Ugly Christmas Sweater Company Announces Generous Donation Campaign

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tipsy Elves (http://www.TipsyElves.com), the Christmas sweater specialty store started by long time college friends Evan Mendelsohn and Nicklaus Morton, has been keeping its elves busy this off-season.  The company has not only revamped its holiday collection with fresh sweater designs and accessories, but it has also been planning a huge donation campaign.  With its "$1 for 1 Like" initiative on Facebook, the company is hoping to donate upwards of $60,000 in sweaters and other warm clothing items.

Tipsy Elves was started in early 2011 by Mendelsohn and Morton after they realized that the Christmas sweater market was underserved.  "Ugly Christmas sweater" or "tacky Christmas sweater" parties have been a holiday staple for several years, but there are very few places to actually buy these sweaters.  When they showed their first few designs to their friends, the reactions were promising.  After a few months of designing and planning, their Los Angeles warehouse was stocked with thousands of Christmas sweaters and accessories.  Tipsy Elves received some impressive coverage in its first season, including a feature on the Today Show, People Magazine and In Touch Weekly, as well as sweater cameos on several TV shows, including ABC's Wipeout. 

Mendelsohn and Morton have stayed busy in the off-season adding new designs and revamping the Tipsy Elves website.  New designs include the Yellow Snow Sweater, the Candy Cane Vest, and the Reindeer Double Date Ski Cardigan.  They have also stocked up with sweaters in dog and youth sizes. 

The duo also rolled out a new website, which is now even easier to use for the eggnog-impaired customer.  "We want to make the customer experience fun and easy," Mendelsohn stated.  "We now offer live phone support, faster checkout options, and reduced shipping rates for both domestic and international orders," he added.  Outside of the United States, Canada is the second biggest source of sales for the company. 

Tipsy Elves also gives a large chunk of its profits to charities that benefit impoverished families and children.  Last year, the founders attended a Christmas party hosted by a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization and distributed thousands of dollars of sweaters to families attending.  The duo recently launched its "$1 for 1 Like" campaign where it will donate $1 of merchandise and warm clothing for each Like it receives on its Facebook page (http://www.Facebook.com/TipsyElves).  If it reaches its goal of 50,000 Likes, it will donate an extra $10,000 in clothing, or $60,000 total.  The company has teamed up with several organizations that specialize in holiday donations to aid in this new initiative.

Tipsy Elves' unique twist on Christmas sweaters and their generous donation policy makes them a company to follow this holiday season.

Microsoft, Intel and RM Education Join Forces to Bring 1:1 Computing to UK School Children

SANDWELL, England, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

       
        - New figures suggest 1:1 computing can generate GBP300,000 in additional
          lifetime earnings through improved educational attainment
        - Launch of Shape the Future UK aims to bring 1:1 computing to schools across
          the country

    Microsoft and RM Education, in collaboration with Intel, have joined forces and now
proudly announce the launch of Shape the Future UK. Shape the Future is a global Microsoft
initiative that aims to close the opportunity gap between rich and poor by putting
technology in the hands of every child. From today, government-funded UK schools[1] will
be eligible for the scheme which provides a range of high-quality, affordable, Windows 8
devices with top-flight software pre-installed to students and teachers for their own
personal use. Available exclusively from RM Education, the devices include laptops and
tablets, powered by Intel processors, suited to a range of different users from
manufacturers including RM, Asus and Acer at more than 30% off RRP.

    And here's why: new figures from Experian[2] suggest that, for some children, home
access to a computer could generate up to GBP300,000 in additional earnings over their
lifetime; UK-wide this would amount to GBP6.6bn in additional income. There is a large
body of existing data supporting the educational and wider economic benefits of access to
ICT. Research suggests that of all the potential economic benefits derived from digital
inclusion, home access for children delivers the greatest[3] but, until now, there was no
realistic way of enabling it.

    Joice Fernandes, Worldwide Leader of the Shape The Future Programme, Microsoft, said,
"Shape the Future has the power to put knowledge in the hands of children. That knowledge
empowers them to shape their own future. I passionately believe that Shape the Future is a
true force for good - as has been proven with our projects around the world. I'm thrilled
that we are now bringing this programme to the UK."

    Tim Hatch, Director UK Education, Intel, commented, "Technology in Education is moving
into a new era of mobility and usage, with more and more students continuing their
learning beyond the classroom, especially at home. We at Intel are very excited about this
program and that we feel it will help bridge the accessibility of technology to all
students, with a scheme that is all encompassing and fair. We need our students from
whatever their backgrounds to have that equal start in life and help them become the next
generation of informed, flexible and collaborative employees."

    Mike Allen, Managing Director, RM Education explains why the three companies have come
together, "We all know how technology can deliver learning that is more exciting, more
engaging and more effective. Just imagine what we could achieve if every child, regardless
of background, had their own device. It's a great opportunity to close the attainment gap
and to level the playing field. I can't wait to start talking to schools about how they
can take advantage of the scheme."

