends you've shared with, and view recent activity in
the Feed.
Say goodbye to forgotten memories and hello to picture perfect functionality. PhotoSocial is a useful utility with the added benefits of a built-in private social network. Within minutes of downloading the app, you're on your way to organizing your photos and receiving new favorites from friends. With PhotoSocial's instant web-gallery sharing, you can send not just a few but an entire day's worth of photos instantly via email or text message. Your photos are viewable on any smartphone or desktop, and friends don't need PhotoSocial to view the photos you send. PhotoSocial is the most beautiful, functional photo gallery you've ever seen, and will forever change how you think of your photo collection.
PhotoSocial is available in iTunes for an introductory price of $1.99. http://www.photosocialapp.com

Cut.com Launches - Every Deal. One Website.

Cut.com Launches - Every Deal. One Website.
SEATTLE, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Seattle Cut Media just launched Cut.com, the most comprehensive collection of high value deals in the world. Cut.com monitors more than 30,000 sources of coupons and deals, including thousands of Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, deal sites, and email newsletters to ensure consumers never miss a valuable deal again.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130129/SF45822-INFO)
The new website aims to address the two largest and most time consuming problems consumers looking to save money today face: finding the deal that saves them the most money and finding a deal that works. Cut.com monitors 10,000 Facebook pages, 11,000 Twitter feeds, 4,000 newsletters, and 5,000 websites to identify the highest value deals while filtering out coupons likely to fail. Cut's unbiased algorithm has filtered, sorted, and prioritized over 25 million potential deals to date. The Cut team expects to process over 175 million potential deals in the upcoming year.
The benefit of monitoring over 30,000 sources of deals means that if one coupon site has a $10 coupon off a shopper's basket of goods, and another coupon site has a $20 off a shopper's basket of goods, Cut.com will help ensure that shopper is aware and leveraging the most valuable deal.
Cut.com has partnerships with 2,500 retailers and covers deals from approximately 10,000 retailers including most major companies such as Home Depot, Macy's, Sears, and Victoria's Secret to further ensure that consumers are aware of the coupons and promotional codes most likely to add value.
To fund the launch of Cut.com, Cut Media LLC has raised approximately $5M in venture capital.

TrainSignal Releases Exchange Server 2013 Administration Training
Exchange 2013 training will allow administrators to be among the first to know how to deploy, configure and manage Microsoft's new technology.
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TrainSignal, the global leader in professional computer training, announced the release of their Exchange Server 2013 Administration Training.
New applied training videos by renowned Microsoft MVP, J. Peter Bruzzese, are now available for the Exchange 2013 platform. Exchange administrators of all skill and experience levels can benefit from Bruzzese's course because of the drastic differences in Server architecture compared to previous versions. The videos demonstrate how an admin following best practices for Exchange can continue to do so with a mail server that integrates more with SharePoint, mobile devices and of course Microsoft's much-debated modern interface.
For a novice Exchange user, they will learn the configuration process completely from the initial installation. Also, more experienced users will find the course useful for learning the updated interface before starting certification exam preparation.
The Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 concepts discussed throughout the course center around deploying and configuring services that are important for businesses regardless of software version in use. Viewers of the course will learn about:
-- Deployment decisions and prerequisites
-- Mailbox configuration
-- Mobile device management
-- Unified messaging integration
-- Disaster recovery and high availability
Course viewers will also see the benefits now offered with Exchange 2013 compared to 2010. Enhancements for SharePoint and Office 2013, new server roles and more are demonstrated fully to give an opportunity to learn the latest technology before most companies have transitioned.
As an expert in Exchange Server, J. Peter Bruzzese has authored several books, regularly speaks at major IT conferences and events, contributes to Redmond Magazine and Windows IT Pro, and has been honored as a Microsoft MVP. Bruzzese commented on the scope of the course, saying, "With Exchange 2013 Administration I'll take you from deployment through Unified Messaging and High Availability. By the end of this course you'll be able to fully administer an Exchange 2013 organization."
This Exchange Server 2013 Administration Training course contains 22 lessons in over 10 hours of video instruction. Students will receive 3 DVDs of video lessons and additional content. Each lesson is available in several formats, iPod Video, Mp3 Audio, .WMV and high quality AVI, allowing students to use course materials on a variety of devices.

