Trimble to Acquire StruCad Business From AceCad Software to Extend Tekla's Structural Steel Industry Presence

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) announced today it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the StruCad and StruEngineer business from AceCad Software to expand its construction solutions. The addition of the software products is expected to extend Tekla's industry leading Building Information Modeling (BIM) solutions for structural steel contractors to automate project estimating and management, modeling and detailing. The acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2012. Financial terms were not disclosed.

StruCad is a complete 3D structural detailing system for steel detailers and fabricators. StruCad provides an environment for rapid detailing automation, automatic fabrication shop drawings and computer numeric control (CNC) machinery production deliverables. The software allows effective collaboration between engineers, detailers and fabricators; enabling them to derive more value when executing structural steel projects--through reduced steelwork design, fabrication, construction schedules and costs.

StruEngineer is an engineering software enabling 3D steelwork modeling and construction management for engineering companies. Fully compatible with the StruCad steel detailing system, StruEngineer compresses the structural engineering layout and connection design in the conceptual phase to also support more rapid and accurate estimating.

"We are excited to bring together market leading BIM solutions for the structural steel space," said Risto Raty, vice president of Tekla Corporation, a Trimble company. "At Tekla and Trimble, we are focused on delivering constructible solutions to the AEC industry to help our clients improve project delivery. Together with the StruCad and StruEngineer business teams, we can provide deeper, richer solutions that enable improved productivity for our structural steel clients and offer them the opportunity to take advantage of our portfolio of tools."

In addition, Tekla will be partnering with AceCad Software to integrate its BIM structures solution with AceCad's StruM.I.S. enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. StruM.I.S is a steel fabrication management information system that connects the information flow and work processes through the steelwork contract between departments, suppliers and clients; from estimate tendering, through procurement and production and into construction. The software is used by engineering and fabrication companies to implement a dedicated fabrication management information system to manage across all departments including multiple sites or even across supply chains.

"We are pleased to be partnering with Tekla to create a seamless workflow for our customers," said Richard Brotherton, executive director of AceCad Software. "Integration with Tekla's BIM solution will further enable model and fabrication data to be processed through production."

The StruCad and StruEngineering business will be reported as part of the Trimble's Engineering and Construction segment.

DEONET Introduces Smallest USB Stick in the World

EINDHOVEN, the Netherlands, December 19, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    ?DEONET, Dutch manufacturer of promotional products such as USB-sticks, introduces
the smallest USB-stick in the world. This super small USB-stick has been made with a new
kind of memory chip for USB sticks, called the Micro UDP-chip. It is less than half the
size of the classic USB-memorychip.

    Smallest USB-stick in the world

    The new Micro UDP-chip measures 19,5 x 14,5 mm, barely the size of a fingertop, and it
is only 2,9 mm thin. This super small USB-stick is available in 4, 8 and 16 GB and will be
introduced in January at the biggest business fair for promotional gifts in Europe: PSI
Duesseldorf.

    Advantages

    "For years, DEONET noticed a high demand for user friendly and compact USB sticks.
With the development of the Micro UDP-chip, we continue being innovative in the USB
market", according Rob van Berkom, CEO of DEONET. "This new technique enables us to
introduce very small USB solutions." The main advantage is that the USB stick is small
enough to keep it in a wallet or hang it on a bunch of keys. In addition, the smallest
USB-stick from DEONET is so small it barely protrudes of the USB port of the PC and
laptop. This makes it possible to leave the USB-stick in the laptop, even if it's stored
in a bag.

    Golden USB-stick

    The smallest USB-stick in the world is just one of the original USB-sticks with which
DEONET distinguishes itself from competitors. DEONET's golden USB stick with diamants, the
most expensive USB-stick in the market at that moment, attracted a lot of attention from
the international press a couple of years ago.

