Doodle Jump Set to Become World's Next Big eSport

Iconic mobile game will leverage Skillz to bring electronic sports to its 10 million monthly players

SAN FRANCISCO, July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Lima Sky, the creator of Doodle Jump, today announced the impending launch of a competitive eSports league. The famed game developer also disclosed the selection of San Francisco-based Skillz as its official technology partner for the launch. The Skillz Tournament Management System will be used to organize, officiate and broadcast both player and brand-sponsored tournaments, along with multi-thousand person physical and virtual events.

With more than 200 million downloads, a successful merchandise line and critical acclaim as one of the greatest mobile games of all time, Doodle Jump is well positioned to transcend the world of games and become a bonafide sport.

"There are three key elements for a game to become a sport: players, leagues and spectators." said Skillz CEO Andrew Paradise. "Doodle Jump already has hundreds of millions of players and a ravenous fan base. With Skillz, it will now have organized, broadcasted tournaments and competitive leagues to transform it into a full-fledged eSport."

Doodle Jump was first released over seven years ago, and it quickly became an international hit. The now iconic game has proven its staying power during an era of intense competition in mobile gaming. Doodle Jump currently has more than 10 million monthly players, which is roughly equivalent to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, one of the most popular eSports of all time.

Lima Sky COO Matt Turetzky likened the forthcoming eSports league to the original announcement of Season One by Riot Games. "When League of Legends announced Season One in 2010, it was a seminal moment for eSports. It was the moment when a hugely popular game crossed over into being a sport. That's what we believe we can create here."

Doodle Jump has received both an Apple Design award and the Google Play Best of 2015 award. It has been called one of the top 100 iPhone games of all time. Doodle Jump has also been featured prominently in pop culture, appearing in episodes of award-winning television shows like The Big Bang Theory, Parks and Recreation, and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Built on an award-winning platform, the new next generation office automation devices will boost business efficiency and drive digital transformation for Australian businesses

SYDNEY, July 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon Australia has today announced the release of its next generation multifunctional devices, the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500i Series. The four colour A3 multifunctional devices (imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5535i, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5540i, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5550i, imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5560i) enhance productivity through intelligent document workflows, provide an intuitive user experience and address the total cost of print across an organisation.

http://photos.prnasia.com/prnvar/20160415/8521602421LOGO

Gavin Gomes, newly appointed Director for Canon Business Services said our next generation devices are built on an award-winning imageRUNNER ADVANCE platform.

"These multifunctional devices will boost efficiency and help deliver on digital transformation strategies of Australian businesses."

Peter Brittliff, Senior Manager-Product at Canon, said the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500i Series is designed to deliver maximum return on investment to businesses by minimising maintenance and downtime while boosting productivity and profitability.

"The value of print for our customers lies in its ability to create, manage and share documents and information in a secure manner, and seamlessly across an organisation. The new range of devices come with the new shared platform to reduce administration, and ensure employees have the technology they need to work digitally and efficiently.

"The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500i Series delivers these benefits cost effectively across the entire workflow and fit seamlessly into any working environment.  It represents best in class performance, designed with environmental goals in mind and advanced network security."

With information management an increasing priority for Australian businesses, the imageRUNNER C5500i Series is designed for digitisation.

Rapid scanning captures paper-based data with ease while the intelligent devices come with the ability to scan and convert documents to Searchable PDF, Microsoft® Word, and Microsoft® PowerPoint files.  A single-pass duplexing document feeder that holds up to 150 originals ensures seamless digitisation for the most document heavy businesses.

The next generation devices offer an intuitive user experience with a responsive colour touchscreen that can be customised to meet the needs of individual users and businesses.

The user interface will be available on all future imageRUNNER ADVANCE models as well as advanced personalisation capabilities to ensure a highly personalised experience across an entire fleet environment.

Universal Login Manager software provides a unique combination of user-based authentication, personalisation function control and gives total output visibility, helping to significantly reduce the overall cost of the document production process. The next generation devices are easily integrated with optional uniFLOW software, Canon's comprehensive and scalable solution software platform for device, output management and smart scanning solutions for increased control.

Seamless integration with business applications and cloud connectivity ensure that the imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500i Series is compatible with existing business systems to provide mobility.

Canon's expertise and state-of-the-art imaging technologies deliver consistently striking quality. V(2 )(Vivid & Vibrant) imaging technology ensures outstanding colour quality output on a wide range of media, even at large volumes.

