Leo Burnett Social Media Adventure - David on Demand - Takes Living Vicariously to Cannes

First-Ever Twitter-Driven Experiential Campaign Broadcasts Live 24 Hours a Day For Six Full Days

CHICAGO, June 21 -- How do you take the world to the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival without taking the world to the Cannes Lions Advertising Festival? Today, Leo Burnett Worldwide launched David on Demand, an experiential campaign that lets thousands of people experience the festival through the eyes and ears of Leo Burnett Worldwide creative recruiter David Perez. What's more is that beyond attending festival events, David's other experiences will be directed via his Twitter followers.

Simply put, from June 21 to June 26, people can Tweet David on the Twitter feed at http://www.davidondemand.com, and see him do it, live.

"It's been my dream to go to Cannes," said Perez. "It's going to be an incredible experience for me and for everyone else who is coming along for the ride. The people who visit and Tweet on the site have a great influence on my - our - experience at Cannes."

Sporting webcam glasses that record and broadcast his experiences live, a LiveU backpack with live streaming capabilities, crew and a PDA with his Twitter feed, David on Demand's adventures will be broadcast for the world to see and direct.

"Today's generation expects an instant response from everyone they communicate with," said Mark Tutssel, Global Chief Creative Officer, Leo Burnett Worldwide and President of the Film and Press Jury for The Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. "We have entered the Live Age, and it's touching every aspect of our craft. Doing things for real. David on Demand is an experiential idea that exemplifies what is possible in modern marketing. This age of live creativity is a more public, more spontaneous, more responsive one."

David on Demand will provide a behind-the-scenes look into the 57th Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival, often called the "Oscars" of advertising. As the most prestigious international annual advertising award festival, it celebrates and honors the art of communications, showcases more than 24,000 award entries, and holds seven days of exhibitions, screenings and high-profile seminars. Key speakers include innovative thinkers from Procter & Gamble, Yahoo!, The Coca-Cola Company, Kraft Foods, Microsoft Advertising, Facebook, YouTube and special appearances from Spike Jonze and Ben Stiller.

Through David on Demand, people will have exclusive access to the entire Cannes experience - both day and night. David on Demand followers will have access to top-notch seminars, anticipated award shows, and best-in-class creative masterminds and brands.

The brainchild of Leo Burnett's Energy Pool and Arc Worldwide, David on Demand is deeply rooted in the company's mantra that creativity has the power to transform human behavior.

"David on Demand takes blogging to the next level. We continue to find, through technology, ways to build communities around ideas and events. Hopefully, David on Demand will provide a new way for more people to experience Cannes," said Susan Credle, Chief Creative Officer, Leo Burnett USA. "The amount of access David on Demand will have to Cannes events is unprecedented. And for Leo, it is a wonderful opportunity to continue to understand how people engage with real-time social media."

David on Demand is an experiential campaign fueled by a combination of cutting edge technologies and production specialists. With an expertise in producing interactive live action projects, Leo Burnett worked with Tool of North America and director Jason Zada as creative and production partners. As part of the production team, Tool brought in key partners Justin.tv and LiveU to help deliver on this unique project.

New PinPoint Lightning App Promotes Outdoor Safety with First Geo-Located Lightning Alerts for iPhone

Non-profit Contribution During Lightning Safety Week, June 21-27. App Empowers People to Make Informed Decisions in Dangerous Weather Situations

MADISON, Wis., June 21 -- Coinciding with this year's Lightning Safety week, June 21-June 27, Weather Central's MyWeather.com division launches 2010 PinPoint Lightning(TM), the only iPhone application with live lightning strike data and alert notifications.  2010 PinPoint Lightning(TM) is the first app to register cloud-to-ground lightning strikes within 30 miles of a user's geo-located position and deliver rapid alerts enabling people to take immediate action to ensure their safety.

  (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100210/NY53169LOGO )
  (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100210/NY53169LOGO )

From June 21-July 5, 2010; MyWeather.com is donating 10% of PinPoint Lightning's net sales to the Lightning Protection Institute, a non-profit lightning safety organization.  The app is available via the iTunes store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/2010-pinpoint-lightning/id375144229?mt=8#.

Pinpoint Lightning uses patent-pending technology to identify a lightning strike's location by latitude and longitude, and then determine the nearest street intersection.  The app sends alerts -- displaying the time of lightning strikes and their distance from the user's current location.  Immediately following these alerts the user sees a street level view of the most recent strike and a display with specific information; for example, "Lightning Strike, 1200 Main Street, 2 miles NW from Your Location at 2:06 PM."

In addition to geo-located notifications, the app is equipped with animated local and national radar displays as well as various terrain options. With the ability to save up to 10 locations, this application helps individuals make informed decisions about lightning dangers not only for themselves, but for loved ones as well. (Note: The App is operational in the Continental U.S. and Canada only and where a data connection is available.)