    About DEONET

    DEONET is a Dutch manufacturer of promotional products such as personalised
USB-sticks, key rings, pens and more. The company mainly provides to the promotional gift
industry, marketing and advertising agencies and IT-resellers. DEONET has sales offices in
eight countries and exports to more than 60 countries in the world.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Scholastic Media, a division of Scholastic Inc., (NASDAQ: SCHL) the  global children's publishing, education and media company, announced today the launch of 'I SPY Arcade', a series of four new gaming apps inspired by the brain-teasing play of I SPY ®, the best-selling books and games from Scholastic. With addictive, fast-paced game play that's easy to learn but tough to master, I SPY Arcade game apps feature I SPY objects in an arcade style play pattern with increasingly challenging brain-teasers.  All four applications will be available for the iPhone® and iPod Touch® on the iTunes App Store, as well as for Android(TM) smart phones and tablets on the Android Market and other carrier stores. 'I SPY Arcade: Match Attack'  is available now while 'I SPY Arcade: Spy Squares', 'I SPY Arcade: Fine Line' and 'I SPY Arcade: Critter Craze' will roll out one per month in the respective stores through March 2012 at $2.99 each.

"I SPY interactive games have captivated children and adults alike for nearly 15 years offering a unique style of brain-teasing play," said Deborah Forte, President of Scholastic Media and Executive Vice President of Scholastic Inc. "This new extension of I SPY gaming expands the play experience to new audiences of all ages who love the brand but crave fast-paced, leveled gaming on mobile platforms, including Scholastic's first offering for Android customers."

Each I SPY Arcade app features arcade-style games that keep players entertained while offering on-the-spot logic and reasoning challenges, 65 progressively difficult levels and 'Super Challenger' bonus levels. The I SPY Arcade apps include:

I SPY ARCADE: MATCH ATTACK (Available Now)
Players race against time to determine the relationship of moving objects and match them to clear the game board and advance to the next level.  Objects match in different ways (i.e. color, shape, usage, etc.), so players must pay attention and constantly change their thinking.

I SPY ARCADE: SPY SQUARES (Available January 2012)
Every object has its place in Spy Squares and players are challenged to figure out where each belongs!  Objects in every row and column on the game board share characteristics - some obvious (color, shape), others not so obvious (name, function).  More squares and more objects appear through advancing levels, making puzzles more challenging to solve.

I SPY ARCADE: FINE LINE (Available February 2012)
Leverage knowledge of numbers and math to divide objects on the game board into two or more groups with equivalent values. The farther that players advance through the 65 levels, the more complex the puzzles -- with more objects, more lines, and more math and logic concepts.

I SPY ARCADE: CRITTER CRAZE (Available March 2012)
Corral bugs and critters in a fast-paced game of visual discrimination. To advance through the levels, players must match critters with common characteristics.  As each level gets solved, players unlock magnifying glasses, flashlights and x-ray tools to help distinguish the critters.

Since the first I SPY book, written by Jean Marzollo with photographs from Walter Wick, was published by Scholastic 20 years ago, the program has expanded to include 42 million books in print. Scholastic Media has developed the property into a best-selling global franchise - including an Emmy Award-winning television series that airs on HBO Family in the US - and has been sold in more than 30 countries worldwide. In addition to Leapster, Leapster2 and Leapster Explorer, the best-selling I SPY interactive franchise includes product offerings on platforms such as LeapFrog's Tag Learning System, Nintendo Wii(TM) and DS(TM), as well as apps for iPod touch®, iPhone® and iPad®.

Each of Scholastic Media's apps is developed in-house, ensuring fidelity to the tone, look, and feel of beloved Scholastic brands such as I SPY, while guaranteeing that parents can trust the apps to be both educational and entertaining. The company's penchant for developing quality entertainment for children and families on new platforms informs these new titles as well as the release of its 'Touch & Tilt(TM)' book apps: The Magic School Bus: Dinosaurs, The Magic School Bus: Oceans, Go, Clifford, Go and I Love You Through and Through.  In addition to I SPY(TM), Scholastic Media has additional game apps for iOS based on the hit children's properties Clifford The Big Red Dog ®, The 39 Clues (TM), WordGirl ® and Goosebumps (TM).

Telstra International Launches Global DDoS Protection

LONDON, December 21, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

             Service filters traffic on customer Internet connections to Telstra

global organisations today are reliant on constant online availability and Telstra
International's Global DDoS Protection solution helps businesses to avoid disruption and
mitigate unexpected costs through a highly resilient protection service."

