Ubuntu Dumping X (Finally)
Poster: Aron Schatz
Posted on November 5, 2010 at 10:36:02 AM
Eventually, Ubuntu will be running on Wayland. Wayland is a new compositing engine built from the ground up AND is a display server. It takes over the X server and compositing engine into one package. Still, an X server can run in tandem with Wayland so older X applications will still run. This is one of the best pieces of news for Linux on the desktop. Wayland's entry into Ubuntu will probably take years, but it is coming.

http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/551
Quote
The next major transition for Unity will be to deliver it on Wayland, the OpenGL-based display management system. We’d like to embrace Wayland early, as much of the work we’re doing on uTouch and other input systems will be relevant for Wayland and it’s an area we can make a useful contribution to the project.
We’re confident we’ll be able to retain the ability to run X applications in a compatibility mode, so this is not a transition that needs to reset the world of desktop free software. Nor is it a transition everyone needs to make at the same time: for the same reason we’ll keep investing in the 2D experience on Ubuntu despite also believing that Unity, with all it’s GL dependencies, is the best interface for the desktop. We’ll help GNOME and KDE with the transition, there’s no reason for them not to be there on day one either.

Location Labs Launches Sparkle(TM) Mobile Location & Controls Platform
New technology provides next-generation location, security, call and data controls to developers, carriers and handset manufacturers
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Location Labs Inc., the leading provider of mobile location-as-a-service infrastructure and applications, today announced the launch of Sparkle(TM), a next-generation mobile location, controls, and security platform. At the Sprint Developer Conference last week, Sprint announced plans to pre-load the Sparkle platform on future smartphones.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100621/SF24320)
When deployed on handsets, the Sparkle Client provides platform developers with access to a number of services including location, security, and user-level controls to manage voice, data and applications. In addition, when deployed through the carriers, Sparkle provides developers with access to controls and location exposed as an API. Sparkle also allows developers to easily build applications around safety, security and monitoring to provide richer and more complex applications for end-users.
The Sparkle Platform for Application Developers offers:
-- On-Demand Cloud-based Location - The ability to locate and identify any
handset
-- Geofencing & Location Services - Precise geofence creation and messaging
via web service interfaces
-- Controls for Data & Voice - Monitor and control voice, data and text
message services on the handset
-- Driving Velocity Determination - The ability to detect motion and
velocity directly from the handset
Sparkle has already hit the market as part of a private Beta with select developers such as RaizLabs, who developed an intelligent location-based application called MayorMaker (available for free on the Apple App Store), which utilizes Sparkle's Geofencing capabilities along with the Foursquare, Facebook and Twitter APIs to automatically check users into and out of their favorite venues. Other applications that use Sparkle's Control capabilities include TweetMover, (available for free on the Apple App Store), the first game developed using Twitter to control and deliver Tweets automatically based on location.
"The Location Labs geofencing library, called Sparkle, allowed us to build MayorMaker. We were able to focus on the application experience and not the inner workings of geofencing and battery life. MayorMaker leverages Sparkle Geofencing to automatically Check-in and Check-out users from their favorite venues in Foursquare," said Gregory Raiz, founder Raizlabs.
"Our Sparkle Platform provides the next frontier in user controls and location access," said Tasso Roumeliotis, CEO of Location Labs. "This new offering provides users as well as developers with access and controls to a range of services surpassing what is offered by Google, RIM or Apple. We are excited to once again be at the forefront of innovation and expect to see a whole new category of applications surface from this latest offering."

