ATA Engineering Wins Top NASA Quality Award
SAN DIEGO, July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- ATA Engineering has recently been named the winner of the 2012 George M. Low award, NASA's premier quality and performance award recognizing contractors that share the space agency's commitment to technical and managerial excellence.
As the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's small business services nominee, ATA Engineering was evaluated against other top NASA contractors competing for the prestigious award. ATA Engineering's work supporting the Mars Science Lab (Curiosity) and other major NASA programs was considered in a stringent evaluation of ATA Engineering's technical performance, business practices, teamwork, innovation, and leadership, and the final selection was made following a visit by NASA officials to ATA Engineering's headquarters in San Diego.
The award, named after former NASA deputy administrator and quality leader George M. Low, was officially given to ATA Engineering by NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. Among the traits singled out as award-worthy were ATA Engineering's ability to solve difficult problems such as those involved in the design of Curiosity's sampling system and its dedication to a team-focused workplace and small-business contracting.
"We are honored to be recognized for being part of the very successful NASA team," Dr. Mary Baker, president of ATA Engineering, responded. "Our relationship with NASA is of the highest importance to us, and we look forward to many more years of providing top-quality service and innovation to help meet NASA's ever-advancing mission."
ATA Engineering is widely recognized in the aerospace community as a leading provider of advanced design, testing, and analysis services, having been selected for JPL's Small Business Subcontractor of the Year and Thomas H. May Legacy of Excellence awards, as well as various other NASA awards recognizing group efforts on programs such as Ares I-X and MLAS.
For over 35 years of operation, ATA has offered a diverse range of advanced design, analysis and test services and provided high-value design solutions for structural, mechanical, electromechanical, and aerospace products. For more information, visit ATA's website at http://www.ata-e.com.

Azumio Introduces Argus
FIRST APP TO MONITOR YOUR ACTIVITIES, FOOD, SLEEP AND VITALS, BY USING ADVANCED ALGORITHMS AND NEW INNOVATIVE USER INTERFACE
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Azumio, the leading provider of consumer health and fitness apps, today introduced Argus, a breakthrough mobile app that provides a unified picture of your health and fitness, unlike anything on the market. Argus turns your smartphone into a sophisticated health and fitness device as it monitors and manages your activities, food, sleep patterns, exercise, hydration, caffeine-consumption, weight and vitals, helping you make sense of numerous biofeedback data points to reach your health goals and improve overall well-being.
Argus unifies all your statistics and user input into one view and provides context around the data to make it actionable. The app automatically and seamlessly brings together information from sensors on your smartphone, data from other Azumio apps, and details from a variety of other health and fitness apps and third party wearable devices - helping you make sense of it all.
Inside Argus, each entry is presented as a thumbnail-sized visual cell. Groups of cells are aligned in a honeycomb-structured timeline and can be expanded to retrieve more detailed information. By pressing a specific cell for two seconds, the app will intelligently aggregate data of the same type - like the number of steps you've walked each day, photos of the food you've eaten, your running session or workout - to provide instant insight into the data history by category. When anything changes on any of the connected apps or wearable devices, Argus will update its timeline instantly, saving you the task of switching from app to app, or cross-referencing data to understand correlations.
For the first time, users can now identify their own developing health trends by examining the correlation between various metrics and data points. For example, Argus can analyze your weight versus the food you eat on a daily, weekly or monthly basis; measure your resting heart rate as it relates to the number of steps you've taken; correlate the distance you've run compared to the volume of water consumed; illustrate the amount of oily foods consumed against sleep patterns; and many other combinations, to offer brand new insights into the cause-and-effect of actions on our bodies and habits.
"The most frequent request from our user base of over 40 million customers has been for something that would combine all their health and fitness data into one place," said Bojan Bostjancic, CEO of Azumio. "This is exactly what we've done with Argus - it serves as the fabric for your wearable devices and other health apps and presents your data in context. Reaching your health and fitness goals will be easier and more fun with Argus".
Argus works with existing fitness devices and apps, including Withings' weight scale and the MapMyFitness app as well as a selection of Azumio's existing apps, including Fitness Buddy, the personal training companion with over 1,700 exercises; Instant Heart Rate, the world's most popular heart monitor; Sleep Time, which monitors and analyzes your sleep cycles; and Instant Fitness, which provides voice-cued home workouts. All of your activities, bio-data, and completed workouts automatically populate in the Argus timeline and can be started directly through the activity menu.
Tracking physical activities like steps, running or biking has never been easier. Argus automatically differentiates a walk from a run and records it accordingly, adding in pace, distance, and a GPS-map. It then posts this data on your timeline when you've completed your workout.
Recording the foods you eat on Argus is just one click away - easy and fun. Simply snap a photo of your meal, map it to the provided food groups - fruit, veggies, protein, dairy, grain, fat - and you're done. No need to input portion sizes, calories or menu details. The data is then used to help you change your eating habits to achieve your goal of gaining or losing weight.
Achieving goals with the help of close friends or relatives is easier and more fun than ever. Argus allows you to create private groups of friends on Facebook to share your biking, running and workout sessions, as well as photos of the food you've eaten. Each individual entry on the Argus timeline can be shared with your close friends on Argus, or the larger social circle on Facebook - helping impact your habits and creating awareness and accountability. Argus also provides up to three personalized health and fitness goals to track on a daily or weekly basis, and offers suggestions and proactive reminders for encouragement.
Argus works by integrating the latest technologies - from motion-sensing and gesture-recognition, to intelligent algorithms that track location and context data - while preserving battery power on your smartphone. Argus works in the background 24/7 and displays your data on your timeline in real time.
If your goal is to become more fit, to better manage your weight or to improve your sleep, then Argus is your best health and fitness companion. - managing and improving your health is now easier, simpler and more fun with Argus.
Argus is a free app available today for the iPhone. To download, visit http://azumio.com/getargus. For more information, visit Azumio.com or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

