    ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. updates iOS Forensic Toolkit, enabling physical acquisition of
certain iOS 5 and iOS 6 devices including iPhone 4S and 5, iPad 2 through 4, iPod Touch
4-5. Support for iPhone 4S and 5 has been highly demanded by forensic customers. By
enabling physical acquisition of last-generation Apple devices, iOS Forensic Toolkit
[http://www.elcomsoft.com/eift.html ] makes forensic analysis of these iOS devices once
again a feasible enterprise.

information than any other method such as logical acquisition or backup analysis. Physical
acquisition operates within a definite timeframe, delivering the entire content of a 32-GB
device in under 40 minutes. All protected information including SMS, emails, call history,
contacts, organizer data, Web browsing history, voicemail and email accounts and settings,

Tinder Is Now Available On Android

The world's most popular social discovery app launches for Android

LOS ANGELES, July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tinder for Android has finally arrived. Until now, the world's most popular app for meeting new people was only available to iPhone users on The App Store.

Tinder is a new approach to meeting new people. It gives users control over who they want to connect with so that they are not constantly bombarded with messages or approached by people they don't want to match with. Simply put, Tinder finds out who likes you near by and connects you with them if you're interested, whether it's for dating, friendship or networking.

"We have been experiencing an unbelievable growth trajectory in the U.S. since Tinder's inception and have managed to reach a significant chunk of iPhone users within our target market," says Justin Mateen, Tinder CMO and co-founder. "As we shift our focus to international growth, it only makes sense to launch Tinder for Android, which owns nearly 70% of the smart phone market overseas."

Since its launch in September 2012, Tinder has expanded globally with users in every major country around the world and is currently responsible for 7 billion profile ratings and over 100 million matches between users worldwide.

Rock Out With Razer's All-New Gaming and Music In-Ear Headsets

Razer Hammerhead and Hammerhead Pro Deliver Exceptional Bass and Sound Quality with Unmatched Style

CARLSBAD, Calif., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Razer(TM), the world leader in high-performance gaming hardware, software and systems, announced the launch of the Razer Hammerhead series of in-ear headsets, two all-new audio solutions for mobile gaming and music.

The Razer Hammerhead in-ear headsets offer incredible durability and fantastic audio quality from their 9 mm neodymium drivers, making them excellent choices for music listening on the go. The headsets come in two versions - the Razer Hammerhead and the Razer Hammerhead Pro, with the latter sporting an omni-directional microphone with an in-line remote for phone-call control, perfect for convenient voice communication.

Both in-ear headsets are machined out of aircraft-grade aluminum, promising extreme durability, while maintaining a lightweight and comfortable form factor. With a matte, brushed surface finish, these in-ear monitors look as good as they sound.

With interchangeable ear-tips included in three sizes and optional bi-flange attachments, the Razer Hammerhead in-ear headsets offer ultimate sound isolation.

"With numerous mobile PC gaming systems emerging, peripherals that offer both great performance and portability on-the-go are what make the experience complete," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder, CEO and creative director. "The Razer Hammerhead and Hammerhead Pro's unrivalled durability and deep bass tones are fantastic for any gamer or music listener with an active lifestyle."

The inner acoustics chambers of the Razer Hammerhead in-ear headsets feature a sonically optimized design to increase aural resonance. Paired with high-performance, precision-tuned, 9 mm neodymium drivers, the headsets produce a sound signature packing strong bass while maintaining crystal clear mid-levels and highs.

About the Razer Hammerhead Pro Analog Gaming & Music In-Ear Headset

The Razer Hammerhead Pro In-Ear Headset is an in-ear monitor (IEM) engineered from the ground up to set the standard in portable gaming audio. Machined out of aircraft grade aluminum, the Razer Hammerhead Pro embodies ultimate durability packaged in a lightweight, comfortable form factor.

Encased within each sleek, brushed shell is a high performance, precision-tuned 9mm neodymium driver. Paired with an optimized inner acoustics chamber in each shell, these in-ear monitors produce a sound signature that packs a mean, earth-shattering bass while maintaining crystal clear mids and highs. The Razer Hammerhead Pro comes through with a full-bodied low-end frequency, pounding in the beats without distortion.

Supreme quality sound would be wasted if drowned out by stray, ambient noises. That is why the Razer Hammerhead Pro comes equipped with interchangeable ear-tips in 3 sizes, along with an optional pair of bi-flanges to provide superior sound isolation and bass response.

