DNSSEC: One in Ten Swedish Domains Secure against Phishing

STOCKHOLM, January 2, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    Swedish hosting provider Binero has DNSSEC-signed all customer .se-domains, increasing
the total amount of signed .se-domains from 5000 to more than 100 000. Nearly one in ten
Swedish domains are now validated against attacks with manipulated dns-information, like
phishing. The .se-registry, .SE has long called for DNSSEC to be introduced. Binero offers
the DNSSEC-validation free of charge and becomes the second largest provider in the world
for DNSSEC-signed domains. When more actors follow this example, the entire .se-domain
zone may become the first to be fully signed.

    "DNSSEC-validation will not gain general acceptance as long as it is offered by few,
often at an additional cost. At Binero we want to do better than that, so we offer all our
customers DNSSEC-validation free of charge for domains registered through us. We hope our
industry colleagues will follow our example", said Binero founder and CEO, Anders Aleborg.

    It has long been possible to manipulate the information between the recursive resolver
name server and the web browser (DNS-cache poisoning). It is a known way to divert
internet traffic in order to steal the mail- or credit card information of visitors
(phishing).

    A solution to this is to DNSSEC-validate the domain zone. When a domain name is
requested by a browser, the signature is checked against a key with the party responsible
for the domain zone in question. Most Swedish internet service operators (ISP:s) have
DNSSEC-validated resolvers today, but few other than them. As of November 2011, there were
still only 5089 validated .se-domains, in spite of the top domain administrator, .SE
having called for DNSSEC-adoption since 1999. .SE warned of manipulated dns-information
among .se-domains as late as December 2011.

    "In 2011 alone, five SSL-certificate providers or their resellers have had problems
with unreliable certificates, and the problem is increasing as more money is invested
online", said Anne-Marie EklundLowinder, Chief Security Officer with .SE, referring to
among others the Diginotar case where several global mail services where among the ones
with false certificates.

    This month, Sweden's third largest reseller of .se-domains, Binero hosting has
DNSSEC-signed the .se-domains of all customers, nearly 100 000 without charging anything
extra.

    "This DNSSEC-validation along with the one by ISP:s increases security both directly
and also indirectly, by increasing the ability to reliably spreading security attributes
like ssh-keys, SSL-certificates and similar. We applaud the registrars who have gone ahead
and DNSSEC-validated and we expect DNSSEC to become a compulsory requirement for
registrars as well as for customers during 2012", said Danny Aerts, CEO of the .SE
Registry.

New my4oneone Concept in Online Personal Information Sharing and Storage Brings New Dimension to Social Networking

Powerful Innovation Combines Capabilities Currently Available Only by Accessing Multiple Sites

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., Jan. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new website concept called my4oneone debuts today and brings a powerful new dimension to social networking.  My4oneone is a unique and innovative way to store, access and share a wide range of personal information online in one secure location.  That information is then accessible anywhere via computer, tablet or smartphone.

My4oneone offers a unique combination of shareability with multiple levels of access, social networking with the ability to post comments, and an unmatched breadth of information categories.  In a single, user-friendly platform, the site combines several very popular functions (and more) that currently require people to register and jump between multiple websites.  In addition, authorized friends/contacts can access information quickly and easily without having to bother the user.

"My4oneone offers a single place online to store all the personal information you currently keep in your wallet, purse, file cabinet, desk drawer and in your head," said Co-founder Greg Hernandez.  "Our website fills a void in the rapidly growing arena of social networking, and we are pleased to see many top CEOs and business executives appreciating the very promising future of my4oneone.com."

When fully deployed, my4oneone users will be able to share personal information, wish lists, calendars, recommended service providers, medical information and more with friends, family, professional associates and other contacts via the Cloud.  Users have absolute control over who sees their information and can reserve specified data for their own personal use.

Access settings include "Private" for the user's access only; "Privileged" for selected close family or friends; "Personal" for a wider set of friends/contacts; and "Public" for any member of my4oneone.