    Shape the Future UK is being launched at Shireland Collegiate Academy in Sandwell, an
outstanding school led by Sir Mark Grundy, Executive Principal, which has provided 1:1
devices for the past four years. Kirsty Tonks, Director of e-Learning at Shireland said,
"Students who have had their own device are remarkably different learners from their
predecessors. Their abilities to learn independently and to push the boundaries of their
learning are both outstanding. We've never seen levels of progress as high as those we've
achieved with students who have had 1:1 devices. It doesn't come without significant
effort on the part of teachers, students and families to make it work but their stunning
results speak for themselves."

    Notes to Editors

    [1] - To be eligible, schools must fund the purchase of Shape the Future devices with
at least 50% government money.

Antix Adds Wi-Fi Direct Support to Antix Game Player

READING, England, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

              Games can be shared in seconds, enhancing social gaming experience

    New technologies combine to make social [http://antixlabs.com/press/socialMedia.html ]
gaming off-network increasingly convenient and compelling for consumers.

    Antix Labs has announced that its advanced gaming service now supports Wi-Fi Direct.
Games [http://antixgames.com ] that would have taken a few minutes to send from one device
to another using Bluetooth can be shared in a matter of seconds with Wi-Fi Direct. Users
can now distribute, challenge and then play in multi-player mode without any need to have
immediate access to a service provider's network or a router with data transmission times
cut by 95% compared to traditional Bluetooth technologies.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121105/573269 )

    There is clear empirical evidence that consumers prefer to play socially in immediate
proximity and across different devices. Combined with network operators' concerns of
insufficient bandwidth capacity and coverage, Antix provides a way for users to distribute
games off-network as well as over the cloud, beaming, challenging and then playing with
their friends peer-to-peer.

    Evan Spytma, Regional Director of Australia and SE Asia for PopCap said, "We've seen
how consumers can send Plants vs. Zombies from one device to another in a matter of just a
few seconds using the Antix Game Player [http://antixlabs.com/products/antixgameplayer ]
with Wi-Fi Direct. Within the growth and emerging markets of South East Asia, where
networks are overloaded and slow, this viral distribution capability has enormous benefits
to game developers [http://antixlabs.com/products/antixgamedevelopmentkit ] and publishers
as well as to the consumer."

    Francis Charig, Antix's founder, said, "Products such as Marmalade are developer
focused and designed to help reduce engineering time and cost. The Antix Game Player does
do that of course and provides comprehensive support for the cloud. But what makes Antix
fundamentally different from any other business today is that we have built a distribution
platform for high quality games incorporating a wealth of IP-protected technologies that
allow consumers to share and play off-network across different devices. We meet both
current and future demands of networks as well as utilize the capabilities in-the-home and
on-the-move of consumers' TVs, STBs, phones, tablets and PCs."

    NOTES FOR EDITORS

    About Antix Labs, Ltd. (Antix):

    Antix has developed the Antix Game Player incorporating a consumer-focused
distribution file format and service that makes games even more viral than music and video
whilst still protecting the rights and the revenues of the developers. For the full

NERC-CIP V5 Encourages Unidirectional Gateways

TEL-AVIV, Israel, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    The provisionally-approved CIP V5 standards address a wider spectrum of cyber-security
technologies than were addressed in previous versions, and in particular the draft V5
standards address and encourage the use of hardware-enforced Unidirectional Security
Gateways.

    Unidirectional Gateways are a secure alternative to firewalls, and are used in
defense-in-depth security architectures for the control systems which operate the power
grid. Like firewalls, the gateways integrate control system data sources with business
information systems through Electronic Security Perimeters. Unlike firewalls, the gateways
cannot introduce security vulnerabilities as a result of this integration. The gateway
hardware is "deterministic" - no misconfiguration of any software can cause the gateway
hardware to put the safety or the reliability of industrial servers at risk.

    CIP auditors increasingly encounter hardware-enforced unidirectional communications
technologies in their practice, and as a result, NERC publications increasingly address
the topic. Members of the CIP version 5 drafting team point out that this version of the
CIP standard was carefully written to encourage the use of strong security technologies in
the form of Unidirectional Security Gateways. The standards reduce requirements and
compliance costs for unidirectionally-protected equipment precisely because the strong
security provided by unidirectional communications warrant reductions in secondary
protective measures. This is the strongest encouragement the CIP V5 drafting team can
provide for a specific security technology.

    When addressing Bulk Electric System entities at a recent NERC conference, Tim Roxey,
NERC's Chief Cyber Security Officer, offered the opinion "When you are considering
security for your control networks, you need to keep in mind innovative security
technologies such as unidirectional gateways." He later encouraged entities to "embrace
the technology."

    Andrew Ginter, the Director of Industrial Security at Waterfall Security Solutions,
commented, "The integration of control system data with business information systems is
driving cost savings throughout the Bulk Electric System. Entities planning to deploy such
integration under the CIP V5 standards have two choices - they can integrate their systems
using firewalls and deploy costly documentation, processes and procedures to protect those
firewalls, or they take the straightforward approach and integrate their systems securely
using Unidirectional Security Gateways." He adds "Deploying strong security is entirely
within the spirit of the CIP standards. The point of the CIP standards is enhancing
reliability through improved cyber-security."