This exceptional audio solution also features an in-line omnidirectional microphone with one-touch phone call control for crystal-clear, convenient voice communication with mobile devices on the go.

Topped off with a compact carrying case for portability, the Razer Hammerhead Pro epitomizes the way in-ear monitors should be experienced - with style, comfort and aural fidelity.

LEGO Group Builds Creative Merchandising Program for "THE LEGO® MOVIE"

-First of 17 Building Sets, Playable Video Game Demo to be Displayed at Comic-Con-

SAN DIEGO, July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL -- The LEGO Group today announced that it will produce a collection of movie-inspired building sets celebrating the brand's premiere as a theatrical film. The company has recruited an impressive roster of global partners to a broad, multi-category licensing program to support the much anticipated animated adventure film from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures. Directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and produced by Dan Lin and Roy Lee, "THE LEGO® MOVIE" is rapidly building buzz following its first released trailer and assembles on the big screen starting in February 2014. 

"The LEGO brand has been a vehicle for creative storytelling around the world for decades, so it's no surprise that there is such growing enthusiasm for the first LEGO theatrical film," said Jill Wilfert, vice president licensing and entertainment for The LEGO Group. "We are thrilled to collaborate with our valued partners to build a varied and compelling portfolio of products through which fans of all ages can celebrate this LEGO brand milestone."

Building Sets
Inspired by pivotal scenes in the film and starring key LEGO minifigure characters, a collection of 17 LEGO building sets will deliver all of the "THE LEGO MOVIE" action to the playroom. Fans will delight in highly detailed and functional vehicles and structures that reflect the creative versatility of the movie's many LEGO themed backdrops, such as City, Wild West, and Space. Comic-Con International attendees in San Diego, California will see the first "THE LEGO MOVIE" building set unveiled at the LEGO booth (#2829) on Saturday, July 20.

Additionally, the company's line of collectible LEGO Minifigures will receive its first Hollywood makeover with a series inspired by "THE LEGO MOVIE" cast of 16 new and "new-again" LEGO characters.

Videogame
In related news, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced that the chart-topping and award-winning LEGO videogames franchise from TT Games will include an epic gaming experience based on the film across all major console and handheld gaming systems. With more than 90 playable characters inspired by the film and 15 exciting levels, kids will be able to build an adventure like never before.

Movie-Inspired Merchandise
A roster of global licensees covering several categories will immerse filmgoers in the world of "THE LEGO MOVIE." Perennial publishing partners Scholastic, Penguin, Ameet and DK Publishing will offer a range of readers, sticker books, activity books and movie guides. Apparel partners include T-shirts from Mad Engine, Isaac Morris, Kabooki, TV Mania and Casco Blu, hoodies from TV Mania, pajamas from SGI Apparel, TV Mania and Kabooki and undergarments from Handcraft Mfg. and Kabooki. Carry Gear and Grown Up will offer bags, including backpacks and cinch bags. Clic Time is producing clocks and buildable watches.

Functional key lights featuring movie characters are being produced by IQ HK. Storage partner ROOM Copenhagen is producing a lunchbox, lunch set, drinking bottle and storage and sorting boxes.

The Feature Film
"THE LEGO MOVIE" opens in some global markets the first week of February, 2014. The 3D computer animated adventure tells the story of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared. 

"THE LEGO MOVIE" stars Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Charlie Day, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman, as the voices of the animated characters. The film is directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller ("21 Jump Street," "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs") from their original screenplay, story by Dan Hageman, Kevin Hageman, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, based on LEGO construction toys. It will incorporate some of the LEGO world's most popular figures while introducing several new characters, inviting fans who have enjoyed the brand's innovative toys and hugely popular video games for generations to experience their visually unique LEGO world as never seen before. The film is produced by Dan Lin ("Sherlock Holmes," "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows") and Roy Lee ("The Departed," "How to Train Your Dragon").  "THE LEGO MOVIE" will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130701/LA41565LOGO-d)

The new shop-in-shop retail space at the University Co-op, which opened on Friday, is just the first college store location that RadioShack plans to open 2013, with additional college bookstores, stretching from New York to San Diego, to be added to the roster throughout the fall. This is a part of the five-year agreement announced earlier this year with NACSCORP, a subsidiary of the National Association of College Stores, to offer an assortment of popular consumer electronics and accessories to the nearly 4,000 college store customers NACSCORP currently serves.

The college bookstore program is part of RadioShack's expansion into non-traditional channels through brand extension and partnership. The college market is key to engaging a new and informed consumer looking for the latest in innovation.

