Developed specifically for highly compact designs, the OV9724 CameraChip(TM) sensor leverages OmniVision's new 1.4-micron OmniBSI+(TM) pixel to enable camera modules of less than 2.5 mm in height.

"The OV9724 further establishes OmniVision's role in defining the future of mobile imaging," said Nick Nam, director of product marketing at OmniVision. "Enabled by our latest OmniBSI+ technology, the extremely small and low-power OV9724 allows manufacturers to integrate high-performance HD video into extremely slim devices at a highly competitive price point.  It is also designed to satisfy all major industry standard performance and quality requirements currently prevailing in the market, offering customers an extensive range of options for use in advanced imaging systems."

The 1/9-inch OV9724 CameraChip sensor is built on OmniVision's powerful 1.4-micron OmniBSI+  pixel architecture, enabling 720p HD video capture at 30 frames per second (FPS) or cropped VGA at 60 FPS. It provides full-frame, sub-sampled or windowed 8- and 10-bit images. All required image processing functions, including exposure control and defective pixel cancelling are programmable through the serial camera control bus (SCCB) interface.

Online Storage Startup Maxxo Soft-Launches with Free 5GB Offer

ZAGREB, Croatia, February 16, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Those 2 gigabytes that Dropbox and other cloud-based storage solutions provide not
enough? Slow bandwidth, annoying ads and sites that just don't work got you down? This
week there is relief in sight: Maxxo - a cloud-based storage, secure sharing, and folder
sync application, has just launched and is offering 5GB free storage accounts for a
limited time.

    How limited? "We'll see," says Maxxo CEO Vedran Sisak. "We'd rather not go broke after
2 weeks of only free account sign-ups, but I'm sure that folks with lots of data to store
and share, who have been burned by the first generation of cloud-based storage services,
will appreciate our application and the speed and ease with which they can share their
files."

    Maxxo's system was developed around intuitive drag-and-drop functionality. If a user
wants to share a file with a friend, or with 20 friends, it's just a matter of a quick
drag of the mouse. Sisak continues, "Sharing has never been this simple and
straightforward. We like to think of ourselves as cloud-based file sharing
[http://www.maxxo.com ], sync, and online backup - for normal people."

    The Maxxo application aims to differentiate itself from existing file sharing services
which have links that anyone can post anywhere. Maxxo [http://www.maxxo.com ] wants to
cultivate a community where sharing files is a personal act, between real people - and not
a breeding ground for internet piracy. "We have created a platform for you to share files
with people you know and trust," says the Maxxo CEO. "We feel that this is the direction
online cloud-based storage and file sharing [http://www.maxxo.com ] systems should be
taking."

    "The last thing I want to share," adds Sisak, "is that if you like Maxxo and our
services, tell your friends!"

    About Maxxo

    Maxxo is a Croatian cloud-based file sharing [http://www.maxxo.com ], sync and backup
application, now available for download [http://www.maxxo.com/downloads ], that will allow
users to easily sync and share their data with their trusted friends and peers. Sending or
sharing large files or a large number of files? With Maxxo, it's as simple as drag and
drop. The service offers 5GB free accounts and premium accounts with added data sharing
features as well as added storage. File sharing is about to get a whole lot easier.

Zebra Imaging Announces 3D Geospatial Challenge

AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Zebra Imaging, Inc., the leader in 3D holographic displays and visualization technologies, announced today that it will conduct its first 3D Geospatial Challenge. This 3D Geospatial Challenge is sponsored to encourage participants from the GIS community to use Zebra Imaging's software tools and print services to portray their GIS data using holographic technology. Zebra's unique visualization ZScape(TM) product delivers unequaled levels of spatial understanding and communication.

Zebra Imaging has created thousands of 3D maps for the U.S. Department of Defense and has now adapted its 3D capability for Esri ArcGIS® Desktop 10.  Users of Esri® ArcScene(TM) 3D Analyst(TM) extension can combine 2D and 3D data to create high resolution, color holographic GIS prints.  The 3D holographic print can display detailed topography, cityscapes, and other data-rich GIS applications in industries such as exploration geology, hydrology, archeology, forestry, park services, city governments, public safety and defense.