GDC 2013 Reveals Return Of The Classic Game Postmortem Series For Third Consecutive Year

GDC 2013 Reveals Return Of The Classic Game Postmortem Series For Third Consecutive Year
Original Creators of Crystal Castles, Myst, Pinball Construction Set and X-COM: UFO Defense to Share War Stories In The Return of the Popular GDC Series
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- By popular demand, the Game Developers Conference (GDC) is bringing back the Classic Games Postmortem series for the third consecutive year with sessions taking a close look at four seminal games at GDC 2013. Organizers have revealed that postmortems for Crystal Castles, Myst, Pinball Construction Set and X-COM: UFO Defense are confirmed for this year's conference. Organized by the UBM Tech Game Network, GDC 2013 will take place March 25-29 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco, California.
The Classic Game Postmortems series provides GDC attendees with sessions that examine the development of some of the industry's most influential landmark titles. The series debuted at GDC 2011 as part of the conference's twenty-fifth anniversary celebration and has returned each year since due to its ever-increasing popularity. For this reason, the GDC has also begun to introduce Classic Game Postmortem sessions at its other conferences around the world.
This year, the original designer and programmer of Crystal Castles, Franz Lanzinger, will discuss secrets of the classic Atari arcade game; Robyn Miller co-director of Myst, the best-selling PC game of the 1990s, will share how he and his brother created a game that remains relevant more than 20 years later; Bill Budge, father of the seminal Pinball Construction Set will lay out one of the earliest examples of an in-game editor - a title that game developer legend Will Wright has credited as a key influence on the simulation games that launched him to stardom; and Julian Gollop will reveal tactics he deployed in directing, co-designing, co-programming and co-drawing X-COM: UFO Defense. Additional details for each postmortem are as follows:
-- Celebrating its 30(th) anniversary this year and notable for being the
first arcade action game with an actual ending, Crystal Castles broke
ground as a fast paced yet nonviolent 3D isometric game. The title was
Atari's first arcade game with an ingenious secret warp system and
impressed designers regardless of not using a traditional "attract"
mode. Franz Lanzinger, the original programmer and designer, will share
rare documents, sketches, photos, video and actual 6502 code with GDC
attendees during his Classic Game Postmortem.
-- Described as being an immersive experience that draws in players and
doesn't let them go, Myst is the best-selling PC game of the 1990s and
is also often attributed as the game that sold CD-ROM drives since its
majestic 3D world was too large for floppy disks. Developed by Cyan and
filled with puzzles and mysteries that unraveled in front of players'
eyes, Myst could be argued as a title that began the notation of
"experiencing" a game and not simply "playing" a game. Since its release
in 1993, Myst has been remade and ported to more than 10 platforms,
including most recently the Nintendo 3DS and iOS. In his postmortem,
Robyn Miller, the original co-creator and sound composer, will discuss
the road to making a game that is still relevant to the game community
two decades later.
-- Published in 1983 by Electronic Arts, Pinball Construction Set created a
new genre in videogames that encouraged user generated content where
players could trade personalized content via floppy disk. The game's
editor allowed players to construct their own virtual pinball tables,
and players could save these tables to disk and trade them with friends.
The editor's clean and simple interface even served as inspiration to
designs behind SimCity six years later - Sims creator Will Wright cited
Pinball Construction Set as his key inspiration while speaking on the
GDC 2012 panel "Forgotten Tales Remembered." Bill Budge, the father of
the seminal Pinball entry, will lay out the blueprints for how he
created his own game and one of the earliest examples of an in-game
editor.
-- Firaxis' and 2K Games' recent X-COM: Enemy Unknown is actually a remake
of a series that began twenty years ago. It all started in 1994 with
MicroProse's UFO: Enemy Unknown, entitled X-COM: UFO Defense in North
America, a real-time base management simulation with turn-based tactical
combat and an engaging story of alien invasion. The marriage of its
distinct Geoscape and Battlescape views represented the game's strategy
and battle modes, respectively; and they provided what felt like two
different and compelling games in one. In this postmortem, Julian Gollop
will lay out the tactics he deployed in directing, co-designing,
co-programming, and even co-drawing the first, and often highest
regarded, UFO/X-COM entry.
"Needless to say, we're very excited about this year's Class Game Postmortem series line-up. The four titles are so diverse and each one helped shape new game genres that are still popular today," said Meggan Scavio, GDC general manager. "It's always fascinating to see original design documents from influential titles resurfaced and to hear from the creators of iconic titles that we grew up with pass on their knowledge to the next generation of game developers."