    "DDoS attacks have increased tenfold since 2005. As they have also become increasingly
targeted, security has rapidly become a boardroom issue," said Mr Bell. "A cloud based
DDoS service is now amongst the best ways to protect your Internet-facing web sites
against malicious attacks and Telstra can integrate these seamlessly with customers' IT
systems, with expert support and experience close at hand."

    The service makes it easy and cost-effective for the customer to implement DDoS

highlights our extensive experience in managing security for global businesses," comments
Mr. Bell. "It offers peace of mind to enterprises, with our global operations mitigating
DDoS risks, and in many cases, without the customer having ever realised a threat

Holiday Mobile Device Shoppers Take Heed: New Study by National Cyber Security Alliance and McAfee Reveals Lack of Cyber Safety Among Mobile Users

Nearly Three-Fourths of Americans Have Never Installed Security Software on their Smartphone

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Those looking to purchase or receive smartphones and mobile technologies this holiday season should keep cyber safety top of mind. A new national study released by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and McAfee reveals a false sense of cyber security for mobile users and provides insight into how mobile users could impact our nation's collective digital infrastructure.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110504/DC95016LOGO)(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101004/DC76016LOGO)

The survey, conducted by Zogby International, found that nearly three quarters (72%) of Americans have never installed data protection applications or security software on their smartphones in order to protect it against data loss or to protect it against viruses and malware.

Yet consumers continue to use smartphones more frequently in their digital lives:

    --  The survey shows that roughly two-fifths (44%) of Americans use their
        smart phones to access the Internet and three quarters (75%) say they
        access the Internet more frequently on their device today than they did
        one year ago
    --  According to digital research firm comScore, close to 32.5 million
        Americans accessed banking information via mobile device at the end of
        the second quarter of 2011, a 21% increase from in the fourth quarter of
        2010
    --  Approximately 24% of consumers store computer or banking passwords on
        their mobile devices. (source: Consumer Reports' 2011 State of the Net
        Survey)
    --  More than half of smartphone users do not use any password protection to
        prevent unauthorized device access. (source: Wall Street Journal -
        http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405270230365740457635977024351756
        8.html)
    --  In the U.S. alone, 113 mobile phones are lost every minute (Source:
        Gartner)
The NCSA/McAfee research also found that seven in ten (70%) smartphone owners say they feel their device is safe from hackers, malware and other types of cybercrime. This data shows that taking extra precautions to protect smart phones from virus attacks and other threats is not common practice for U.S. consumers as most feel their devices are safe enough.

While mobile Internet users may feel their devices are safe, data thieves and hackers continuously evolve their operations to take advantage of user vulnerabilities. Mobile malware incidents are still relatively low in number, but with smartphones and tablets eclipsing unit sales of desktop and laptop PCs, cybercriminals will continue to set their sights on mobile; and increased mobile Internet use will continue to exacerbate security and data breach issues.

Along with the uptick in mobile Internet use, the NCSA/McAfee survey also found that more applications are being developed and downloaded to meet the variety of user interests and needs:

    --  In the last six months, the applications most smartphone owners say they
        have added to their phones are games (46%), followed by social
        networking apps (37%)
    --  Only 26% of smartphone owners say they always read the developer policy
        on the use of personal information when downloading an app and a third
        (31%) say they never read the policy
    --  Smartphone users are pretty well split as to whether they have ever
        abandoned downloading an app over security or safety concerns (50% to
        45%)
    --  Of those who have decided not to download an app over a security or
        safety concern, most said they did so because they were unsure of what
        data about themselves was being collected and how it would be used (71%)
The National Cyber Security Alliance advises that consumer vigilance is a powerful way to ensure the safety of information stored on and shared through mobile devices. "This data continues to enforce the reality that more Americans are connecting to the Internet anywhere, anytime, and from a larger variety of devices than ever before," said Michael Kaiser, executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance.  "While the busy holiday season highlights new and exciting technologies being offered by retailers and adopted by consumers, we need to remain vigilant and be sure that all Web-connected hardware has the proper security tools installed and is kept up to date.   Beginning with the STOP. THINK. CONNECT. guidelines, the use of sound judgment online is necessary to protect our shared digital resources."