"Zebra Imaging's holographic 3D prints provide a powerful and captivating method of conveying 3D geospatial data to diverse groups - ones that may not be familiar with GIS software. With our technology and print services, 3D data can be brought out of the computer and into the hands of decision makers, enabling faster analysis and fuller understanding," said Steve Arling, Vice President of Business Development for Zebra Imaging.  "The 3D Geospatial Challenge is about inspiring new ways and approaches for visualizing GIS projects. It's about getting the data unplugged from the computer and in front of a broader audience. It's about facilitating communication," Arling added.

The 3D Geospatial Challenge kicks off just prior to the Esri Federal GIS conference held February 22-24, in Washington, D.C. As an Esri Business Partner, Zebra Imaging will be exhibiting 3D prints to demonstrate to the GIS community how to leverage the power and technology 3D holographic imaging offers. Zebra Imaging wants to help accelerate the evolution of traditionally 2D GIS data into 3D.

Participants in the Zebra Imaging 3D Geospatial Challenge will compete by framing their 3D data set using Zebra Imaging's ZScape(TM) Preview or ZScape(TM) Exporter software.

http://store.zebraimaging.com/download.aspx

Each entry will be reviewed by a panel of Zebra Imaging judges for the following:

    --  Creativity
    --  Design efficiency
    --  Technical complexity
    --  Usefulness of application
Zebra Imaging will select three winners from the following industries: Public Safety, Planning, and Defense.

Winners of the challenge will receive a 24" x 24" 3D holographic print of their data and an illumination stand. The winning concepts will be displayed at the Zebra Imaging Booth at the Esri International User Conference the week of July 23, 2012 in San Diego, CA.

New iSmart Protection Revolutionizes Extended Warranty Programs for Apple Mobile Devices

For the equivalent price of a tank of gas, iSmart Protection, an extended warranty program for Apple mobile devices, offers two years of unlimited repairs with lower deductibles than any other warranty program.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- iQue Repair, LLC, http://www.iquerepair.com, announced the launch of their revolutionary iSmart Protection Plans, http://www.ismartwarranty.com, for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices.  This announcement represents a major paradigm shift in the Smart phone and mobile device repair industry. 

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120216/LA54322)

iSmart Protection responds to significant feedback from Apple consumers and companies seeking changes in the way their investments are protected.  iSmart is pioneering a new kind of thinking consumers are hungry for; a mobile device extended warranty service focused on unlimited repairs rather than forcing costly replacements, device upgrades, and extended contracts. 

"The cost of owning mobile devices is high already and consumers are tired of paying exorbitant premiums for replacement programs when all they might need is a little maintenance," says iQue Repair Owner, KC Kelly. "Many warranties are front loaded with fees because we have been lead to believe our devices need to be replaced and not repaired.  The truth is, the vast majority of insured consumers don't cash in on new devices when they break and only a small percentage actually needs them replaced."

iSmart Protection is available nationwide offering the first ever Family, Group, Small Business and Large Organization plans at discounted prices. iSmart Protection is also available for millions of unprotected consumers with unlocked iPhones using other cell phone service providers like T-Mobile.

When asked how iSmart might compete with Apple's warranty program, Apple Care, Kelly responded, "Consumers need options and iSmart was specifically developed knowing the limitations of more than half a dozen warranty programs just like theirs." 

Morgan McKell, iQue Co-Owner added, "People love Apple products and as word gets out about iSmart, our hope is that it's one of those factors that sways reluctant consumers in Apple's favor, thinking, finally, an inexpensive warranty that makes sense."

McKell continued, "You can even register your damaged device with iSmart and get it repaired immediately after you've signed up.  Who else offers these kinds of services?"

Kelly concluded, "We're definitely putting money back into the consumer's pockets by offering the world's most reasonable protection plan. Think Repair, Not Replacement. Think iSmart."