Impala to Optimize Burnside Terminal Supply Chain
Quintiq selected for bulk terminal planning, scheduling and supply chain optimization
RADNOR, Pennsylvania, January 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Today Quintiq Inc. announced that Impala will utilize Quintiq's Port Scheduler
software at their Burnside Terminal. Quintiq's software solution will enable Impala to
maximize the throughput of their terminal, optimize the scheduling of barge, vessel, rail
and unloading/loading resources, and improve supply chain visibility across their entire
operation.
The implementation of the Quintiq system supports Impala's objective of transforming
the Burnside Terminal facility in Ascension Parish, Louisiana - which was acquired by
Impala in 2011 - into a state-of-the-art major bulk terminal for coal, bauxite and
alumina.
"Optimizing our terminal operations with the assistance of Quintiq will help make
Burnside Terminal an even more attractive place to conduct business," remarked Impala
Burnside General Manager, Randy Comeaux.
The Quintiq Port Scheduler system will enable Impala to balance their demand and
supply in order to optimize the use of the terminal resources and minimize demurrage
costs. The solution will provide Impala Burnside Terminal with a Key Performance
Indicator-driven planning process, which measures the quality of scheduling decisions,
minimizes planning efforts, and enables rapid re-planning due to schedule disruptions.
Impala identified all of these items as critical business drivers.

Android Tablet Pre-Loads NuWallet As Featured App
Gives Users Secure Control of Their Digital Wallet
DALLAS, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- NuWallet, Inc., a mobile personal information management and on-line payment application provider, announced the NuWallet app will be pre-loaded on all Android tablets by Rapids Wireless Corporation.
The NuWallet app serves as a digital wallet for mobile devices providing users complete privacy and security of their personal information, while also giving consumers flexibility in their on-line payment options - all in a simple-to-use and easy-to-manage application.
"Rapids Wireless was looking for a unique app that would securely protect the user's personal information," said David Thompson, CEO of Rapids Wireless. He further stated "tablets are the consumer's device of choice for accessing and storing personal information and quickly becoming the 'de-facto' device for shopping over the Internet. Having NuWallet pre-loaded on all of our tablets re-enforces the need to provide secure, useful applications for our customers."
In a feature called "MyNotes", the NuWallet app securely stores sensitive information such as passwords; banking/investment/payment account numbers; health & prescription data; insurance information; airline and hotel loyalty programs; car information, etc. "By storing personal information within the NuWallet app, it returns control of information security to the owner," said George Hendrix, President of NuWallet. "This technology all but eliminates the ability for a hacker to gain access to the user's personal information which is encrypted and can only be accessed by entering the user's unique security PIN. Having NuWallet pre-loaded on Rapid Wireless' tablets confirms the growing importance of protecting the mobile user's personal information," Hendrix added.
As tablets become more ubiquitous as the standard platform for on-line shopping, Internet-based merchants can now integrate NuWallet's technology to enable their customers a quick, single-tap check-out for mobile, on-line commerce transactions. The consumer has the ability to select which payment instrument they wish to use (i.e. debit card, credit card, merchant card, etc.) at the moment of check-out. This greatly simplifies the on-line mobile payment process and enables the purchase to be completed in just a few seconds.
Not only is the NuWallet app pre-loaded on the Rapids Wireless tablet, it is also available for free at Apple's App Store and at Google Play for iPhone or Android mobile devices.
About NuWallet:
NuWallet is a patent-pending technology of NuWallet, Inc. and was founded by a team of industry veterans with a vast amount of experience in credit card processing; merchant services; banking and cash management, and the Internet-security industry.

STROTTER finds the way to make iPads and other tablets even more mobile.

STROTTER finds the way to make iPads and other tablets even more mobile.
Introduces PLATFORMA and ACROSS - convertible bag and case for iPad allows user to work standing up with both hands free to type
PALM COAST, Fla., Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Conceived, designed and developed by the founder of Strotter, Serge Pylkovas, Across and Platforma empower users to work on their tablets while standing, allowing them to have both hands free to type.
Vertical messenger Platforma features a leather and high-density nylon shell, self-closing flap, custom polished hardware, and a quickly adjustable strap. A plastic snap-on cover secures the iPad on the bag when in use. The Across, a protective, wearable iPad case with strap, is made from genuine leather and lined with suede-like microfiber. Across also folds into a stand for typing and watching movies. Both products transform seamlessly into sling-type backpacks with one swing and one pull of a buckle.
Platforma, roughly 12"x 9" x 2.5", retails for $169. Across retails for $99. Both products are available at strotter.com.
Strotter will be showcasing Across and Platforma at the MacWorld/iWorld 2013 in San Francisco. Booth number 1049.
"I never liked holding the iPad in one hand and typing with another... Then I saw a guy drop his iPad when the subway train suddenly stopped," said Pylkovas. "I thought it would be nice to somehow suspend the iPad to protect it from a fall and so that both hands were free to type. The next morning I woke up knowing what to do...I also realized the bag may be used as a backpack, as an added benefit. I travel a lot and ride a motorcycle, so I thought the bag should appeal to commuters and travelers of all kinds, people on the go, and all folks who may need to work standing up. The design is very simple; the bag works together with a human body to form a mobile desk... Words don't do these bags justice. Please check out our videos of the PLATFORMA http://youtu.be/2rXQtwoqAz4 and ACROSS http://youtu.be/CMP9c8T9RRY. Or simply go to our website."
Serge Pylkovas, who worked as a financial IT consultant in Boston for many years and holds Master's degree in mechanical engineering says it took almost two years from the idea to the final product. Pylkovas now works full time running Strotter.