"Nearly 25 million cloud-to-ground lightning strikes occur each year and it takes just one to change someone's life in an instant," stated Terry Kelly, Weather Central Chairman and CEO.  "Weather Central is proud to be on the cutting edge of safety with the very first geo-located lightning application.  Whether you're a parent, teacher, construction worker, coach, manager, pilot, golfer or grandparent, PinPoint Lightning will help you to make informed decisions during dangerous weather situations."

Lightning is the most deadly weather event on the planet, surpassing both tornadoes and hurricanes in yearly death toll averages for the past 30 years.* During the first half of 2010, lightning has killed seven individuals and injured 69 others.**  With severe weather season underway, it's more important than ever to protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of lightning.

Trend Micro Launches a Hybrid SaaS Email Security Solution Uniting In-The-Cloud Protection With On-Premise VMware® Ready Virtual Appliance

CUPERTINO, Calif., June 21 -- Trend Micro announced today the latest major version of InterScan(TM) Messaging Security Virtual Appliance (IMSVA), newly built as a  unique hybrid SaaS email security solution that integrates in-the-cloud protection and SaaS security services with an on-premise virtual appliance so email threats are stopped closest to their source without compromising email privacy while achieving significant management overhead, network bandwidth and data-center consolidation cost savings.

  (Photo:  http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20100621/NY23230)

"With 90 percent of all email being spam, it's no wonder companies are struggling to keep up with the increasing volume of emails overloading their networks," said Steve Quane, Chief Product Officer, Trend Micro. "Our next-generation IMSVA unifies the 'best of both worlds': As one part SaaS offering, it does all the heavy lifting of blocking spam outside of the enterprise's network and reducing email volumes up to 90 percent so that less bandwidth, servers and staff are required; as another part on-premise VMware Ready virtual appliance, it allows companies to customize to best meet their enterprise needs while retaining control and privacy over their emails, especially protecting sensitive data from leaving the network."

IMSVA 8.0 is built as a hybrid offering to optimize the benefits of cloud security and virtual appliances, integrated into one solution. It builds upon Trend Micro's extensive investment and expertise in SaaS and hosted security, as well as the company's leadership status within reputation technologies. Since 2005, Trend Micro been  pioneering IP-filtering and IP-reputation technologies.

This hybrid SaaS email security provides up-to-the-minute security powered by the Trend Micro(TM) Smart Protection Network infrastructure that scans, filters and correlates more than 20 billion emails, Web sites and files every day, and then leverages that data to rapidly identify and respond to emerging threats, and improve the existing response to known threats.

  What's NEW?
  --  Purpose-built as a hybrid, combining inbound in-the-cloud protection
      (so email threats are stopped before they hit the network) with
      on-premise VMware Ready virtual appliance to allow outbound granular
      content control and customization, and integrated with a unified
      single management/reporting console.
  --  Purpose-built to reduce up to 90 percent of email traffic in the cloud
      so that spam is eliminated before they reach the network. Customers
      get maximum, real-time protection against email threats without the
      burden of scanning a high volume of emails on their systems. No email
      is stored in the Trend Micro cloud and all quarantines are held
      locally, enabling customers to maintain control and privacy over their
      emails.
  --  Newly added Web Reputation technology scans URLs embedded in emails to
      determine if a link will lead to a malicious Web site that hides
      malware. Web reputation, a component of the Smart Protection Network,
      tracks the credibility of Web domains by examining factors such as a
      Web site's age, historical location changes, and indication of
      suspicious activities discovered through malware behavior analysis.

  Supporting quotes

"We chose Trend Micro's messaging security solutions for their simplicity and efficiency. But with such a tremendous growth in spam, we've been considering a hosted email security solution to put on top of what we currently have," said Michael Draeger, Field Support, IT, Silgan Containers, Inc. "This is why we're intrigued by Trend Micro's new and innovative hybrid SaaS email security - the ability to deploy an integrated hybrid solution from one vendor would definitely save us IT administrative time, help us reduce costs and keep spam off our networks."

"According to Osterman Research, enterprises can save between 55 to 70 percent by moving from a homebrewed to an integrated hybrid email security solution," said Michael Osterman, president and founder of Osterman Research. "In addition, those organizations that have yet to move to hosted/hybrid solution can save 30 to 40 percent by moving from a traditional on-premises hardware appliance to an integrated hybrid solution from Trend Micro".

"Partnering with Trend Micro, a company synonymous with technology excellence and innovation, helps us provide a one-stop shop for business IT solutions," said Dave Ladley, president of Communications Finance, Inc. "We believe Trend Micro's latest hybrid SaaS email security solution will provide our customers with an even better, more effective way of protecting their email networks. This exciting new solution brings together the benefits of hosted email with virtual appliance for efficient email security."