"Just as mobile retailers are working to meet the holiday consumer demand for mobile devices and users are working to optimize the convenience of new technologies, cyber criminals are creatively working on new ways to penetrate our digital properties," said John Thode, executive vice president, consumer, mobile and small business, McAfee.  "This study highlights the need to focus on the security of our mobile devices and networks as mobile technologies are adopted by an ever-increasing amount of the population and becoming a central part of our lives."

When purchasing a new mobile device, consumers should take an informed approach regarding security.  These steps can help support the decision process and transition to a new mobile technology:

    --  Ask About Security Features and Functions: Compare security features for
        each mobile device under consideration. Select the one that offers the
        best protection and ask about applications and software protections that
        you can install after purchasing.
    --  Determine User Needs: Each individual user will require functionality
        tailored for their needs. Carefully assess your user needs and identify
        which technologies meet those requirements
    --  Research the Product: Research the potential purchase to learn the
        maintenance required, proper secure usage, and any additional software
        or applications that may be necessary to run a secure, protected device
    --  Ask Questions: When visiting a retailer, ask the sales person questions
        about the device and for feedback on consumer satisfaction and reported
        security issues
Additionally, whether new or old, today's mobile Internet capable devices are as powerful and connected as any PC or laptop. NCSA advises that everyone take the same security precautions with mobile devices as they do with their computers.  The first step is STOP. THINK. CONNECT. in addition to the following:

Keep a Clean Machine

    --  Keep your mobile security software current: Having the latest security
        software is a primary safety and security measure
    --  Automate software updates: Many software programs will automatically
        connect and update to defend against known risks. Turn on automatic
        updates if that's an available option
    --  Protect all devices that connect to the Internet: Along with computers,
        smartphones, gaming systems, and other web-enabled devices also need
        protection from viruses and malware
Protect Your Personal Information

Phones can contain tremendous amounts of personal information. Lost or stolen devices can be used to gather information about you and, potentially, others. Protect your phone like you would your computer.

    --  Secure your phone: Use the strongest passcode protection available to
        lock your phone
    --  Secure your accounts: Ask for protection beyond passwords. Many account
        providers now offer additional ways for you verify who you are before
        you conduct business on that site.
    --  Make passwords long and strong: Combine capital and lowercase letters
        with numbers and symbols to create a more secure password.
    --  Unique account, unique password: Separate passwords for every account
        helps to thwart cybercriminals.
    --  Write it down and keep it safe: Everyone can forget a password. Keep a
        list that's stored in a safe, secure place away from your computer.
    --  Own your online presence: When available, set the privacy and security
        settings on websites and apps to your comfort level for information
        sharing. It's ok to limit who you share information with.
    --  Understand your apps: Review the privacy policy and know what data
        (location, access to your social networks) on your device an app can
        access before you download it.
Connect with Care

    --  Get savvy about Wi-Fi hotspots: Limit the type of business you conduct
        and adjust the security settings on your device to limit who can access
        your phone.
    --  Protect your $$: When banking and shopping, check to be sure the site is
        security enabled. Look for web addresses with "https://" or "shttp://",
        which means the site takes extra measures to help secure your
        information while in transit. "Http://" is not secure.
Be Web Wise

    --  Stay current. Keep pace with new ways to stay safe online. Check trusted
        websites for the latest information, and share with friends, family, and
        colleagues and encourage them to be web wise.
    --  Take control of your technology: Learn how to disable the geotagging
        feature on your phone at http://icanstalku.com/how.php#disable.

Survey Methodology

NCSA and McAfee commissioned Zogby International to analyze the cyber security behaviors and perceptions of Americans.  The study surveyed 2,337 adults nationwide from 9/23/11 to 9/28/11.  Slight weights were added to region, age, race, gender, and education to more accurately reflect the population. The margin of error is +/- 2.1 percentage points. Margins of error are higher in sub-groups.  The MOE calculation is for sampling error only.  A full summary of the report can be found at http://www.staysafeonline.org.