At launch, my4oneone will offer functions including myFriends (other people designated as Personal or Privileged contacts), myWishlist, myProfile (with a highly detailed set of information), myChildren (the ability for a parent/s to create a Profile and Wish List for their children) and myActivity (tracking all actions by both user and contacts for easy reference).  Site visitors will be able to comment on all data fields in each of these areas.

Planned additions to the site include Categories to store a wide range of information, myCalendar, myMedical, myRecommendations on products and services, myRatings of things like movies and books, and People Like Me as well as iPhone, iPad and Android apps.

Visit http://www.my4oneone.com to see this new innovation in social networking and personal information storage in action.

DealExtreme Announces New DX.com Domain Name, Revamped Look

DealExtreme is announcing that they have added the new domain name DX.com and have revamped the website itself for easier browsing

New domain, new look, more great deals

DX.com is 100% committed to making shopping at DX a more pleasurable experience for their customers

HONG KONG, Jan. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- A new domain name of DX.com has been added to make getting to the site easier and more convenient. DX is continually looking for ways to improve their customer relations and their overall customer satisfaction, and by improving their brand recognition they will bring new customers in as well as retain the existing ones. There are very few websites that carry a two letter top-level domain bringing status and prestige to DX.com.  This in turn makes DealExtreme a stronger brand overall which builds confidence for the future of the company.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101229/CN22302LOGO )

Shorter, Stronger, Faster

A new tag line of "Shorter, Stronger, Faster" says it all when it comes to their service, products and commitment to excellence, and DX's Director of Marketing Danny Qiu reiterated that with this sentiment: "We have become DX.com and are officially rebranding the website from DealeXtreme.com to DX.com. Our customers have been associating 'DX' with DealeXtreme.com for years, which made the transition to DX.com a seamless one.  As an online retailer with a wide variety of gadgets at affordable prices, this is the next logical step in adding more visibility to our brand.  We couldn't be more excited about these changes and in the future of DX.com"

DX is making internal changes as well as external ones.  Their CRM (Customer Relation Management), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) will be updated to meet their growing customer base needs.  DX has fully committed itself to doing what is necessary to maintain their high level of satisfaction and is proving that on a daily basis with these profound and meaningful changes.

Upcoming promotions on DX.com will have more relevance and be of a more exciting nature.  With more frequency and better prizes - like the iPhones 4S, for example - DX customers will have a greater opportunity to both participate and to win.

Convenience, new easy to remember domain and the always easy to access website from nearly every web-capable device on the planet; free shipping, low prices and an incredible product selection makes DX.com the number one electronics and gadget retailer on the planet. No other retailer can match their dedication to ease of use, or their desire for continual improvement in their user experience.

Number of Ion Community Users Triples, Spurred by Open Access to DNA Sequencing Protocols and Analysis Software

Maker of Ion Personal Genome Machine(TM) System sets new targets for $3 million in prizes in Life Grand Challenges competition

CARLSBAD, Calif., Dec. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE) today announced that membership in the Ion Community, the online open-access resource for Ion Torrent users and developers, has tripled to 5,000 people in just three months. The sudden jump in membership began after Ion Torrent published its sequencing protocols, analysis software and datasets for the Ion Personal Genome Machine(TM) (PGM(TM)), the world's first benchtop sequencer, on Sept 30th( )of this year.

The Ion Community, which was established in March, has grown by about 150 new members a week and is expected to reach 10,000 members in 2012. Most of the community members are either current Ion Torrent users, people who want to learn more about the system by reviewing the datasets and protocols, or developers working on novel applications.

"The amazing growth of the Ion Community underscores the huge demand there is in the scientific community to work with an open access platform and participate in how that platform develops," said Ion Torrent Founder and CEO Dr. Jonathan M. Rothberg.  "Sharing information will accelerate the development of Ion semiconductor sequencing and inevitably drive breakthroughs in fields including medicine, energy and agriculture."

Eric Olivares, founder of SEQanswers, the most popular online sequencing community, said: "The Ion Community has embraced the same principles that have driven the growth of SEQanswers: unrestricted access to information, protocols, and inter-user communication. In a rapidly evolving field where hardware, analysis algorithms, and wet-lab methods change monthly, I am excited to see a major technology provider embrace openness and acknowledge that their users will drive innovation on the platform."