"The single most significant finding of the [Infonetics] survey was simply this: nearly half of respondents, a random sample of large e-mail environments, had pulled together a "do-it-yourself" hybrid on-premise/hosted solution," said Jeff Wilson, principal analyst, network security, Infonetics Research. "So far, Trend Micro is the only security company that offers this kind of hybrid integration designed to reduce the bulk of unwanted email, while at the same time retaining customization capabilities, control and privacy all in one product."

the priorities that FASTWEB have always given to innovation and customer
care," says Giorgio Tacchia, Head of TV in FASTWEB. "Using this new
technology we can provide advertisers with effective means for communication
of their brands and their products, without interrupting the viewing of
content, thus ensuring a unique experience to our viewers."

    "Fastweb is an innovation leader in the IPTV world. We are
delighted to work with Fastweb and are confident that the new embedAd service
will prove beneficiary to them and to their customers," added Yariv Erel, Co
Founder and CEO of justAd.TV. "We are pleased to have partnered with WebAds,
a clear market leader and innovator in the European New Media domain, and
confident that their expertise will lead to strong success of the embedAd
formats in the Italian market."

providers (Cable, IPTV & Satellite) to harness the power of Internet
advertising by applying it to non-linear TV experiences. Focused on
delivering easily-deployable solutions, its patent-pending technology fits

ROI.

Ozmo Devices Announces Revolutionary Solution Powering World's First Wi-Fi Mouse and Keyboard

Second Generation Silicon Fully Compatible with All Windows 7-Based Notebooks

PALO ALTO, Calif., June 21 -- Ozmo Devices, the leading provider of low-power Wi-Fi Personal Area Network (Wi-Fi PAN) solutions, announced today that it started sampling its OZMO2000 chip to select peripheral manufacturers.  This is the first Wi-Fi solution to overcome the battery life, cost and compatibility issues that have limited the broad adoption of Wi-Fi for HID (human interface device) applications.  The OZMO2000 is currently available for use in Wi-Fi mouse, keyboard and remote control designs.  Furthermore, the solution is compatible with all Wi-Fi-enabled notebooks and desktops that are compatible with Windows 7.

The OZMO2000 solution is the first to take advantage of Windows 7 SoftAP (Software-based Access Point) functionality to attach peripherals to personal computers.  SoftAP is built into every version of Windows 7 and allows Wi-Fi devices to connect directly to notebooks without the need for an access point.

"Windows 7 SoftAP functionality is a logo requirement for all Wi-Fi products under Windows 7," said Billy Anders, group program manager for Windows Networking at Microsoft Corp. "Given the nearly 100 percent attach rate of Wi-Fi in notebooks, Ozmo's innovative solution adds new, low-power peripherals to any Windows 7-based notebook without increasing the platform cost. We are excited to see developers like Ozmo take advantage of this innovative Windows 7 feature to improve the customer experience."

The wireless mouse market is a key target for the OZMO2000 and Primax Electronics, a leading Taiwan-based mouse manufacturer, is the first ODM to offer their mouse designs with the OZMO2000. "We are excited to partner with Ozmo and be at the leading edge of bringing Wi-Fi peripherals to market," commented Jackie Shih, R&D Director, Primax Electronics.

Furthermore, Ozmo has partnered with NMB Technologies Corporation, one of the largest keyboard manufacturers in the world.  "The use of Wi-Fi for peripheral connectivity dramatically expands the opportunity for wireless peripherals", said Gerry Fay, President, NMB Technologies Corporation.  "Our partnership with Ozmo allows us to deliver new and exciting keyboard designs to our customers based on Ozmo's state-of-the-art technology."

  OZMO2000 - Features and Functionality:
  --  No Dongle: The OZMO2000 connects seamlessly with the Wi-Fi chip in the
      notebook.  Unlike proprietary 2.4GHz solutions, no dongle is occupying
      a USB port.
  --  Battery Life: The advanced power management features provide a
      solution battery life that is two to three times longer than legacy
      wireless solutions like Bluetooth®.
  --  Low Cost: as a System-on-a-Chip (SoC), the OZMO2000 only requires a
      few external components which results in a cost-effective solution
      compared to Bluetooth and proprietary 2.4GHz technology.
  --  Highly Scalable: the OZMO2000 supports up to 24Mbps data rates with
      very low power consumption.  This provides an ideal solution for low
      data rate applications like mouse and keyboard, as well as for
      advanced designs with higher data rate requirements like touch
      features or integrated video and audio.

  Wi-Fi Direct Certification

The OZMO2000 is compatible with Windows 7 SoftAP as well as Intel's MyWi-Fi Technology.  Furthermore, the OZMO2000 is designed to be compatible with the upcoming Wi-Fi Direct standard.  The Wi-Fi Alliance plans this new certification program to be available later in the year.

Availability: Samples are available now to qualified customers. Production volumes will be available in the fourth quarter.