    All ten of the draft NERC-CIP version 5 standards passed ballot on October 10, 2012,
with each standard achieving at least a 2/3 approval rating. Final versions of the
standards are expected to be available within 3-4 months.

    Waterfall Security Solutions Ltd. is the leading provider of Unidirectional Security
Gateways(TM) and data diodes for industrial control networks and critical infrastructures.

Leading International Businesses Take Up Residency at MIRA Technology Park

NUNEATON, England, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

            Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and

                 Skills to open the first building completed at the site

    MIRA Technology Park, the 1.75 million sq. ft. technology park development granted
Enterprise Zone status in August last year, has reached the first milestone in its aim to
become Europe's most advanced independent transport technology facility - with the
successful completion of its Control Centre.

    The 43,000ft2 building, which represents GBP6 million of investment and is being
opened today by the Rt Hon Dr Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and
Skills, is the first new building completed since being granted Enterprise Zone status.
MIRA Technology Park has already attracted a number of high profile international
businesses. Bosch Engineering, Lockheed Martin, Ashok Leyland, Norgren and Triumph
Motorcycles have all have taken secure facilities on the 830 acre site and are being
announced at the opening ceremony today.

    Peter Fouqet, Bosch UK President comments; "The Bosch Group will be expanding their
engineering services to the Midlands, providing customised solutions and technical support
to vehicle manufacturers. Bosch offers bespoke engineering solutions for a wide range of
customer applications, from global to niche brands in sectors as diverse as automotive,
agriculture, construction, marine and rail. Bosch engineers located in the Midlands will
help transfer knowledge, skills and expertise, to provide a dedicated Bosch engineering
service solution for customer research and development projects in the UK."

    Terry Spall, Commercial Director, MIRA Technology Park Ltd, adds; "When we first
announced the development of the MIRA Technology Park in October 2010 we, and all parties
involved, were very clear about its potential to create jobs and attract business
investment to the region. We are delighted to be able to now announce the arrival of these
high calibre businesses who, by being based here at the Technology Park, are literally
placing themselves in the geographic heartland of the UK's automotive industry."

    Since 2010 a total of 188 technology related jobs have been created as a result of the
development and 145 jobs are due to be created in 2013. The aim is to create up to 2,000
jobs in the Technology Park's first ten years (up to 2020) and continue to build on the
success of the Control Centre. Planning application for the second development, a four
store office building, has already been approved.

    Business Secretary Vince Cable said: "The opening of MIRA's Technology Park is
excellent news for the Midlands. It has the potential to become Europe's largest
independent transport research and development (R&D) cluster. Enterprise Zone status has
helped MIRA to attract high profile names in industry to use the Technology Park as an
engineering base.

    "I'm determined to support investment in R&D because it is central to ensuring we can
attract advanced manufacturing companies and create more highly skilled jobs here in the
UK."

    Paul Cleaver, President of Norgren, one of the businesses that will be based at the
Control Centre, comments; "Our latest development work requires unique testing
capabilities in which MIRA specialises, making it the ideal base as we continually seek to
deliver Engineering Advantage for our global customer base. We will continue to tap into
the simulation capability and workshop facilities MIRA offers, as we embark on an exciting
project involving fuel efficiency for heavy commercial vehicles. This is research and
development for technology that doesn't exist today, but has huge potential in the near
future."

funded Motor Industry Research Association. The MIRA business is now known for being a
comprehensive transport engineering solutions provider to the automotive and defence
industries as well as engineering smart solutions for future transport technologies.

Confession Time! Sennheiser Makes Gamers Confess Their Worst Gaming Sins

COPENHAGEN, Denmark, November 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Staying late to do a report for the boss? Bathtub sprang a leak? Dog got a migraine?
Ever made an excuse to get more time gaming? It's time to confess. Sennheiser Gaming's
Facebook Confession Booth gives gamers the chance to admit to their worst sins, and best
excuses, to win an exclusive player's trip for two to the World's biggest gadget fair in
Las Vegas (and experience the nightlife, too).

    It seems crazy. Your family is in the next room or your friends are hitting the town.
Yet, all you want is "me time" with your favorite game. But how do you tell your nearest
and dearest that what you'd rather be doing is fire up the PC or console for a marathon
session of pixel-based escapism? You could be honest, but a real player knows the
diplomatic value of a little white lie...

    Research [http://www.sennheiser.com.au/au/home_en.nsf/root/press_releases_24102012 ]
by Sennheiser Gaming shows that the majority of gamers are living with partners, have
children and a demanding career. So with no time available, how is it that most guys
manage to get 10 hours of game time per week?

    Sennheiser Gaming is celebrating the love for gaming with a competition, inviting
players to share their best (or worst) excuses via a global competition on Facebook
[http://www.facebook.com/sennheisergaming ].

    Apart from getting the confession off your chest, the player with the best confession
will be awarded a trip for two to player's gadget heaven - the world's biggest consumer
electronic fair, CES in Las Vegas next January.