A huge paper capacity of 6,350 minimises time between replenishment while status notifications monitor performance at all times. The new imageRUNNER ADVANCE's smart, adaptive technology ensures software will always be up to date for a consistently optimised performance.

Canon's device management tools offer centralised control across entire fleets.  Devices can be updated, inactive units can be remotely turned off, meter readings can be captured, and address books and printer drivers can be managed accordingly.

Mr Gomes concludes that "combined with Canon's Managed Document Services this proactive management and continual optimisation of print infrastructure and related business processes saves money, increases efficiency, productivity and profitability.  At Canon we are incredibly excited to provide to this our existing and new customers."

The imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5500i Series will be available in Australia from 1 August 2016.

Berlin Start-up Promises Home Security System of the Future

BuddyGuard's FLARE protects home by itself thanks to Artificial Intelligence

BERLIN, July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- BuddyGuard finished work on FLARE, the UFO-shaped home security device that will "blow Canary and Nest out of the water." After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the start-up launched FLARE on IndieGoGo for pre-order.

FLARE is said to protect your home all by itself, as it actually understands its environment.
"We put a lot of emphasis on the Artificial Intelligence," says CEO Herbert Hellemann, who built the first prototype in 2014. "We believe that home security should be smart enough to dispatch the police on its own, without you having to spend a second on it."

The "easy and intelligent" home security system uses face and voice recognition to authenticate visitors, even at night. A feature called AudioIntel(TM) distinguishes normal noise from suspicious sounds. This allows FLARE to take actions on its own, although users will still be informed through notifications.

Standing up against the big guys

BuddyGuard is the latest to enter the smart home market, dominated by US companies. The start-up of 20 recently secured $1 million, which pales in comparison to Nest, bought by Google for $3.2 billion. Still, the small firm believes it stands a good chance of redefining the crowded home security landscape.

"We bring so much more to the table," says CMO Wouter Verhoog. "Unlike Canary and Nest, FLARE offers real home security. Besides its AI and sensors, FLARE comes with LTE back-up for when your WiFi is down. The battery keeps FLARE running for three days in case of a power outage."

Hellemann adds: "We designed FLARE with privacy in mind: Once you're home, the camera gets mechanically covered. What happens at home, stays at home."

Add-ons

BuddyGuard offers add-ons to upgrade your home security, like BuddyCall to receive a call in case of an alarm. With BudyReact, FLARE creates a live feed with a security monitoring company, where a human can decide to dispatch the emergency services. Hellemann stresses that FLARE works just fine without the add-ons, but "sometimes you just need extra security; for example for when you're on vacation."

FLARE is now available on IndieGoGo for $349 per device, shipping worldwide in November.

If you'd like more information FLARE, or to schedule an interview with the founders, please Email or send us a tweet on @BuddyGuard_io.

LeEco Partners With Flipkart for BIG Exchange Days

BANGALORE and NEW DELHI, July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Flipkart Offers Irresistible Exchange Offers to Help Consumers Upgrade to '3+32' LeEco
Superphones 

    For consumers who are constantly multitasking and are seeking to buy a real 'value for
money' smartphone, then it is the best time for them to upgrade to the '3GB RAM + 32 GB
ROM' era. LeEco and Flipkart are holding their 'BIG Exchange Days' program on July 18 and
19 for all those who want to swap their old phones with new ones. LeEco will offer an
additional exchange offer to buyers of Le 2, Le Max2 and Le 1s Eco on top of the standard
exchange price provided by Flipkart for the old phone on 18th and 19th July.

    The smartphone competition in India has taken an interesting turn, after a new
battlefront was started by global Internet and ecosystem conglomerate LeEco, subsequent to
the launching of its Superphones that come with a minimum configuration of '3GB RAM + 32GB
ROM'.

    Starting from its first launch in January this year till its recent one, all the five
Superphones launched by LeEco in India packed at least '3GB RAM + 32GB ROM' specs and came
at disruptive prices.

    The affordability of the new '3+32' technical benchmark, that followed LeEco's entry
into India, has changed the landscape of smartphone pricing in India and raised buyers'
expectations. LeEco took the competition to such a level that other brands need to think
twice before launching a smartphone packed with less than '3+32' configuration.

    '3+32' configuration being available at an affordable price range has forced other
major brands to follow the LeEco path. But incorporating such a configuration at such
prices is not a child's play as smartphone suppliers have to suddenly apply brakes on
their existing lines of rolling out below par smartphones and take a new path to deal with
this new trend.

