Politics Are Brewing at 7-Eleven®

Retailer Invites Americans to Vote in Fourth 7-Election(TM) Presidential Coffee Cup Poll

DALLAS, Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Every four years, some things happen like clockwork - leap year, the summer and winter Olympic games, U.S. presidential elections, and with it, 7-Eleven(®)'s 7-Election((TM))Presidential Coffee Cup Poll.

(Photo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120913/DA73591)

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101208/DA14293LOGO)

In past years, millions of everyday Americans have participated in the 7-Election vote as they go about their daily routines. While many states offer early voting that typically begins a few days before Election Day (Tuesday, Nov. 6), the 2012 7-Election voting starts really early - September.

Billed as unabashedly unofficial and unscientific, 7-Election invites customers to vote by selecting specially marked coffee cups, blue for President Barack Obama and red for former Gov. Mitt Romney. 7-Eleven's regular "nonpartisan" cups are also available for undecided customers or those who would rather not publicize their presidential preference. Patriotic coffee-drinkers can vote at participating 7-Eleven stores as early and as often as they want in the two months leading up to the national election.

7-Election cups are instantly tabulated at the register when the sale is made. National, state and major market results will be posted daily on http://www.7-election.com, a website created especially for the coffee-cup poll. Poll tallies will reflect the percentage of candidate cups sold to date, not including 7-Eleven's regular ("undecided") cups. Participating 7-Eleven stores are encouraged to post their stores' latest race results at the hot beverage islands.

"Each day, almost 7 million Americans visit our neighborhood stores on their way to work, after school or while they're out and about. Around 1 million of those purchase a cup of 7-Eleven coffee," said 7-Eleven, Inc. President and CEO Joe DePinto. "While we have never billed 7-Election as scientific or statistically valid, it is astounding just how accurate this simple count-the-cups poll has been - election after election. We have had a lot of fun with it, and I hope we have encouraged people how important it is to vote in the real election."

7-Eleven has added several new elements to perk up the company's 2012 campaign including its second annual CofFREE Day, Friday, Sept. 28. As a nod to National Coffee Day (officially on Saturday, Sept. 29), which occurs during the 7-Election campaign, 7-Eleven encourages people to stop by stores and vote their choices. Between 6 and 10 a.m. that day, customers can vote by selecting a free large cup of coffee in their preferred blue or red cup. During that same time period, nonpartisan large-size 7-Eleven cups also are available for free. This is the first CofFREE Day held during 7-Election, and voter turnout is expected to be strong - as is the coffee.

New this year, 7-Eleven has partnered with The Onion, a popular, Peabody award-winning news satire organization, to help get out the vote. The retailer is sponsoring The Onion's "War for the White House" news coverage, which includes four exclusive news vignettes that can be seen on Onion News and the 7-Election website.

Also, a special "Mobile Oval"political party bus featuring a mini-presidential Oval Office on wheels will be traversing the country from Friday, Sept. 28, through Election Day, Nov, 6. The very-visible vehicle will make multiple campaign stops, with the 7-Eleven grassroots team offering free coffee samples, handing out coupons and taking photos of visitors in the Mobile Oval or with their favorite candidate. Tweets from the road will appear on Twitter (#mobileoval), and a map highlighting the bus route will be updated regularly on the 7-Election website.

Other elements of 2012 7-Election include a grassroots-on-wheels campaign. Festooned with backdrops that include life-sized likenesses of each of the two candidates, 7-Eleven sampling buses are serving up both great coffee and photo opportunities with their favorite two-dimensional candidate through Election Day.

Since 2000, 7-Eleven "coffee cup-voters" have successfully predicted the winner in each presidential election, giving 7-Election a better track record than some well-known statistically valid polls. Past 7-Election results compared to actual vote tallies were:

    2000 Election              7-Election                 U.S. Voters
                               ----------                 -----------
            George W. Bush*    21 percent**               48.4 percent
            Al Gore            20 percent**               47.9 percent

    2004 Election
            George W. Bush*    51 percent                 50.7 percent
            John Kerry         49 percent                 48.3 percent

    2008 Election
            John McCain        46 percent                 45.7 percent
            Barack Obama*      52 percent                 52.9 percent

    *Elected.
    **In the 2000 7-Election, all cup
     sales, including unmarked
     "nonpartisan" cups, were
     tallied. In subsequent years,
     only the candidate cups were
     included in the results.
7-Eleven customers also will see the return of vanilla-flavored "Purple for the People" Slurpee® drinks at participating 7-Eleven stores, billed as a "peace-maker" beverage to unite the country. During the contentious mid-term 2010 elections, 7-Eleven created the unifying purple drink to symbolically unite the red and blue sides of the political spectrum.

7-Eleven was the first U.S. retailer to offer fresh-brewed coffee in to-go cups back in the mid 1960s. It proved an instant success. Customers liked fixing their coffee the way they wanted it - choosing cup size, regular or decaffeinated, and adding sweeteners and creamers to suit their tastes. Today, 7-Eleven sells more fresh-brewed coffee than anything else - 1 million cups per day. In each of the past 7-Election polls, more than 6 million candidate cups were cast.

While a nonpartisan beverage enjoyed by Democrats and Republicans alike, coffee does have deep political roots in American history. In 1607, Captain John Smith in Virginia introduced coffee in America, and it was named the national beverage by the First Continental Congress after the Boston Tea Party.

What's Brewing during 7-Election 2012

How to Vote - It's easy. Visit a participating 7-Eleven store. Head to the hot beverage (coffee) bar. Select a blue cup for Obama or a red cup for Romney. Fill with hot drink and customize, if desired, with free creamers, syrups and sweeteners. Take to the cash register. When the UPC code is scanned, the cup's vote is counted. National, state and major market results are posted at the end of the day on the 2012 7-Election website at http://www.7-election.com. People are invited to vote as often as they want.