A Leap Forward for Interactive Launchers
Innovative 3D Home: A New Concept for the Mobile Phone Home Screen
CUPERTINO, Calif., July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Borqs International Holding Corp, a leading global end-to-end Android and cloud software solutions provider, recently announced the official release of its latest smart phone home screen launcher, featuring a unique 3D UI, titled "3D Home." 3D Home displays three dimensional objects on a conventional cell phone screen, providing a genuine 3D experience and giving its users tremendous abilities for mobile phone customization and file management. 3D Home boasts a completely new way to engage with the content on your home screen, and users can manage apps on the home screen with a freedom that radically challenges mobile UI convention.
3D Home gives users their own personal, exclusive cell phone space, in the form of a personalized living room. When users install 3D Home, their home screen transforms into a spacious eight-walled entertainment area. The resulting home screen, which supports 360° rotation, can be controlled by swiping vertically or horizontally. Sliding left or right swivels the users around the room and to face the different walls, while sliding up and down shifts the viewpoint to the sky above or ground below. The effects are optimized to be fluid and perfectly smooth. The UI's house has a completely humanized, ergonomic and modern design, providing users with a warm and cozy visual experience.
In the middle of your room, Borqs' designers have placed a rotating table to serve as the primary application launcher for users to select and arrange their favorite apps. In keeping with the UI's general 3D theme, all app icons respond to the physical world of the 3D Home. These intuitive icons are designed specifically to make the user feel at home.
3D Home also uses real-world objects to replace simple app icons. A long-press on the wall presents the user with a drop-down menu where users can add 3D objects, an app icon, or an additional shortcut. Users can fully customize their home with their favorite 3D objects and apps to display on the table and walls. There is also a Shop where users can find many more download options and rich resources designed to meet all of a customer's demands.
3D Home also gives users many more ways to create an individualized home screen. The "Configuration Settings" let users select their favorite themes and 3D objects. Users can decorate their rooms from a selection of 8 different wallpaper themes, based on work or lifestyle, which are further complemented by theme-specific icons.
3D Home gives users a refreshing change and a completely new cell phone experience with a far more personal and engaging 3D touch than anything that has come before.
3D Home currently supports Android 4.0.2 and above and can be found online at all major domestic and international app stores and forums. Log in today and try Borqs 3D Home's extraordinary 3D experience for you. 3D Home is available from Google Play, apk.hiapk.com, Anzhi, 360 Mobile App Store and MM. You can also check the below link to view 3D Home Demo Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUNHWMqBW1Q

MCCI Announces MBIM USB Drivers for Mac OS X

MCCI Announces MBIM USB Drivers for Mac OS X
TOKYO, July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MCCI(R) Corporation (http://www.mcci.com/mcci-v5/index.html), a leading developer of USB drivers and firmware for the high-volume personal computer and portable device markets announced on July 1 Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) USB host function drivers for Mac OS X.
"MBIM is the new industry standard architecture for wireless broadband modems," said Terry Moore, CEO, MCCI. "It replaces AT commands with a modern message-based API. Data transfer is accelerated by replacing PPP data encapsulation with direct transport of IP packets, so the data going over USB matches the data going over the cellular network. Our MBIM drivers for Mac OS X let modem manufacturers use exactly the same firmware that they use for Windows platforms, increasing the throughput and decreasing the test and validation time."
The efficient data-transport architecture used in MBIM was first developed for the USB NCM specification. "Because MCCI edited the specification and did the industry's first implementation of NCM and MBIM, our encoding and decoding algorithms are the most efficient in the industry," Moore noted. "In addition to chairing the MBIM committee during the development of the specification, MCCI also developed the industry's only device validation test, the MBIM Device Verification Tool (MBIMDVT). We have an incomparable depth of understanding and experience."
The driver package, suitable for LTE-Advanced modems, supports very high throughput, demonstrating up to 180 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink with a compliant modem over the air. It includes advance multifunction device support, allowing one set of device descriptors to support both Windows and Mac OS X. Applications and installation software can be delivered to the end user via a virtual CD-ROM image embedded in the modem. Installer and uninstaller are included.
Related products include embedded firmware for implementing MBIM modems (available as part of the MCCI USB DataPump); the MBIM validation tool MBIMDVT, NCM drivers for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, QNX, Windows CE, and TrueTask USB; embedded firmware for implementing NCM for data communication and MirrorLink support (available as part of the MCCI USB DataPump and TrueTask USB); USB logo testing and WHQL testing services; and design and implementation services.
About MCCI
MCCI is a leading developer of embedded USB software for the high-volume personal computer and portable device markets.