    It takes months of diligent preparations before changing the playing field. LeEco's
engineers and marketing team burnt the midnight oil finalising its game plan and
strategies before rolling out these high-end Superphones at attractive prices. Realising
their goal of giving consumers '3+32' configuration at attractive price range was a
watershed moment for the smartphone industry in India.

    This new standard of '3+32' has come as a silver bullet even from the user experience
perspective. The 3GB RAM + 32 GB internal storage means more storage, faster execution of
tasks, easier multitasking, and an ultimate multimedia experience.

    Le Max2: Powerful Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 820 with up to 6GB of RAM 

    Le Max2 is powered by Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 820 chipset with a 2.15 GHz Kryo
processor. Constructed with a 14 nanometre manufacturing process, it delivers double the
performance and efficiency over the chipset's predecessor, Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 810.
With faster connection speed, enhanced visual and longer battery life, this advanced chip
will handle high-intensity gaming and multimedia with ease.

    Le 2: The best Superphone available that comes with 3GB+32GB 

    Le 2 Superphone comes under budget segment but with high-end features. It has an
amazingly powerful Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 652 Octa-core processor with a clock speed
of 1.8GHz. With its 3GB of RAM and 32GB built-in storage, the Superphone is an offering
for users who love doing heavy multitasking. Some of the technologies like the USB Type C
port and Quick Charge stands out in this budget range. In terms of camera, the Le 2 sports
a 16MP rear camera with PDAF and f/2.0 lens.

    Le 1s Eco: The most impressive in its class that comes with one-year free and
unlimited content subscription, clubbed with 3GB + 32GB

    Le 1s Eco performs without any glitches as it packs a 64-bit Octa-Core MediaTek Helio
X10 chipset, which is clubbed with 3GB RAM. It handles multiple apps without facing any
stutters. Multi-tasking is smooth, letting users switch between active games and WhatsApp
messages with ease. Le 1s Eco offers a free one-year unlimited subscription to content
with local languages.

    About LeEco: 

    LeEco, formerly known as Letv, is a global pioneering Internet and technology company
with multiple Internet ecosystems across content, devices, applications and platforms.
Founded in November 2004 by Jia Yueting and Liu Hong, LeEco employs more than 10,000
people and is the world's first video company to go public with a market capitalization of
more than $12 billion USD. Headquartered in Beijing, China, it has regional headquarters
in Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Silicon Valley.

    With 'Complete ecosystem, groundbreaking technologies, and disruptive pricing' as the
guiding principle, LeEco is engaged in a myriad of businesses, spanning from

devices/accessories and large-screen applications, to e-commerce and even connected
super-electric cars. The company also features one of the world's largest content
libraries, comprising of movies, TV dramas, entertainment shows, sports and music, which

1MORE Launches New Bluetooth® Over-Ear And Active In-Ear Sports Models Just In Time For Summer

1MORE USA, a consumer audio company and makers of the highly lauded Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones has released two new Bluetooth models and one value in-ear headphone

SAN DIEGO, Calif., July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 1MORE, a premier consumer electronics audio company, has begun selling two new Bluetooth models and one wired in-ear headphone. The new models include the iBFree Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones, the MK802 Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones, and the Piston Classic In-Ear Headphones. These new headphones will round out an already successful lineup of six in-ear and over-ear headphones. This is the first foray into the wireless Bluetooth market for 1MORE, who has responded to consumer demand for Bluetooth models that uphold the superb quality and value of their wired line.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160715/390105

The Piston Classic In-Ear Headphone will offer consumers affordable quality, sound, and style. "They're a giant leap from the ear buds that come with your smartphone for a surprisingly low price," says CEO Dave Russell, adding that, "We've sold over 10 million pistons worldwide and now they're updated and look and sound even better. It's about bringing quality sound to everyone."

The two new Bluetooth models come at a time when Bluetooth devices are being accepted into everyday life. 1MORE's new models use CRS Bluetooth 4.1 chips with aptX® coding technology, which provides meticulous sound quality and a stable wireless option for consumers who want more freedom from wires. Millennials and "Cord-Cutters" are pushing the market towards wireless options, and 1MORE has not only recognized this shift but has responded with new products. The new Bluetooth models will feature all of the quality and value 1MORE is known for - only now free of cables. "They're the first Bluetooth headphones I've used where I couldn't tell they were wireless," says VP of Sales Tim Burton, going on to say, "Even the talk quality is far superior without the common echo of other Bluetooth headphones."