MoMinis Launches PlayScape, the First Mobile Mega-Game for Android Featuring 50 Games Offering Completely Transferable Experience Points and Virtual Currency

With the increased adoption of Android devices among Kids, Tweens, Teens and even Grandparents, PlayScape will make waiting in the long, last minute holiday shopping lines fun for the entire family

TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- What if you could use bonus points from the mobile game Words With Friends(TM) to advance a level in Drop7(TM), then gain experience points from progressing to the next level in Poker, and use the virtual currency you earn in all of these games to buy virtual goods redeemable in any game, entirely on your mobile phone?

PlayScape is the first mobile Mega-Game to provide users with a uniform cross-game experience by allowing Experience Points and Virtual Currency accumulated in one game to be completely transferable to any game. With Android having crossed the tipping point to become the leading smartphone platform with a 52.5% share of the global smartphone market (Gartner), the ease-of-use made possible by PlayScape will provide a solid starting point for those new to mobile gaming while still challenging hard core gamers.

PlayScape is free and available for download in the Google Android Market: https://market.android.com/details?id=playscape.mominis.gameconsole.com

MoMinis developed PlayScape based on the company's extensive game playing analysis of the 200+ games created with The MoMinis Studio, which allowed the company to understand the broad range of player behavior and motivation. This resulted in the creation of the PlayScape Mega-Game which was developed for a range of player types with incentives built-in to the process, creating a uniform and fun cross game experience.

What makes the PlayScape gaming experience so engaging are the cross-game, constantly refreshed Missions which players achieve and the Experience Points which players earn as part of the playing experience. The Mission Wall provides users with a range of constantly updated missions which enable them to accrue Experience Points for completing various tasks.  Players also earn Virtual Currency - PlayScape Coins - for unlocking new games / levels, and completing a task from the Mission Wall. PlayScape Coins are redeemable for virtual goods, new games and power ups.

PlayScape is free and includes 50 games of all genres including arcade, casual, sports, puzzle, action, and brain. The 40,000 daily (and growing) downloads for MoMinis stand-alone games (all in PlayScape) include Bouncy Bill, a leading new arcade game in the Android Market with 500,000 downloads ; Hoopz, a slam-dunk sports game to test your aiming skills on the basketball court; Ninja Run, an action-adventure game, and Bubble Monkey, an arcade game the whole family can play.

"PlayScape is the product of three years of analysis of game playing usage patterns in order to create an intuitive, user-friendly game experience that would be as natural for my grandmother as it would be to a hardcore gamer," said Eyal Rabinovich, MoMinis VP Marketing and co-founder. "With all games developed on The MoMinis Studio, PlayScape guarantees a stable gaming experience regardless of the Android mobile phones and tablets being used."

MoMinis provides developers and mobile operators with an end-to-end cross-platform mobile gaming solution, from development to distribution. MoMinis offers developers The MoMinis Studio, a free rapid development environment to quickly and easily develop games in hours and days instead of weeks and months, supporting a range of operating systems including Android for mobile phones and tablets. Once their games are complete, developers can have MoMinis distribute their games and earn a share of the revenue generated.  MoMinis is a partner with leading international mobile operators, including NTT DoCoMo and Turkcell, providing them with mobile games.

In several tests conducted by MoMinis, the company generated download to paying customer conversion rates between 5 - 12%, significantly higher than the 1 -3% industry standard. Using a Freemium business model, in Q1 2012, developers will begin earning revenue from monetization opportunities in PlayScape from virtual currency, advertising, alternative payments and other paid services. Of course, players will be able to play for free by completing enough Missions and earning enough Experience Points and PlayScape Coins virtual currency.

Youku Celebrates Anniversary with Original Short Film "Father"

BEIJING, Dec. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Youku, China's leading Internet television company, celebrated the fifth anniversary of its public launch today with the premiere of "Father (Daughter)," an original short film from acclaimed duo-directors the Chopstick Brothers.