    As an added bonus to anyone who confesses a sin, Sennheiser Gaming is giving out
weekly prizes as well.

    The competition will run from October through to December 2012.

    About Sennheiser Gaming

    Sennheiser Gaming is for players for whom only the best is good enough. For more than
65 years, Sennheiser's engineers have relentlessly worked to improve sound. High-quality
sound is a daily luxury, and Sennheiser's headsets help players around the world enjoy
time with their games to the fullest.

Zaarly Storefronts: Discover Kansas City's Best Local Service Providers

Virtual Storefronts Create a New Online Marketplace for Talented, Local Sellers & Service Providers

KANSAS CITY, Kan., Nov. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When Zaarly Storefronts go live on Saturday in Kansas City, the city's thriving entrepreneurial economy will receive another boost; however, this time the focus won't be on emerging tech companies. Instead, Zaarly - an online marketplace - is launching virtual storefronts to help local service providers make money doing what they love.

Now, local chefs, handymen, yoga instructors, gardeners and other service providers can proactively list and sell their skills and services on Zaarly. The Storefronts provide a one-stop, digital shop where local residents can discover Kansas City's most talented, trusted service providers. Kansas City is the first Midwest location to receive access to Storefronts.

"Since our launch nearly 20 months ago, Kansas City has consistently been one of our most active marketplaces. In that time, we've uncovered this incredible network of skilled service providers," explained Bo Fishback, Zaarly CEO and Kansas City resident. "Each person has their own unique story. Some people are working side jobs to earn some extra income, while others are so passionate about their hobby that they're trying to turn it into a full-time business."

Say Hello to Kansas City's Talented Service Providers

Zaarly Storefronts will launch in Kansas City with more than 500 listings from individuals who come highly recommended by other Kansas City residents. Whether a buyer is looking for a baker, a landscaper or a custom furniture maker, Zaarly Storefronts is the answer. For example:

    --  Jamie Mahoney is a custom cabinet maker. After studying architectural
        engineering at Kansas State University, he accepted a job at an
        architecture firm. On the side, Jamie began renovating houses and
        discovered a talent for woodworking. Since then, he's channeled his
        creativity to design and build custom cabinetry and vanities.
    --  As a mother of four, Linda Williams was constantly baking. As she says,
        "What's a few more cakes here and there?" Her business began to take off
        after people would request her tasty treats for school events, potlucks
        and dinner parties. Hundreds of truffle cakes later, she loves
        sprinkling a bit of happiness in people's lives ... one cake at a time.
    --  Steve Snedeger is a plumber with 20 years of experience. After working
        for a large plumbing company, he wasn't comfortable overcharging friends
        and family for his services, so he decided start his own business. Now,
        whether someone has a clogged garbage disposal or an outdated plumbing
        system, Steve can solve their problem at an affordable rate, while also
        donating some of his time to charities in need.
    --  Michael Fisher is a lawncare expert, who started his landscaping
        business after it became clear that his job brokering mortgages wasn't
        going to last. Growing up with a father who always maintained a
        meticulous lawn, Michael knew he had the skills and experience to create
        a successful business. His offerings now go far beyond just mowing and
        watering, including all the services you could imagine to keep
        everything outside your house running smoothly, all the while helping
        Michael stay connected to his childhood.
Check out https://zaarly.com/in/kansas-city to discover more amazing Kansas City-based sellers and service providers.

Samsung Galaxy S III Mini Price Revealed

LONDON, November 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    When the Samsung Galaxy S III hit the market a few months ago, the smartphone world
was buzzing, with many rushing out to get their hands on one of the most feature-packed
mobile devices to date. Then, not long ago, rumours began to emerge about a smaller, mini
version of the S III, the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini. It was finally made official and,
yeah, it's smaller, but still packs many of the features that made its bigger brother the
must-have phone of the summer.

    Smart stay was a feature that many were intrigued with; stare at the screen, and the S
III Mini will recognise your face, keeping the screen bright until you look away. The
trick is pulled off thanks to some clever software that's coupled with the front facing
camera. It actually recognises your eyes and tracks them, enabling it to determine when
you're reading, and when you're done. It should help you save more battery life, and get
rid of some frustration from early-dimming displays.

    There's also the now famous Popup play feature, a perfect example of the easy and
efficient multitasking abilities of modern smartphones. This feature lets you open a
stored video into a popup window. This video is always on top, appearing above everything
else on the screen. You can move it around so it's not in the way, and it's really cool
for searching the web or messaging without having to miss your favourite show. The 4"
screen of the Samsung Galaxy S III Mini, while smaller than the larger S III, still offers
plenty of room. We'll get onto the advantages of the smaller screen a little later.

    The Samsung Galaxy S III Mini also has built-in voice control, which Samsung calls S
Voice. This lets you launch apps, make calendar reminders, search the internet, turn on
and off features and more, all with just your voice.

