IBM Announces New Virtual Desktop Flexible Workplace Solutions

2000-student Texas School System Improves Teacher/Administrator Productivity

ARMONK, N.Y., June 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on four decades of industry leadership in large scale virtualization, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a set of flexible workplace solutions that enable clients to create a simple, cost-effective environment that allows employees to use any device to access workplace applications anytime and anyplace.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )

IBM SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure solutions are designed to help clients get ahead of the rising trend toward employees bringing their own electronic devices to work. It allows organizations to manage desktops centrally while small or large numbers of users can access desk top applications from any location or device, including personal computers, tablets, smart phones, laptops and thin clients. The solutions were created to help clients escape the constraints of physical computing -- simplifying desktop management, tightening security, and enhancing overall employee productivity.

The IBM offerings support the widest range of industry hardware, software and virtualization platforms across various industries, including health care, education, financial services and retail, as well as the public sector, local, state and federal government agencies. For example, the 2000-student Gilmer County, Texas Independent School District is using the offering to provide a more flexible workplace for teachers and administrators.

Said School District Technology Director Rusty Ivey, "The IBM virtual desktop solution with Virtual Bridges VERDE on System x allows us to lower desktop management costs, while improving data security and disaster recovery. VDI improves the productivity of our teachers and administrative staff, as well as lab users by providing instant access to the latest operating systems and applications anytime and anywhere, using their choice of electronic devices."

The IBM SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure solutions come fully-tested across hardware, software and services to help streamline IT administration and help take the guess workout out of the transition to a virtual desktop environment. The offerings were created in collaboration with leading solutions providers such as Citrix, Virtual Bridges and VMware.

Using IBM System x servers running VMware Vie software, The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd. implemented a virtual desktop environment that included "Desktop Everywhere" to create an easy-to-use terminal. The bank started by replacing a virtual environment of 3,000 personal computers with Vie software. According to Bank-of-Tokyo-Mitsubishi Senior Manager Mizuhiko Tokunaga, company studies showed that the virtual desktop offering offered two advantages -- support for more software types and the ability to prevent an application failure from bringing down the entire system.

"Our strong ecosystem of partners and robust, open-reference approach provide a range of time-tested virtual desktop solutions for multiple environments," said Adalio Sanchez, general manager, IBM System x business. "Together, we're able to bring the power of virtual computing to any size company seeking secure, end-to-end solutions that provide greater agility, reduced costs and complexity, while freeing up critical IT resources."

IBM SmartCloud Desktop Infrastructure solutions are also being used at Corporate Information Systems Company Asia Pacific, a division of Panasonic Asia Pacific Pte, Ltd. The IBM System x powered solutions are immediately available worldwide in configurations to match a client's individual desktop management requirements.

Much Anticipated Necomimi Launches in the US

The cat's out of the bag with Necomimi release at Comic-Con, through select retail partners and at Necomimi.com

SAN JOSE, Calif. and SAN DIEGO, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading biosensor company NeuroSky launches the YouTube sensation, Necomimi, in the US at Comic-Con in the San Diego Convention Center.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120628/SF33199LOGO)

A concept born in Japan by Neurowear, a fashion electronics company, Necomimi's popularity skyrocketed within the anime and costume communities.  Now general audiences are clamoring for the fascinating brainwave cat ears that respond to the wearer's mood.

Necomimi is a headband with cat ears that move according to the user's feelings and emotions in real time. Necomimi, powered by NeuroSky's ThinkGear technology, gives people a chance to express their moods in a real-time, unique way.

Three emotional states create cat-like reactive movements that show how interested or relaxed the wearer is.  When something catches the user's attention, the ears shoot straight up.  When the wearer is relaxed, the ears droop down.  When both highly focused and highly relaxed --or "in the zone" -- the ears will wiggle back and forth.

Necomimi is great for parties, tailgating at your favorite sporting event, bachelorette parties, cosplay and anytime you want to entertain your friends and family.  Don't take our word for it, find out yourself why everyone is saying, "Make my ears wiggle!"

Necomimi is priced at $99.95 and will be available for sale at Comic-Con from booth 305, or through select authorized resellers, retail partners and on necomimi.com.

NeuroSky will be hosting two Necomimi launch parties for press with hosted drinks and passed appetizers in San Diego on Thursday, July 12th, and Los Angeles on Friday, July 20th.