Top Tech at UT Students' Fingertips
RadioShack's retail space within the store consists of a 12-foot section of wall located on the first floor of the University Co-op. It is a one-stop, simple-to-shop spot for students to find the technology they need to keep their lives powered-up, protected and connected.

Whether it's Beats by Dr. Dre or headphones to block out the noise so they can focus on their studies, or an AUVIO Bluetooth speaker that can make any party portable, students can now find brand name and RadioShack's own exclusive private brand products and accessories in the University Co-op, a convenient location they likely pass by several times a day.

"The college consumer is one of the most connected consumers out there, and what better way to introduce the reinvigorated RadioShack brand to this audience than to go where they are, and give them what they need to make their technology not only work for them, but to make their lives more fun," said Joe Magnacca, chief executive officer of RadioShack Corporation. "Non-traditional locations like this one at the University Co-op can serve as a gateway to a new generation of consumers for RadioShack, where we can begin to stake our claim as being the go-to source for the technology they need."

"Unique franchise opportunities like this college store location at the University of Texas allow RadioShack to work with local entrepreneurs to help bring our brand to life in a way that truly resonates for consumers in a localized market. And in Austin, no one knows better how to serve UT students than George Mitchell," said Marty Amschler, senior vice president of franchise at RadioShack Corporation. "We've worked with George to develop a relevant mix of products that will excite and serve the needs of University Co-op customers."

Being the first college store location in the country to debut RadioShackU's shop-in-shop college store offering is another example of the University Co-op team identifying opportunities to stay at the forefront of innovating within the college stores category.

"We're thrilled to have the chance to work with an iconic brand like RadioShack to add the consumer electronics category to what we can deliver for our customers," said George Mitchell, president and CEO of the University Co-op. "We're giving students a convenient choice for their CE needs by featuring the best of the best that RadioShack has to offer with this concept. Our students are able to visit the University Co-op to grab something they need, or perhaps even something they didn't know they needed when they left for class that day."

The opening this fall of college store locations follows closely on the heels of RadioShack's announcement in early July that it is debuting several concept store locations over the next several months to deliver a more interactive and engaging shopping experience. The first of these concept store locations debuted in Manhattan in June.

Panasonic Announces Powerful, Portable Wireless Speaker

New "Tough" Design Creates Powerful Sound in any Environment

SECAUCUS, N.J., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Consumer Marketing Company of North America has announced the introduction of the SC-NT10 Portable Wireless Speaker System with Bluetooth(TM) compatibility.  With Quad Proof "tough" performance, the speaker system is ideal for outdoor use and a compact size makes it extremely portable, so users can enjoy high-quality audio performance no matter where they are. 

"Building on the popularity of other "tough" products in our lineup,  Panasonic has created a wireless speaker that is small enough to carry almost anywhere and can handle the elements, but will still produce superior sound quality," said David Fisher, Product Manager, Home Entertainment, Panasonic Consumer Marketing Company of North America.  "The SC-NT10 is an ideal audio companion for anyone who loves the outdoors.  It's equipped with unique features for ease-of-use including Near Field Communication for easy pairing with mobile devices, and produces crystal clear, powerful sound."   

Four "tough" performance traits allow for the Panasonic SC-NT10 to be used in nearly any outdoor setting.  The device is Splash Proof*(1 )which enables use near water areas like the pool or beach; Dust Proof*(2) making it well suited for areas such as sandy beaches; Shock Proof*(3 )(passing drop tests from a maximum of 30 inches) which allows impact resistance during use in sports; and Freeze/ Heat Proof*(4) which allows for the device to withstand severe climates, such as hot days under the scorching sun and cold winters on the ski slopes. These Splash Proof, Dust Proof, Shock Proof, and Freeze/ Heat Proof design qualities enable carefree outdoor music in all seasons.

In addition to a durable design, the Panasonic SC-NT10 is equipped with superior sound and dynamic bass, packed in an extremely compact body.  The SC-NT10 incorporates two Full Range Speakers (1-3/ 8 inches) and a Passive Radiator (2 inches) to produce crystal clear audio.  Additionally, XBS Master, a high-quality music technology developed by Panasonic, is filled with premium sound technology including XBS, which amplifies low-frequency sounds; Multi Band Gain Control, which eliminates unnatural sounds generated in the process of automatically controlling distortion; and H.BASS, which adds harmonics to enable the reproduction of bass sounds at low frequencies, such as 80 Hz or less, which were previously difficult to reproduce with this class of speaker.  Using Boost Mode, the SC-NT10 can boost the midrange sounds that are naturally easy to hear, so music that was lost in surrounding noise is clear for comfortable listening.