  Pricing: the OZMO2000 is priced at US$3.00 in 10,000 unit quantity.

The new Alli Sports web site will reflect the cutting-edge for the hundreds of thousands of users who access it each month, with robust support for managing and leveraging rich text, audio and video files.

As is the balancing act of building a scalable, multi-faceted system, we didn't want to sacrifice the richness of our offering for speed and efficiency," said Terence Hegarty, the Director of Technology for AlliSports.com. "After the review of numerous 3rd party solutions and specialized agencies we found OmniTI to have unmatched experience and know-how in developing custom publishing systems that scale."

"It is increasingly critical for businesses to maintain regular contact and engagement with their customers. As the way people communicate and consume information changes, a company's online presence becomes more important than ever before," said, Theo Schlossnagle, CEO of OmniTI. "The work we did with Alli Sports highlights our ability to work collaboratively to deliver large-scale solutions specifically tailored to allow for high-volume web site traffic and instant, targeted content distributed to their fans."

CHICAGO, June 21 -- NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of maps, traffic and location data enabling navigation, location-based services and mobile advertising around the world, has teamed up with Liverpool, a leading, high-end department store in Mexico, to introduce GPS Zones in nine retail stores located in Mexico City and Cuernavaca.

GPS Zones are interactive kiosks that help educate consumers on the benefits of navigation using educational tools like collateral and videos while providing consumers with the opportunity to interact with and test out the latest, premium brand Portable Navigation Devices (PNDs), like Garmin, Mio and Motorola, which incorporate the NAVTEQ® map for Mexico. Consumers can begin testing out eight different devices via the GPS Zones at their local Liverpool stores now.

"As the first comprehensive, navigable map supplier to PNDs in Mexico, we are pleased to work with retailers like Liverpool that are committed to showing consumers the benefits of navigation in their everyday lives," stated Jim Dineen, director and general manager--Mexico, NAVTEQ. "We believe that the GPS Zones will provide Liverpool's customer base with the opportunity to effectively educate themselves in order to purchase a PND that truly fits their lifestyle."

The PNDs featured on the Liverpool GPS Zones are all powered by the NAVTEQ® map of Mexico that includes 487,000 km roads and covers the entire population. Unique to NAVTEQ, forty-nine percent of that population is covered at NAVTEQ's highest quality levels: road network attribute verification on all highways, major roads and arterial streets.

In addition to road network coverage, the Mexico map contains a full set of features including approximately 90,000 Points of Interest (POIs) in 55 categories such as restaurants, hotels, gas stations and banks to provide users with the ability to select their destination by either the POI listing or address. NAVTEQ geographic analysts located throughout Mexico use local knowledge and local contacts to collect and verify details of the roads. They drive thousands of kilometers each year and have local knowledge of road network changes helping to make NAVTEQ maps the freshest and most up-to-date.

AT&T Enhances Mobile Broadband Coverage Inside Valley View Mall

New Distributed Antenna System Provides Additional Capacity to Help Enhance Wireless Experience for Roanoke Customers

ROANOKE, Va., June 21 -- As part of its continuing network investment to support growing demand for advanced mobile devices and applications, AT&T* today announced the activation of a new antenna system in the Valley View Mall that will help to enhance wireless service.

Known as a Distributed Antenna System, or DAS, the installation consists of several strategically placed antennas that distribute AT&T's wireless network coverage throughout the mall providing for more efficient management of wireless capacity in heavily trafficked areas. The additional capacity will help to improve call reliability, increase download speeds and enable more consistent network access to help customers make the most of their AT&T devices.

"Our goal is pretty simple: we want you to have an extraordinary experience when you make a call, check e-mail, download a song or video, or surf the Internet on your AT&T device," said Erika K. Thompson-Kemp, vice president and general manager for AT&T in Virginia and West Virginia. "Sometimes that means using creative solutions to enhance coverage in key locations."

Wireless data traffic on the AT&T network has grown more than 5,000 percent over the past three years, largely attributed to the increasing popularity of advanced smartphones and the performance of AT&T's 3G network, the nation's fastest.

AT&T recently completed a software upgrade at 3G cell sites nationwide that prepares the nation's fastest 3G network for even faster speeds. The deployment of High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) 7.2 technology is the first of multiple initiatives in AT&T's network enhancement strategy designed to provide customers with an enhanced mobile broadband experience, both today and in the future. Faster 3G speeds will become available this year and in 2011 on a market by market basis as AT&T combines the new technology with high-speed backhaul connections to cell sites, primarily with fiber-optic technology.

AT&T's 3G mobile broadband network is based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) family of technologies that includes GSM and UMTS, the most widely used wireless network platforms in the world. AT&T has the best international coverage of any U.S. wireless provider, delivering voice service in over 220 countries and data service in more than 190 countries. AT&T also offers voice and data roaming coverage on 130 major cruise ships, as well as 3G services in 115 countries.