Ask.com Launches Q&A Service for Mobile Devices
Ask for iPhone Goes Beyond the Desktop to Answer On-the-Go Questions
OAKLAND, Calif., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Ask.com,the number one online brand for questions and answers and an operating business of IAC (Nasdaq: IACI), today publicly released its mobile application for iPhone. Now available within iTunes, the Ask for iPhone app allows Ask.com users to ask and answer questions from their mobile devices. Previously only limited to a subset of Ask.com website users, the full Ask.com Q&A experience is now available to anyone who downloads the app.
"Millions of people come to Ask.com with their questions everyday - now they don't have to wait until they get back to their computers to get the answers they need," said Doug Leeds, President, Ask.com US. "The number of questions posed on Ask.com has steadily increased since our Q&A beta launch and the addition of our mobile app helps us do a better job of getting those answers, either from the web or from people nearby."
Ask for iPhone instantly returns the best answer from the web in response to user questions; if the web's best answer isn't sufficient, the service then leverages proprietary technology to route the question directly to a relevant Ask.com user.
Ask for iPhone includes the following features:
-- Combination of search and real people. Like the Ask.com Q&A beta site,
Ask for iPhone is the only place that answers questions using either
search technology or insight from people.
-- Say your question. Voice to text functionality, powered by Nuance
(Nasdaq: NUAN) allows users to simply ask questions, no typing required.
-- Intelligent question routing. Mobile users' questions don't just get
routed to other devices, they get delivered to any Ask.com user who is
qualified to answer based on expertise, knowledge area and, coming soon,
location. Likewise, Ask.com users who ask questions through the site
will be able to tap the knowledge of other users via their mobile
devices.
-- Answers find you. Push notifications include the entire answer, no
clicking through to the Ask.com site required.
By the end of the year, Ask for iPhone will also allow users to browse questions within their immediate surroundings, route location-specific questions to nearby Ask.com members and review recent questions asked about nearby points of interest.
"Despite the proliferation of Q&A sites and services out there, no one has really nailed it," said Greg Sterling, founder Sterling Market Intelligence and senior analyst, Opus Research. "Ask has an opportunity to do that with its new mobile app, which brings together location, a range of third party content and social features in a mobile-centric Q&A experience."

NC State Jenkins MBA Launches Online MBA Program

NC State Jenkins MBA Launches Online MBA Program
NC State University Expands MBA Program With Online Offering To Begin Fall 2011
RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The NC State Jenkins MBA program (http://mgt.ncsu.edu/mba/) has announced the creation of an online MBA program, scheduled to launch in fall 2011. Through the online program, students will complete their degrees in two years, with the same academic requirements as the working professional's degree offered at both the main and the Research Triangle Park campuses. Fifteen faculty members will deliver instruction for the online MBA program, all of whom teach on the main and RTP campuses. The online degree will consist of 45 credit hours, and cost $30,600 for in-state students and $58,230 for out-of-state students. Applications for the inaugural semester of the online program open on January 3, 2011 with a deadline of May 15. To view an application, visit http://www.mgt.ncsu.edu/mba/academic-programs/online.
By offering an AACSB-accredited online MBA program, Jenkins expects to attract "road warriors" who travel often; "transients" who are likely to be transferred due to their jobs; members of the military; international students; stay-at-home mothers or fathers; and tech-savvy students who prefer an online method that utilizes technology as part of the instructional process.
As a core strength of the Jenkins MBA program, and NC State University as a whole, technology will be a primary focus through the online MBA program. The Jenkins MBA program offers a comprehensive curriculum that focuses on emerging technologies and how to best evaluate, develop and pursue them, creating an innovative and intellectual environment with a focus on leadership and management in a technology-rich, global marketplace. With a remote campus in RTP, the Jenkins MBA program has connections to the area's top technology-related companies and organizations, and offers the advantage of proximity.
The majority of the online MBA instruction will be offered through NC State's Distance Education & Learning Technology Partners (DELTA), using mostly asynchronous methods, including podcasts linked with PowerPoint, tools such as Camtasia and Elluminate, streaming video files, and online discussion boards.
"By launching an online MBA program, we are fulfilling the demand for individuals who are attracted by the reputation of NC State and the uniqueness of its MBA program, but who also prefer an online format," said Steve Allen, associate dean for graduate programs and research in the NC State College of Management. "Over the years, we have received inquiries about an online MBA program, so we are pleased to add this to our offerings, and we look forward to our inaugural online MBA class."
"The addition of the Jenkins online MBA program is in step with the advancing world," said Ira R. Weiss, dean of the NC State College of Management. "All Jenkins MBA students have the opportunity to work with professors who are thought-leaders in this evolving technological age. We have developed the Jenkins online MBA program to offer the same advantages for students who choose to get their MBAs at a distance."

Even though it has been reported fixed by PayPal, I am not so sure I would continue using the PayPal application on the iPhone. People may want to wait this one out, and make sure that it is okay to use.