CofFREE Day - It promises to be an election free-for-all. 7-Eleven will pour it on Friday, Sept. 28. That's when customers are invited to stop by a participating 7-Eleven store and vote by selecting a free, large-size red or blue cup of coffee between 6 and 10 a.m.

Mobile Oval Tour - This political party bus is on the campaign trail, crossing the country starting on CofFREE Day, Friday, Sept. 28 through Election Day, Nov. 6. Inside is a mini-replica of the Presidential Oval office, where visitors can have their oh-so-official-looking photos made. Scheduled stops and photos will be posted on 7-Election.com, 7-Eleven's Facebook fan page and Twitter feed.

Sampling Trucks - Sampling trucks with larger-than-life backdrops of the two candidates will be showing up at local events during the 7-Election campaign. As with the Mobile Oval Office, people will be invited to enjoy a cup of 7-Eleven java and have their photos taken with their favorite candidate between Sept. 6 and Nov. 6.

Purple for the People (P4P) Slurpee Drinks - The beverage that was born during the mid-term 2010 elections is back in a favorite nonpartisan flavor, vanilla. Red and blue makes purple, of course, and this vanilla-flavor blend targets those who want to lower the heat of the campaign. As the "peacemaker" choice, the P4P frozen beverage is featured on the Slurpee Facebook page that offers buy-one-get-one coupons that friends can send to stop a heated debate or cool hot heads. Consider it an apolitical Brainfreeze® beverage. An easy-to-use purple debate-blocker can be downloaded to offer a visual cue that one is retreating from the political games-playing.

The Onion - This cheeky news outlet is popular with those who don't always take the news of the day too seriously. As the sole sponsor of The Onion's 2012 War for the White House coverage, 7-Eleven will be popping up on The Onion's website. Exclusive video content will be featured on the 7-Election website as well.

7-Election Website, API and Social Media - The 7-Election website is buzzing with information including daily cup counts nationally, by state and major markets ... exclusive videos from The Onion ... free downloads like masks, flags and do-it-yourself confetti ... updates on the Mobile Oval Tour (see above) and more.

7-Eleven also has developed its first open API (application programming interface) and three plug-in widgets to make the latest 7-Election cup results available to third-party mobile apps, websites and digital media. The 7-Election API allows election followers to check national, state and major market cup-voting results on a variety of virtual locations.

Seeing Stars - As if Blue and Red coffee cups aren't enough, 7-Eleven also will debut fresh-baked-daily patriotic donuts. Look for the star-shaped donuts with red or blue icing. They're just for fun ... and deliciousness. Donuts do not count as votes in 7-Election.

DNA Dynamics Update On Games Development

New Sports Game in the Works

LEAMINGTON SPA, England, Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --DNA Dynamics, Inc. (OTC Pink: DNAD),a global developer and publisher of mobile video games and applications, is today updating the markets on it's current games and what's in its development pipeline.

Warheads Battle
As we recently announced, "Warheads Medieval Tales" has successfully made the transition to "Warheads Battle" along with pulling in over 100,000 players.  This update to the game overhauls the 'new player experience', making it easier for players to get into the game and to progress.  Building upon those principals, today we are submitting another new update of the game into the AppStore.  This update is focused on increasing player retention over the long term and engaging our players in a much more effective way.  The third iteration of the updated Warheads Battle will be completed by the mid-November - this version aims to start the journey towards an increase in revenue and focuses on monetization.  A host of new features are set to be included and we believe it really will now start to become one of our more successful titles.

Kevin Corti, recently appointed Head of Studio commented, "taking Warheads back to basics was the first thing I did when I came on board at DNA. The game shows so much promise, however, it missed the mark on several fronts.  It was bringing in an impressive amount of users and had great reviews in the industry as well as on the AppStores, but that was not reflected in the revenue it was hitting - this landscape is changing and, with these releases, I cannot wait to see the revenue start to increase over the coming weeks."

The Naked Gun
Another DNA property undergoing a change is "The Naked Gun", with an updated version of the original game featuring improved visuals and increases in device compatibility. This new version is now live in the Apple AppStore. A second new version of the title, which is 'Free to Download', is also now available in the AppStore.  Once players reach a certain point in this free version they will then have to update the game via an in-app purchase to continue.  We feel that this approach will help us reach out to a whole new audience and engage with a playerbase that would never have experience what The Naked Gun has to offer.

Looking Ahead - an exciting new title on the works.
We have recently started work on a social sports title; the game is based around one of the best-loved sports in North America and is our first truly casual social title.  There is currently nothing like this game in the marketplace and all at DNA are greatly looking forward to its release in Q1 2013. We're currently speaking with a number of major publishers and marketing partners to bring this game to market and have already received substantial interest from several parties. We expect to be in a position to sign a key new partner to help us take this to market after the GDC Online event in October 2012.

Ed Blincoe, DNA Dynamics CEO, said "Taking this social mobile approach to our upcoming sports game is a vital step forward for DNA, we're ploughing everything we have into this title to make sure it's a huge success for us and our shareholders.  I can't wait to share the details of the game over the coming months and we will be inviting a small group of our current shareholder base to help us test and shape the product once we get into the beta phase of development."