MyWireless.org® Applauds House Judiciary Committee for Moving H.R. 1860, the 'Digital Goods & Services Tax Fairness Act'

WASHINGTON, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- MyWireless.org, a national, nonpartisan wireless consumer advocacy group, expressed its support for today's action by the House Judiciary Committee, which marked up and favorably reported out of Committee the 'Digital Goods and Services Tax Fairness Act.' This bipartisan legislation establishes a "national framework" for how the growing digital marketplace should be fairly taxed by states and localities.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100915/DC65532LOGO)

More than ever before, American consumers are using wireless to purchase and download digital goods and services, such as apps, music and ringtones, movies and TV episodes, e-books and video games. Currently, there is a patchwork set of rules at the state and local level determining how digital goods are taxed. Only Congress has the constitutional authority to establish a clear and fair way to tax this rapidly growing sector of the economy.

"On behalf of the millions of American wireless consumers, we'd like to thank Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) and Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) for taking up this issue and establishing some sensible and fair rules of the road when it comes to digital commerce," said Amy McLean, Director of Advocacy Communications for MyWireless.org. "We hope that the bill moves swiftly through the House of Representatives and the Senate so that people are no longer subjected to the threat of multiple and discriminatory taxes for using their wireless device to buy a digital product."

The house legislation has a bipartisan companion bill in the Senate, S. 971, that is currently gaining support in the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance.

MyWireless.org® is a nonpartisan non-profit national advocacy organization, made up of wireless consumers, businesses and community leaders from around the country, supporting reasonable pro-consumer and pro-taxpayer wireless policies.

New on GameUp!

"Budget Hero" Added to BrainPOP's Free Resource for Top Educational Games

WASHINGTON, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Budget Hero," the computer game, designed to help people of all ages understand the Federal budget and the underlying issues that shape it, is now offered on the free resource GameUp(TM),  BrainPOP's collection of cross-curricular game titles from leading publishers.

Click Here to Play Budget Hero on GameUp

"Budget Hero" invites players to explore the impact of different cuts and expenditures as they create and test their own budget policies. Students choose "badges" that represent their values and goals -- economic stimulus, national security, the environment, school funding, energy. As the simulation progresses, participants "play" policy cards, deciding whether to fund or cut spending on initiatives like clean energy research, federal housing assistance, education for disadvantaged children, infrastructure maintenance, and health care for senior citizens. The budgets "go bust" when money runs out for anything but Social Security, health care, and interest payments; they are complete when they reflect a player's chosen values and/or yield a desirable result.

As it does for all titles showcased on GameUp, BrainPOP pairs "Budget Hero" with a selection of related content that facilitates the game's effective classroom use.

"Few subject areas are more relevant to 21st century learning than Financial Literacy -- which is also an area that's difficult enough for adults to fully grasp, much less kids. Adding "Budget Hero" to our GameUp offerings is a tremendous step towards clarifying complex issues that affect the world on a daily basis," said Dr. Avraham Kadar, BrainPOP's Founder and CEO.  "We are proud to have partnered with The Wilson Center and American Public Media's Public Insight Network on this invaluable initiative."

"By putting young players in the driver's seat, 'Budget Hero' engages players and makes difficult policy arguments clearer," said Jane Harman, Director, President and CEO of the Wilson Center. "GameUp, with its carefully vetted selection of educational titles and supporting materials, is an excellent showcase for 'Budget Hero.' Kids everywhere will now have access to the game and its key lessons, while their teachers will benefit from resources to help them integrate it into their curriculum easily and smoothly."

"'Budget Hero' has proven a great way for hundreds of thousands of Americans to begin to understand the complexity of the questions facing our nation when it comes to the budget," said Mike Reszler Vice President Digital Media, American Public Media. "By partnering with BrainPOP and the Wilson Center, we are helping to engage teachers and students in the same exercise of understanding the myriad of decisions that go into shaping the budget."

Lakeside Software Introduces SysTrack MarketPlace

Technology vendors unite behind a single source for detailed reporting quantifying hardware, software and service infrastructure performance

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Lakeside Software, a leader in big data analytics for IT professionals, today announced SysTrack MarketPlace, a new capability within SysTrack providing detailed analysis for sizing and selecting hardware, software and service infrastructure.  MarketPlace provides a single source for IT professionals to get the quantified data they need to maximize the performance of their infrastructure, accelerate ROI and maximize end-user experience.  MarketPlace is implemented in SysTrack version 6.1, with availability in July 2012.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111212/DE17893LOGO )

MarketPlace is the result of cooperation between Lakeside Software and leading IT infrastructure technology companies.  Participating in MarketPlace at launch are AppSense, Atlantis Computing, EMC, Cisco, Citrix, Dell Wyse, HP, IBM, Login VSI, Nexenta, Trend Micro and VMware.  Collaborations with other infrastructure vendors will be introduced as those integrations are completed.