A security research firm has discovered several security problems with PayPal’s iPhone app, warning that hackers can use man-in-the-middle attacks to steal sensitive user data.
Even though it has been reported fixed by PayPal, I am not so sure I would continue using the PayPal application on the iPhone. People may want to wait this one out, and make sure that it is okay to use.
Here is a blurb from the article:
Quote
According to an audit of the app by Chicago-based viaForensics, the vulnerability stems from the app’s failure to confirm the authenticity of PayPal’s website when communicating over the Internet.
Without that confirmation, a hacker could electronically step between a user and PayPal, pretend to be the PayPal website and gather usernames and passwords. The hacker would need to be in the same physical location as the user or have gained access to the same Wi-Fi network.
In practice, that could mean setting up a Wi-Fi hotspot in a location, such as a train station, and waiting for someone to use the network for a PayPal transaction on their iPhone app. It would be a fishing expedition, but the equipment and software needed is commonly available.

Nexia Forms Redline Entertainment; a Film Distribution Company
SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --Nexia Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets: NXHD) has launched a new company named Redline Entertainment, Inc. (Redline). Redline was formed to assist filmmakers in securing distribution for their independent films. The first agreement Redline entered into was for the distribution rights for The Kane Files. Redline in turn retained Highland Entertainment as its sales agent for foreign distribution of The Kane Files.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090206/NE67358LOGO )
Redline will generate revenues by retaining distribution rights for each independent film it signs. Redline in some instances will partner with other distribution sales agents, such as Highland Entertainment. The purpose of securing the distribution rights for a film like The Kane Files is to create an additional source of revenue by performing many of the same functions as an outside distribution company, while maintaining control over the proceeds from distribution. The formation of Redline will be a mechanism to maintain greater control over Revel Entertainments film properties, as well as a way to generate additional revenues by assisting with sale of distribution rights for independent films by outside filmmakers.
Richard Surber, CEO of Nexia Holdings, Inc. and Vice President of Redline Entertainment, Inc. noted, "Redline presents an exciting opportunity to save money on distribution costs on films created by Revel Entertainment, as well as leverage our teams' expertise in finding distribution for other independent films. Redline already has secured distribution rights for three independent films. I will release the names of those films in the coming weeks."
Help us create more buzz around The Kane Files and become a Facebook fan. The Kane Files Facebook has all of the latest updates on its progression including trailers, key art, movie posters, and more. http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?vD7591168305&saved#!/pages/The-Kane-Files/159750977374502?ref=sgm.

NETGEAR Introduces 3DHD Wireless Technology for Sending High-Definition Video to Home Theaters Without the Expense and Hassle of New Wiring

NETGEAR Introduces 3DHD Wireless Technology for Sending High-Definition Video to Home Theaters Without the Expense and Hassle of New Wiring
NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology provides the world's highest-quality wireless bridge for whole-home high-definition video streaming
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and Internet service providers, today announced availability of its 3DHD Wireless Home Theater Networking Kit (WNHDB3004) with NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology, the first solution capable of reliably delivering jitter-free 1080p high-definition video streams throughout the home with no new wires.
The growing popularity of Internet-capable televisions and other home-theater equipment, including Blu-ray(TM) players, video game consoles and digital media adapters, often presents consumers with a big hurdle: The home router or gateway which provides an Internet connection is in one room of the house while the home theater system is in another - sometimes separated by several walls or even on different floors. Running Ethernet cables through the house is expensive and time-consuming.
NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology is the simple, fast and affordable alternative. Designed to support the most demanding media streams, the innovative engineering in NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology includes:
-- Four transmitters and four receivers built into each 3DHD Wireless
adapter for Multiple Input Multiple Output transmission (4x4 MIMO),
significantly increasing WiFi range and reliability.
-- Dynamic digital beam forming to steer and target WiFi signals towards
the receiver rather than broadcasting the signals in all directions,
boosting range.
-- Space Time Block Coding (STBC) to send multiple and redundant copies of
the same data across different paths, minimizing packet loss and
improving video reliability.
-- A feedback control loop that allows the transmitter to adjust its
activity based on responses from the receiver, for reliable video
streaming even in a changing or high-interference wireless environment.
The result is carrier-grade range and reliability, capable of sending multiple HD video streams across the home through multiple walls - such as the two simultaneous HD video streams required for 3DHD movies and broadcasts - with virtually no data loss. NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology is robust enough to provide a reliable wireless bridge in homes as large as 5,000 square feet.
"Video consumption in the home has increased at a phenomenal rate and is shifting to the Internet from conventional cable, over-the-air and satellite sources. Our customers are routinely viewing online video content, either stored locally or streaming to their high-definition televisions, and are also moving to broadband digital TV Services," said Som Pal Choudhury, NETGEAR director of product marketing for Core Networking Products. "We created 3DHD Wireless technology to keep home networks from becoming a bottleneck for such demanding streams, while eliminating the expense and effort of running Ethernet cables through walls, floors and ceilings. This makes 3DHD Wireless technology an ideal solution for consumers, professional home theater installers and broadband service providers."
Getting started with the plug-and-play NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless system is simple. One NETGEAR WNHD3004 adapter is connected to the home router or gateway via an Ethernet cable and serves as the transmitter. Other adapters then act as receivers, each providing connections for up to four Ethernet-enabled devices such as televisions, Blu-ray players, video game consoles, digital video recorders, broadband set-top boxes, digital media adapters and computers. The WNHD3004 adapter includes a visual indicator light showing the WiFi signal strength, making it easy to re-position the adapter for maximum reception.