For more information about AT&T's 3G coverage in Virginia or anywhere in the United States, consumers can visit http://www.wireless.att.com/coverageviewer. The online tool can measure the quality of coverage based on a street address, intersection, ZIP code or even a landmark.

Revamp of Jewellery Business Portal JewelleryNetAsia to Boost Buyer-Seller Interaction

HONG KONG, June 21 -- Today UBM Asia announced the launch of a revamped version of the internet portal JewelleryNetAsia (http://www.jewellerynetasia.com/ ). The new version includes enhancements in contents, search and browsing features as well as a modernized look and feel.

  (Logo: http://www.prnasia.com/sa/2010/06/15/20100615135013.jpg )

"The revamp aims to increase online trade interaction between Jewellery professionals. We concentrate on continuously improving the core features: buyers can browse virtual showrooms of suppliers or search for specific products and get down to business efficiently. Also, we provide more editorial contents with news, insights and reports from our media partner Jewellery News Asia," says Jerome Hainz, Manager of eBusiness at UBM Asia.

"This is just the first step: The ultimate goal is to transform JewelleryNetAsia into a site that responds to the demand for an online community for the jewellery industry -- more interactive features such as blogs, discussion boards, videos and webinars will follow soon. In September we will launch JOC, the first Jewellery Online Conference," adds Hainz.

JewelleryNetAsia serves as platform for buyers and suppliers to trade products and services across the supply chain -- from materials such as loose diamonds, gemstones and pearls to finished fine jewellery and watches. Established in 2006 the portal features over 2,800 suppliers operating showrooms and close to 50,000 trade buyers who visit the site regularly.

With the onset of the site revamp, jewellery professionals can expect a better browsing experience: the site design, easier navigation and improved search functions provide fast and simple ways to enquire about products and companies.

As the official online media partner to leading trade fairs in Asia, JewelleryNetAsia publishes interactive Exhibitor Lists and helps members promote their presence at specific shows, for instance the June Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair (http://www.jewellerynetasia.com/en/exhibition/6JG2010.html ). Exhibitor Lists help to match businesses not only ahead of the events -- visitors can access them onsite at the Product Locator Kiosks to generate and print individualized show guides.

Motorola Expands Wireless LAN Portfolio With Innovative 802.11n WallPlate Access Point

Compact AP design installs in minutes and enables superior multi-room coverage

ORLANDO, Fla., June 21 -- HITEC 2010 (Booth #961) -- The Enterprise Mobility Solutions business of Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT) today announced the AP 6511 802.11n WallPlate access point (AP) designed to quickly extend 802.11n wireless LAN (WLAN) services to multi-room facilities, such as hotels or hospitals. Leveraging existing infrastructure, the AP 6511 can be installed in a matter of minutes, right in the guestroom, without the time and costs associated with deploying traditional APs. Roughly the size of a deck of cards, the AP 6511 is designed to "hide-in-sight" - matching the decor of any room while providing users a superior guest experience with high-speed mobile access for bandwidth-demanding voice, video and data applications.

Motorola's AP 6511 uses in-wall CAT5/6 cabling, so Wi-Fi coverage can be extended without the need to pull cables or drill holes, greatly reducing time, planning and labor costs required to provide ubiquitous wireless access. A field-installable snap-on Ethernet module adds three switched fast Ethernet ports for converged guestroom IP services, such as IPTV or secure wired access. Each AP can service up to 10 rooms and leverage Motorola's Smart RF technology to automatically tune power and channels, ensuring guests obtain maximum performance and the highest quality of service (QoS).

"Motorola created an innovative solution to help hotels provide guests with what they want - a quality 'at-home' experience," said Orlando Philips, chief operating officer, Guest-Tek. "At Guest-Tek, we have seen that IP network convergence is the most cost-effective way to bring new applications, services and direct benefit to hotel guests; from interactive, high definition IPTV, free-to-guest TV and digital video-on-demand (VOD) to secure high-speed Internet and voice-over-IP telephony. The new AP 6511 is an important component to deliver this next generation hotel network. This is significant for us because customers in the hospitality industry look to Guest-Tek to help keep them ahead of trends and make the in-room guest experience the highest level."

The AP 6511 has multiple management and service options. In smaller facilities, up to 25 WallPlates can be deployed without an external controller by using the Controller AP feature resident on the AP 6511. For larger facilities, the AP 6511 can be locally or remotely managed by Motorola's family of RFS wireless controllers, allowing immense scalability. The solution also enables IT operations to create a single, seamless WLAN by leveraging Motorola's broad portfolio of wireless network solutions.