MarketPlace reports are 100% customized for a specific vendor solution and provide only the data most relevant for analysis of that solution.  They are developed through close consultation between Lakeside Software and each solution vendor that ensures each report reflects a deep understanding of the solution and provides critical and appropriate intelligence.

MarketPlace reports enable IT professionals to anticipate solution benefits pre-implementation, and to validate and measure the benefits of the solution post-implementation.  Additionally, MarketPlace reports provide the data and insight necessary for on-going solution tuning and optimization.  MarketPlace reports are either "public" (available to any SysTrack customer) or "private" (available only to those to whom the vendor has provided access credentials).  All reports are easily accessible from the SysTrack common interface.  Visit http://www.lakesidesoftware.com/marketplace.aspx for more information.

SysTrack provides essential data for complex IT tasks such as user auditing, performance monitoring, change management, event management, latency and end-user experience management, application resource analysis, chargeback, virtualization assessment and planning, application pool design, automated power management and many others.  SysTrack seamlessly manages virtualized desktops, virtualized servers, terminal servers and physical systems to provide an end-to-end view of the environment.  SysTrack supports the complete range of deployments, from physical environments to partially/fully virtualized environments, to cloud computing.

Supporting Quotes

Dan Salinas, vice president Business Development, Lakeside Software:  "SysTrack MarketPlace is designed to give IT professionals actionable intelligence about their infrastructure critical to deployment and optimization.  With deeper insight into the impact of specific infrastructure solutions, they can tune implementation to receive maximum value and performance."

David Roussain, vice president Product Marketing and Alliances, AppSense:  "The MarketPlace report for AppSense provides helpful actionable data to IT professionals utilizing AppSense to optimize projects such as Windows 7 migration, desktop and application virtualization.  Included is a detailed summary report on the end user environment with recommendations on how best to proceed with their user virtualization implementation."

Rajiv Pimplaskar, vice president Corporate Development, Atlantis Computing:  "VDI Storage is usually undersized to reduce the cost per virtual desktop and make the project fit a budget, but this typically leads to severe desktop performance issues and user rejection. With the SysTrack MarketPlace report, customers can accurately predict the amount of storage that they truly require for a successful implementation and understand firsthand the cost savings and performance benefits that Atlantis ILIO storage optimization software can bring to the organization. SysTrack is already used by many Atlantis Computing customers to ensure that the user experience consistently exceeds that of a physical PC."

Jeff McNaught, executive director, Dell Wyse:  "There is a pervasive problem with VDI projects undersizing the resources needed per desktop to deliver acceptable desktop performance.  Oftentimes this results in users having diminished experience with virtual desktops.  SysTrack MarketPlace helps IT teams identify the optimal system specifications required to deliver the desired virtual desktop user experience."

Parmeet Chaddha, vice president Partner Solutions, EMC Corporation:  "EMC is committed to helping customers get the most value from their IT infrastructure.  SysTrack MarketPlace helps customers assess the optimal EMC storage infrastructure for their deployments, and helps to quantify performance gains that can be achieved from implementing EMC storage solutions.  This provides our customers and partners with the ability to tune and monitor their deployments and ensure peak performance while achieving maximum ROI."

Alex Aizman, chief technology officer, Nexenta Systems:  "Enterprise customers are looking for ways to optimize their virtual desktop infrastructure deployments and the SysTrack MarketPlace leverages NexentaVSA for View's OpenStorage architecture to simplify VDI deployments. We are excited to be working with Lakeside Software to bring customers a solution that reduces total cost of ownership associated with a VDI, enhances user experience, and improves IT efficiency."

New Studio, Rebel Entertainment, Announces Development of First Real-time Multiplayer Social Game, Dungeon Rampage

BURBANK, Calif., June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently established studio Rebel Entertainment, an operating business of IAC (NASDAQ: IACI), has developed its first game, Dungeon Rampage.

Channeling years of experience from talent previously at top videogame companies including Atari, Disney, EA and Zynga, Rebel Entertainment is drawing upon the unique backgrounds of its team to create this multiplayer action role-playing dungeon crawler game. More than two million players have already signed up for the beta version currently available on Facebook and have rated it as one of the top games on the platform with 4.4 stars out of 5. After a strong start, Dungeon Rampage will continue to expand with added content including new heroes, extended maps and an ever-growing arsenal of weapons.

Rebel Entertainment's first foray into the social gaming sphere lets players battle together in real-time, unlike most social games, in which friends typically interact asynchronously by sending feed posts or gifts to each other. Dungeon Rampage also seamlessly blends accessible, arcade-style action gameplay with a deep role-playing progression for a game that is easy to play, but challenging to master.