The Panasonic SC-NT10 Smart Networking features allow for greater ease-of-use.  NFC*(5 )(Near Field Communication) enables easy Bluetooth pairing for connection to a smartphone or tablet device by simply passing the device over the SC-NT10. Audio signals that are lost during transmission from a smartphone or tablet are compensated by the Bluetooth(®) Re-master*(6) function for a level of sound quality that virtually equals the originally transmitted sound. In addition to playing music, a built-in microphone allows for hands-free conversation when you get a phone call through your connected smartphone. 

The Panasonic SC-NT10 operates on a rechargeable battery*(7) that operates continuously for up to eight hours.  Users can also charge their smartphone or tablet device directly from the SC-NT10's USB port.

The Panasonic SC-NT10 Portable Wireless Speaker will be available in Orange/Black and Blue/Black in the fall of 2013 with an SRP of $99.99.  A "body suit" accessory, available for an SRP of $29.99, allows the SC-NT10 to easily clip virtually anywhere - on clothing, a bicycle, etc.  Please visit http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/sc-nt10 for additional product information.

Tektronix Delivers Advanced Analysis and Compliance Test Solution for MHL® 2.1

Provides the Industry's Only One-Box Solution for PHY, Protocol Testing of Latest Mobile High-Definition Link Standard

BEAVERTON, Ore., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tektronix, Inc., the world's leading manufacturer of oscilloscopes, today announced availability of the industry's only one-box solution for physical and protocol compliance testing for the latest Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL®) Compliance Test Specification (CTS) 2.1 covering transmitter (Tx), receiver (Rx), dongle and cable testing for both physical (PHY) and protocol layers.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130103/SF36616LOGO-b)

The MHL specification was developed by Nokia Corporation, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Silicon Image, Inc., Sony Corporation, and Toshiba Corporation as a standard for connecting mobile phones and portable devices to HDTVs and large displays. MHL technology enables mobile devices to output home theatre quality video and digital audio to HD displays while simultaneously charging the device. MHL-enabled products include smartphones, tablets, DTVs, TV accessories, Blu-ray Disc(TM) players, audio / video (AV) receivers, monitors, projectors, adapters, automotive accessories, cables, and more. The new MHL CTS 2.1 specification adds direct attach device testing and cable tests while introducing new test methods for data eye diagram and clock jitter tests, all supported by Tektronix.

"Like everything mobile, the MHL standard is evolving quickly and it is critical that engineers developing mobile products can turn to a test and measurement provider with support for the latest features and developments," said Brian Reich, general manager, Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix. "Tektronix is closely aligned with the MHL Consortium, which allows us to quickly enhance our solution to meet our customers' test requirements. What's more, customers can use their existing MHL 1.2 and 2.0 setups for MHL 2.1 testing, thus protecting their investments in our solutions."

Tektronix's innovative MHL protocol analyzer software leverages the same Tektronix real-time oscilloscope, such as a DPO/DSA/MSO70000 Series, used for physical layer testing to provide a complete MHL protocol test solution. This one box solution enables a seamless transition between physical and link layers.

Testing efficiency is further enhanced with direct synthesis-based Rx and dongle testing that provides accurate MHL signal generation including all of the impairments necessary to meet MHL CTS 2.1 requirements. The direct synthesis solution provides easier, more repeatable test set-ups and lower cost compared to complex sink-based solutions for generating signal impairments.

"The MHL standard continues to grow and with over 200 adopters and an installed base of more than 260 million products from many of the world's leading consumer and mobile device companies, advanced testing solutions are vital to ensure interoperability across compatible devices," said Solomon Langley, General Manager of Simplay Labs, the leading solutions provider of high-definition testing programs for consumer electronics and mobile industries. "The ongoing collaboration between Tektronix and Simplay Labs ensures that manufacturers have proven test resources that will help them bring fully compliant MHL 2.1 devices to market quickly."

Availability
Option MHD with MHL CTS 2.1 support is available now worldwide. Setups used for MHL CTS 1.2 and 2.0 testing can continue to be used for CTS 2.1.