France IX Launches its Reseller Program

PARIS, February 16, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

         France IX, the federating internet exchange point (IXP) in France, launches
its reseller agreement offer, primarily designed to meet operators' needs in the peering

                                         market.

    This new service is mainly dedicated to the operators and the transit providers (the
latter not connected to the French IXP yet), enabling them to deliver access to France IX
to its own customers and thus maximize this as a global point to point connectivity offer.

    Franck Simon, Managing Director at France IX Services, explains: "Nowadays, the
success of an IXP depends on its capacity to develop innovative services in accordance
with the surrounding market. By giving the partners of the IXP the opportunity to resell
France IX access to their customers, we are matching a need not addressed until now."

    The reseller agreement is currently available on 3 out of 9 France IX points of
presence: Interxion 5 and Telehouse 2 in Paris and SFR NetCenter in Marseille. France IX
is looking at the technical solutions to expand this offer to other already deployed POPs.

    "France IX disposes of capacity between Paris and Marseille. However the role of
France IX as an internet exchange point is not to provide unlimited transport between
these two distant cities but to ease the access to the IXP and to other connected members.
This is important in respecting the internet ecosystem in France ," Franck Simon adds.

    When a member connected in Marseille needs to exchange more than 100 Mbps with one or
several members connected in Paris, a remote connection brought by a reseller becomes a
good choice.

    The agreement allows the reseller to have a port that can be divided into several
virtual networks (VLANs), from 200 Mbps to 2Gbps, for each customer. Every entity
connected through the reseller retains control of its peering and routing policy and
becomes a France IX member. Only the transport and the connection are operated by the
reseller.

    Neo Telecoms, an infrastructure operator specializing in dark fibers solutions and IP
transit, shares its vision as France IX's first reseller: "We want to help our customers
build a BGP platform, exchange their data flow through our partnership with France IX and
prepare them to become autonomous. Therefore, we advise them on their choice of equipment
and their connection to the infrastructure," Yohan Oddoz, Sales Director at Neo Telecom,
comments.

    As any France IX connected parties, resellers' customers must own an autonomous system
number. They also benefit from an equal vote during general meetings.

    About France-IX

    France IX is the latest generation IXP based in France which offers Unicast and
Multicast IPv4/IPv6 public peering, private peering (Closed User Groups), routes servers
and a reseller program through various connection ports: 100 Mbps copper, 200Mbpbs (copper
or optical), 1000 Mbps copper, 1 Gbps SX or LX, 2 Gbps and 10 Gbps LR. For further
information, visit the website http://www.franceix.net or contact

enables enhanced security for adaptive streaming content delivery on Android phones and

Trumpia Adds Free Mobile Text Rewards Program to Improve Customer Loyalty

ANAHEIM, California, February 16, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

   
          - All-In-One Marketing Platform Brings Rewards Cards into the Digital Age
                             with Innovative Mobile Solution

    Trumpia, the leading solution provider for Multi-Channel Marketing and Messaging
[http://trumpia.com/manageAccount/signup.php?promocode=PRUK0214&mt=/main/features.php ],
offering mobile text, email, voice broadcast, IM and social media in a single integrated
platform, today launched the beta version of its new loyalty rewards program, leveraging
QR code and mobile keyword technologies. This new capability is free to Trumpia's premium
monthly plan subscribers.

    Offering a more contemporary alternative to the old paper or plastic bonus rewards
cards, Trumpia's new rewards program works right on everybody's mobile phone to increase
convenience and security for consumers and encourage repeat purchasing for businesses.

    Unlike other solutions, Trumpia adds four main benefits to an otherwise ordinary
mobile rewards program.

    First, Trumpia's mobile rewards program allows a business to engage customers across a
variety of devices - not only smart phones but also conventional feature phones. This
gives customers a choice as some will enjoy scanning the business's QR code
[http://trumpia.com/manageAccount/signup.php?promocode=PRUK0214&mt=/main/qr-codes.php ]
with a smart phone while others will prefer to text-in its mobile keyword.