Pricing and Availability
Backed by a one-year warranty and full 24/7 technical support, the NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless Home Theater Networking Kit (WNHDB3004) with two adapters has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $259 in the United States and will be available worldwide in mid-November, while additional individual adapters (WNHD3004) have a U.S. MSRP of $129.

NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology provides the world's highest-quality wireless bridge for whole-home high-definition video streaming
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and Internet service providers, today announced availability of its 3DHD Wireless Home Theater Networking Kit (WNHDB3004) with NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology, the first solution capable of reliably delivering jitter-free 1080p high-definition video streams throughout the home with no new wires.
The growing popularity of Internet-capable televisions and other home-theater equipment, including Blu-ray(TM) players, video game consoles and digital media adapters, often presents consumers with a big hurdle: The home router or gateway which provides an Internet connection is in one room of the house while the home theater system is in another - sometimes separated by several walls or even on different floors. Running Ethernet cables through the house is expensive and time-consuming.
NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology is the simple, fast and affordable alternative. Designed to support the most demanding media streams, the innovative engineering in NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology includes:
-- Four transmitters and four receivers built into each 3DHD Wireless
adapter for Multiple Input Multiple Output transmission (4x4 MIMO),
significantly increasing WiFi range and reliability.
-- Dynamic digital beam forming to steer and target WiFi signals towards
the receiver rather than broadcasting the signals in all directions,
boosting range.
-- Space Time Block Coding (STBC) to send multiple and redundant copies of
the same data across different paths, minimizing packet loss and
improving video reliability.
-- A feedback control loop that allows the transmitter to adjust its
activity based on responses from the receiver, for reliable video
streaming even in a changing or high-interference wireless environment.
The result is carrier-grade range and reliability, capable of sending multiple HD video streams across the home through multiple walls - such as the two simultaneous HD video streams required for 3DHD movies and broadcasts - with virtually no data loss. NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless technology is robust enough to provide a reliable wireless bridge in homes as large as 5,000 square feet.
"Video consumption in the home has increased at a phenomenal rate and is shifting to the Internet from conventional cable, over-the-air and satellite sources. Our customers are routinely viewing online video content, either stored locally or streaming to their high-definition televisions, and are also moving to broadband digital TV Services," said Som Pal Choudhury, NETGEAR director of product marketing for Core Networking Products. "We created 3DHD Wireless technology to keep home networks from becoming a bottleneck for such demanding streams, while eliminating the expense and effort of running Ethernet cables through walls, floors and ceilings. This makes 3DHD Wireless technology an ideal solution for consumers, professional home theater installers and broadband service providers."
Getting started with the plug-and-play NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless system is simple. One NETGEAR WNHD3004 adapter is connected to the home router or gateway via an Ethernet cable and serves as the transmitter. Other adapters then act as receivers, each providing connections for up to four Ethernet-enabled devices such as televisions, Blu-ray players, video game consoles, digital video recorders, broadband set-top boxes, digital media adapters and computers. The WNHD3004 adapter includes a visual indicator light showing the WiFi signal strength, making it easy to re-position the adapter for maximum reception.

Pricing and Availability
Backed by a one-year warranty and full 24/7 technical support, the NETGEAR 3DHD Wireless Home Theater Networking Kit (WNHDB3004) with two adapters has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $259 in the United States and will be available worldwide in mid-November, while additional individual adapters (WNHD3004) have a U.S. MSRP of $129.