DoubleBeam Creates First e-Check App for Local Merchants on Leaf's Payments Tablet

App Makes Check Acceptance Easier, More Reliable and Secure for Small Businesses

PASADENA, Calif., July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DoubleBeam, provider of various mobile retailing solutions, today announced the first e-Check app for local merchants built on the Leaf commerce platform. The app enables small and medium size businesses (SMBs) to quickly and easily accept checks from their customers and have the associated funds delivered into their merchant accounts as quickly as the next business day. Merchants using Leaf to run and grow their business can simply download the e-Check app to their LeafPresenter POS and then begin processing checks by snapping pictures of them with the tablet's built-in camera.

"Leaf has done a great job focusing on the needs of SMBs and building an open and accommodating platform to meet their varying needs. We're very excited to partner with Leaf and leverage our mobile SDK to add value to their solution, merchant customers, and ultimately provide flexibility of payments to consumers," says DoubleBeam CEO Ted Tekippe.

DoubleBeam's e-Check app is one of the first publicly-announced apps for the Leaf Appstore, the first app store dedicated to the needs of brick and mortar businesses.  The recently announced Leaf Appstore enables third-party developers such as DoubleBeam to extend the core features built into the LeafPresenter POS tablet and LeafBusiness, the company's cloud-based management and analytics portal.

"Running a small business has become much more complicated than it should be, and many times that's because merchants are forced to work the way their technology works," said Aron Schwarzkopf, Leaf's founder and CEO. "By building our own POS tablet that includes the latest technology, and then opening the platform for creative developers to solve common challenges merchants face, we're making sure they can work the way they want to.  DoubleBeam's e-Check app is a great example of that." 

In addition to its open platform for third-party developers, Leaf maintains an agnostic approach to payment acceptance, meaning that merchants using its platform can work with virtually any payment provider of their choice - from traditional credit card and gift card processors, to next generation payment methods and a number of digital wallets. With DoubleBeam's e-Check app, they can now use the LeafPresenter to accept checks just as easily.

About DoubleBeam

DoubleBeam provides white-labeled mobile retailing solutions for retailers, including payment, data capture, and targeted marketing services. DoubleBeam allows retailers to see huge savings on transaction fees, increased marketing ROI and enriched customer engagement. Additionally, because DoubleBeam operates in a secure cloud-based environment, the solution is easily integrated into existing POS systems. DoubleBeam is located in Pasadena, California.  Visit http://www.doublebeam.com for more information.

About Leaf

Leaf empowers local merchants to run and grow their businesses by providing a mobile payment platform built for local commerce. Leaf's cost-effective product helps retail stores, restaurants, and other local merchants improve the speed and ease of checkout and offers easy-to-use business management, analytics, and customer engagement. By making the complex tasks of running a business easy, Leaf allows merchants to spend more time focusing on what's important - the needs of their customers.

XO Tablet Makes Learning Fun with Free Educational Apps Plus Full Android Functionality On the Only Multilingual, Multi-User, Google-Certified Tablet

New tablet designed and developed by One Laptop Per Child for sale in the U.S. by strategic partner, Vivitar

"The XO Tablet is the first and only tablet designed specifically to help kids explore their dreams and spark their imaginations," said Jeff Saka, president of Vivitar. "Not only does it combine active learning with fun, imaginative play, but parents can also feel confident in giving the durable and secure XO Tablet to children of any age--and they can even use it themselves."

The only multilingual (English/Spanish) and Google-Certified tablet for kids on the market, the XO Tablet and on-board XO Learning System were designed and developed by One Laptop per Child (OLPC) to harness the power of a touchscreen device to create new ways for children to learn.  The tablet's child-friendly interface, cover and packaging were developed by legendary designer Yves Behar and his team at the Fuse Project. Priced affordably at just $149.99 MSRP, the XO Tablet from Vivitar features a 7-inch 1024 x 600 dpi hi-resolution screen and a 1.64GHz dual-core processor running the latest Android Jelly Bean OS with nearly 8 hours of battery life to deliver a high-performance user experience at an exceptional value.

With the innovative XO Journal tool, parents can gain unique insight into how each child is using the device, how much time they spend on each app, and where their interests and strengths lie.

About XO Tablet, XO Learning and One Laptop per Child

The XO Tablet has been fully designed and developed by OLPC to harness the power of a connected touchscreen device to create new ways for children to learn. Its launch also marks the global debut of the XO Learning System, designed as a child-centric interface to empower kids to build, learn and dream as part of OLPC's mission. OLPC was launched in 2005 at the MIT Media Lab as a project to provide a modern education to every child around the world through access to laptops and connected devices.