    Of course, the S III Mini isn't just a downsized S III - it actually offers a few
things the larger phone doesn't. For one, there's that smaller screen. While the current
trend in smartphones has been to increase the size, an extreme example being the mammoth
Samsung Galaxy Note II with its 5.5" display, smaller displays are easier to use,
especially with one hand, and mean the phone can be built to a smaller size, meaning it's
easier to carry around. It also helps with battery life - the main draw on a smartphone's
battery is still the screen, so a smaller touchscreen means less power needs to be used to
light it up.

    There's also the small matter of the S III Mini's software. It comes in the box with a
newer operating system, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This is smoother, faster and includes new
features like offline voice typing and an improved Google Search feature. There's also
blocking mode, a feature that lets you limit what your phone notifies you about. This can
be texts, phone calls or reminders. You're free to turn it on and off manually, via a
timer, and set up exceptions, so for example your best friend can ring you while you're
out, but no sales calls will get through.

    Finally, there's the price. High street and online retailer Carphone Warehouse
[http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/NEW-SAMSUNG-GALAXY ] is offering the Samsung Galaxy S

Online School iQ Academy Minnesota Expands To Include Grades K-5, Begins Accepting Student Applications

FERGUS FALLS, Minn., Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- iQ Academy Minnesota, an online public school program, is adding grades K-5 to its offerings and is accepting applications for new students for a second semester start.

The expansion means the innovative learning experience that iQ Academy Minnesota provides is now open to students in kindergarten through 12(th) grade.

iQ Academy Minnesota is an accredited online public school of Independent School District 544 that offers Minnesota students statewide a high-quality alternative to the traditional learning experience. The program has been educating Minnesota students since the 2008-2009 school year and combines personalized instruction from state-licensed teachers with the award-winning K12 curriculum to deliver individualized learning to each student.

"iQ Academy Minnesota and Fergus Falls Public Schools are very excited to have received approval from the Minnesota Department of Education to expand our online option for students to grades K-5," said  Jerry Ness, Fergus Falls Public Schools Superintendent. "Innovation is one of our District's core values - we believe that offering a variety of quality education opportunities will benefit today's learner."

Parents of iQ Academy Minnesota students praise the program's quality instruction, engaged teachers and flexible scheduling.

"My kids are responsible to their teacher and are becoming independent learners," said Tracie Christopherson, who has a 6(th) grader and 9(th) grader at iQ Academy Minnesota. "It is just so great that I don't have to be the only cheerleader because my kids know they need to get the work done."

Christopherson said iQ Academy Minnesota provides social opportunities that bring students, families and teachers together. iQ Academy Minnesota offers regular opportunities for face-to-face socialization, including such events as pizza parties and outings to waterparks, aquariums and baseball games. In addition, the program offers activities such as clubs, student government, dances, prom and graduation.

"My 9th grader said today that she feels more connected and has more friends than she ever did in a traditional school," she said.

Christopherson said she plans to enroll her 4(th) grader in iQ Academy Minnesota now that the program has expanded its offerings.

iQ Academy is powered by K12 Inc.

    --  Curriculum: iQ Academy Minnesota serves grades K through 12 using
        acclaimed, engaging curricula rooted in decades of educational research

        from state-licensed teachers who have experience in traditional school

        aspects of the online learning experience.
    --  Parents: iQ Academy Minnesota knows how important it is to keep parents
        in the loop when it comes to their children's education. In grades K-5,
        each student is required to have a Learning Coach (typically the parent)
        who assists the student through daily lessons. For grades 6-12, all
        parents are provided with Parent Observer Accounts to monitor their
        child's progress, and have opportunities to connect with teachers on a
        regular basis.
    --  Student Resources: Upon enrolling, iQ Academy Minnesota provides
        students with online planning tools, resources, and materials they need
        to thrive. In addition, the school offers personalized, extensive

        comprehensive K-5 program to provide young minds with a learning
        environment like no other. Lessons are supplemented with traditional

Smartphones get Lower Price, But Higher on Spec

LONDON, November 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    It seems that the feature phone, as some have called it, is looking to disappear
thanks to pricing strategies for smartphones. By feature phone we of course mean phones
that don't have powerful operating systems and hundreds of features - just simple phones
that text and call and little more. When you can get a smartphone for the price of a
feature, there's really no reason not to.

    One such device is the LG Optimus L3. With its small size and light weight, you gain
no advantage in portability in purchasing a feature phone. There's also the rather ironic,
considering the term 'feature phone', a huge boost in features with a smartphone.

    The LG Optimus L3 has a 3.2" touchscreen, something that allows an intuitive touch
approach to using your phone. Feature phones only have direction pads, so you have to tap
each time you want to go up or down in menus, text messages etc. The touchscreen is almost
worth the upgrade alone.

    There's also the matter of the LG Optimus L3's operating system, which is Google's
Android Gingerbread. This is one of the most popular smartphone operating systems on the
planet, featuring in millions of phones. It also give the LG Optimus L3 access to the
Google Play Store, something no feature can get to. This means the L3 can download and
install hundreds of thousands of apps, allowing you edit photographs, customise your
homescreens with photos and bespoke colours, access news reports offline and much more.