    Second, Trumpia's integrated solution allows a business to engage its customers
further -- beyond just the mobile rewards program. Businesses can use Trumpia's powerful
All-In-One Marketing platform to grow its customer database and send promotional offers to
mobile numbers that they collect through the rewards program. Trumpia's award-winning
All-In-One Marketing Solution has already satisfied the needs of thousands of businesses
and organizations by powering successful campaigns.

    Third, all of the benefits of Trumpia's All-In-One Marketing solution are available at
one affordable price that other providers charge for stand-alone mobile marketing
[http://trumpia.com/manageAccount/signup.php?promocode=PRUK0214&mt=/main/mobile_marketing.php ]
, email marketing or loyalty marketing solutions. In addition, all of Trumpia's
features are truly integrated into one user interface to work in tandem via a single
dashboard.

    Fourth, Trumpia was designed with anti-fraud measures in mind. During each reward
point transaction, an approval with an easy click is required by the business' staff.
Trumpia also tracks points and flags suspicious or fraudulent activities.

    Trumpia's mobile rewards program is simple to set-up. Businesses just define a reward
and then select the amount of points that customers must accumulate before being able to
redeem their prize. Trumpia uniquely offers two ways for customers to add points.
Consumers can either scan a QR code or text in a mobile keyword
[http://trumpia.com/manageAccount/signup.php?promocode=PRUK0214&mt=/main/whatismobile.php ]
, which the business approves in real-time upon each in-store visit or purchase. This
extra step protects the business against people who might try to use the system to
fraudulently add points. When customers accumulate enough valid points to reach their
rewards goal, they are sent an automatic text message to confirm that they can redeem
their prize. The system also offers an easy-to-use reporting feature that allows an
administrator to view, at a glance, whether or not the customer has already earned and
redeemed a prize against a specific rewards goal. Finally, to help the business promote
its rewards program easily and effectively, Trumpia offers a professionally-designed flyer
that a business can quickly customize, automatically configure and then print.

    "Now a business can offer their customers the best of the old punch card system
conveniently and securely on their mobile phone - eliminating paper cards that are easy to
lose and misplace," said Derek Rhie, co-founder and director of sales and support for
Trumpia. "Our mobile rewards card program makes it easy for people to connect and engage
with their favorite business again and again so they can take advantage of the perks of
being a loyal customer. At the same time, it helps a business improve their bottom line by
increasing revenues, saving administrative costs and avoiding fraudulent stamping
activities that are often associated with paper or plastic cards."

    About Trumpia

    Trumpia is the only All-In-One Multi-Channel Messaging and Marketing platform that
gives marketers and their customers the greatest level of choice by incorporating SMS and
MMS text, email
[http://trumpia.com/manageAccount/signup.php?promocode=PRUK0214&mt=/main/email_marketing.php ]
, voice broadcast, IM and social media for an All-In-One price. Trumpia allows
marketers to orchestrate a coordinated cross-channel marketing strategy via a single,
web-based system to dramatically increase response rates, brand awareness and return on
investment. For more information, text TRUMPIA to 60607, sign-up for a free webinar

Facebook Timeline; What it Means for Candidates, Guardian Jobs Gives Advice and Tips

LONDON, February 16, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    The imminent reformatting of Facebook looks set to further expose the private lives of
its users. The standard layout will be transformed into a timeline of events, a collated
year by year account of user's movements on Facebook since their birth, or Facebook
sign-up date.

    It has, understandably, caused a stir amongst employers and employees, because of the
backlog of history now so readily available to browse and click. In short, if nothing is
tailored, made private or deleted, employers have immediate access to a potential
candidate's 'social' history - warts and all.

    Guardian Jobs acknowledges it is an interesting issue and a subject of great debate.
It raises questions around the relationship between employers, jobs
[http://jobs.guardian.co.uk ], candidates and networking sites whether professional or
social.