Kenshoo Unveils ActiveCluster[TM]Technology, Taking Algorithmic Bidding for Search Engine Marketing to New Heights Using New Lows

LONDON, July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

    - Patent-pending technology improves four Kenshoo bidding policies, enables small
campaigns with low levels of data to use algorithmic bidding for first time, and improves
accuracy for large campaigns

    Kenshoo
[http://www.kenshoo.com/?cidp1D0000000KHbu&ch=Public_Relations&ls=Public_Relations&ad=&offer=Kenshoo ]
(http://www.Kenshoo.com), the global leader in premium digital marketing
technology, today unveiled its new ActiveCluster technology. Now integrated with Kenshoo
Search [http://www.kenshoo.com/solutions/kenshoo-search ] and Kenshoo Local
[http://www.kenshoolocal.com ], ActiveCluster lessens keyword conversion data requirements
for algorithmic bidding by more than ten times. This breakthrough enables marketers
running lower-volume search advertising campaigns to tap into algorithmic bidding for the
first time; while increasing the effectiveness of algorithmic bidding for larger
campaigns.

    (Logo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120907/559592 )

    "ActiveCluster takes a unique and dynamic approach compared to other technology on the
market today by using new, more intelligent ways of grouping keywords to make better
predictions about the value of each keyword," said Moti Meir, VP, Head of Research at
Kenshoo. "By grouping keywords based on all the information available about them,
Kenshoo's new ActiveCluster-powered algorithms can bid more effectively, even when low
volumes of data are present."

    By lowering the conversion data requirement, ActiveCluster removes a potential barrier
for marketers hoping to take advantage of algorithmic bidding to improve campaign results.
Moreover, unlike other market solutions that manually group keywords into folders based on
one attribute to create data sufficiency, Kenshoo's ActiveCluster technology automatically
clusters keywords based on all data available and reevaluates the groupings every day to
ensure optimal performance is achieved.

    "With ActiveCluster, Kenshoo continues its track record of innovation and delivers
another competitive advantage to search marketers. Algorithmic bidding offers a tremendous
advantage in today's marketplace, and Kenshoo's ActiveCluster technology makes it more
accessible and effective than ever to deliver industry leading ROI on behalf of our
Fortune 500 customers," said Bryan Boettiger, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at
Parallel Path [http://www.parallelpath.com ].

    ActiveCluster works in conjunction with four of Kenshoo's algorithmic keyword bidding
models: Bid to ROI, Bid to CPC, Bid to Position, and Revenue to Product Targets (a bespoke
model for Product Listing Ads). Each of these models dictate how the algorithm should bid
on various keywords to achieve the desired return on investment, cost-per-click, position
on the search engine results page or revenue for a specific product. Kenshoo's
ActiveCluster technology makes each of these policies more accessible, accurate, and
effective.

    About Kenshoo

AT&T Customers Can Get A New Smartphone Or Tablet Every Year With No Down Payment With "AT&T Next"

No Down Payment, No Upgrade or Activation Fees, and All On The Nation's Fastest 4G LTE Network

AT&T 4G LTE Now Covers More than 225 Million People

DALLAS, July 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, AT&T* introduces what's next in wireless. Beginning nationwide on July 26, consumers can get a new AT&T smartphone or tablet every year with no down payment, no activation fee, no upgrade fee and no financing fees.**

With AT&T Next, customers purchase a smartphone or tablet with no down payment and agree to pay monthly installments for the device. After 12 payments, they can trade it in and upgrade to a brand new device -- again with no down payment -- or they can keep using their device and have no more payments after 20 months. AT&T Next is available for new AT&T customers or existing customers who are upgrade eligible.   

"With AT&T Next, customers can get the newest smartphone or tablet every year with no down payment. That's hard to beat, and it's an incredible value for customers who want the latest and greatest every year," said Ralph de la Vega, president and chief executive officer of AT&T Mobility.

AT&T's 4G LTE network now covers more than 225 million people nationwide and 328 markets. AT&T's 4G LTE deployment is expected to cover 300 million people by year-end 2014, with nearly 90 percent of the build completed by the end of this year.