    With the power of the LG Optimus L3 - there's an 800MHz processor at its heart - it
can process tasks features phones can only dream of. Stunning games, music converters and
accurate mapping apps are just some of things you can do on the go with the L3.

    Then there's the matter of price. The LG Optimus L3 is priced so competitively that a
feature phone won't save you much. Carphone Warehouse
[http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/choose-tariff/LG_OPTIMUS_L3/MONTHLY/NEW ] is
offering the L3 on a pay monthly contract for just GBP7.50. You'll get free minutes,
texts, internet data and eve the LG Optimus L3 itself is free. Don't fancy a contract? At
just GBP49.95 from the same retailer, the feature phone's days might just be numbered.

Right Of The Dot(TM) (ROTD) Teams up With Escrow.com(TM) to Provide Neutral Auction & Mediation Resolution for gTLD String Contention

FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida, November 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    Domain Name consultants RightOfTheDot, LLC, announce today their independent private
auction resolution and mediation services for competing gTLD applicants.

    Hot on the heels of ICANN's welcome announcement of the drawing process, Right Of The
Dot is launching a private auction and mediation service to accelerate the process of
settling claims between applicants for the same new gTLD string, in turn reducing the time
it takes for new gTLDs to go live. Right Of The Dot has been granted a special Auction
License
[http://rightofthedot.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/ROTD-Auction-Business-License-for-Contention-Resolution-Services.pdf ]
, which specifically allows them to conduct TLD Auction
Services for new gTLDs.

    To further support new gTLD applicants in their auction process, ROTD has secured an
exclusive partnership with Escrow.com [http://www.escrow.com ] for the escrowing of funds
for the deposits and distributions of funds for TLD auctions. With a consistent A+ rating
with the BBB, Escrow.com has been voted the Best Domain Escrow Service for the past 5
years; is the only fully licensed online escrow provider in the United States and has
processed over $1 Billion dollars in transactions. This unique partnership will enable

    Right of the Dot to offer applicants many financial options such as interest bearing
accounts, so their escrowed funds can earn interest over any given period. "Escrow.com is
extremely proud to be working as a partner with Right Of The Dot," said Escrow.com
President and Managing Director, Brandon Abbey. "We have known the principals for many
years and admire their work. ROTD has clearly embraced innovation and we look forward to
helping them succeed in this very exciting business venture."

    Right Of The Dot's combined knowledge, experience and success over their 29 years in
the industry, includes conducting tens of thousands of auctions and hundreds of millions
of dollars in domain related transactions, both live and online. Utilizing their unique
perspective and neutrality, they offer valuable success fee-based mediation and
partnership brokering to contentious applicants as a first option in an effort to avoid
auction altogether. When auction is the only solution, ROTD offer new gTLD applicants
guidance on how to best mitigate risk vs. reward through the auction process.

    Right Of The Dot auction fees are competitive, starting at 4% depending on the auction
type, number of applicants for a particular extension, and the amount of the winning bid.

    The Right Of The Dot auction model would see auction proceeds paid back to the auction
participants rather than to ICANN. Resolving contention early will enable losing
participants to withdraw their application from the ICANN evaluation process and receive a
70% application fee refund if their auction is held prior to the release of ICANN's
Initial Evaluation and 35% if held after. The auction will be conducted at the time of the
applicant's choice rather than when ICANN decides to hold them.

    "A private auction or mediation resolution streamlines the process of winning or
losing the TLD. It enables winners to begin planning for the operation of the extension
and provides losing bidders closure so they can move on to other TLD opportunities," says
Monte Cahn, President of RightOfTheDot.com.

    "Unlike other auction offerings, ROTD have several auction models we intend to use,
depending on the choice of the applicants for a particular extension. We understand that
we are dealing with entrepreneurs with a variety of opinions on business models and
extension value, unlike a regulated commodity where you would normally see standard
industry auction processes," added Cahn.

    ROTD will provide 3 main types of gTLD auction (although custom auctions can be
arranged if requested):

    Second-price sealed-bid auctions: Bidders submit simultaneous sealed bids to the
auction house, the highest bidder wins the rights to the TLD and pays the second-highest
bid. That bid is then divided either equally by the number of non-winning participants, or
in proportion to the amount of each non-winning bidder's sealed bid.

    Ascending-bid auctions: These auctions are carried out interactively in real time,
with bidders present either physically (live auction) or electronically (online auction).
The seller gradually raises the price, bidders drop out until the final bidder remains,
and the final party wins the TLD at this final price.

    Live Oral auctions: Bidders shout out prices or submit them electronically. This form
of auction will be appropriate when each of the applicants in a contention set agree on a
specific time.

    In most cases, auctions will take place after the ICANN's Initial Evaluation is
released, the Objection period ends and after GAC early warnings are issued. However, in
some cases, it will be appropriate to conduct the auction prior to those dates if all
parties agree.

    Further details on the auctions and how they work can be found at RightOfTheDot
[http://www.rightofthedot.com ] or contact monte@RightOfTheDot.com directly.