    Social sites offer their users a powerful connection tools, based on interest, or
personal data matching like where users live, or like to shop. But the line between social
networking and socialising can be a thin one. While Facebook has arguably moved things
forward within the recruitment process - opening doors of networking and opportunities for
many - it has also enabled employers to shut down potential candidates based on their
online profiles - including photographs of people socialising. In the UK 76% of all
Facebook profile photos are of people in an inebriated state, the highest figure globally.
And numerous surveys have shown that employers and recruiters use Facebook and other
networking sites to filter and check the profile and background of potential candidates.

    On one hand, this can work very well for the employee by showcasing an involved
informed candidate able to discuss industry trends, and taking an interest perhaps in
raising money for charity. But the threat to a candidate's privacy, ability to let off
steam and have fun whilst not at work is also present, and we all need boundaries between
work and play. Prospective employers will have - if settings remain public - access to
Facebook footage in all its glory: whether drunk and vulgar abandonment or informed
engaged professional.

    Guardian Jobs advises users of social platforms whether social or professional to
consider their online footprint. This means typing their name into a search engine and
checking what comes up. They also advise that candidates may want to consider having
professional accounts, and that they must check privacy settings.

    Guardian Jobs' Facebook page is full of news, articles and ideas to help candidates
and professionals progress cyber careers. Knowing how to network without jeopardising
reputation is a challenge but there is plenty of credible, free advice available to
internet users.

The gavel-to-gavel broadcasts, which were introduced statewide for the first time last year, will feature comprehensive live and taped-delayed proceedings, including committee meetings, floor sessions, and other joint conventions.

"By bringing the day to day work of the Tennessee General Assembly to the people across the state, we are continuing to build on our efforts to make government more transparent," said Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey.  "We have received tremendous positive feedback about this service last year, and we are glad to be able to bring the legislature into the homes of our citizens."

"We are following through on our commitment to ensure the legislative process is transparent and more accessible to the public," said House Speaker Beth Harwell.  "By working with public television stations across Tennessee to bring our legislative proceedings beyond the Capitol, we are helping our citizens become more engaged and active in the legislative process.  This is the very foundation of principles on which this country was founded."

The project is funded under an agreement with the Tennessee General Assembly, with additional corporate support from AT&T. The General Assembly will be responsible for feeding the broadcast of the sessions to the Tennessee Channel. It will then run through the state's six public television stations, which provides coverage to all Tennessee viewers.

"AT&T is again proud to help sponsor the Tennessee General Assembly broadcasts over public television," said Gregg Morton, president of AT&T Tennessee. "By bringing the workings of our state's government to citizens' homes, we are able to see firsthand the critically important work of the legislature that impacts the lives of all Tennesseans."

The Tennessee General Assembly offers extensive information through their Internet website, winning the state the national "Online Democracy Award" for providing it in a user-friendly format. The legislature was also awarded the Digital Governance Award for Leadership in Digital Access for "strong government transparency and public access improvements."

"We are proud to continue this strong partnership with our state's elected leaders," said Michael LaBonia, chairman of Tennessee's Public Television Stations. "We have received some very positive responses from citizens across the state.  Having the power to see our democratic process in action, our citizens are more informed and Tennessee Public Television is proud to be a part of that."

Tennessee Public Television Stations include: WCTE/Cookeville, WTCI/Chattanooga, East Tennessee PBS WKOP/Knoxville and WETP/Sneedville, WLJT/Martin, WKNO/Memphis and WNPT/Nashville.

Citizens can check with their local public television station for the weekly schedule of legislative coverage.

Dojo Foundation Announces Enterprise-Friendly Mobile Tools

With Dojo 1.7 and Maqetta, Enterprise mobile web has reached tipping point

NEW YORK, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Dojo Foundation today announced the Dojo Mobile 1.7 toolkit along with visual tools for mobile user interface and mobile theme construction in Maqetta Preview 4. Developers now have a complete set of mobile tools that deliver the cross-discipline, reliability and customization benefits needed by Enterprise teams. Today's announcement represents a major milestone in delivering integrated design-to-development Cloud tooling, along with a comprehensive open source widget set for the desktop and mobile devices.

While the desktop world has standardized on HTML-based open web technologies, until now, a large percentage of mobile development teams targeting phones and tables have created different platform-specific "native" versions for each different device, which results in high costs for creation and maintenance.