TOKYO, July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- MCCI(R) Corporation (http://www.mcci.com/mcci-v5/index.html), a leading developer of USB drivers and firmware for the high-volume personal computer and portable device markets announced on July 1 Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) USB host function drivers for Mac OS X.
"MBIM is the new industry standard architecture for wireless broadband modems," said Terry Moore, CEO, MCCI. "It replaces AT commands with a modern message-based API. Data transfer is accelerated by replacing PPP data encapsulation with direct transport of IP packets, so the data going over USB matches the data going over the cellular network. Our MBIM drivers for Mac OS X let modem manufacturers use exactly the same firmware that they use for Windows platforms, increasing the throughput and decreasing the test and validation time."
The efficient data-transport architecture used in MBIM was first developed for the USB NCM specification. "Because MCCI edited the specification and did the industry's first implementation of NCM and MBIM, our encoding and decoding algorithms are the most efficient in the industry," Moore noted. "In addition to chairing the MBIM committee during the development of the specification, MCCI also developed the industry's only device validation test, the MBIM Device Verification Tool (MBIMDVT). We have an incomparable depth of understanding and experience."
The driver package, suitable for LTE-Advanced modems, supports very high throughput, demonstrating up to 180 Mbps downlink and 50 Mbps uplink with a compliant modem over the air. It includes advance multifunction device support, allowing one set of device descriptors to support both Windows and Mac OS X. Applications and installation software can be delivered to the end user via a virtual CD-ROM image embedded in the modem. Installer and uninstaller are included.
Related products include embedded firmware for implementing MBIM modems (available as part of the MCCI USB DataPump); the MBIM validation tool MBIMDVT, NCM drivers for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Android, QNX, Windows CE, and TrueTask USB; embedded firmware for implementing NCM for data communication and MirrorLink support (available as part of the MCCI USB DataPump and TrueTask USB); USB logo testing and WHQL testing services; and design and implementation services.

eCycleBest Beats the Competition for iPhone 4S Buy Back Prices

eCycleBest Beats the Competition for iPhone 4S Buy Back Prices
RENO, Nev., July 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- eCycleBest.com, a leader in green electronics buy back services, is now offering top dollar for used iPhones, beating offers by most major competitors, including WalMart and Best Buy, by $100 or more. The company, a trusted iPhone buyer, is responding to the upcoming launch of the iPhone 5S and the iPhone Light. Both upgrades, scheduled for release in 2013, will be marketed as affordable alternatives to their upscale predecessors.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130703/DE41289)
To make way for the new inventory, top electronics retailers are scrambling to exhaust their iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 stock, offering models at prices up to 70% less than before: for example, WalMart customers can get the iPhone 4S for as low as $30 and the iPhone 5 for $129, while Best Buy fans are locking in on a free iPhone 5 for an iPhone 4S trade-in, or a price cut of $50 on either the 4S or the 5. At first glance, these deals seem hard to beat - that is, until you crunch the numbers.
While the prices are certainly appealing, there's a catch - each promotion comes with a required 2-year service contract commitment with a major US carrier which can run anywhere from $1,200 for an individual plan to $2,040 for a shared plan. And, in the case of Best Buy's free iPhone 5 offer, the traded 4S has to be in good working condition, and the $150 payback is only issued in trade-in credit - never cash. Added to these stipulations is the fact that when the new models arrive later this year, customers who were lured by these promotions will be limited for the next twenty four months by a dated phone with fewer features and diminished usability.
Dave Kruchin, the company's founder and CEO, stated that because they specialize in iPhone buy backs, they can pass that on to their clients in cash value. "We are very much aware that the iPhone 4S holds more resale value than any of its closest non-Apple competitors," said Kruchin. "In fact, Piper Jaffray came out with a very interesting report last May that identified a 7% loss in value for the iPhone 4S and an 11.2% decline in value for the iPhone 5 based on resale prices in the US." This translates into good news for the savvy consumer. eCycleBest offers as much as $259 for an iPhone 4S in good condition; $155 for one that doesn't power on; $220 if it has a faulty battery; and $168 if the screen is damaged. And by paying via PayPal or check, the company gives their clients the freedom to spend their cash wherever they want.
Finally, there's an undeniable "feel good" factor when dealing with eCycleBest, which, since its 2002 inception, has dedicated itself to keeping toxic e-waste out of U.S. landfills without contributing to the global e-waste crisis. It also stands by its commitment to ensure that all traded devices are processed and sold in the U.S. market as quality refurbished products and genuine repair/replacement parts.
So when it comes to trading in your iPhone, think green - for both your wallet and the planet.

"raremonoshop" is an e-commerce website specializing in digital goods. The main concept is to provide products that not only have a good design but are also unique and useful in function.
Till now, we were operating within the domestic market due to distribution-related issues. But after working out the details of an overseas payment system based on "PayPal" and product delivery using EMS and international mail, we have now opened the new service for the global market.
We'll keep expanding our lineup of useful and unique products like the necktie with a cooling fan or the mini desk that lets you use laptops, tablets, etc. while lying on your back. So watch out for our new products.
10% OFF SPECIAL OFFER
On the occasion of the opening of "raremonoshop", we have introduced a special campaign "10% OFF SPECIAL OFFER". Between July 2 and July 31, you will get 10% off on all our products for all purchases worth 50 U.S. dollars or more.
A new original product for sale!
Together with the opening of "raremonoshop", we are launching a new, unique and revolutionary product fit for the new e-commerce website -- "a music player that converts your records and cassettes to MP3s on a micro SD with no need for a computer".
The main topic for this product is the "Auto individual tracking function". When you digitize a cassette tape or an analog record using the existing products, several songs get converted into a single MP3 file, and to access each song you have to use the fast-forward and pause buttons again and again. But, with the "Auto individual tracking function" in this new product, each song will be saved as a separate MP3 file automatically, so you can access them easily.
Please have a look at the product page for details. http://www.raremonoshop.jp/a-music-player-that-convert-your-records-and-cassettes-to-mp3s-on-a-microsd-with-no-need-for-a-computer.html

B&O PLAY Launches Two New Sets of Premium Headphones with Optimized Music Performance
Challenging technological barriers to present a sound experience tailored for a life on the move
TORONTO, July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- B&O PLAY by BANG & OLUFSEN proudly announces the launch of two new headphones. The headphones are significant as they combine quality craftsmanship with enduring materials and use the latest technology to make portable music sound better. BeoPlay H3, available now, is a superior and comfortable in-ear headphone for people in action; and BeoPlay H6, available in August 2013, is a super soft, flexible over-ear headphone. Both sets of headphones feature a sound performance that takes audio to another level.