HGST Announces Radically New, Helium-Filled Hard Disk Drive Platform

Innovative Platform Indefinitely Extends 3.5-inch Form Factor, Offering Greater Capacity and Significantly Reduced Total Cost of Ownership for Corporate and Cloud Datacenters;

HGST Demonstrates New Platform at WDC's Investor Day

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- HGST (formerly Hitachi Global Storage Technologies and now a Western Digital company, NASDAQ: WDC) today announced a new helium-filled hard disk drive (HDD) platform, which is at the forefront of advanced technology for increasing capacity and significantly reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) for enterprise and cloud customers.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120913/LA73138LOGO)

With products expected in 2013, the new platform enables HGST to go beyond its award-winning five-platter design, providing a path for higher capacity storage and lower customer TCO for years to come. With industry-wide challenges in scaling current areal density technologies, this new platform allows HGST to design seven-platter drives in a standard 3.5-inch form factor that will cost-effectively extend the capacity and cost-per-gigabyte curve for many product generations to come. In addition, the inherent benefits of the platform, including the helium fill, allow HGST to significantly improve datacenter TCO on virtually every level: capacity, power, cooling and storage density. 

New Platform for Reducing TCO
With the explosion of data resulting from mobile devices, Internet services, social media and business applications, corporate, cloud and big data customers are constantly looking for ways to improve their storage infrastructure costs and their bottom line.  Also, new storage models, such as cold storage, are evolving in ways that require enormous amounts of data to be stored and available within a moment's notice. These hyperscale datacenters must deploy massive amounts of storage with the best TCO to help them manage their costs and growing storage needs. And when it comes to TCO, numbers matter most - cost-per-terabyte, watt-per-TB, TB-per-system weight and TB-per-square foot.

The density of helium is one-seventh that of air, delivering significant advantages to HGST's sealed-drive platform. The lower density means dramatically less drag force acting on the spinning disk stack so that mechanical power into the motor is substantially reduced. The lower helium density also means that the fluid flow forces buffeting the disks and the arms, which position the heads over the data tracks, are substantially reduced allowing for disks to be placed closer together (i.e., seven disks in the same enclosure) and to place data tracks closer together (i.e., allowing continued scaling in data density). The lower shear forces and more efficient thermal conduction of helium also mean the drive will run cooler and will emit less acoustic noise.

"The benefits of operating a HDD with helium fill have been known for a long time. The breakthrough is in the product and process design, which seals the helium inside the HDD enclosure cost effectively in high-volume manufacturing," said Steve Campbell, chief technology officer at HGST.  "We are excited about the introduction of this platform, which demonstrates HGST technology leadership and is the result of more than six years of development in materials science, mechanical engineering and process technology. Thanks to the hard work of our research and engineering teams, our initial pilot lines are up and operational, putting HGST in position to introduce this technology first into the market."

"As a technology innovator, HGST continues to invest in multiple R&D efforts that will help us win new customers, gain deeper market penetration and deliver a significant return on investment for our customers," said Mike Cordano, president of HGST. "Our new breakthrough platform delivers unprecedented innovation with new features optimized to meet the performance, scalability, efficiency and TCO demands of both corporate and cloud datacenters, which could not be achieved using conventional techniques. With these improvements, customer interest has been positive and we look forward to qualifying our new drives in 2013."

The new, helium-filled sealed-drive platform is being demonstrated today at the Western Digital Investor event in Irvine, California. At the event, HGST is comparing the power consumption between a helium-filled drive and an equivalent air-filled drive side-by-side, demonstrating a reduction in power consumption for the helium-filled drive of 23 percent. Taking into account the extra capacity coming from two additional disks, the improvement in watts-per-TB is 45 percent. In addition to consuming less power, the drive operates four degrees Celsiuscooler, requiring less cooling in the system rack and data center. This reduction in power and associated cooling cost significantly contributes to the lower TCO of the helium-filled platform. The critical watt-per-TB metric will further improve over time as the helium-filled drive platform enables significantly higher drive capacities in future product generations. 

HGST will release specific capacities points and product specifications when the platform launches in 2013.

About HGST
HGST (formerly known as Hitachi Global Storage Technologies or Hitachi GST), a Western Digital company, develops advanced hard disk drives, enterprise-class solid state drives, innovative external storage solutions and services used to store, preserve and manage the world's most valued data.

Locaid Launches IP Location, Creates First Multi-Source Location-as-a-Service For Billions Of Connected Devices

Combination of IP and Mobile Location Is Critical for Today's Mobile Advertising, Location-Based Marketing, Fraud Protection and Compliance Requirements

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Locaid, the world's largest Location-as-a-Service company, today launched Locaid IP Location(TM), a new service that accurately determines the location of any Internet-connected device through the combination of Internet Protocol (IP) and mobile location. This combination further strengthens the capability to authenticate a person or device's physical location and prevent location spoofing, which is critically important in applications such as banking, gaming, mobile marketing, fraud prevention and compliance.

Part of the company's Location-as-a-Service platform, Locaid IP Location offers enterprises, service providers and app developers a means to identify the true location of the more than 9 billion connected devices today, a number that industry experts expect will grow to 50 billion by the end of the decade. By adding real-time, non-spoofable network-based mobile location to IP location, developers can achieve a high measure of granularity in locating users who initiate online transactions and ensure much more reliable location authentication.

"With more and more consumer devices being connected to the Internet, including cars, Google Goggles and even televisions, the diversity and number of devices that we can now locate is staggering," said Rip Gerber, Locaid President & CEO. "We can now locate them all, billions of devices, anywhere in the world, making this combination of mobile network location with IP location a historic moment in the location industry."

Locaid IP Location determines the physical location of website visitors anywhere in the world using the unique IP address of the device that initiates an Internet session. The solution provides location information about the connection originator, such as latitude/longitude, state and zip code as well as other valuable network connection attributes, home/business identifier and standard industry codes.