NETGEAR ReadyNAS Business Products Achieve 'Certified for Windows Server 2008 R2' Logo
Certification Confirms Reliability in Microsoft Virtualization Projects
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc.(Nasdaq: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and Internet service providers, today announced that business-class ReadyNAS® products are fully compliant with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 requirements, including interoperability between ReadyNAS and Microsoft Hyper-V. The "Certified for Windows Server 2008 R2" logo means businesses of all sizes can now use NETGEAR and Microsoft virtualization solutions to increase application reliability, consolidate servers, and lower costs without compatibility or support concerns.
Microsoft has certified NETGEAR's ReadyNAS in the Windows Server Catalog after the product passed the comprehensive WinQual testing suite. Listing in the catalog specifically ensures compatibility between ReadyNAS network storage and Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V when using the iSCSI protocol.
"Smart IT departments demand reliable, affordable and simple solutions to support their businesses," said Drew Meyer, senior director of product marketing at NETGEAR. "NETGEAR is already a market leader in affordable mid-market network storage and switching, so we are excited to partner with Microsoft in building reliable, simple SAN solutions."
"The Microsoft virtualization business has seen tremendous growth in the last year, and mid-market customers are an important part of that growth," said Jim Schwartz, director of Virtualization Solutions at Microsoft. "We rely on affordable network storage and switching solutions from partners like NETGEAR for continued Hyper-V success in this segment."
NETGEAR ReadyNAS customer Aron Smetana, IT manager for Headlands Asset Management, used Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V with ReadyNAS 3200 to cut his rack space by 80 percent and consolidate more than 20 physical machines. "The embedded replication tool has provided disaster recovery for Headlands from a remote location in case of an emergency. This has proven to be an ideal solution given my budget and time constraints," said Smetana.
According to a September 2010 survey from Spiceworks, 68 percent of IT professionals plan to be using virtualization by the end of the year. "Medium-sized enterprises and the channel partners that serve them are jumping at the chance to make applications more reliable. The affordable combination of NETGEAR and Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V make a simpler solution than ever before," continued Meyer.
Pricing and Availability
All Windows Certified ReadyNAS products are listed online in the Windows Catalog (http://www.windowsservercatalog.com). The latest version of the ReadyNAS RAIDiator(TM) OS as well as more information on the entire ReadyNAS product line is available at http://www.readynas.com.

SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc.(Nasdaq: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and Internet service providers, today released four new additions to its ReadyNAS® Ultra family of home media servers. The new ReadyNAS Ultra Plus series delivers approximately 30% more performance over the ReadyNAS Ultra series, offering the world's best streaming media experience for music, movies, photos and files. In addition, the 2-bay model of the ReadyNAS Ultra family will soon be available worldwide.
The ReadyNAS Ultra Plus series transforms home media networks, delivering media content to local or remote handhelds, desktops and game consoles.