Hammacher Schlemmer Introduces The Pen Sized Scanner
NEW YORK, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its 165-year history of offering the Best, the Only and the Unexpected, Hammacher Schlemmer introduces The Pen Sized Scanner, a ballpoint pen that laser-scans documents as easily as it scribes notes.
The Pen Sized Scanner has a high-precision auto-focus lens and 5-megapixel sensor built into the pen that scan letters, recipes, or important documents as crisp, clear 2048 x 1536 pixel images.
"The Pen Sized Scanner allows users to scan documents anywhere and store the images in a device that fits in a shirt pocket," explained Hammacher Schlemmer's General Manager Fred Berns.
Pressing the shutter button halfway projects a visible red laser that frames the area to be scanned and the pen automatically focuses the image just before the picture is taken.
The Pen Sized Scanner has 1 GB of built-in flash memory that holds up to 1,000 scanned pictures in JPEG format. Images can be transferred to a computer via the integrated USB plug that is accessed by twisting the pen apart.
The Pen Sized Scanner captures up to 300 images after a one-hour charge via USB and it switches from a scanning device to a writing implement simply by turning a dial.
The Pen Sized Scanner is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $124.95. For more information about this product, please visit http://www.hammacher.com/83180 or contact Trish Hammond at (847) 581-8987 or via e-mail at pr@hammacher.com.

The Pen Sized Scanner has 1 GB of built-in flash memory that holds up to 1,000 scanned pictures in JPEG format. Images can be transferred to a computer via the integrated USB plug that is accessed by twisting the pen apart.
The Pen Sized Scanner captures up to 300 images after a one-hour charge via USB and it switches from a scanning device to a writing implement simply by turning a dial.
The Pen Sized Scanner is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $124.95. For more information about this product, please visit http://www.hammacher.com/83180 or contact Trish Hammond at (847) 581-8987 or via e-mail at pr@hammacher.com.

Drawp, New Children's iPad App, Brings Families Closer Together Through a Single-Swipe
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Drawp® (drawp.it), an iPad app that lets children create and share with the people they love, launched today and is available for free in the iTunes App Store. Leveraging Drawp's SimpleShare(TM) Technology, children can now safely share drawings with those in their parent-approved network over email or in the app - all through a single swipe.

According to a recent Nielsen report, 48 percent of children aged 6-12 in the US asked for an iPad last holiday season. With children's rampant usage of tablets and parents' demanding schedules, it is important for apps to be more than just e-babysitters and meet parents' and children's broader educational needs. Drawp was created to address the need for parents, family, and friends to remain involved and responsive in all aspects of a child's life.
Interacting with caring adults significantly benefits children's emotional and intellectual wellbeing, but with families living further apart than previous generations, children have fewer opportunities to communicate with the people who most care. According to an AARP report, 50 percent of grandparents live more than 200 miles away from their grandchildren; not surprisingly, 46 percent of these grandparents wish they could live closer and engage more. Drawp aims to connect children with family and friends through the simple acts of drawing and sharing, both integral aspects of a child's development and self-expression.
Drawp does this through:
-- Single-swipe sharing: Sharing is as simple and intuitive as a
single-swipe to anyone in the parent-approved network. Kids can connect
with grandparents or parents at work by swiping a drawing to their
profile pictures.
-- Collaboration: Drawp is designed with engagement in mind. Positively
reinforce and collaborate with the child by adding color or audio to the
drawing you've received and swipe it back to the child. Don't have an
iPad? Simply respond through email and it will appear as a Post-It note
on the child's drawing.
-- Parent-approved network: Parents can rest assured their children are
only sharing creations with those in the secure network curated and
approved by parents.
-- Dynamic and unique paints: iPads aren't limited by the physics of paper
and paints, so drawing apps should reflect that. Children can draw and
paint with clouds, cotton candy, or messy monsters, without leaving a
mess.
-- Multiple child profiles: Each member of the family has their own
personal profile to create and share.
-- Offline accessibility: Drawp is designed for families at home or on the
go with online and offline accessibility.
-- Better than a refrigerator magnet: Drawp is an exciting new way to
showcase a child's boundless creativity to friends and family over
email, social networks, or in the app.