In cases where location compliance is critical, as in gaming or digital rights management, IP intelligence data such as identified anonymous proxy usage can highlight potentially suspect location data and indicate the need for additional location validation. Using mobile location, developers can perform that validation by obtaining real-time, unspoofable location data.

"By integrating mobile with IP location, Locaid delivers a more accurate and verifiable location profile of customers and devices to advertisers, marketers, financial institutions and gaming platforms," added Walter Beisheim, Senior Vice President of Locaid. "The combination significantly improves the reliability and value of key attributes of website visitors such as zip code, DMA and Internet connection type, and marks a new industry benchmark for location authentication and location-based services."

Locaid IP Location enables brand marketers, ecommerce companies, media companies and financial institutions to provide location-customized marketing messages, increase sales conversions of offers and promotions, prevent transaction fraud, effectively authenticate users, ensure licensing and regulatory compliance, more effectively manage network traffic, and more, all through a single API.

Performance That Fuels The Passion: The New Nikon D600 Puts FX-Format In Focus For Photo Enthusiasts

As Nikon's Smallest, Lightest and Most Affordable Full-Frame HD-SLR, the D600 Packs in Powerful, Pro-Grade Photo and Video Features with Wireless Sharing and Capture Capabilities

MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Nikon Inc. announced the 24.3-megapixel (MP) D600, a camera that is designed to deliver the image quality and performance benefits of a full frame FX-format sensor to the enthusiast looking to take their dedication to the next level. The Nikon D600 offers a remarkable value, merging the perfect combination of a lightweight, compact form factor and superior image quality, making the leap into FX-format photography more attractive than ever. 

Whether shooting stills or Full HD video, advanced features and Nikon technologies like the newly developed high resolution CMOS sensor and EXPEED 3 image processing engine are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding creative vision. Additionally, Nikon's new optional WU-1b wireless adapter allows users to shoot high quality HD-SLR images and transfer them to their mobile device, making it easier to stay connected, without the need for wires.

"For many, image making is so much more than a hobby; it is a way of life that changes the way the world is perceived. The Nikon D600 represents a new category of camera for this user and demonstrates Nikon's devotion to the passionate photographer who is always looking for new ways to express their creativity through their photos and HD videos," said Bo Kajiwara, Vice President of Marketing, Planning and Customer Experience, Nikon Inc. "By offering users the advanced FX-format and key features inherited from our professional cameras, along with new functions like optional wireless capabilities, Nikon is inspiring photographers by providing an imaging experience that satisfies like never before."

Superior Image Quality

Nikon's FX-format offers photographers exciting image quality possibilities, from dazzling dynamic range and exacting detail to stellar low-light ability. The D600 employs Nikon's newly developed, large 24.3 MP FX-format CMOS Sensor (35.9 x 24mm) to offer photographers a versatile camera that provides amazing image quality and sharpness, with ample resolution to tackle almost any project. Because the needs of the advanced amateur varies widely, the new CMOS sensor provides a wide ISO range from 100-6400 (expandable from 50-25,600) to give photographers maximum low-light flexibility yielding clean images with minimal noise and accurate color. The full ISO range can also be used while capturing HD video in challenging light. Nikon's exclusive EXPEED 3 image processing engine interprets the massive amount of image data flowing from the sensor to quickly process images and HD video. The result is striking images and impressive HD video that exhibits faithful color reproduction and tonal range throughout the frame.

Precision Technology Engineered for the Enthusiast

Enthusiasts of all types demand the best from their gear, and the Nikon D600 is a camera engineered with intuitive features that give photographers an edge in the field. Whether shooting lush landscapes, action sports or the elusive animals of the Serengeti, Nikon's Scene Recognition System and 2,016 pixel RGB sensor excels in any situation. By recognizing the scene prior to capture, the system meticulously analyzes factors such as color and brightness with extraordinary precision and compares all the data using Nikon's exclusive 30,000 image database. The result is enhanced AF performance and flattering exposures.

For precise AF performance in a wide variety of shooting conditions, the D600 features a 39 point AF system with the new MultiCAM 4800FX AF module. This AF array is well suited to a wide variety of shooting styles and disciplines, offering AF modes to let users select a single point, continuous AF, Dynamic AF or use 3D tracking to keep pace with a moving subject throughout the frame. Additionally, the system features nine cross type sensors for maximum accuracy, while seven AF points are fully functional when using compatible NIKKOR lenses and teleconverters with an aperture value up to f/8 for extreme telephoto applications.

To keep up with action sports, active wildlife or the photo opportunity that unexpectedly arises, the D600 is ready to shoot in 0.13 seconds, with a 0.052 second shutter release.  The camera emphasizes speed and performance, from overall operation and image processing, helped in part by the exceptional EXPEED 3 processing engine. The camera is also capable of bursts of images at 5.5 frames per second (fps) at full resolution with full AF, to capture decisive moments. To further enhance speed and workflow, images and video can also be rapidly transferred to dual SD card slots that are compatible with the latest SDXC and UHS-1 high speed standards.

Enthusiasts will also appreciate other thoughtful features made to appeal to more advanced photographers, such as the 100% frame coverage seen through optical viewfinder. The wide and bright view makes it easy to compose in a variety of conditions, and affords the ability to enjoy shooting for hours on end with minimal eye fatigue. Additionally, the D600 features several scene modes and features to enhance creativity, including one-touch access to Picture Control functions through a new dedicated button. Photographers can also shoot images in High Dynamic (HDR) mode for amazing highlights, and create awe-inspiring time lapses with ease.