NETGEAR Extends Its Groundbreaking Category of Plus Switches

NETGEAR Extends Its Groundbreaking Category of Plus Switches
Four new models provide Gigabit Ethernet to keep pace with growing businesses, while continuing to deliver an unmatched set of network management features
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- NETGEAR®, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and Internet service providers, today announced four new models in its groundbreaking ProSafe® Plus Switch family. Designed for growing businesses with growing network needs, ProSafe Plus Switches provide built-in cable test support, QoS prioritization for voice & video traffic and VLAN configuration for network segmentation - all within 10% of the cost of an unmanaged switch.
The eight-port desktop GS108E, the 16-port desktop GS116E and the rack-mounted 24-port JGS524E all offer Gigabit Ethernet, ten times the speed of Fast Ethernet. The eight-port desktop GS108PE is the first in the ProSafe Plus Switch family to provide Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) for supporting devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, security cameras and remote switches without the need for separate electric lines.
Among the powerful features of ProSafe Plus Switches are:
-- Traffic monitoring and control through a non-technical graphically based
software utility.
-- Quality of Service (QoS) to prioritize traffic by port or by type of
data, so - for example - streaming video can be prevented from
interfering with crucial business tasks.
-- Detection of cable loops to prevent broadcast storms, eliminating the
need for network diagnostic tools that often cost hundreds of dollars.
-- Automatic protection against Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks.
-- Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) support for separating traffic, such
as offering a guest WiFi network that is walled off from the corporate
network.
-- Simple set-up, along with plug-and-play connectivity.
-- Fan-less design for quiet operation, allowing placement in open work
areas.
-- "NETGEAR Green" design, which reduces power consumption by as much as 70
percent in comparison to unmanaged switches, with auto power-down of
unused ports and automatic cable-length detection to reduce power for
cable runs under 10 meters.
"We know our customers demand 'smart IT' over 'big IT.' In other words, they want the performance and flexibility of enterprise-scale networking equipment in affordable packages that are easy to install and operate," said Maggie Wu, NETGEAR's product line manager for SMB Switching Products. "That was our goal in launching the ProSafe Plus Switch family a year ago, and now we're moving to the next level by responding to customer requests for Gigabit Ethernet, PoE and more ports."
"We use the NETGEAR Plus Switch in situations where cost-efficiency is essential and network requirements cannot be compromised," said Eric Gorman, co-founder, executive VP and COO of Integrated Enterprise Solutions, Inc., a value added reseller. "Having features like VLAN, rate limiting, and QoS in such an affordable package is a great benefit for me. Our customers appreciate the reliability and affordability of this solution and we appreciate the simplicity."
Pricing and Availability
With full 24/7 technical support that connects customers directly to experienced switching experts, NETGEAR ProSafe Plus Switches give businesses a powerful new tool to organize their networks. Now available worldwide from value-added resellers, leading direct marketers, and e-commerce sites, the GS108E has an estimated U.S. street price starting at $85 and the GS108PE with four PoE ports starts at $175. The GS116E starting at $196 and the JGS524E starting at $289 will be available at the end of November.

Bigpoint Corrals Casual Gamers With Ponyrama
HAMBURG, November 5, 2010/PRNewswire/ --
- Engaging Equestrian Experience Provides Endless Entertainment
- Ponyrama Follows Bigpoint's Breakout Casual Hits Farmerama and Zoomumba
Beginning next month, pony lovers' dreams come true with the launch of
Bigpoint's new browser game, Ponyrama (http://www.bigpoint.com/ponyrama).
Developed with an original and lighthearted art style, Ponyrama players set
out build the most prestigious and successful stable. Casual gaming fans can
customize and care for their own ponies, build-up their own stables, and
compete in traditional equestrian contests to become the best stable manager
on the Internet.
Your pony is only a click away
In Bigpoint's first two casual games, Farmerama and Zoomumba, players
create and look after their own farms and zoos. In Ponyrama, players are
challenged to build and manage their own stable of ponies. To begin the game,
players choose their very own pony from a wide selection and begin raising
it. They then expand their stables by adding stalls, paddocks, and dozens of
decorations.
Show off your stable through friendly competitions
Throughout the game, players can compete against other players in
friendly, western-style competitions, such as racing, jumping, and dressage.
But riders must be careful when competing for prizes as horses may become
tired or even injured. If needed, players can call the local veterinarian to
look after their pampered equines in their very own veterinary facilities.
Bigpoint's Ponyrama will be available online in early December 2010 and
is free to play in all browsers.

GBS/CIDP Foundation International, Sonic Foundry Event Services Partner to Create World's First Video Library for Early Diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
Foundation is taking a new approach to educating its constituents by launching hybrid event and creating a knowledge archive via Mediasite
MADISON, Wis., Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Armed with the latest information, physicians can diagnose patients with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) more easily and earlier, increasing the chances of successful recovery. Thanks to a partnership between Sonic Foundry, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOFO), the recognized market leader for rich media webcasting and knowledge management, and the GBS/CIDP Foundation International, the most recent developments and treatment options will be available with the click of a mouse, as Sonic Foundry Event Services webcasts the 11th International Symposium of the GBS/CIDP Foundation International. The event takes place November 5 - 7 in King of Prussia, PA.
The on-demand program will include seven general sessions and 14 workshops, offering an unprecedented level of practical information and teaching valuable skills to help providers, patients and caregivers better recognize, understand and treat the diseases. Attendees will learn about every phase of GBS and CIDP: from diagnosis, treatment and care to rehabilitation, coping skills, emotional issues and the latest in research. After the conference participants will benefit from the online library of sessions, including programs on early diagnosis for neurologists and physicians, which will be available to help train other ER personnel to diagnose these diseases.
"Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a rare neurological condition that only affects one in 100,000 people, and can follow vastly different courses. With onset of symptoms ranging from acute, life-threatening, to subtle and gradual, many patients find it difficult to know how to respond to changes or to anticipate what's coming next. Early diagnosis means early treatment. We're excited to partner with Sonic Foundry Event Services to provide a library of useful, crucial information for patients, caregivers and the medical profession," said Patricia A. Bryant, executive director of GBS/CIDP Foundation International.
"An increasing number of conferences, particularly in the medical, technical and scientific fields, recognize the importance of recording the information presented on-site and repurposing it for continuing education and professional development," said Justin Jaeck, vice president, Sonic Foundry Event Services. "We are excited to work with GBS/CIDP Foundation International to create this dynamic archive of information, allowing physicians to learn what they need to know to diagnose and treat patients quickly."