B&O PLAY builds on core values of craftsmanship and technology for a new type of contemporary products, which deliver excellent high-quality music experiences and are optimized for a life on the move. Now, with the launch of the new BeoPlay H3 and BeoPlay H6, customers can experience state of the art technology that reproduces the original sound material as authentically as possible , even while they are on the go. Henrik Taudorf Lorensen, VP of B&O PLAY indicates, "A wide range of headphones on the market today compromise on quality and sound performance. In the making of BeoPlay H3 and H6, we've worked with professional sound technicians and studio musicians, to offer people a pristine sound experience in a package that is a delight to wear."
Best in class audio performance
To get the best possible sound experience, B&O PLAY conducted extensive studies in the shape and curves of the human ear to find suitable geometries that minimize sound leakage and reveal all the fine details in the music at any given volume level.
BeoPlay H6 offers a truly natural and authentic sound performance with focus on getting a clear midrange and a balanced bass and treble performance. BeoPlay H6 is designed around 40 mm custom designed drivers with neodymium magnets that are perfectly angled to get the best distance and sound direction into the ears. BeoPlay H6 features an internal bass port to deliver a well-balanced bass performance in a closed headphone design.
BeoPlay H3 features a custom-designed 10,8 mm driver and the new Micro Bass Port for a dynamic and balanced full tone sound design. The structural rigidity of the aluminium body provides acoustic precision for a clear musical experience. Together with the 23 ventilation holes, BeoPlay H3 is tuned to deliver an unstrained open sound stage.
Craft in craftsmanship
BeoPlay H3 and H6 are made of anodized high-grade aluminium. With the long history of material excellence in aluminum, B&O PLAY is able to construct BeoPlay H3 and H6 to be surprisingly light, as well as robust and scratch-resistant. The housing of BeoPlay H3 is milled from a single block of high-grade solid aluminum. BeoPlay H6 has anodized aluminum on the adjustable slider arm and cover plate to complete the design with a final vibrant touch.
The solid cowhide leather on the BeoPlay H6 headphones comes from New Zealand where the cows roam in controlled pastures and only the very highest quality hides are selected. Each leather product is completely natural and the leather is dyed with a tanning process that provides colors in rich and warm tones. The careful selection of materials and focus on craftsmanship ensures that the headphones patinate beautifully and create a personalized look as time go by.
B&O PLAY has collaborated with Danish industrial designer Jakob Wagner in the shaping of BeoPlay H3 and H6. Wagner is both trained as a mechanical engineer and industrial designer which make him skilled in all practical stages of the design process. With the new headphones, B&O PLAY and Jakob Wagner has created two unique products that are designed for music, crafted with high quality materials that are durable and long-lasting.
"We have huge expectations for these premium headphones," states Zean Nielsen, President of Bang & Olufsen America, Inc. "Our customers have been yearning for a quality alternative to the headphones that are on the market today. With H6 and H3's arrival, we will now offer a premium headphone that delivers a best in class audio experience and authentic design that we know will resonate with our brand enthusiasts and music lovers across the country."
The H3 retails for$290 CDN and the H6 for $460 CDN. The H3 is available now at Bang & Olufsen stores across Canada, shopbangolufsen.com, the B&O PLAY online store (beoplay.com), Apple retail stores, and Apple Online. The H6 will be available nationwide in August 2013.

Coverity Introduces Monthly Spotlight Series for Coverity Scan Open Source Projects
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Coverity, Inc., the leader in development testing, today announced that due to extraordinary demand for the annual Coverity Scan((TM)) Report and the insight it provides into the state of open source software quality, Coverity will create and release a new series of Coverity Scan Project Spotlights, beginning with the popular Samba project. Each month, Coverity will highlight an open source project and analyze the quality of its software, including defect density as compared to the industry average defect density for good quality software and types of defects identified. The Project Spotlight will also include an interview with a key contributor or maintainer for the project.
Samba, which was one of the initial open source projects included in the Coverity Scan service, is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and Unix. While the project has seen its code base more than triple in size over the past seven years, it has maintained a high commitment to quality as it has scaled. Since 2006, the Coverity Scan service has identified 2,510 new defects of which the Samba community has fixed 1,940.
The Coverity Scan Report has become a widely accepted standard for measuring the state of open source software quality. The 2012 Scan Report found that for open source projects based on more than one million lines of code, the average defect density for good quality software is .75. In 2013, Samba had an average defect density of just .59.
"As open source software continues to proliferate into the commercial software supply chain, so does the demand for visibility into code quality and security," said Jennifer Johnson, chief marketing officer for Coverity. "Our mission with the Coverity Scan service is to provide the industry with an objective benchmark that commercial projects can use to assess open source software quality, and ultimately increase the adoption of open source software. Based on the demand we've seen for our annual Coverity Scan report, we realized this data is too important to be shared just once a year."

The pair has a heavy list of celebrity co-signs and has now ventured into the Electronic Musical Instruments world with Casio on the limited edition customized XW-P1 synthesizer. All of the details within the XW-P1 synthesizer were enhanced with the duo's style.
"We are thrilled with the end result of the synthesizer. We hope some very deserving musicians win the 'two of a kind' units from Casio and enjoy the unique Lego® block design and neon leopard print patterns," said designer, Dee Jackson.
Equipped with 61 keys and Casio's exclusive (HPSS) Hybrid Processing Sound Source, the XW-P1 provides screaming virtual analog monophonic leads and basses, drawbar organs, complex layers, stereo pianos, drums and more to produce the sounds and real-time control any performing musician needs.
A six oscillator monophonic solo synth is just one of the amazing sound engines in the XW-P1. Two virtual analog style oscillators, two PCM based oscillators, a noise oscillator and an external oscillator via mic and line inputs can be combined to make up a single solo synth tone. Each oscillator has an independent filter, envelopes, independent key tracking, portamento, two LFO's and access to master resonant filter.
Furthermore, the XW-P1 has four real-time controller knobs, pitch bend and modulation wheels, along with nine sliders to provide control over internal sounds and external devices. Through standard MIDI ports and with a class-compliant USB port the keyboard can be used as a controller for other instruments, including computer software and iPad® based software applications. It also includes an audio input allowing you to monitor an MP3 player, computer or other device without the need for a mixer.