Experience Full HD

The Nikon D600 has advanced video features that are ideal for those ready to embrace the world of HD-SLR video, as well as those already enjoying its benefits such as manual control, depth of field, low-light ability and lensing options. This camera gives users the ability to record Full HD at varying frame rates and resolutions including 1080p video at 30, 25 or 24p, and 720p video at 60, 50 and 30p. When shooting HD video at the highest quality setting, up to 20 minutes can be recorded, or up to 29 minutes and 59 seconds in normal quality for added convenience when shooting static shots such as interviews and events. The large 3.2-inch 921K dot LCD screen makes it easy to preview images or video captured, navigate the menu system or confirm critical HD focus, while automatic brightness control adapts seamlessly to changing lighting conditions.

Sophisticated video features help to increase the production value on any project, including full manual control of exposure, and the ability to switch between FX and DX-format (1.5X) at Full HD for a telephoto boost and alter depth of field. Users can opt to focus manually or can take advantage of the full-time AF while recording to help ensure faces are in focus or track a moving subject. Additionally, videographers have the ability to capture audio with the onboard microphone or record stereo audio externally using the mic input. Audio can be monitored through the headphone jack and levels can be displayed on the LCD with peaking. 

In addition to the ability to play back HD video and images through the HDMI terminal, users are also able to experience pro-grade video features in the Nikon D600. For monitoring and streaming applications, the image can be displayed on the LCD screen while simultaneously shown on another monitor through the HDMI, with or without shooting data. What's more, the D600 adds the ability to transfer uncompressed video via the HDMI connection, which can then be routed to a digital recorder or similar device.   

Remote Sharing and Capture

Photography is a form of expression, which can now be shared more ways than ever before through social networks and online communities. To accompany the D600, Nikon has also announced the optional WU-1b Wireless Adapter that allows users to connect wirelessly to the camera. A companion Wireless Mobile Adapter Utility application for Android(TM) based mobile devices is also available at no additional cost.( 1) Furthermore, an application for the iPhone® and iPad® mobile digital devices will be available on September 15, 2012.(2)

NIKKOR, Speedlight and System Compatibility

Supporting the D600 is Nikon's heritage in optical excellence, more than 70 NIKKOR AF and AF-S compatible lenses for maximum versatility. Those with DX-format lenses will also be happy to know that these lenses can also be used on the camera as well as the ability to set DX crop for stills or video to extend the reach of telephoto or telephoto zoom lenses.

The new Nikon HD-SLR is also a gateway to Nikon's renowned Creative Lighting System (CLS) which illuminates a whole new world of creative image making using multiple Speedlights. A built-in Speedlight commander can control multiple Speedlights such as Nikon's SB-700, SB-910 or Wireless Close Up Speedlight System, and the camera can also control up to two individual speedlight groups for further creative control.

Constructed to Inspire

Built to withstand the wide variety of shooting conditions enthusiasts face, the body of the D600 is sealed and gasketed against dirt and moisture. The camera uses magnesium alloy top and rear construction to provide a lightweight camera with maximum durability. The shutter has been tested for 150,000 cycles, and sensor cleaning is also employed. The battery is rated for approximately 900 shots, affording photographers the ability to shoot all day. Additionally, the optional MB-D14 Multi Power Battery Pack extends the grip for comfort and can effectively double the battery capacity when using two batteries.

The D600 is also built with an emphasis on handling with thoughtful ergonomics and button placement, in a body that is compact enough to carry comfortably on any excursion. The hand grip has been improved for comfort, while the overall impression from using the camera is reassuringly solid. To avoid accidental engagement, the shutter button has been recessed, while the Mode Dial can be locked.

Malvern Launches the Zetasizer Nano ZSP to Global Audience

MALVERN, England, September 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

    New top-of-the-range dynamic light scattering system adds unique protein measurement
and microrheology capabilities to market-leading family of instruments

    On 12 September 2012, Malvern Instruments conducted the global launch of an exciting
addition to its Zetasizer family, bringing unique protein measurement and novel
microrheology capabilities to this established and market-leading range of dynamic light
scattering (DLS) systems. Introduced in the space of 24 hours via a series of webcasts to
audiences around the world, the new high-specification Zetasizer Nano ZSP delivers
enhanced sensitivity and comes with advanced software that drives the two new measurement
types.

    (Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120913/559992 )

    Like other systems in the range, the Zetasizer Nano ZSP is a single, compact unit. It
shares the simplicity and ease of use that have made Zetasizer Nano systems a firm
favourite in industry and academia for almost a decade. Where the Zetasizer Nano ZSP
stands apart, however, is in its unique performance specifications for both size and zeta
potential measurement. One of the most significant applications being the measurement of
the zeta potential, or electrophoretic mobility, of proteins. This process is further
simplified by the inclusion of a new protein mobility measurement type in the software
that controls data acquisition, guiding the user through the measurement and assesses and
reports on data quality. The protein mobility measurement package is included with the
Zetasizer Nano ZSP instrument as standard.

    As well as the suite of new protein-specific features, the new version of Zetasizer
software, launched together with the Zetasizer Nano ZSP, enables a brand new type of
measurement on the instrument: Microrheology. This DLS-based optical technique allows
rheological characterization of weakly-structured and highly strain-sensitive materials
using only microliter sample volumes. Amongst its applications are measuring the viscosity
of polymer and protein solutions and determining the onset of protein aggregation.

    Malvern's extended Zetasizer family now includes the full Zetasizer Nano range of
systems for characterizing size, molecular weight and zeta potential measurement; the
Zetasizer APS for automated protein size measurements in multiwell plates; and the
Zetasizer microV designed for protein size and molecular weight measurements in both
cuvette and chromatography modes (for example, in combination with a GPC/SEC system).