With these announcements, along with other related advances in the industry (e.g., proliferation of HTML5 capable browsers on mobile devices, improved mobile network speeds including 4G and maturing hybrid web/native tools such as PhoneGap), developers can now create high-quality mobile applications using the same cross-platform HTML5 used in desktop browsers, with all of the cost efficiencies and disciplined team development approaches needed by Enterprise teams.

The Dojo Toolkit is an industry-leading JavaScript toolkit that scales from simple, small-scale development to large-scale team development, and is used by thousands of companies around the world. The Dojo Toolkit is a comprehensive JavaScript development platform that provides key Enterprise-development benefits. The benefits include, all technologies available from a single distribution (eliminating  mix/match conflicts from different suppliers), backwards compatibility across releases, sophisticated widget framework for extending built-in widgets and creating reusable custom widgets, integrated build system for minimizing network requests and download sizes, common globalization framework, and a set of core widgets that use a common accessibility framework to meet common government accessibility requirements.

Maqetta is a Dojo Foundation open source project for visual authoring of HTML5 user interfaces, desktop and mobile. Dojo Foundation makes the Maqetta application available for free use at http://maqetta.org and provides ZIP downloads for installing Maqetta on intranet servers or running locally. Maqetta is in its technology preview phase, with a 1.0 release expected later in 2012.

These new resources provide the following benefits to mobile development teams:

    --  With Dojo Toolkit 1.7 - Comprehensive toolkit for building
        cross-platform mobile applications using HTML5 (both browser-based and
        installed from apps stores)
    --  With Maqetta Preview 4 - Strong tools for integrating the design team
        into the mobile development process, including CSS theme tools that ease
        development and conformance to corporate visual styling standards
New features in Dojo Toolkit 1.7 include:

    --  A complete, Enterprise-ready mobile widget set. The mobile widget set
        provides a full set of common mobile user interface controls that
        emulate native device controls and support native interactivity,
        including touch gestures.
    --  A collection of mobile CSS themes that provide either device-specific,
        platform-native look & feel for iPhone, Android and other devices, or a
        general cross-platform look & feel, and allow for extensive
        customization so that Enterprise developers can modify the mobile CSS
        themes to match corporate mobile styling standards.
    --  A refactored core that is optimized for small footprint and high
        performance on smart phones and tablets, starting at under 4KB gzipped.
    --  A new JavaScript loader (AMD) engine that improves the speed of network
        requests, enables multiple versions of particular modules to run
        simultaneously and helps reduce download size.
    --  A revamped and simplified client-side data management engine
        (dojo.store) that makes it easy to create data-centric web applications
        and easy to bind data stores programmatically to widgets such as  data
        grids, trees, and menus.
Maqetta Preview 4 provides:

    --  Visual authoring support for Dojo 1.7's extensive mobile widget set and
        mobile CSS themes.
    --  Non-programmers and programmers can create true WYSIWYG mobile user
        interfaces via simple drag/drop from a widget palette into a life-size
        replica of a mobile device silhouette.
    --  Powerful mobile CSS theme editor that allow designers to use visual
        tools for customizing Dojo 1.7's mobile CSS themes to match corporate
        branding standards.
    --  Maqetta creates actual running HTML, CSS and JS that can be previewed on
        actual devices and ultimately handed off to developers to transform into
        a production application.
"With Maqetta's Preview 4 release, in addition to drag/drop creation of HTML5 mobile user interfaces without programming, Maqetta now provides a mobile CSS theme editor so that companies can customize widget and HTML styling to match corporate mobile branding standards," says Jon Ferraiolo, project lead for Dojo's Maqetta open source project. "With the new features in Preview 4, Maqetta now provides a critical mass of capability that allows companies to bring designers into collaborative Enterprise mobile app development."

"We are excited by the promise of Maqetta for improving the speed and quality of our Enterprise development efforts for both desktop and mobile," says Roman Chanclor, Interface Design Director at Enterprise Information Management, Inc., an industry leader in business process automation.