The great performance of AT&T's network continues to be validated by independent third-party testing. AT&T 4G LTE service was recognized as having faster average download and upload speeds than any of our competitors in PCWorld/TechHive's most recent 20-market speed tests -- the second consecutive year that AT&T has ranked first overall. PCWorld/TechHive also ranked AT&T's as the fastest combination of 3G and 4G services in the 20 cities it tested.*** And AT&T was named America's fastest 4G LTE network in PC Magazine's 2013 Fastest Mobile Networks 30-market study -- and also swept the top rankings in all six U.S. regions from coast to coast: Northeast, Southeast, North-Central, South-Central, Northwest and Southwest.****

AT&T Next is available for any current smartphone or tablet in AT&T's industry-leading selection of devices. The interest-free monthly device installments range from $15 to $50, depending on the device selected. For example, a customer purchasing a Samsung Galaxy(®) S4 would have no down payment and pay $32 per month, in addition to the monthly wireless service plan they choose, with the option to trade in their device and upgrade after 12 payments or to keep using the device and pay off the installment plan in full after 20 months. There's no penalty for paying off the installment plan early.

AT&T offers a broad choice of device purchasing options. In addition to AT&T Next, customers continue to have their choice of all current options, including getting a discounted device with a two-year service commitment; paying full retail price for a device with no-commitment; getting a partial discount for an early upgrade after six months with a two-year service commitment; or bringing their own compatible device.

More information is available at http://www.att.com/next or at any AT&T retail store.

LG Electronics Brings 'Ultra High Definition TV' Into Mainstream, Building On 4K Leadership

Full-Array Backlit LED Display Technology Delivers Superior Picture Performance in LG Ultra HD TVs with New Screen Sizes, Unique Features

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on its success with the industry's first 84-inch class Ultra High Definition flat-panel TV available in the United States, LG Electronics today expanded its 2013 Ultra HD line to include the first full-backlit LED array models in 55- and 65-inch class (54.6- and 64.7-inch diagonal, respectively) screen sizes, making Ultra HD technology available for a larger segment of the market.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130711/CG46421-a)

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130711/CG46421LOGO-b)

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110203/CG42292LOGO-d)

LG Electronics USA chose Southern California as the consumer launch pad for the LA9700 series, teaming up with high-end retailer Video & Audio Center to introduce the new LG Ultra HD TV size and price options to U.S. consumers for the first time at a VIP in-store event.

In addition to unparalleled picture performance, the new LG Ultra HD TVs sport a distinctive industrial design with a slim bezel screen and a 4.1 channel, 50-watt sound system that includes the unique LG "sliding speaker*," a motorized sound bar that magically appears below the screen.

"When we brought the first Ultra HD TV to market last fall, consumer acceptance was surprisingly strong, considering that the 84-inch TV carried a $20,000 pricetag," said Jay Vandenbree, senior vice president, LG Electronics USA, and head of LG's U.S. home entertainment business. "Now, with a wider range of sizes at more attractive prices, even more consumers can enjoy the amazing picture clarity that Ultra HD TVs provide."

Joseph Akhtarzad, vice president and co-owner of Video & Audio Center's three LA-area stores, said, "With LG's launch of the first 84-inch Ultra HD TV in our Los Angeles store, we immediately recognized that consumers were hungry for the type of entertainment experience Ultra HD delivers. Now we are proud to offer the new 55- and 65-inch class LG models for those looking to bring Ultra HD into their homes."

Enhanced Picture and Sound
Ultra HD TV quadruples the resolution of today's Full HD 1080p TVs**. "But other factors contribute to the ultimate in picture performance," says Vandenbree. "That's why we're combining LG's proprietary NANO FULL LED array backlighting with IPS (In-Plane Switching) screen technology in the new LA9700 series."

With LG's NANO technology, LED particles are dispersed across a thin film behind the screen enabling detailed local dimming that provides superior picture control by allowing discrete sections of the LED array to be individually controlled, based on the picture. The result is amazing brightness, deeper blacks and richer colors for better contrast and color accuracy, as well as more overall picture uniformity. LG IPS display technology delivers wider viewing angles with less loss of color accuracy and contrast than traditional panels.

NANO technology adds to the already excellent picture detail and clarity afforded by these TVs' 3840 x 2160 picture resolution. Even before so-called "4K" content is widely available, LG's powerful Tru-Ultra HD engine gives consumers a spectacular Ultra HD entertainment experience employing a proprietary four-step "up-scaling" process to enhance the detail of current HD and SD content.

The LA9700 series will also be the first sets available to incorporate the new H.265 high efficiency video coding (HEVC) decoder, making these models forward-compatible if content providers begin to utilize this new standard for encoding broadcast or streaming content.

LG improved the sound quality of the new TVs by incorporating a unique, built-in, sliding speaker system that delivers an audio experience that's on par with the Ultra HD TVs' impressive 4K resolution. It can be programmed to remain permanently hidden or extended or alternatively, set to silently slide out when the TV is turned on and retract when powered off, allowing it to maintain a minimalist design. Also included is a subwoofer, which is located behind the screen, to ensure strong bass performance.