Deseret Digital Media Launches OK.com, Empowers Parents with Interactive Family Media Guide

Licensable platform, syndicated by papers nationwide, creates new rating system for evaluating media landscape and enabling parents to make educated decisions

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In a bold business expansion, Deseret Digital Media today launched Ok.com. A groundbreaking online family media guide that provides a platform for customized, crowd-sourced ratings and reviews of the latest movies, the site empowers consumers to decide for themselves what is "Ok" for their families, and offers a tailor-made addition to the Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) movie rating system. In this world of exploding media options and unfiltered images, the platform leverages the wisdom of crowds, critics and, more importantly, friends. OK.com provides parents, families and moviegoers alike with the information they need to gauge two important questions: what is appropriate for their children, families and them to watch, and which movies are "worth your time" to see.

Ok.com allows users nationwide to rent and purchase products directly and gives families the ability to design their own personalized network of movie reviews from the people they trust.

"We are investing in a platform that empowers both parents and media companies to localize all ratings and reviews specific to their user-base and demographic, helping build their online communities and increase user engagement," said Clark Gilbert, Deseret Digital Media president and CEO. "Ok.com is a powerful standalone resource for families, but can also be licensed under any subdomain inside a publisher's current website, enabling the licensee to receive 100 percent of the ad revenue from the sponsorship, leaderboard and block ad. OK.com is a major part of our digital strategy and we look forward to building on this strategic media property."

Site users can assemble a panel of favorite reviewers, set parameters for receiving information based on their own preferences, or allow the system's algorithm to make suggestions. Additionally Ok.com provides a customizable discussion platform. In this familiar 21(st) century social media format, parents can get crowd-sourced information from a trusted community and offer reviews themselves. Ok.com empowers parents to be influential thought leaders and industry arbiters - not only for each other, but also for the movie industry.

"Ok.com enables parents to make educated decisions by giving them a set of tools to connect with a trusted online community that shares their standards and criteria," said Chris Lee, Vice President of Digital Products for Deseret Digital Media and Publisher of the Deseret News. "It is not intended to tell people what they should think, rather it empowers them to determine for themselves the appropriate movies for their families. Users log in and invite friends via Facebook Connect to build their personal reviewer network and to follow those they trust for great recommendations."

Ok.com answers two key consumer questions at a glance: "Is it appropriate?" and "Is it worth my time?" The site's color-coded, at a glance rating system consists of an "Ok" icon, followed by the suggested age range, such as "Ok 12+" or "Ok 5+." The system enables users to quickly visualize and determine the age appropriateness of a movie for their family, and comments from reviewers provide more nuanced perspectives to readers. The proprietary "Worth Your Time" (WYT) widget asks users to give a simple "yes" or "no" answer about whether a movie was "worth their time" and conveys the crowd-sourced response in the form of a simple thumbs up (green) or down (red) graphic.

For example, the MPAA rating for "The King's Speech" is R, but in a beta site survey, Ok.com reviewers generally felt it was appropriate for a much younger audience than 17, and received an "OK 12+" rating. Additionally, the film's site data indicated that 92 percent of users gave it a WYT rating. On the other hand, "Dinner for Schmucks" was rated PG-13 by the MPAA, but Ok.com users thought it should have been rated closer to MPAA's R, and generally gave it "OK 15+" with a 17 percent WYT rating based on the levels of "sex, nudity, violence, gore and profanity."

As part of a plan to expand on its existing Family Media Guide product, Deseret Digital Media acquired the valuable OK.com URL and created both a stand-alone site as well as a licensed co-branded product that publishers can localize and offer to their own readers. Compatible with all smart phones and other mobile devices, OK.com includes partnerships with Fandango, Redbox and Netflix for movie rental and ticket purchases. OK.com is the only parent review site available that is sub-licensable and co-brandable, while also offering product, ticket and rental agent partnerships. Ratings for video games and books will be added to Ok.com in the near future.

The launch of OK.com supports the company's ongoing strategy to extend its portfolio into new digital markets. Deseret Digital Media is sub-licensing Ok.com to publishers across the country. Initial syndication customers include mynorthwest.com (Seattle, Washington), ktar.com (Phoenix, Arizona), lancasteronline.com (Lancaster, Pennsylvania), mywebtimes.com (Ottawa, Ohio), and ksl.com and Deseretnews.com (Salt Lake City, Utah).

"Ok.com allows us to immediately offer a highly customizable social media platform for localizing all ratings, reviews and movie times tailored for our own audience demographic, under our own banner," said Carl Gardner, VP and Market Manager, mynorthwest.com. "We gain both hyperlocal and national content that satisfies an unmet need for parents and families, while also providing our advertisers an attractive new window into our audience. Deseret Digital Media's licensing terms enable us to capture all the local ad revenue and deliver a very competitive, cutting edge digital product."

About Deseret Digital Media

Deseret Digital Media manages the media Web sites of the Deseret Media Companies, including Deseret News, KSL and Ok.com. The mission of Deseret Digital Media is to become the trusted digital voice in all of the markets it serves. This goal is part of a broad corporate mission to become "trusted voices of light and knowledge, reaching hundreds of millions of people." Deseret Media Companies is a for-profit arm of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

    Notes to Editors

    About Naim Audio

    Naim has a passionate and committed interest in music. This is as true today as it was
at the time of the company's formation in Salisbury, England, over 35 years ago. Enjoyment
of music has driven Naim to design and manufacture the finest range of audio equipment
available. Top engineering principles ensure that all Naim products meet and exceed the
measurable parameters essential for state-of-the-art performance, safety and reliability:
all essential qualities for which Naim is renowned. Measurement alone, however, is not
enough: every product must also deliver the musical performance that the team could not
live without.