    About Right Of The Dot(TM)

    The principals of Right Of The Dot have extensive experience in the domain industry.
They are experts in Domain Auctions and have been instrumental in premium domain
strategies and the launch of many TLDs including .Co, .Me, .XXX, .info, .biz, .me, .asia
and .mobi, over the last 15 years. This unique experience of working with all of the major
new TLD launches over the past 10 years allows Right Of The Dot to offer new gTLD
applicants guidance on how to best mitigate risk vs. reward through the auction process.

CIBC and Rogers complete the first mobile credit card transaction in Canada

Mobile payment launch marks the beginning of a new era in how Canadians
pay for everyday purchases

TORONTO, Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -CIBC and Rogers today announced they have completed the first
point-of-sale mobile credit card transaction in Canada using the secure
SIM card inside an NFC-enabled smartphone. Simon Whitfield, Pan
American Games and Olympic medalist, performed the credit card
transaction, buying coffee at Tim Hortons using the CIBC Mobile
Payment(TM) App on a BlackBerry® smartphone from Rogers.

This new way to pay will be available to CIBC credit card clients using
a Rogers smartphone, allowing them to pay for coffee, groceries, and
other everyday purchases simply by holding their smartphone up to one
of the tens of thousands of contactless payment terminals at merchants
across Canada.

"We're pleased to make history in mobile commerce in Canada by
completing the country's first mobile credit card transaction," said
David Williamson, Senior Executive Vice-President and Group Head,
Retail and Business Banking, CIBC. "Getting a coffee while you are on
the go is just one example of the kind of transaction that's going to
be made easier when you can pay in just seconds with a CIBC credit card
on your smartphone, and we're excited about the possibilities this
offers our clients."

"Canadians are amongst the most connected consumers around the world,
and we have put Canada on the world stage today as a global leader in
mobile commerce," said David Robinson, Vice President of Emerging
Business, Rogers Communications. "We are passionate about delivering
technology innovations and powering new mobile experiences for our
customers," said Robinson. "Making the first mobile credit card payment
means that we are one step closer to allowing Canadians to store
everything they need, securely, in their smartphone."

The new mobile payments capability from CIBC and Rogers means clients
will be able to pay with their CIBC credit card, whether Visa or
MasterCard, without retrieving the plastic card from their wallet or
purse. They can simply hold their Rogers BlackBerry® smartphone up to a
contactless payment terminal and the payment will be automatically
charged to their CIBC credit card. The CIBC Mobile Payment App will be
accepted at the tens of thousands of Visa payWave(TM) and MasterCard
PayPass(TM) contactless terminals across Canada and around the world.

As the rollout to clients begins, the new CIBC Mobile Payment App will
initially be available on two smartphones on the Rogers wireless
network - the BlackBerry® Bold(TM) 9900 and BlackBerry® Curve(TM)9360,
beginning November 16(th) 2012. As of today, NFC SIM cards required to access the solution on
Rogers suretap(TM) ready devices can be ordered online. Additional
suretap-ready devices will support the solution in 2013, including
Android and Windows Phone 8 platforms, broadening the offer to more
Canadians.

The initiative brought to market by CIBC and Rogers represents the first
time a bank and a wireless carrier have joined forces to offer a
commercially available mobile payments solution to Canadians that
leverages the secure SIM card inside an NFC-enabled device. This new
solution aligns to guidelines announced earlier this year by the
Canadian Bankers Association for mobile payments in Canada, as well as
those developed by respected international associations such as the GSM
Association (GSMA), the association of mobile operators and related
companies dedicated to standardizing and supporting GSM technology and

Canada is ready for mobile payments

This new mobile payment solution arrives in Canada at a time when
smartphone growth is accelerating among Canadians. A recent
Harris/Decima poll shows that 44 per cent of Canadians said they now own a smartphone, and within that group, 47 per cent said they are interested in using mobile payments.

"We've seen firsthand how quickly demand can build in other aspects of
mobile financial services such as mobile banking, and based on the
feedback from our clients we see mobile payments growing rapidly in
Canada in the coming years," noted Mr. Williamson.

Forecasts for mobile commerce suggest that it will become a significant
method of payment in just the next few years. By 2016, Technology
Strategy International forecasts that almost 80 per cent of the
smartphones in Canada will be NFC-enabled, and IE Market Research
forecasts total mobile payments in Canada will reach $14.2B.

"In a few years, a mobile wallet will be as common as a camera on a
smartphone. The opportunity in mobile payments for our business is just
getting started - our vision is to take the millions of cards Canadians
carry today and to make them instantly accessible and secured on the
SIM card of a smartphone," noted Robinson.

PR Newswire's Business Technology Round-up, 2nd November 2012

LONDON, November 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    NASA receives cyber security award, Regent launches new software and Ninja Kiwi
acquires Scottish game developer

    The NASA Ames Research Centre has been awarded the prestigious National Cyber Security
Innovation Award
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nasa-ames-research-center-wins-2012-national-cybersecurity-innovation-award-176834151.html ]
this week, in recognition of its efforts to
improve the United States' ability to weather cyber-attacks.