The Click Agency is perfectly positioned to utilize its skills and foresight in order to capitalize on this growth. The Click Agency has the team to sell, design and develop mobile phone apps in a fast and cost effective way. In fact, the clients are already knocking down the door to have us position them ahead of the race to the mobile app market.
But The Click Agency is not only about building mobile applications for clients. The agency has split their mobile development business into three streams; client commissioned application development; client/industry targeted mobile application development; and The Click Agency's internal mobile application projects.
The growth in The Click Agency's Mobile Application Development business is growing so rapidly that the company is now on the hunt for savvy and creative minds to join the team. The work is diverse, the pace is fast and the projects just keep flowing. "We're looking to hire over 100 developers in the next few months," said Mr. Gherghetta.
With the profits from client-commissioned mobile applications The Click Agency will develop its own exciting, and often experimental projects. The focus on this is creativity and innovation rather than commercial. Why? Because sometimes it's a privilege to be able to do things simply because they are interesting and exciting!

Zinfandel Advocates and Producers ZAP App is Live and FREE!

Zinfandel Advocates and Producers ZAP App is Live and FREE!
New App Makes the World of Zinfandel Wine and Producers Mobile - And describes, scores, and stores all varietal favorites in personal database
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The Association of Zinfandel Advocates (ZAP), a nonprofit dedicated to advancing public knowledge of and appreciation for American Zinfandel and its unique place in our culture and history, just unveiled its first version of the ZAP App. Zinfandel fans can now download the FREE ZAP App on iPhones, iPods and iPads.
The ZAP App cross-references ZAP's member wineries, educates tasters, helps them score wines, and organizes their favorites in a personal portable data base. Best of all, the app is user friendly at any varietal wine festival, allowing the user to keep a running data base of favorite wines year round.
In addition, the ZAP App is designed to work without 3G coverage, whether that's wine tasting in rural Sonoma County, or deep in a convention center. For travelers exploring the world of Zinfandel, the ZAP App can easily locate, call, email, or visit member websites and plan wine tour itineraries on the go. The app makes it easy to find out whether the vintner has a tasting room before roaming the back roads of Sonoma, saving time on the road between wineries.
Unique ZAP App features:
* The Zinfandel Aroma Wheel helps to identify and classify unique aromas while tasting. Simply rotate the wheel to locate the right one! From nutty to woody, fruity to spicy, the wheel helps describe the underlying elements contributing to the aroma in the wine.
* Wine Scoring helps create score cards for favorite wines while tasting, so one can easily keep track of a day's worth of tastings. Sort them by producer, designate, date, and score; and email the info to friends, business partners, or self.
The free ZAP App provides information about ZAP's Festival 2011 (January 27-29 in San Francisco) and the app will automatically upload real time information and updates regarding the producers represented at the festival, event schedules and special events. Having all this information at one's fingertips, carrying festival programs, score cards, and pencils will now be optional - it's all in the app! Beyond the ZAP festival, the functions of capturing favorite wines represented at any varietal festival make this app valuable to the wine lover all year long.
Whose brainchild is the ZAP App? As a nonprofit organization, ZAP relies heavily on its talented volunteer base. ZAP App was designed pro bono by Steven Spry of NuNu App using their EventApp(TM) Engine. Janett Peace, Special Projects Coordinator for ZAP spearheaded the design. Peace had used basic wine apps at other festivals and found them to be largely unhelpful to track wines. When she approached Spry with her idea, he agreed to donate his time to create this user-friendly, savvy event app that allows the user to experience multiple functions in a handy mobile application-to-go. "This is truly the wave of the future to make the most current, up-to-date event information available to participants on a mobile device," said Spry. "This is the next generation of event applications that have additional functionality and usefulness all year," said Peace. "We are truly excited to share this app with wine lovers everywhere."