Five Short Stories in one Special Episode for the Winner of over 90 Game of the Year Awards
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading publisher of digital entertainment Telltale Games and Robert Kirkman, the Eisner Award-winning creator and writer of The Walking Dead for his Skybound imprint at Image Comics, announced today that The Walking Dead: 400 Days, DLC for The Walking Dead: Season One, is now available for purchase on PlayStation®Network in North America for PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
Release follows on PC/Mac via Steam and other digital outlets on July 3(rd), Xbox LIVE Marketplace for Xbox®360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft on July 5(th) and will be available as an in-app purchase for compatible iOS devices on July 10(th) for The Walking Dead: The Game, which is available in the App Store. 400 Days is also targeted for release on PlayStation®Network in European territories on July 10(th).
The Walking Dead: 400 Days tells new stories of survival through the eyes of five new characters. It is linked to Season One and the forthcoming Season Two by player choice; decisions made in Season One will affect 400 Days and choices made in 400 Days will resonate into Season Two. Playable in any order, the five connected stories are centered in and around a truck stop on a Georgia highway, where players will be thrust into horrifying situations that will test their morals and control the flow of the story through their decisions and actions.
400 Days was previewed at the 2013 E3 Expo in Los Angeles, earning awards and nominations from top critics and media outlets, including 'Most Valuable Game' honors from Official Xbox Magazine and PC Gamer, as well as 'Best Adventure Game' awards from Nerdist and Game Informer, who said, "...everything you know and love from about Telltale's The Walking Dead is right here again."
The Walking Dead: Season One is also coming to the PlayStation®Vita handheld game and computer entertainment system in August and will include The Walking Dead: 400 Days. Featuring hybrid touch controls unique to PS®Vita, fans can now take the apocalypse on the road and enjoy the entirety of Season One in one package.
"400 Days offers excellent connective tissue between Seasons One and Two, but stands as an excellent anthology of Walking Dead stories in its own right," said Dan Connors, Co-Founder and CEO of Telltale Games. "We're excited to give fans an opportunity to see more of Robert Kirkman's world, and live with more edge-of-your-seat choice and consequence as we head towards Season Two, coming later this year."

The Walking Dead: 400 Days is US$4.99 or equivalent as downloadable content for The Walking Dead: Season One. As DLC, The Walking Dead: 400 Days requires that Episode One of Season One is installed on a user's game system in order to play.
The Walking Dead is set in the world of Robert Kirkman's award-winning comic book series and offers an emotionally-charged, tailored game experience where a player's actions and choices affect how their story plays out across the entire series.

Monster Watts Declares Independence from Cumbersome Charger Wires by Giving Away 50,000 Free WiQiQi Wireless Charger Receivers for Samsung Galaxy S4 and S3

Monster Watts Declares Independence from Cumbersome Charger Wires by Giving Away 50,000 Free WiQiQi Wireless Charger Receivers for Samsung Galaxy S4 and S3
Purchase an advanced 2nd generation WiQiQi wireless charging pad and get a free ultra thin receiver to enjoy the freedom of wireless charging
NEW YORK, July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- In an effort to spread the freedom of wireless charging, Monster Watts is giving away 50,000 WiQiQi wireless charger receivers to help free Samsung Galaxy S4 and S3 phones from clumsy wires.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130702/PH41471-b )
Wireless charging systems require a charging pad, and a receiver to work. The 1(st) generation WiQiQi wireless charger sets for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S3 were a hit with both retailers and users because the ultra thin receivers fit inside the phone-under the back covers and kept the original thin body and lightweight designs. Therefore, the phones fit into standard cases and docks.
In contrast, Samsung's own $90 wireless charger add-on package for the S4 has the receiver as part of a thicker replacement back cover which makes the phone unable to fit into most cases and docks. The charging pad also does not come with an AC adapter and must be powered by the Samsung phone charger.
The two new 2(nd) generation WiQiQi charging pads have improvements such as lower heat, better wireless connection, and automatic power reduction when the battery is full. Both can also work with any Qi compatible devices.
The Curve charging pad is stylishly oval and comes in black, with a free AC adapter. It can charge the WiQiQi receiver-equipped S4 or S3 phone through most soft cases. The more powerful Versa is white, rectangular, and comes with a free AC adapter. It can charge through thicker cases. Its compact size and standard micro USB connector is designed so that it can also be used in a car (with any 5V USB port or plug).
Both regular priced WiQiQi Curve and Versa wireless charging pads, and complete sets for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S3 are available now.
Exclusive Free WiQiQi Wireless Charger Receiver Offer
Monster Watts has authorized its exclusive online retailer ViveAlive.net to offer special packages that include a WiQiQi wireless charger receiver for the S4 or S3 ($25 value) at no charge with the purchase of the Curve charging pad ($35.99) or Versa charging pad ($45.99).
This special offer is limited to 50,000 sets, and is available only at http://www.ViveAlive.net while supply lasts, and cannot be combined with any other discounts. Shipping for this offer will start the 4(th) week in July.