"High quality wireless voice, video and data services are becoming an expected part of the guest experience, but many travelers still face challenges when accessing these services from rooms, conference spaces or outdoor facilities," said Daran Hermans, product manager, Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions. "Motorola's innovative 802.11n WallPlate, along with its broad enterprise-class WLAN portfolio, voice-over-WLAN smartphones and ruggedized mobile computers, allow hotel operators to realize productivity enhancements and provide an extraordinary guest experience inside and outside the four walls."

Motorola's 802.11n WallPlate AP is powered by the Wireless Next Generation (Wi-NG) operating system, already field-proven in thousands of enterprise and government WLAN deployments across the globe. This enables integration of the AP into an adaptive, controller-based network for higher scalability, centralized management and advanced wireless services. Managed by Motorola's RFS7000, RFS6000 or RFS4000 wireless controllers and the AirDefense Services Platform (ADSP), the innovative WallPlate APs can scale to meet the connectivity needs of any multi-room facility. As the number of guestrooms scale upward, the AP 6511 can be deployed together with Motorola's dual-radio AP 650 or tri-radio AP 7131 APs to provide high-performance 802.11n access with integrated full-time wireless security sensing, from guest rooms to conference resources to outdoor pool and recreational facilities. Customers operating large resorts with wide area coverage needs can also deploy Motorola's AP 7181 outdoor 802.11n mesh wide area network (MWAN) APs for seamless indoor and outdoor coverage across the entire property.

The feature-rich Motorola wireless switches, enterprise-class APs and purpose-built guest room WLAN equipment provide a seamless wireless network that can support even the most bandwidth-demanding wireless services and applications. And, the Motorola ADSP delivers holistic network management, advanced troubleshooting and network assurance services to support high QoS for superior guest experience and back-of-house workforce enablement.

The AP 6511 will be available worldwide through Motorola channel partners and Motorola sales in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Visit Motorola booth #961 at the HITEC 2010 conference on June 21-23 in Orlando, Fla. to learn more about the AP 6511 and the latest enterprise mobility solutions for the hospitality industry.

Iomega Shows Some Skin With Exciting New Portable Hard Drives

Three Hip, Unique Designs for Expressing Your Own Style And Storing All Your Videos, Photos and Music Make Colorful New Drives More than Just Your Parents Portable Storage

SAN DIEGO, June 21 -- Iomega, an EMC company (NYSE:EMC) and a global leader in data protection, today announced the launch of the exciting new line of Iomega® Skin(TM) branded Hard Drives, three different 500GB* portable hard drives that pop with unique designs and colors that scream, "Who says portable storage has to be boring?"

To view the multimedia version of this release, visit: http://www.iomega.com/about/prreleases/2010/062110_skin.html

In conjunction with the popular Skin Industries, one of the leading alternative "Sports Fashion" brands in America today, Iomega's new Skin Hard Drives feature three compact personal storage models with custom Skin-branded graphics that stand out in a burst of hip culture compared to anything else in the hard drive market today.

"The new Iomega Skin Drives exude an alternative personality with eye-catching Skin Industries graphics that demand the attention of anyone who doesn't accept the status quo, who zigs when others zag, especially when it comes to the look and design of their digital devices," said Jonathan Huberman, President of Iomega and the Consumer and Small Business Products Division of EMC.  "Iomega's new Skin Drives deliver that kind of excitement in a lightweight, compact design with the quality features people expect from Iomega, including industry-leading ruggedness to protect your data and a top-tier software suite bundled free of charge with every Skin Hard Drive.  That's an unbeatable personal storage combination for tech-savvy students and young professionals alike."

Iomega Skin Hard Drives

There are three different models in the new Iomega Skin Hard Drive line.  All three models are USB 2.0-powered 500GB portable hard drives.

The "Radical" Skin Hard Drive model has a retro Skin-branded printed logo design on a black top with a vibrant yellow base, creating a look that stands apart from any other portable hard drive.

The "Red Hot" Skin Hard Drive model features a "Skin" Swipe logo printing on a red top with a black base, creating a definition of hip and hot for today's young iconoclastic computer user.

The "Knock Out" Skin Hard Drive model has a dark, mysterious aura with a "Skin" Gothic logo design on a silver top with a black base.  One look at this portable hard drive beauty and envious friends and co-workers could be down for the count.

Al Borda, CEO of Skin Industries, said, "We continue to build on the lifestyle tradition of Skin Industries. As the CEO, I like to think ahead and focus on the future in everything we do for the company.  With the release of the exciting new Skin hard drives and joining with Iomega, this is another step forward for Skin to become more than just a clothing company."

The new Iomega Skin Hard Drives will be featured in a July window display at J&R Music and Computer World's flagship store on Park Row in New York City.

"Young people today are looking for something different in everything they buy and use," said Rachelle Friedman, President and Co-CEO, J&R Music and Computer World, downtown New York City.  "At J&R, we're always looking for unique and exciting products for our customers.  Iomega's new Skin portable hard drives not only have personality and style compared to other hard drives in the market today, they also deliver on the functionality that's required of a quality portable hard drive - plenty of space for music, photos and videos, as well as rugged, dependable and easy-to-use.  Put it all together and the new Iomega Skin Drives are a great new addition to J&R's computer peripheral offerings."