EIM delivers Information Technology consulting, design, planning, and implementation services for organizations looking to rapidly automate enterprise business processes, streamline the management of complex case environments, and turn information into insight. "Maqetta allows our designers to create WYSIWYG user interface prototypes for both desktop and mobile without programming.  Maqetta authors its prototypes using the same HTML5, JavaScript and CSS that our developers use, making it easy to transition from design to development," Chanclor added.

"With Dojo, we're very excited to offer a unified toolkit that uses the same, highly efficient underlying code base for web and mobile applications," said Dylan Schiemann, chairman of the Dojo Foundation.   "And with Maqetta and Dojo 1.7, it's now possible for non-programmers to get started creating application user interfaces with an open-source, web-based drag and drop tool that outputs elegant source code."

Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance Enables Companies to Outpace Competition with Smarter, Faster Decisions

Proven analytic appliance with double the performance and triple the data capacity meets wide variety of demanding business intelligence tasks

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the analytic data solutions company announced that the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance 2690 is available for immediate worldwide shipment.  The Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance is a fully integrated analytical platform that enables companies to outpace their competition and make the best decision possible.  Designed to deliver double the performance with up to triple the data capacity of its predecessor, the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance's rapid deployment enables customers to quickly realize business value from their investment.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090909/TERADATALOGO )

Please follow this link to view the full social media version of this news release on Teradata.com
http://www.teradata.com/News-Releases/2012/Teradata-Data-Warehouse-Appliance-Enables-Companies-to-Outpace-Competition-with-Smarter-Faster-Decisions/

"The Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance 2690 is our fifth generation appliance that provides a faster, easier, and greener analytic engine for a wide variety of demanding business intelligence tasks, which has contributed to its rapid customer adoption," said Ed White, general manager, Teradata Appliances, Teradata Corporation. "Built on the award-winning Teradata Database, the Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance is best-in-class relative to competitors' appliances."

Compression Engine Drive Performance
Teradata is the first to integrate automatic block level compression into its architecture, delivering the highest performance possible for compressing data. Data is automatically compressed as it is loaded, and decompressed as needed, without database administrator involvement. With Teradata Database 14, the new Data Warehouse Appliance will take advantage of Teradata Columnar, which will deliver even more advanced levels of performance and compression.

Integrated analytics foundation
The Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance provides an environment that enables integrated analytics with incredibly fast parallel processing, scalability for processing massive volumes of data, and rich in-database analytic capabilities. Teradata provides a comprehensive set of integrated analytics that leverage the speed of the database engine, while eliminating the time-consuming and costly task of data movement. The analytics include data exploration, geospatial, temporal, predictive, and emerging open source technology such as "R." In addition, Teradata has collaborated with industry-leading data mining partners to provide analytics and business intelligence with highly optimized in-database integrations.

"Green" reduces operating expense
The Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance uses up to 60 percent less energy and 50 percent less floor space for the same capability as the previous generation, providing an overall "Green" savings for customers. Teradata achieved these savings by internal streamlining of all system management functions through virtualization technology and a compression engine that provides more performance and data storage on a cabinet-to-cabinet level when compared to the previous generation. The "Green" or sustainability benefits of the Teradata system have become a critical factor, since it is widely understood that the costs for data center power, cooling, and floor space will soon outpace the cost of the equipment.

Roadside Presidents iPhone App Directs You to Landmarks and Laughs Along America's Highways

NOVATO, Calif., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RoadsideAmerica.com, the guide to offbeat tourist attractions, announced the launch of its Roadside Presidents(TM) mobile software app for iPhone. Roadside Presidents reveals over a thousand U.S. President tourist attractions  around the country - from traditional historic places, such as presidential birthplaces and memorials, to the offbeat and unexpected, such as the ice cream store where President Obama worked during high school.

"We've discovered so many bizarre presidential sights out there," said Ken Smith, senior editor of RoadsideAmerica.com.  "By visiting conventional landmarks, but also the hidden treasures, you get the broader, nuttier picture of America's history. You'll never think of George Washington quite the same way after you've seen his whiskey-making still -- or of Ronald Reagan after seeing a statue of him eating a potato pancake."