Surround Video Makes Producing Panoramic Video Easy for Everyone

Surround Video Makes Producing Panoramic Video Easy for Everyone
GRONINGEN, The Netherlands, July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
On Tuesday, Surround Video will officially introduce the first end-to-end system to make panoramic video. With this video equipment, everyone will now be able to make and broadcast their own panoramic video recordings.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130702/625289)
The Dutch company's video system mainly distinguishes itself by its simplicity and ease of use. The recording and broadcasting of video images require the user to only take a few steps. "In fact, all you have to do is connect an internet cable to the device and to an internet connection and you are ready to record and broadcast straight away," according to Marc Groothelm, Managing Director of Surround Video.
Part of the recording system is a special camera with six separate lenses: five in a horizontal circle and one pointed upwards. The signals of those lenses are sent to a so-called "base unit", a processing device with a touch screen which processes the separate video images to one seamless whole and transmits it to an online distribution platform. From there the images can be distributed online.
The result is a panoramic video, which is shown inside a virtual sphere. In this sphere, viewers can decide for themselves, where they want to look, by using a mouse, a touch screen or the gyroscope in their smart phone or tablet. The Groningen company's technique most closely resembles that of Google Streetview, the most important difference being that Surround Video involves panoramic video instead of stills.
"Many producers of TV shows or other forms of video have difficulties providing compelling, additional content online. With panoramic videos they would be able to offer their viewers much more complementary information on already successful 'traditional' formats through their online channels -- both live and on demand - about recording locations, storylines or actors. With Surround Video they can fully leverage all interactive functionalities the Internet has to offer," explains Groothelm.
Statistics show that panoramic video material is catching on. People watch panoramic video images three times over on average; a huge difference compared to online traditional video materials.
Moreover, thanks to the simplicity of the Surround Video system, video producers do not or hardly have to change anything in the way they work. "Our system fits into the existing work flows", according to Groothelm.

GRONINGEN, The Netherlands, July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
On Tuesday, Surround Video will officially introduce the first end-to-end system to make panoramic video. With this video equipment, everyone will now be able to make and broadcast their own panoramic video recordings.

The Dutch company's video system mainly distinguishes itself by its simplicity and ease of use. The recording and broadcasting of video images require the user to only take a few steps. "In fact, all you have to do is connect an internet cable to the device and to an internet connection and you are ready to record and broadcast straight away," according to Marc Groothelm, Managing Director of Surround Video.
Part of the recording system is a special camera with six separate lenses: five in a horizontal circle and one pointed upwards. The signals of those lenses are sent to a so-called "base unit", a processing device with a touch screen which processes the separate video images to one seamless whole and transmits it to an online distribution platform. From there the images can be distributed online.
The result is a panoramic video, which is shown inside a virtual sphere. In this sphere, viewers can decide for themselves, where they want to look, by using a mouse, a touch screen or the gyroscope in their smart phone or tablet. The Groningen company's technique most closely resembles that of Google Streetview, the most important difference being that Surround Video involves panoramic video instead of stills.

-- Technology that makes shopping interesting and playful, like
touchscreens and apps that help shoppers understand the benefits of
products;

"We have pre-tested with consumer panels a number of the concepts that are rolling out in the 2268 Broadway store, and we know that consumers are excited about them," Mr. Magnacca said. "But based on my nearly 30 years in retail I know that the proof of concept always comes when shoppers begin exploring the stores, and that the evolution of the shopping experience never ends. We will fine-tune the concepts people are seeing here today, and by making the experience a fun one for the consumer, with the right mix of products, placement and price, we expect be able to build the trajectory of RadioShack's growth and profitability."

Remote Control Capability for Industry-leading Handheld Instruments Introduced by Anritsu Company
-- Technicians and Engineers Can Use 'Master' RF/Microwave Analyzers to Conduct Tower Top Jumper Sweeps from Ground and Remote Spectrum Monitoring --
MORGAN HILL, Calif., July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Company introduces Wireless Remote Tools(TM) for its touchscreen PIM Master(TM), Site Master(TM), Spectrum Master(TM), and VNA Master(TM) handheld instruments. With the software installed, field technicians and engineers can remotely view screens and control the industry-leading field instruments using a Windows(TM)-based laptop, PC or tablet, simplifying the deployment, installation, and maintenance of 2G/3G/4G wireless networks.

Wireless Remote Tools is free of charge and makes conducting field measurements, such as sweeps, spectrum analysis, PIM, and S-parameters, easier and more efficient. Operators can now remain on the ground and use a Site Master cable and antenna analyzer to conduct sweeps on jumpers at the top of the tower. Remote spectrum monitoring can also be done more effectively, especially if the interference is caused by an intermittent signal. Users can now monitor and control a Spectrum Master handheld spectrum analyzer at a remote location, such as a desk, using the software.
Wireless Remote Tools initially supports the Site Master S331E/S332E and S361E/S362E; VNA Master MS2024B/MS2025B and MS2034B/MS2035B handheld vector network analyzers; Spectrum Master MS2712E/MS2713E and MS2720T; and PIM Master MW82119A Passive Intermodulation analyzer. The handheld instruments can be connected remotely from the Ethernet port on the analyzer through the Internet or via a Wi-Fi link using a pocket Wi-Fi router for local remote control.
Users can download Wireless Remote Tools by visiting the Anritsu Tool box web page.