Early Adopters Embracing Ultra HD
On sale today for the first time at a VIP customer event at Video & Audio Center's Santa Monica store, LG' 55- and 65-inch class Ultra HD LA9700 series also feature LG's Smart TV platform with voice control-capable Magic Remote and CINEMA 3D technology.

Respected industry analyst Richard Doherty, research director for Envisioneering Group, expects the Ultra HD TV market to grow steadily in the United States as the new technology and form-factors go mainstream. "We see U.S. demand growing from high tens of thousands this year to more than tens of millions by 2016. New screen sizes give premium viewers much-wanted new options, and LG's full-array LED displays give those consumers a superb picture to astound family and friends of all ages."

"Early adopters already are embracing Ultra HD TV," said Tom Campbell, industry pundit, widely quoted technologist and director of Video & Audio Center. "Even the most premium consumers are looking for screen sizes that fit their lifestyle, and LG is proving that 4K Ultra HD works in 'smaller' screen sizes. I say that in jest, because for most, a 65- or 55-inch class screen is really big for most rooms."

The new models carry a suggested retail price of $7,999.99 and $5,999.99, respectively. The 84-inch class (84.04 inch diagonal) LG model is available for $19,999. For more information on LG's Ultra HD TVs, please visit http://www.lg.com/us/ultrahdtv/index.jsp.

Digital Realty Signs Turn-Key Flex(SM) Lease With Peak Hosting

Multi-market presence and flexibility key to selecting Digital Realty

SAN FRANCISCO, June 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data center solutions, today announced the commencement of its new Turn-Key Flex(SM) lease with Peak Hosting, a trusted managed Operations-as-a-Service provider. The new lease is for Turn-Key Flex space at Digital Realty's data center located in Ashburn, VA and will expand the brand and service offerings of Peak Hosting and support Peak Hosting's critical operations, including disaster recovery.

"We are very pleased to expand our relationship with Peak Hosting at our Digital Ashburn Datacampus," said Michael F. Foust, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Realty.  "Understanding their business needs in terms of geographic diversity and flexibility enabled us to deliver a data center solution that will support their immediate and long-term growth plans."

"Several factors led to our choosing Digital Realty to expand our east coast footprint," said Jeffrey Papen, founder of Peak Hosting. "We committed to over a megawatt in one of Digital Realty's newest properties where we can leverage our deep consulting and technological experience to build, from scratch, a managed hosting environment where we can implement custom designs to solve the specific business problems that our clients face."

Referring to Digital Realty's data center as a "blank canvas" with an independent power and cooling infrastructure, Papen stated that Peak Hosting's latest expansion will help reduce client costs because of its energy efficiency. He added that Peak Hosting's proprietary AlwaysUp Architecture(SM) allows it to stand alone as the only cloud or managed hosting provider to deliver a 100 percent service level agreement with zero exceptions or carve outs for scheduled or emergency maintenance windows.

For more than a decade, Peak Hosting has positioned itself to allow its clients the freedom to concentrate on the things it cannot outsource, such as developing intellectual property and sales and marketing programs. "For companies with less than 1,000 servers, the economic incentive to do things in-house simply isn't there," said Matt Lewin, Chief Executive Officer for Peak Hosting. "It just becomes a distraction," Lewin said. "We are eliminating 'cloud fatigue' for businesses across the nation and providing the best engineers, architects, and support staff on the Internet. This isn't just 'managed hosting'; it's a fully-outsourced, customized technical operations service." 

"Our commitment to meet customer requirements with flexible and reliable data center solutions will continue to differentiate us in the market place," said Matt Miszewski, Senior Vice President, Sales of Digital Realty.  "Not every provider can offer the same level of commitment to customers - and we excel at seamlessly putting the right pieces together in order to deliver the best data center solution so that our customers can extend their brand and services in the way that Peak Hosting is doing today."

Digital Realty's Turn-Key Flex? solution is a modular approach to delivering secure, enterprise quality data center space to meet customers' just-in-time requirements. Designed to provide maximum flexibility, reliability and efficiency, each Turn-Key Flex facility comes fully commissioned with its own dedicated electrical and mechanical infrastructure.  Utilizing Digital Realty's proprietary POD Architecture® and extensive supply chain, Digital Realty's next generation Turn-Key Flex data center solution is designed for the future and ready today.