    Naim quality requires an attention to detail verging on the obsessive: a special and
unique approach to component selection and system design, all within a highly specialised
production environment. Every aspect of a Naim product's design has been considered for
its impact on sound quality. Even small, seemingly insignificant, production techniques
are used, because of the difference they make between delivering a great and an amazing
sound.

    Naim's toughest critics are its management and its employees. They have always
believed that being honest is the only way to communicate with their customers - music
lovers and numerous musicians - who regard Naim's products as having no equals in their
respective classes.

    Naim does not chase market fashion and will not move from its overriding objective of
achieving consistent musical performance. The company has its own record label, Naim
Label, which specialises in high-quality music recordings, and has moved steadily into the
world of audio streaming, multi-room and in-car audio, introducing the award-winning
NaimUniti all-in-one audio player and a range of multi-room audio products: NaimNet,
designed to bring new customers to the Naim fold without sacrificing Naim's legendary
performance. Naim also announced an exclusive partnership with Bentley Motors in 2008,
with the launch of the Naim for Bentley Premium Audio System, which is available across
all Bentley models.

Lenovo Selects MediaTek to Power New LePad(TM) Android Tablet

MediaTek enters fast growing worldwide tablet market with highly integrated mobile platform

HSINCHU, Taiwan, Sept. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaTek Inc., a leading fabless semiconductor company for wireless communications and digital multimedia solutions, today announced that Lenovo has selected its highly integrated Android mobile platform for the new LePad A2107, dual-SIM 3G/HSPA tablet, which is shipping to customers globally.

The LePad A2107 provides high-speed cellular data and wireless connectivity and is designed for tablet users who want to be "connected always". The A2107 uses MediaTek's proven Android mobile platform consisting of the MT6575 and the MT6620 SoCs. The MediaTek MT6575 incorporates a 1GHz ARM® Cortex(TM) A9 processer, a PowerVR(TM) Series5 SGX GPU (graphics processing unit) from Imagination Technologies, a 3G/HSPA modem and built-in support for 3D displays and DTV-grade multimedia capabilities by leveraging the company's world-leading DTV platform technologies. The MT6620 4-in-1 connectivity combo integrates an 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0+HS, GPS, and FM transmitter/receiver into a single chip with the world's smallest footprint and leading low-power consumption. The MediaTek mobile platform is ideally suited to enable mobile device manufacturers like Lenovo, helping them to address the mid and entry-level tablet market that demands global connectivity for today and tomorrow.

"Consumers are increasingly using tablets as a companion device to the PC and mobile phone to access media and information. We forecast that the tablet market will increase from 119 million in 2012 to 494 million by 2016(*)," said Mr. Mark Hung, Research Director at Gartner. "A company that has capabilities and technologies across different multi-screen platforms, from smartphones to DTV, should be well positioned to benefit from participating in the growing tablet market."

"We are excited to expand our long-standing partnership with MediaTek from the smartphone market, which has seen tremendous success together over the past year from the explosive market for smartphones in China, to the fast-growing tablet market," said Mr. Tao Shao, Vice President and General Manager of the Tablet Business Unit in the Mobile & Digital Home Group, Lenovo. "The MediaTek MT6575 mobile platform enables us to offer 3G connectivity on the LePad A2107 bringing convenience to users in web exploration, mailing, chatting...whenever and wherever needed."

"This partnership with Lenovo expands MediaTek's industry-leading family of power-efficient, high-performance Android platform solutions that are driving the next generation of user experiences into a new array of tablets," said Joe Chen, General Manager of the Home Entertainment Business Unit at MediaTek. "The MediaTek Android platforms enable our customers to leverage their investment to deliver a range of multi-screen products -- for one's pocket, for the briefcase, or for the home."

The MediaTek MT6575 and MT6620 are currently being deployed by many of MediaTek's leading customers in their latest smartphone and tablet offerings.

Casual Collaboration Sweetened by Ribose

New cloud-based platform streamlines all types and sizes of collaborative planning activity in one secure site

BOSTON, Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Ribose has announced the launch of a new online platform designed to simplify the way groups of all sizes collaborate.  The new web platform, http://www.ribose.com, brings together an unmatched collection of tools, applications and widgets that harness the real-time, social and cloud-based flexibility of today's internet to help streamline, organize and plan anything from a small family gathering to a social club's ongoing activities.

Understanding that the underlying concept of any successful collaboration is the generation of ideas, and sharing of experiences, the new Ribose platform capitalizes on today's social web to help users stay in constant contact with collaborators, as well as offering public spaces designed to share common contexts, uncover new ideas and discover new resources through social connections.

"Collaborating on group activities of any size always involve plenty of opinions, questions and the need for constant last minute discussions on a myriad of details," said Ronald Tse, Ribose Founder and CEO.  "The vision for Ribose was to create a platform that harnesses the power of the casual collaboration people now use every day on the social web to provide them with a customizable space designed around the context of the project, not just the available toolset."