Self-Powered Drives with Plenty of Room for Lots of Multimedia Files

All three of the new Skin Hard Drives are perfect for slipping into a laptop bag or pocket to take anywhere your laptop goes.  Best of all, the USB interface on the Skin Hard Drives require no external power supply.  Just connect the included USB 2.0 cable to your Skin Hard Drive and your laptop, netbook or desktop and you are ready to store and share photos, music, videos and more.

To appreciate how much data can be stored on a new 500GB Iomega Skin Hard Drive, users have enough capacity to hold up to 200,000 photos, over 125,000 songs or more than 190 hours of video**.

As Rugged as You Wanna Be!

All three of the new Skin Hard Drives feature Iomega's standard Drop Guard(TM) protection, which helps guard the drive from accidental drops of up to 51 inches on to industrial carpet - or 40% better than the industry average.

Iomega Protection Suite Software Included Free With New Skin Drives

Included free of charge with all three of Iomega's new Skin Hard Drives is the Iomega Protection Suite, a one-stop portfolio of backup and anti-virus software giving users added protection for their photos, videos, music and other files.

Qewz.com's New Website Offers One-Stop Opinion Shopping

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21 -- Qewz, Inc. is launching http://www.qewz.com, a new website that uses a combination of technology and the human touch to highlight varying perspectives on the leading stories of the day.

Qewz draws from reputable, proven news sources and opinion columns - as well as thought-provoking blogs and other new forms of media.

Left, Right, Green, Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, corporate America, middle America, far from America, ordinary Joe and offbeat: Qewz showcases them all. Beyond politics, Qewz covers arts, sports, culture and any major issue that arises. What it doesn't do is pass judgment. Qewz is strictly non-partisan. It doesn't filter out provocative or uncomfortable views on the news for consumers.

As President Obama remarked in a recent speech: "If you're someone who only reads the editorial page of The New York Times, try glancing at the page of The Wall Street Journal once in awhile. If you're a fan of Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh, try reading a few columns on the Huffington Post website. It may make your blood boil; your mind may not often be changed. But the practice of listening to opposing views is essential for effective citizenship."

Qewz does that for consumers--and benefits news organizations and independent writers at the same time. Qewz does not steal stories; it uses compelling snippets to catch consumers' attention and then sends them back to the original source.

Founder and CEO Rod Cuthbert has a long history as an Internet entrepreneur (http://www.viator.com, a leading travel site) with an interest in world events. The idea for Qewz struck him during his own travels, as he realized that the commentaries he read in one city or country often contrasted with those of the next. The self-selection made possible by the Internet only convinced him of the importance of providing consumers with one-stop, all-inclusive commentary.

"Qewz might be a place where in the end people have their opinions reinforced, but in the process they will also have those opinions challenged," Cuthbert said. "Knowing what the other side thinks makes for a better debate and a better outcome. Qewz is a carefully curated system that provides everyone - from people who are just interested in the news to political activists -- with the tools to do that."

For more information or to schedule interviews with Rod, please contact Liz Moody at liz.moody@qewz.com.

Elsevier Pilots PeerChoice in Chemical Physics Letters

AMSTERDAM, June 21, 2010--

    - Reviewers Choose Articles in Innovative Peer Review Pilot

    Elsevier announced the launch of PeerChoice, a new pilot peer review
program for Chemical Physics Letters where reviewers now have the freedom to
choose which articles they would like to review. By choosing articles
matching their expertise and interest, efficiency and effectiveness of the
peer review process will be increased. The PeerChoice pilot will initially
run for three months, starting in June.

    PeerChoice reverses the traditional model in which the Editor selects
articles for a reviewer to review. Using high-end software, the reviewer will
be able to select the article that matches his academic competency and
current interest, while committing to a timely review. This will
significantly increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the review
process. Current checks and balances in the peer review process remain in
place to ensure the usual high quality of the process.

    "We aim to support the research community in the fundamentally important
task of peer review in scientific publication," remarked Martin Tanke,
Managing Director of Elsevier's Science and Technology Journals. "That's why
we're continuously looking for new, innovative ways to enhance the peer
review process. By developing new technologies, but also by listening to the
needs of our reviewers and authors - the 2009 Peer Review Survey, which we
conducted with our partner Sense About Science, showed that a significant
number of reviewers were sometimes hesitant to review an article because of a
lack of expertise in that particular field. In addition, researchers made
clear they want to improve peer review by improving article relevancy and
speeding up turnaround time. PeerChoice can contribute to solving both
issues."