New Life Grand Challenges Dataset

Ion Torrent also released its next round of benchmark data for the Life Grand Challenges competition. Participants are challenged to drive performance improvement of the Ion PGM sequencer in three areas: sample preparation, base yield and accuracy. To win the $1 million prize in any of these three categories, participants must beat the internal record at Ion Torrent by two-fold, through their own protocol improvements between January and March of 2012.

The latest Grand Challenges E. colidataset exhibits a average read length of 241 bp and high quality, (Q20) reads as long as 318 bp.  An Ion 318(TM) chip was used, generating 1.27 Gb of data. All participants must now use the Ion 318 chip, which delivers 100-fold more data than the initial 10 Mb specification of the Ion 314(TM) chip, giving participants room to achieve the new benchmarks. Raw voltage data and a cloud-based computing environment are available by registering for the Life Grand Challenges on the Ion Community. Entries for this round of the Life Grand Challenges close on Mar. 15, 2011

To win the challenges, participants must match or exceed these specific benchmarks:

    --  Scalability: A total of 2.54 Gb must be sequenced, twice the recorded
        1.27 Gb
    --  Speed: Sample preparation must be reduced to four hours, from the
        current six hours.
    --  Accuracy: The accuracy rate must increase to 99.5, or one error per 200
        base pair reads, from the documented 99 percent accuracy of 2011.
"I believe the Accuracy Challenge is achievable - in fact I came close to the benchmark earlier in the year -- because it only requires a computer and an idea," said Monkol Lek, a doctoral candidate at the University of Sydney, who performs technical work with Ion PGM System data and writes the BioLektures  blog. "Life Technologies has generously provided a wealth of resources in the form of data sets, source code and analysis tools available through the Ion Community. The improvements in the Torrent Suite software have demonstrated improving accuracy is composed of common problems in which standard techniques can be applied."

The benchmarks and other information are available at the Ion Community website.  Members and others can follow the Grand Challenges on Facebook and Twitter and hear Blog Talk interviews at blogtalkradio.

RecognitION program

Ion Torrent also announced that it has given away $20,000 and four boxes of Ion 316(TM) chips as part of the new RecognitION program, which acknowledges users' unique and valuable contributions to the Ion Community. RecognitION distributes points to those who participate in the community and the points are redeemed for rewards ranging from a T-shirt to an iPad to a free Ion PGM Sequencer. Users who accumulate 150,000 points win an Ion PGM Sequencer and a paid trip to a scientific conference.

Design of Winning Brands Government / Military Website Begins in Preparation for Service to First U.S. Government Agency

NEW YORK, Dec. 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to emerging vendor arrangements between Winning Brands (USOTC: WNBD) and a branch of the armed services, the design of a U.S. government/military website for Winning Brands has been started. Winning Brands is manufacturer of 1000+ Stain Remover, KIND Laundry Products and CLEAN1 Hard Surface.  The Winning Brands government/military website will serve as an online summary of Winning Brands products that are newly available to U.S. government agencies in terms that are relevant to government/military personnel.  The site will feature direct live links to GSA online purchasing resources and will help official procurement personnel cut through to the facts which matter to them.

The company has assigned the launch to ZRC Group http://www.zrcinc.com/creativeSolutions.php?id=5. ZRC is an award-winning design team, with a track record in a variety of brand development, marketing and communication assignments for international clients, such as Heineken, Allied Domecq, Butterfield Bank as well as small but emerging companies who are taking their brands to the next level.  ZRC Managing Partner, Vern Zimmerman, is responsible for implementing the new Winning Brands government website, adding:  "We are excited to be entrusted with such an important and interesting assignment.  We will ensure that this mission-critical project will have a positive impact for the company and its clients.  Our first task is to operationalize an easily used government portal.  We will then add more features to it as the U.S. government relationship evolves."

GSA Schedule Contract GS-07F-0052Y for Federal Supply Schedule 073 was awarded to Winning Brands in Q4 2011.  Vendor arrangements are being put into place with a branch of the military as the first result of this Schedule Contract.  More details regarding these vendor arrangements are expected in January. 

Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, comments: "Winning Brands has progressed systematically toward qualifying for business with the U.S. government.  We are proud of the opportunity to serve GSA client agencies in 2012 and grateful to the first branch of government preparing to do business with us. We have recently received our draft vendor documents and EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) protocols for testing.  The Winning Brands government/military website will appear in all communications with government.  It will be the place in which we first welcome official visitors, rather than a consumer website.  We anticipate going live in 6 weeks."   Winning Brands maintains a weblog for the benefit of Winning Brands shareholders in which these developments and others of interest to stakeholders are discussed:  http://www.WinningBrandsCorporation.com/blog.

ABOUT WINNING BRANDS CORPORATION:  Winning Brands is a manufacturer of advanced cleaning solutions including 1000+ Stain Remover, World's Most Versatile Cleaning Solution(TM), an alternative to conventional solvents.  The innovative stain remover and multi-cleaner, which was known during early marketing as Winning Colours, is much discussed in social media because of its interesting household, commercial and industrial cleaning characteristics: http://www.facebook.com/1000PlusStainRemover. 1000+ is targeted by Winning Brands to become a favourite stain removing solution because of its exceptional skin-friendliness, versatility and economy when diluted with water. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=1000%2B+Stain+Remover&aq=f. 1000+ also uses 90% less packaging than conventional cleaning solutions by being super-concentrated, enabling consumers to throw away far fewer bottles into the waste stream, together with reduced waste in cardboard case packaging, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions related to transportation.  The phrase "World's Most Versatile Cleaning Solution", 1000+ Stain Remover and CLEAN1 are trademarks of Niagara Mist Marketing Ltd., Division of Winning Brands Corporation.

Gamesys: Online Bingo Winner Scoops GBP1.5k at Jackpotjoy

LONDON, December 30, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    Jackpotjoy's latest Bingo victory was a win worth GBP1,501, which went to a Mrs.
Lillian W earlier this month. Mrs. W scored her prize at one of JackpotJoy's newest games
addition, the 90 Ball Bingo Special.

    Jackpotjoy prides itself on its wide selection of games, boasting classic bingo,
online casino [http://www.jackpotjoy.com/online-casino ], poker and slots
[http://www.jackpotjoy.com/online-slots ] games, alongside newer variations. Specialised
chat rooms such as the Diamond, Tiki and Sapphire Rooms cater to niche versions of famous
bingo games.

    Bingo 90 is perhaps the most famous - and straightforward - version of online bingo.
On logging in, participants are pointed towards the games lobby and given a choice of
rooms, sorted by either ticket price, number of players, or the size of the jackpot.

    Following the gameplay is far easier than traditional, land-based bingo. Each room is
subdivided into three columns. On the left hand side is a column with details of the
current jackpots, players and balls called. In the middle column, a timer is displayed,
counting down to the next game. And in the right column is the all-important chat window.

    Each player's card or cards are marked automatically as they play. As the cards are
marked off, those closest to completion are pushed to the front, allowing for easy
monitoring of all the frontrunners. Each win is automatically credited to a player's
account.

    Ramping up the excitement is the Progressive Jackpot which runs across all games. It
works by apportioning a fraction of the cost of each ticket into a collective Jackpot,
which is awarded for the first 'full house' (within a certain number of balls called).

    All bingo games are moderated by Chat Hosts, who are there to answer questions and
keep a sense of community running throughout the games - vital to the Jackpotjoy
experience. Extra prizes are also up for grabs in special Chat Host Games.

    Of the latest win, Mrs. W said she was "very, very happy!", adding, "I will be taking
a holiday to the Dominican Republic. I lost my mother just after my birthday, so it has
been a hard moment, this holiday will help. Thanks for my win!"

    GAMESYS

    The Gamesys Group was founded in April 2001.The aim was to build a profitable online
entertainment business providing online bingo [http://www.jackpotjoy.com/online-bingo ],
online roulette [http://www.jackpotjoy.com/roulette ] and online slots to the worldwide
audience of Jackpotjoy [http://www.jackpotjoywinners.com ].