The new Ribose site offers over 10 collaborative toolsets designed to organize group activities and content around topics, not the tools, so that users can fully benefit from a comprehensive suite of features while customizing particular toolsets to meet the specific needs of their activity or event.  Ribose was designed with a clean, minimalistic interface style, allowing for users to choose from an array of color palettes and themes to satisfy their own unique design aesthetic. The site focuses on three key user needs:

    --  Collaborative Spaces: capture key details, calendar items, files and
        status reports for each particular collaboration.
    --  Collaborative Applications (Capps): bring together a specific mix of
        features and tools customized to particular topics, ensuring users have
        the right set of tools and functionality for the specific type of
        collaboration they are undertaking.
    --  My Applications (Mapps): allow users to keep track of their activities
        on Ribose, offers widgets, profiles and contact information, as well as
        an aggregate look across individual collaborations - including personal
        calendar views, to-do lists and chat logs.
Access to the Ribose site is free for registered users, who are also allowed up to 10 invitations to begin building their collaboration teams. Future expansion and development on Ribose includes mobile web access and mobile app development. To learn more, register and begin tapping into the power of casual collaboration at http://www.ribose.com.

About Ribose

For busy people who struggle to plan and manage all of the personal or group activities, events and adventures that make their life interesting, Ribose is a full-featured casual collaboration platform that provides all the necessary tools and connections needed to simultaneously plan activities of all sizes with friends, family, colleagues and partners. Founded by Ronald Tse, Ribose brings together in one secure site the real-time, social and cloud-based flexibility of today's Internet with a full catalogue of tools, applications and widgets, to uncover even more linkages, better streamline activities and create customizable new ways to organize anything from a small, casual family gathering to a social club's ongoing activities.   www.ribose.com

"This new hardware from RainWise provides a plug and play solution for anyone interested in joining our weather station network and receiving local weather forecasts for their front door," said Alan Steremberg, President and co-founder of Weather Underground. "Until now, setting up a weather station and routing the weather data to our servers was a more convoluted process. RainWise's package requires no local computer or special software."

Steremberg continues: "These Weather Underground optimized weather stations from RainWise will accelerate the steady growth of our personal weather station network, which in turn will enable us to provide enhanced and even more reliable local forecasts for locations across the world. There are many areas of the world in dire need of more reliable weather reporting and we hope that this new weather station technology can be part of that solution."

The Synergy/DE suite of developer tools includes a proven, modern business language based on ANSI-standard DIBOL (Synergy DBL); a high-performing indexed database system; support for Microsoft's Entity Framework; and connectivity tools for remote data and application access.

Synergy/DE's integration with Visual Studio enables Synergy application developers to take advantage of the powerful Visual Studio IDE and its extensive ecosystem. These developers can transform their existing applications by moving them to .NET, then updating their UIs and adding new functionality with the libraries and functions that exist in the .NET Framework. This path forward enables Synergex customers to retain the investments they've made in their proven applications; it enables Synergex ISVs to remain competitive in their markets; and it enables Synergex corporate end-users to enhance their in-house software to improve operations and workforce productivity.

One of the fastest growing IT companies in the UK and Ireland, Equiniti ICS Ltd., is a Synergex customer using Synergy/DE and Visual Studio to give its business application a more modern UI. Gordon Ireland, Director at Equinity ICS, states, "We've been able to add the latest WPF features to our Synergy application to significantly enhance it and bring it up to date." And Carl Wysocki, Director of Technology R&D at WorkWise, a leading provider of ERP manufacturing systems, comments, "We can leverage time-tested [DBL] code ...all quite transparently and easily....I've seen it, and I am a believer."

Visual Studio 2012 brings Synergy application developers the latest capabilities for developing modern applications across the Microsoft platform. It also provides user interface enhancements to make it easier for developers to do their job. According to Roger Andrews, CTO at Synergex, "VS 2012 brings significant advantages to Synergy developers. These include improved productivity through faster project loading, a cleaner development experience, improved editor performance, new asynchronous capabilities in the Synergy DBL language, and the ability to create Windows Store applications."

"Our customers rely on us for the tools they need to create their feature-rich business applications and to move their existing, proven applications forward," states Andrews. "We'll continue to work closely with Microsoft to deliver Visual Studio productivity to our customers so they can continue to create amazing, modern UIs across the Microsoft platform."

Steal Network Buys STEALS.com

New Domain Makes it Easier Than Ever to Identify Where to Find Steals (Not Just Deals) on the Web for Babies, Kids, and Women

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Steal Network announced the purchase of the domain STEALS.com for an undisclosed amount. STEALS.com is home to four popular and trusted daily deal sites, including BabySteals.com, KidSteals.com, SheSteals.com, and ScrapbookSteals.com, that spoon-feed shoppers curated, brand-name products that are rarely discounted online. STEALS.com sets the standard for what it means to get a steal online. The company's motto - "it's not just a deal, it's a steal" - reflects its philosophy that while anyone can provide a deal online, it takes fanatical customer service, lightning-fast shipping, and the ability to deliver a high-quality product at a discount you can't find anywhere else to truly offer a steal. With STEALS.com, consumers can easily identify what is a steal, and what is just another "deal."

"Savvy shoppers know there is nothing more satisfying than getting a quality product for a great price before it sells out," said founder Jana Francis, an avid online shopper and mom of three. "Our brand reflects our mission of re-creating that feeling of pure shopping joy - the moment when you get a true steal."

All STEALS.com sites put a high priority on the shopping experience, offering incredible steals along with same-day shipping and fast customer service with 15-minute response times.

About STEALS.com

STEALS.com is changing the way people think about daily deals. Launched before Groupon even hit the scene, STEALS.com (formerly Steal Network) includes four hyper-targeted daily deal sites, including BabySteals.com, KidSteals.com, SheSteals.com, and ScrapbookSteals.com, that sell products, not vouchers. Each site follows the same simple model by offering exclusive discounts (up to 40-80 percent off) on just two deals a day, one at 9 AM and one at 9 PM MT, each for 12 hours or until it sells out. Coupled with fanatical customer service and lightning-fast shipping, the sites make shopping fun again, recalling the excitement of discovering a true "steal." http://www.steals.com