    Professor David Clary, Editor of Chemical Physics Letters, said, "The
community of authors, reviewers and editors for Chemical Physics Letters is a
dynamic and engaged one, and as such, the perfect environment to experiment
with a new empowerment model in which reviewers can choose to review online
the articles most interesting and relevant for them."

Scotts Launches Summer With My Scotts Lawn iPhone App

MARYSVILLE, Ohio, June 21 -- Summer officially arrived this morning, and with the lawn care season in full swing, The Scotts Company launched the My Scotts Lawn mobile app available for free in the Apple App Store.

"The mobile channel has arrived. However, the key is to not just engage with customers, but provide value," said Chris Cunningham, co-founder and CEO of appssavvy.  "That's exactly how the My Scotts Lawn app was developed.  What better way to nurture and grow the best lawn on the block then right there on your mobile device."

FRANCE-IX: The Ultimate Internet Exchange Point in Paris

PARIS, June 21, 2010--     Until now, Paris was a divided peering place. France-IX
intends to solve this issue by developing an infrastructure of its own and
gathering the existing Parisian IXPs so it attracts both national and
international exchanges.

    A strong and neutral association model

    France-IX organisation relies on a non-profit association.
This is based on the model of the 3 major IXPs in Europe, which have already
proved their efficiency. Oddly, it has never been implemented in France
before.

    However, it has the main advantage of including the members in
the strategy, through their votes during general meetings. This ensures that
France-IX responds more precisely to the needs of its members. Moreover, the
margins are constantly reinvested into the project, which guarantees that
France-IX provides high-quality and advanced services.

    Services following the market trends

    France-IX offers a complete range of services, including
unicast and multicast IPv4 and IPv6, route servers to facilitate peering,
closed user groups VLANs. France-IX develops its architecture to be able to
provide solutions to triple/quadruple players. Any entity with an AS number
can connect to France-IX.

    France-IX has a large footprint covering 6 different points of
presence located in Interxion, Telehouse and Telecitygroup data centers.
Other POPs are to be deployed by the end of 2010 which will reinforce again
the neutrality of the organisation and raise the traffic level.

    A French IXP going international

    In addition to setting a strong IXP in Paris, France-IX's goal
consists of creating partnerships with IXPs in France and abroad, too. Such
partnerships will be announced in time.

    Thanks to the submarine cables connecting Africa, Middle-East
and India to Marseille (SEACOM, EASSY, SMW 3/4/5), France-IX expects to
attract the growing traffic from the operators based in these areas.

    France-IX starts a pilot phase of 2 months (June until the end
of July) during which the members can peer without being charged any costs.

Sekimia's "Mindset": Embrace the Thinking of the Board and of Your Senior Management

BEIRUT, Lebanon, June 20, 2010--     Sekimia enhanced its demonstration capabilities by introducing
its "Mindset" framework. As portrayed, the "Mindset" section is the "Grammar"
pertaining to the "Language" Sekimia's mantra is advocating. The Mindset is
part of the ongoing v2 software development and focuses on various visual
representations of Business Security needs and IT Security impacts.

    Sekimia believes it is crucial, for arbitration purposes, to
benchmark business security and continuity needs during the "determining BCM
strategies" phase of the BS25999 BCM life-cycle. Indeed, business process
owners often express several continuity needs on the underlying resources
they use. Besides, several owners express different continuity needs on a
same shared resource. When decision time arrives, Top Management is bound to
arbitrate between at least two different needs weighing on the same resource.
This is why Sekimia opted for representing Business Continuity needs across
several business lines versus Gross Income per business line.

    Hence, Top Management is presented with all necessary "visual"
and quantitative data allowing them to take appropriate strategic decisions
pertaining to business continuity.

    By visually representing needs, an analyst could perform a
coherence check on a business' specificities regarding security and business
continuity considerations. Indeed, a credit card issuance business seeking
PCI-DSS compliance should naturally be highly demanding on Integrity and
Traceability. At the opposite, a business dealing with payroll will be much
more demanding on Confidentiality and Integrity. This constitutes also an
appropriate framework for identifying business lines that are more prone to
adhere to a specific security approach. For example, cryptography should be
suggested to a business line well aware of confidentiality and integrity
requirements whereas log management would be more easily "sold" to a business
aiming at PCI-DSS compliance, etc. This seems the most appropriate way to
identify corporate pioneers on a particular set of security cornerstones. It
also leads to the avoidance of security over and under-spending.

    Read more at: https://demo.sekimia.com/mindset/

    About Sekimia

    Sekimia was founded in 2008 in the sole aim of allowing
information security and business continuity practitioners to "Speak Security
in the Language of Business".

    Sekimia's software solutions and services use Business Process
Management (BPM) as an efficient cross functional communication enabler.
Sekimia's packaged methodologies break corporate silos and nurture the
projects transversal aspects. They allow concerned practitioners gain
interdisciplinary skills and engage a constructive dialog with business
representatives on information security and business continuity.