"Dungeon Rampage has introduced real-time multiplayer to the social gaming arena with fantastic early results," said Mike Goslin, general manager, Rebel Entertainment. "In the few months that we've been in beta, players of all ages and skill levels have rampaged together in dungeons more than 47 million times and slayed more than 1.3 billion monsters in the process, and we're just getting started."

Dungeon Rampage is a multiplayer action role-playing dungeon crawler gamefeaturing an array of six playable warriors, including the hammer-wielding Berserker, the unconventional Battle Chef, and the katana-slashing Ghost Samurai. Players can team up with friends in real-time to enter an evil tyrant's dungeon games, full of fierce monsters and deadly traps, where only the toughest, savviest teams survive.

Rebel Entertainment plans to release Dungeon Rampage across a range of gaming platforms as part of its portfolio of innovative social and web-based games currently in development at the studio. The game studio plans to expand its offerings in the near future to include additional titles for web, social, mobile and other platforms.

Blip Launches Production Banner Blip Studios, Signs Exclusive Web Video Talent to Network, Promotes Steve Woolf to President of Blip Studios

NEW YORK, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Blip, one of the Internet's largest independently owned and operated video networks, today announced the launch of Blip Studios whereby the Company will work directly with brands, talent and independent producers of web video to develop and produce high quality, original web series which Blip will monetize and distribute across their distribution platforms. Steve Woolf, former Vice President of Content for Blip, has been promoted to Senior Vice President of Content and President of Blip Studios, effective immediately.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120208/NY49353LOGO )

Since 2005, Blip has worked closely with the world's top web series producers, advertisers and distribution platforms with the mission of making original series scalable and profitable.  With the introduction of Blip Studios, the Company will enhance their offerings to advertisers, producers and talent to create original series in key genres including comedy, sci-fi, sports and drama. Blip Studios will build and manage networks of shows in these genres, and has made Blip a one-stop shop for brands and their agencies that want to invest in original web video content and deliver their messages to targeted audiences.

"The creation of Blip Studios as a multiplatform digital studio producing engaging and innovative content for the Blip network and its partners is a huge value-add for our business and a very natural growth progression for the company," said Kelly Day, CEO of Blip. "We are excited about our initial talent slate and expect to announce many more original series with major partners and other great talent in the near future."

"We are incredibly proud to launch Blip Studios to develop a wide range of original web series, and just as important, series that will also push the boundaries of audience interactivity," said Steve Woolf, President of Blip Studios. "Our ultimate goal is to create the best innovative content that leads storytelling into the next decade."

Also announced today, Blip Studios has signed exclusive talent and distribution agreements with some of the most successful independent production companies and shows on their network, representing hundreds of millions of views.  These shows understand how to engage their audience, and will work with Blip Studios to take their efforts to wider audiences, more platforms, and increased production value.  These agreements include increased revenue from advertising, brand integration sales, marketing, audience development, distribution, and production resources.  Three of the signed shows include:

    --  Nostalgia Critic: With a massive, dedicated audience, Nostalgic Critic,
        starring Doug Walker, is the long-running hit from production company
        Channel Awesome. The series features Walker as he critiques and pokes
        fun at all things nostalgic, especially television and video games from
        the 80's and 90's.
    --  Nostalgia Chick: Originally a counterpart to the hugely popular series
        Nostalgia Critic, Nostalgic Chick, produced by Lindsey Ellis, Antonella
        Inserra, and Elisabeth Hansen and starring Ellis and a roster of guest
        stars, was focused on nostalgic television and movies targeted for
        women.  With an engaged audience of millions of monthly viewers, the
        show has quickly evolved into a critique of popular culture with
        recurring characters that form a fun, collaborative variety review.
    --  Todd in the Shadows: Known as "A Guide to Terrible Pop Songs of the
        Present and Past," Todd in the Shadows stars Todd Nathanson and has
        garnered millions of views around the world. Todd is enshrouded in
        shadow as he takes us through the context of a mainstream pop song,
        breaking down the minutia of the awesomeness and the awfulness, and
        establishing a great connection with his audience.
In his new role as President of Blip Studios, Woolf is responsible for all content development, production and strategic relationships with media partners, management companies and independent content creators that develop original video for the web.  Woolf has held the position of Vice President of Content for Blip since 2011, during which time Blip views have tripled.

With over ten years of experience in web video, Woolf has served as an executive, producer, director, technologist and entrepreneur, co-founding a company that produced several successful original and branded web series.

eXo Cloud IDE supports both Google App Engine for Java as well as Google App Engine for Python natively.