The new MK802 Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones feature rare Beryllium drivers for an exceptionally comprehensive sound with a durable, lightweight, and stylish TR-90 exterior. The MK802s have a "Bass Level" switch on the ear cup for those who want bass highlighted or limited, as well as optional hearing protection to reduce hearing loss and fatigue. In addition the MK802s can be used with the 1MORE app, which allows you to control hearing protection, assign controllable apps, and more. The MK802s feature controls on the ear-cup including a MEMS microphone for crystal clear calls, all compatible with Apple iOS and Android. Combine this with up to 15 hours of playback time and you have the freedom to take your music anywhere. The MK802 will be available in fire-engine red and electric blue and retails for $129.99.

1MORE's iBFree Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones feature extremely lightweight aluminum alloy earpieces with Bluetooth 4.1 aptX coding, oblique angled ergonomic comfort, and titanium dynamic drivers. The iBFree's unique stylish design is also IPX4 rated water-resistant against rain, spills, and sweat. Designed for the active consumer, the iBFrees feature up to 240 hours of standby time and 8 hours of play time, perfect for your run, workout, or other outdoor adventures. The iBFrees also feature in-line controls and a MEMS microphone for crystal clear calls compatible with Apple iOS and Android. The lightweight design, various sized ear tips and sport grips, and adjustable clip ensure a secure fit for rigorous activities. The iBFree will come in vibrant red, space gray, aqua blue, and apple green and retails for only $49.99.

1MORE's Award winning Piston Classic In-Ear headphone strikes an ideal balance of function and form. Comfort is perfected by a 15° angle to match your ear canals. The driver's dual layer diaphragm consists of aerospace grade titanium for fast response and high end clarity, and PET polymer for dynamic mids and deep bass. Dual damping systems take pressure off the driver to minimize distortion, reduce ear fatigue, and enhance spaciousness and low end. Our lightweight piston design fits comfortably in your ears, freeing you to enjoy your music. Beyond comfort, the snug fit increases noise isolation, fullness, and bass. The Piston Classic In-Ear Headphones come in space gray and rose gold and retail for a jaw dropping $19.99.

As with their previous line, all three models were expertly tuned by internationally acclaimed Grammy Award winning sound engineer, Luca Bignardi. 1MORE'S commitment to a naturally balanced sound, without the harsh bass and treble boosting prevalent with other brands, produces a fully satisfying listening experience without the need for unhealthy volume levels. "1MORE truly wants you to hear what your favorite artists intended you to hear," says Director of Brand David Kellogg adding, "The goal of any great technology is to disappear so there's nothing between you and your music."

Corporate Trends
1MORE's approach has broken the unspoken rule in the headphone market - that high-quality headphones have to be expensive and affordable headphones are destined to have bad designs. 1MORE is challenging the status quo by creating superior quality headphones at surprisingly affordable prices through the use of proprietary patented designs and manufacturing.

Products currently available in the 1MORE USA line include:

    --  Piston Classic In-Ear Headphones ($19.99)
    --  Single Driver In-Ear Headphone ($29.99)
    --  iBFree Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones ($49.99)
    --  Dual Driver In-Ear Headphone ($69.99)
    --  Crystal Single Driver In-Ear Headphone - Dual Pack ($79.99)
    --  MK801 Over-Ear Headphones ($79.99)
    --  Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones ($99.99)
    --  MK802 Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones ($129.99)
The products are available for sale on amazon.com and the 1MORE USA website (1MORE.com). Coming soon: 1MORE Dual Driver Capsule In-Ear Headphones.

1MORE USA, established in August of 2014, was the brainchild of President, Dave Russell, and VP, Tim Burton, who leveraged their knowledge of the consumer technology industry and overseas sourcing experience to partner with 1MORE China. Their combined purpose is to bring 1MORE China's proven successful approach to consumer audio product design and development to the North American market. "Our goal is to occupy a new space in the world's audio market by giving our users quality, affordability, style, and community," says 1MORE China's CEO and Founder, Gary Hsieh. 1MORE China was founded in 2013 by Hsieh, a former Foxconn executive who was instrumental in producing products like the Kindle and iPod. Disillusioned with low-value contract manufacturing, Hsieh wanted to develop a unique brand that would dispel the belief that products made-in-China couldn't be of both excellent quality and value. From this idea 1MORE was born.

These resources are rich with code to help developers, data scientists and DevOps learn to use Splice Machine, and will continue to grow with contributions from the entire community.

V2.0 General Availability
Now generally available, Splice Machine 2.0 integrates Apache Spark, a fast, open-source engine for large-scale data processing, into its existing Hadoop-based architecture, creating a flexible, hybrid database that enables businesses to perform simultaneous OLAP and OLTP workloads.