The new software release includes three powerful new connected services to help professional drivers manage time and costs in their businesses: Real-time fuel prices, local search, and a premium enhanced traffic service
In addition to the new features, Rand McNally announced today that those drivers who purchase and register a new IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 720 LM or a new IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 520 LM device between July 1 and August 31, 2013, are eligible to receive one of the new premium features - Traffic Everywhere - complimentary for one year.**
"The new software release, our ongoing lifetime maps program, and now our offer of a free year of the most comprehensive traffic service available, all reflect our ongoing commitment to providing cost saving features to the professional driver," said Dave Muscatel, CEO of Rand McNally.
The new software update features both premium and standard connected services, available via Wi-Fi®:
-- Traffic Everywhere: With drivers wasting 38 hours annually in traffic,
gridlock on the nation's roads costs professional drivers $27 billion in
wasted time and diesel fuel each year.(1) Traffic Everywhere helps
professional drivers avoid costly delays with real-time and predictive
analytics for the road ahead and will show what to expect before key
junctions. Powered by INRIX(®), Traffic Everywhere offers professional
drivers complete coverage beyond major metro areas across highways,
interstates and local roads as well as major truck routes in rural
areas. Traffic Everywhere is a premium service that will be available
for purchase via the Rand McNally Dock(TM). The annual fee is $19.99.
-- Fuel prices: Powered by the market leader in fuel pricing,
gasbuddy.com, this feature provides up-to-date fuel prices in real-time
along a route and nearby. Includes diesel and gas prices. In addition,
fuel prices and fuel stop icons can be shown on a map and in list
format, viewable by brand, price, or distance to location. This feature
enables a driver to save cost by routing to either the least expensive
fuel, or the closest fuel stop in their preferred network. This service
is on device, no subscription cost.
-- Local search: An Internet-based search finds points of interest on the
device using a free-form keyword search, such as "steak", "haircut" or
"tools" to find locations that provide the requested item or service.
This feature enables drivers to be as efficient as possible in searching
for desired stops close by or on their route. This service is on device,
no subscription cost.
In addition to connected capabilities, the update includes:
-- Lifetime maps and construction updates - Provided via the Rand McNally
Dock(TM), maps and construction updates allow for more accurate truck
routing and estimated time of arrival.
-- Award-winning truck-specific maps and routing - Includes an updated road
network with truck navigation incorporating legal and physical
restrictions including axle-count support, plus page-and-grid references
to Rand McNally's 2014 Motor Carriers' Road Atlas.
-- Compare Routes - Provides a primary route and a reasonable alternate,
allowing the driver to choose. Both routes are presented on a map for a
quick review.
-- Team Driver Timers - Allows for a second set of driver timers to be
maintained on the device.
-- Address Book transfers - Enables the download of an address book from
another device or computer; the user may select to "merge" or
"overwrite" existing addresses on the device.
-- Fuel economy tracking - Enhanced fuel logs provide current and average
miles per gallon calculation for a route, can be viewed by month and by
quarter, and exported to the drivers' Mac or PC.
The new software release is available to existing registered owners of an IntelliRoute® TND(TM) 720 device via download from the Rand McNally Dock(TM). Information and terms and conditions about the Traffic Everywhere promotion can be found here.

Barix Delivers First SIP-Compatible Hardware Device for Crestron Rava(TM)-enabled Touch Screens
ZURICH, July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- IP audio and control specialist Barix, which in January announced its intent to support Crestron Rava((TM)) SIP intercom and phone technology, today announces the availability of the Annuncicom 200-Rava -- a unique, bidirectional IP audio interface for door stations that allows PTT (push-to-talk) intercom with Crestron Rava-enabled touch screens. The Annuncicom joins an elite list of Crestron Connected((TM)) devices embedded with Crestron control intelligence to enable native communication and seamless operation with Crestron control technologies.
Combine Crestron Rava-enabled touch screens with an analog door station and the Annuncicom 200-Rava for a complete residential, office and small business IP intercom solution. The Barix Annuncicom 200-Rava device is built specifically for these environments, and includes specialized SIP firmware to simplify integration of Rava-enabled touch screens with analog devices, such as intercom panels. The device also includes built-in amplification, reducing infrastructure at installation points and minimizing equipment costs.
Crestron Rava touch screens leverage SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) to permit voice intercom, telephone and paging (point-to-point and group) among other applications. The Barix device uniquely establishes compatibility between Rava-enabled touch screens and door stations without a central server. This allows customers to continue to use existing devices when upgrading to Rava touch screens, providing seamless IP to analog integration.
Systems integrators, meanwhile, eliminate the time and labor associated with configuring servers to enable SIP compatibility between Rava touch screens and connected devices. Barix firmware allows these devices to discover each other on the network, making the Annuncicom 200-Rava the first Crestron-approved solution to offer such seamless peer-to-peer device connectivity. The result is a reliable, SIP-compatible solution that effectively bridges analog and digital components within Rava environments.
The bidirectional, push-to-talk functionality offers an additional benefit in residential and commercial neighborhoods where street noise adversely affects door station communication. This eliminates exterior noise when a homeowner or business employee is talking to an outside target.