    Technology developed and implemented by the cyber division of the world-renowned space
agency allows government departments to search continuously for threats, whilst also
notifying system administrators of potential weaknesses in their security infrastructure.
This is all provided at an extremely low cost to the taxpayer. The US government is
preparing to roll out the system nationwide, and administrators are impressed with its
ability to identify potential threats. The technology also ranks security workers by their
ability to address flagged problems quickly, creating a positive performance culture that
can only be beneficial for the US cyber security industry.

    Regent Education, an innovative provider of system management software for educational
institutions, has announced the launch of its new Regent 8 software suite
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/regent-education-introduces-regent-8-176866121.html ]
, providing higher educational establishments with the ability to manage their
financial affairs effectively.

    The new software has been developed in conjunction with world class engineers and
financial experts, in order to create a leading product for the universities' market.
Regent 8 allows users to manage their student financial aid programmes more effectively,
meaning administrators' manual work is reduced by between 20 and 60%, freeing up staff to
tend to more critical activities.

    Both enrolment into financial aid programmes and physical payments are automated by
the new software, which also includes a financial planning application, and these features
are all backed up by a market leading user interface. According to Regent Education CEO
Randy Jones, the software is set to revolutionise "the way schools manage financial aid,
and is setting a new standard for cost control, service and compliance".

    Ninja Kiwi, a market-leading developer of Facebook based gaming services, has
announced its acquisition of Scottish rival Digital Goldfish
[http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ninja-kiwi-acquires-bloons-mobile-developer-digital-goldfish-176832901.html ]
, in a move that will bolster its mobile development arm and
improve its market position.

    The acquisition marks the culmination of years of collaboration between the two
companies, who have worked together to produce a number of popular mobile gaming apps. One
app in particular has now been downloaded an impressive 8 million times. According to
Ninja Kiwi co-founder Chris Harris, the combination of these two entities will "bring
existing Ninja Kiwi IP to a variety of platforms".

Marware C.E.O. Hybrid iPad mini Case Now Shipping

Sleek, Genuine Leather iPad mini Case Provides Stylish Protection and Performance

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Nov. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Marware®, renowned designer of innovative accessories that enhance the performance of mobile devices, announced today that the black C.E.O. Hybrid iPad mini case is now shipping. This multi-functional, low profile folio features a high-quality leather exterior coupled with a soft microfiber interior. The C.E.O. Hybrid also comes in carbon fiber, red, purple and pink; these colors are available for pre-order at http://www.Marware.com and will be shipping soon.

The C.E.O. Hybrid is Marware's signature iPad case, and it has a history of success with customers. The case gets its name from the innovative combination of a thin shell with the durable protection of a folio. It's the epitome of what Marware stands for: a versatile solution that combines design, protection and functionality. The C.E.O. Hybrid features three hands-free viewing angles, one typing angle, a sleep/wake lid and an interior hand strap.

"Knowing how popular the C.E.O. Hybrid series has been for us with other devices, we wanted to make sure we could get this case into the hands of our customers the same day the iPad mini starts shipping", said Marware Director of Marketing Ronnie Khadaran. "The first thing that goes through your mind when you buy a new mobile device is, 'I have to protect this investment.' Our customers can do that immediately with our black C.E.O. Hybrid iPad mini case. Our other iPad mini cases will be shipping soon as well."

Details on Marware's complete iPad mini lineup are below:

    --  The C.E.O. Hybrid ($42.99 USD MSRP), a Marware signature design, is made
        of genuine leather and allows users to stand their device at three
        viewing angles and one typing angle. In addition, the device features an
        automatic sleep/wake lid. The thin profile of a shell case with the
        stylish exterior of a folio protects 97 percent of the device when
        closed, and includes Marware's signature interior hand strap for
        one-handed use, offering superior versatility in a sleek executive-style
        case.
    --  The MicroShell Folio ($34.99 USD MSRP) provides sleek durability,
        combining a hard-shell with an integrated-stand folio lid for hands-free
        viewing and typing. Designed to keep up with a demanding mobile
        lifestyle, it showcases a metallic back finish and lightweight,
        multi-functional design that features an elastic strap to hold the
        sleep/wake lid open or closed.
    --  The DoubleTake ($54.99 USD MSRP) is an elegant case with bold
        personality and an eye-catching collection of color options. Durable
        dual-material composition offers enhanced protection and style. The
        automatic sleep/wake lid folds to stand the device for hands-free
        viewing or typing and is secured close with soft magnets. Additionally,
        the soft rubber inner layer provides shock absorption.
    --  The Axis ($44.99 USD MSRP), a genuine leather portfolio with a 90-degree
        rotation, allows users to adjust the iPad mini to portrait or landscape
        mode. With three hands-free viewing angles, the Axis holds the iPad mini
        securely to let you type, read or watch without neck strain. Marware's
        signature hand strap provides for comfortable one-handed use and a
        sleep/wake lid helps preserve battery life.
    --  The Vibe ($29.99 USD MSRP) stands the iPad mini in virtually any
        position for the most comfortable, hands-free experience possible. An
        automatic sleep/wake lid turns the tablet on and off to conserve battery
        life.