"Father" follows up on Chopstick Brothers film "Old Boys," which was released last year as a crowning ending piece of the highly successful 11 Degrees New Media Short Film Project series. The 11 Degrees films promoted the Chevy Cruze as a lifestyle brand to Youku's predominantly young, upwardly mobile audience, and received more than 100 million views. The campaign also got Youku named as "Best Contribution to a Campaign by a Media Owner" by the Festival of Media Asia Awards this past November.

"Father (Daughter)" has only been online a few hours and has already racked up hundreds of thousands of views. Like "Old Boys," "Father" harnesses the Chopstick Brothers' unique blend of humor and drama with a healthy side of nostalgia, and encourages viewers to reflect on their own past and their relationships with their parents and children.

"In the internet era, it doesn't take a huge production company, famous directors and big superstars to make a film that moves people. What it takes is a commitment to honestly transmitting feelings from real life in a way that touches on social issues and can resonate with people," said Frank Ming Wei, Youku's senior vice president.

"In the past, we were fans of traditional film, and also struggling practitioners of it," says one "Father" director Xiao Yang. "Now, the internet video industry is getting more developed by the day. Whether it's "Old Boys" or "Father" we're talking about, we wouldn't have been able to get any content out there without Youku's platform as well as the support of Chevrolet Cruze."

Youku pursues a hybrid content strategy, which focuses on offering a combination of licensed professional content, in-house production from Youku Original, and user-generated content. Youku has had great success with its original productions. This year, Youku Original followed up with similar successful in-house productions including Miss Puff and One Step Away.

About Youku

Youku Inc. is China's leading Internet television company. Our Internet television platform enables users to search, view and share high-quality video content quickly and easily across multiple devices.

Numerex Upgrades its Satellite-based Asset Monitoring Solution

Integrated Remote Monitoring and Alarm Solution Available for Liquid Tank Level and Door Sensors

ATLANTA, Dec. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Numerex Corp (NASDAQ: NMRX), a leading single source provider of secure machine-to-machine (M2M) products and services, announced today its new satellite-based end-to-end remote asset monitoring solution, which enables Value Added Resellers (VARs) to provide secure, configurable asset visibility to their customers seeking to monitor liquid tanks and doors. The full solution includes the lightweight yet rugged Numerex Satellite FLEX tracking device, the wireless Numerex FLEX SNSR interface which can be connected to a broad range of asset sensors, and the Numerex FASTrack application which makes sense of the captured data.

The FLEX SNSR is connected to the tank level or door sensor and wirelessly transmits the sensor data to the Satellite FLEX. The Satellite FLEX, which can link up to four FLEX SNSRs, sends the data to the web-based FASTrack application. This solution is usable even in volatile environments, as both the Satellite FLEX and FLEX SNSR have completed Intrinsically Safe (IS) Certification.  MET Laboratories conducted the certification, qualifying the solution as Class I, Division 1, Groups A-D standards under UL 913 and UL60950.

Remote monitoring of liquid tank levels can significantly reduce operational expenses by optimizing fleet dispatch as well as identifying leaks or pilferage. Global visibility to door open/close events helps ensure driver and asset safety and also reduces cargo shrinkage. For many installations, Numerex's solution enables exterior mounting of the satellite transmitter and internal mounting of a magnetic door sensor for a no-drilling solution. This quick, easy, and reliable installation option provides a durable solution that reduces the possibility of malicious tampering.

The Numerex FASTrack application can be configured to generate visual and audio alerts as well as email notifications when a tank level or door alarm event occurs. This powerful cloud-based application enables enterprises to aggregate, analyze, and take action on data collected from a wide variety of vehicles and assets in one integrated application console, and is a much-needed tool for managing increasingly complex fleet and logistics operations.

"Numerex is dedicated to offering cost-effective asset visibility and easy-to-implement solutions," said Darren Koenig, vice president of marketing and products at Numerex. "Our upgraded satellite-based solution can be rapidly configured and implemented. The Numerex Satellite FLEX tracking device is capable of delivering years of uninterrupted service on a single and easily field-replaceable battery.  It can be installed, activated and operational in less than five minutes.  In addition, with another IS certification under our belt, our customers can confidently rely on Satellite FLEX as the hub for versatile global tracking and monitoring solutions for assets as diverse as a shipping container or an oil field fuel tank."