VeriSilicon Introduces Hantro G2 Video Decoder IP with HEVC and VP9 Support
World's first semiconductor IP to support both HEVC and VP9 video formats
SHANGHAI, July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- VeriSilicon Holdings Co., Ltd. (VeriSilicon), a leading custom silicon solutions and semiconductor IP provider, announced today the availability of Hantro G2 multi-format video decoder IP to support ultra HD 4K video decoding for HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding, aka H.265) video coding standard. The G2 IP also adds support for the upcoming VP9 web video format from the WebM Project. In addition, all legacy video formats such as H.264, VP8, MPEG-4, VC-1, AVS (soon also AVS+), MPEG-2, DivX, Sorenson Spark and VP6 are supported in Hantro G2 IP.
Hantro G2 is a scalable IP solution providing an optimized silicon area depending on licensee's target market and performance requirements varying from leading edge 4K@60 fps for e.g. Ultra-HD TV, to industry standard 1080p HD, or to lower tier SD resolution for features phones, etc. Hantro G2 is the industry's first IP to support 4K@60 fps with a single-core architecture using less than 1 million logic gates. Hantro G2 represents the 13th generation of Hantro Video IP, the market leading video semiconductor IP deployed in more than one billion chips and used by more than 75 semiconductor companies worldwide.
VP9 is the next generation, open video codec developed under the WebM Project initiated by Google. VP9 is expected to require up to 50% less bandwidth to achieve the same visual quality as the very best H.264 high profile, providing significant bandwidth savings for web video services. VP9 provides a low-latency, high-quality video coding ideal for WebRTC applications, i.e. real-time video conferencing within the browser. VeriSilicon was the first IP provider in the industry to support VP8 decoding and encoding. Now, VeriSilicon is again the first company to provide VP9 decoder support in the Hantro IP.
"HD video is everywhere in our daily life, not only for entertainment through consumer electronics but also for surveillance and security through infrastructures. We can leverage the excellent performance of Hantro G2 Multi-format Video Decoder IP with HEVC and VP9 support to meet the challenges of network bandwidth, storage cost and power consumption," says Dr. Wayne Dai, President and CEO of VeriSilicon. "We believe that HEVC and VP9 will become ubiquitous video formats, gradually replacing H.264 in many services."
"We expect VP9 will be the format of choice for popular web platforms and services," said Jani Huoponen, hardware product manager for the WebM Project. "VeriSilicon's Hantro G2 Decoder IP with VP9 enables chip companies to rapidly bring ultra low-power, efficient silicon-area mobile application processors and STB/DTV chips to market and help enable efficient VP9 playback support in popular platforms and services, such as Chrome and YouTube."
VeriSilicon is working on Hantro H2 Multi-format encoder with support for HEVC and VP9 to be released later this year. For more information, please email

Altair Semiconductor Raises $25 Million Financing Round

Altair Semiconductor Raises $25 Million Financing Round
Funds to Fuel Company's Growth and to Support Rapidly Expanding Global LTE Deployment Footprint
HOD HASHARON, Israel, July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Altair Semiconductor (http://www.altair-semi.com), the world's leading developer
of high-performance, single-mode LTE chipsets, announced today that it has completed a $25
million round of funding from existing investors Bessemer, BRM, Giza, JVP and Pacific
Technology.
Altair will use the capital to further strengthen its leadership position in the
single-mode LTE market as well as to support high volume product deployments from its
largest customers.
"As LTE networks reach coverage parity with 3G in key markets, carriers realize that
removing 3G and adapting LTE-only is the most efficient way to significantly lower costs
and increase mobile broadband attach rates," said Oded Melamed
[http://www.altair-semi.com/management ], Co-Founder and CEO of Altair. "Our month over
month increase in chip shipments is a testament to the widespread move towards LTE-only
across the industry and we intend to use the funds to support our customers as they ramp
high volume production and deploy their products in the field."
The cost of integrating LTE-only is substantially lower than LTE+3G, minimizing the
prohibitively high cost delta that exists today between basic Wi-Fi models and those with
mobile broadband connectivity. The lower cost of integrating LTE-only connectivity is also
a key factor in the enablement of widespread availability of cloud-connected devices in
the consumer and machine to machine space, driving what is known as the "Internet of
Everything."
Altair has pioneered the introduction of cutting edge, low cost single-mode LTE
chipsets and, since rolling out its first chipset in 2009, has achieved many
industry-firsts, including the release of the first FDD/TDD chipset in the world, the
first commercial LTE chipset to exceed 100Mbps and the first chipset to be certified by
Verizon Wireless' 4G chipset certification program.
To date, Altair's products have been integrated into more than 100 different product
models, including tablets, Ultrabooks, portable hotspots, USB dongles and routers,
designed by more than 30 global customers.
About Altair Semiconductor
Altair Semiconductor is the world's leading developer of ultra-low power, small
footprint and high performance 4G semiconductors. Altair's chipsets can be found in
approximately 30 end-user devices - ranging from USB dongles to smartphones - built by its
more than 15 customers across North America, Europe, China, India and Taiwan - making it
one of the only TDD/FDD LTE chipset manufacturers in the world with commercially available
products. Altair's comprehensive product portfolio includes baseband processors,

A New Approach to Making Mobile Apps - SocialFlex Mobile Applications for Business
LONDON, June 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
SocialFlex offers businesses a new approach to mobile app development.
Welcome SocialFlex
SocialFlex creates beautiful bespoke mobile applications for business's at extremely
affordable prices.
Press Release
SocialFlex offers a whole new approach to mobile app development, offering beautiful
bespoke mobile applications for businesses at extremely affordable prices.
The mobile app market is booming and continues to grow at a high rate of speed,
everyone is taking advantage of this lucrative new market and those who are not are sure
to be missing out on something big!
SocialFlex was created singlehandley by a 25 year old businessman. Samson Afolayan,
originally from South East London, Samson founded the business on the idea that so many
businesses do not have mobile apps that are truly unique in appeal. Businesses in today's
world need to take advantage of the mobile trend or face losing out to their competition.
Samson says: The mobile app market is one of the most buoyant markets in today's age, yet
so many businesses are not taking advantage of this. Moreover, Those businesses who have
managed to build an app have just built something basic, with no real appeal to their
client base or distinctive functionality that defines the whole purpose of a mobile app.
It seems that only the big corporations such as Amazon, Facebook and others are fully
utilizing the true benefits mobile apps can present. When it comes to small businesses,
most of them are still in the dark. SocialFlex was designed to change this, to make mobile
apps accessible to all businesses, regardless of size or bank balance.''
The SocialFlex official launch date is July 1st 2013, it will be interesting to see
how the company gets on.