JSTOR and Serials Solutions Partner to Enhance Discoverability of Resources
Institution-Specific Summon(TM) Search Boxes to be Piloted on JSTOR
SEATTLE, Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Serials Solutions, a business unit of ProQuest LLC, announced today a pilot project that will allow students and researchers at institutions subscribing to the Summon(TM) web-scale discovery service to automatically find their library's Summon(TM) service search box when they use JSTOR. In addition to the content available on JSTOR, users will be able to easily continue to search the breadth of their particular library's collection for additional materials, enabling faster, simpler research. The collaboration furthers the Summon(TM) service's mission to make library content easier to discover by researchers and students.
"Our partnership with JSTOR is one more example of how Serials Solutions is closing the loop on resource discovery," said Michael Gersch, senior vice president and general manager of Serials Solutions. "With the JSTOR integration we're enabling users with a powerful means to not only engage with the content on JSTOR, but to return to their home library resources."
With more than 1,300 scholarly journals and more than 1 million images, letters and other primary sources, JSTOR is one of the world's most trusted sources for academic content, serving nearly 7,000 institutions in 159 countries. With this pilot, JSTOR users from institutions subscribing to the Summon(TM) service will be recognized through IP authentication, prompting the appearance of their institutions' Summon(TM) search box on JSTOR. That will allow them to run a search across the other resources available at their institution's library, providing an uninterrupted and accelerated research process.
"More and more academic libraries are evaluating and implementing discovery services such as Summon," said Bruce Heterick, Vice President of Outreach & Participation Services for JSTOR. "While we continue to build JSTOR into a research platform aimed at the complete lifecycle of discovery and fulfillment, there is an opportunity to help libraries leverage the investments they are making in these systems, and reveal those discovery systems in a more significant way to their end-users. We feel this is an important step in supporting libraries as they pursue a more comprehensive set of solutions for exposing researchers to the myriad of incredible resources that the library offers."
The pilot will involve a small number of institutions and will run through June, 2011. The goal is to make the service available to all Summon subscribing libraries thereafter.

Chameleon Accessories Boutique Reveals a Fresh Online Shopping Interface for the Modern Day Fashion Lover
New web design and catered price ranges offer consumers a superior shopping experience at Chameleon Boutique
NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Chameleon Accessories Boutique, LLC, an online women's accessories boutique, is announcing the launch of an edgier, sexier online specialty store hosting the best trends of today and tomorrow. The fresh, refined look and user-friendly interface adorns and compliments every fashionista's style and online shopping experience.
Chameleon teamed with Mannix from 2nd Click, best known as the "scientists of e-Commerce," to create a modernized concept and design that redefined the online accessories boutique. Paired with Chameleon's owner, Sandra Paul, Mannix actively assisted in the programming, conversion, and marketing of the site. Their ideals center on aiding in the development of the company's vision, while driving more traffic to the "e-store." In other words, conforming visitors to consumers, or in Chameleon's case transforming everyday outfits to bold, eccentric ensembles with the click of a mouse and the purchase of an accessory.
All this hard work and excitement for the online boutique is paying off right before savvy shoppers' favorite holidays: Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Christmas. Chameleon Boutique will offer up to 65% off for Black Friday, and continuing the trend with even more savings on Cyber Monday offering up to 75% off regular priced merchandise.
The most distinctive and attractive aspect of shopping online at Chameleon Accessories Boutique is the selection of products within their well thought-out and catered price ranges . These categories are known as Fashionista, Glam, and Diva. "Fashionista" carries trendy fashion accessories at a lower price point. You will find great prices and a selection of handbags and trendy shoes by Steve Madden. Ladies that are more daring and more fashion focused will appreciate the "glam" section, carrying select premier boutique fashion accessories from upcoming designers such as Hype Sergio Zelcer, and Vieta. For those that enjoy upcoming designers, the "diva" section offers more expensive, luxury fashion accessories from popular brands such as Swarovski and Velvet Angels.
Entrepreneur, owner, and fashion diva, Sandra Paul, believes accessories such as jewelry, shoes, and bags are the most important factors of transforming and owning your look. "It's not always about chasing the trend but spending time creating your own," said Sandra.