Roadside Presidents is available on the Apple (U.S.) App Store for $2.99. The list of attractions is always growing, and the app retrieves real-time updates and attraction status reports from RoadsideAmerica.com.

Users can browse by president or by location, and read fun facts, attraction visit reports and stories, and see visitor-contributed tips and photos, maps, driving directions, hours, and phone numbers. They can snap photos from within the app to submit directly to RoadsideAmerica.com. The app's "Been There!" feature lets users keep track of roadside attractions they have visited.

The editorial team at RoadsideAmerica.com has spent years seeking out dusty wax dioramas and creaky animatronics of the nation's Chief Executives. They've written irreverent and illuminating entries for Roadside Presidents -- on first ladies and VPs, quirky siblings, White House pets, and presidential also-rans. Assassination, conspiracy, and scandal sights are other road trip possibilities found in the app. The attractions are everywhere and the app makes them easy to find -- whether it's a robot Lyndon Johnson cracking jokes in Texas, a Highway of Vice Presidents in Indiana, or a George Bush giant sequoia in California.

Roadside Presidents was designed by the software development team that created the popular Roadside AmericaiPhone app, consistently listed among the top-selling App Store Travel apps since it was introduced in 2010. It was named an App Store Staff Favorite in 2011.

About RoadsideAmerica.com

RoadsideAmerica.com is the foremost source for information on unusual tourist attractions in the U.S. Since 1996, the website has grown to include information and reports on over 10,000 unique sights in the US and Canada.

WilliamPaid.com Unveils New Pricing, Design and User Interface

New Pricing and a Better Look Makes it Easier for Any Renter and Any Landlord to Pay And Accept Rent FREE Online via Credit Card, Debit Card or Bank Account

CHICAGO, Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- WilliamPaid.com, a leading site where any tenant can pay rent online via credit card, debit card or bank account today announced new pricing, a new site design, and many positive changes to the user interface.  The most important new feature on WilliamPaid.com includes pricing that allows users to pay rent online free when using a bank account (checking, savings, and money market).  For those who want even greater flexibility, William Paid offers a FlexPay option that allows users to pay some or all of their rent online using a credit or debit card.

The result -- a better look and improved navigation making it even more convenient and easier for any tenant to pay rent online. Tenants are not required to have their landlords registered in order to pay rent online.

"As a site dedicated to renters, we listened to our customers' needs by redesigning the site and making the navigation easier," said Evan Silverman, CEO at WilliamPaid.  "WilliamPaid will continue to offer tenants  the most flexible and value added platform to pay rent online via credit card, debit card or a bank account. We accept payments anytime, anywhere, anyhow via any combination of the three available options."

Paying bills such as rent online can help build creditworthiness. WilliamPaid offers users the opportunity to have their rent payments reported to PRBC, Inc., a division of Microbilt, a nationally recognized credit bureau.  Each month WilliamPaid will display a user's current bill payment credit score so they can see how their creditworthiness is progressing.

"On time rent payments can help establish and build creditworthiness. PRBC Consumer Credit Reports are perfect for consumers who have not yet established a verifiable credit history, but want to demonstrate that they pay their bills on time," stated Silverman.

The PRBC® Report provides lenders with alternative data when making non-traditional decisions to extend credit to consumers in new markets. The report incorporates the FICO® Expansion® Score - a credit risk score designed specifically to help lenders.

"With all of these exciting changes, WilliamPaid users will continue to experience the same unparalleled service, convenience, security, and enhanced product offerings.  We are looking forward to a successful year and want our users to keep on the lookout for new WilliamPaid products to come online as 2012 unfolds," added Silverman.

Rental Market Facts*

There are more than 40,000,000 rental households in the United States and with the current state of the real estate industry that number has increased by dramatically since 2008. Nearly 100,000,000 people in the U.S. write a rent check each month with 71% under the age of 30 years old.   And, as with mortgages, rent commonly represents a person's single largest recurring payment.