Splice Machine 2.0 features include:

    --  Scale-Out Architecture - Cost-effectively scales out on commodity
        hardware with proven auto-sharing on HBase and Spark
    --  Transactional SQL - Supports full ACID properties in a real-time,
        concurrent system
    --  In-Memory Technology - Achieves outstanding performance for OLAP queries
        with in-memory technology from Apache Spark
    --  Resource Isolation - Allows allocation of CPU and RAM resources to
        operational and analytical workloads, and enables queries to be
        prioritized for workload scheduling
    --  Management Console - A Web UI allows users to see the queries that are
        currently running, and to then drill down into each job to see the
        current progress of the queries, and to identify any potential
        bottlenecks.
    --  Compaction Optimization - The compaction of storage files is now managed
        in Spark rather than HBase, providing significant performance
        enhancements and operational stability
    --  Apache Kafka-enabled Streaming - Enables the ingestion of real-time data
        streams
    --  Virtual Table Interfaces - Allows developers and data scientists to use
        SQL with data that is external to the database, such as Amazon S3, HDFS,
        or Oracle
Ideal for powering real-time operational and analytical applications, Splice Machine simplifies the Lambda architecture, so businesses no longer have to manage the complexity of integrating multiple compute engines to ingest, serve, or analyze data. With Splice Machine's "Lambda in a Box" architecture, developers and data scientists can store their data all in one place and just write SQL.

"We are excited about v2.0 of Splice Machine," said Tom Beale, Chief Technology Officer, Corax. "The new version has a closer relationship between Spark and relational data storage. This enables us to continue to utilize big data computation and storage technology at the same time, interfacing directly with our cyber risk quantification SaaS platform."

The new architecture includes the ability to easily access external data and libraries. The Splice Machine RDBMS can execute federated queries on data in external databases and files using Virtual Table Interfaces (VTIs). It can also execute all pre-built Spark libraries (over 130 and growing) for machine learning, stream analysis, data integration and graph modeling.

Added Zweben, "Digital marketers, financial institutions, life science and cybersecurity companies all need to process mixed OLTP and OLAP workloads and prefer technologies with a vibrant community.  The open source community provides a lifespan beyond any single company's tenure, and a rich source of skill sets to tap that can expand, customize, and operate the technology."

LeEco All Set to Take the Mobile Gaming World to a Higher '3+32' Era

BANGALORE and NEW DELHI, July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    As per a recent study by Facebook, 70% gamers across the globe, including India choose
smartphones as their primary gaming platform, followed by computers, tablets and game
consoles.

    The mobile gaming industry will generate an annual revenue of $36.9 billion in 2016,
which would be bigger than that of the PC gaming for the first time, the study showed.

    Mobile gaming is also attracting users from other social media. The new sensation of
Pokemon Go has taken the smartphone gamers' world by storm and users are spending more
time playing the game than they are on any other social media platform.

    While this new trend of smartphone usage has caught the smartphone brands off guard,
global internet and ecosystem conglomerate, LeEco responded to this new dynamic well in
time.

    At a time when 80 percent of the smartphones sold on eCommerce sites in India, come
with less than 3GB RAM, LeEco's three new Superphones, Le 1s Eco, Le 2 and Le Max2 are
leading the pack in the Indian smartphone market with 3GB or more memory.

    The gaming world was pleasantly surprised by the launch of LeEco's Superphones that
provide high-intensity gaming experience and high-resolution graphic display all at
attractive prices for buyers.

    For a long time, mobile gamers have been in the quest to move to a higher level of
'3+32' era, where smartphones are at least equipped with 3 GB of RAM and 32GB of internal
storage. Just like how India is on the cusp of moving from feature phone era to smartphone
era, with LeEco's recent launches, mobile gamers are just a click away from '3+32' era.
LeEco's second generation Superphones, Le 2 and Le Max2 packs the best specs and technical
edge required for a perfect mobile gaming environment. Le 2 Superphone, which comes with
3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage and powered by Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 652, has
the fastest processor under the hood, of amongst all the smartphones available in its
price range.

    Even Le 1s Eco Superphone from previous LeEco's previous generation has 3GB RAM and 32
GB ROM. The premium Le Max2 Superphone comes in two variants: 4GB + 32GB and 6GB + 64 GB.

    Advantages of 3GB RAM+32GB ROM 

    A delight for multi-taskers that need a future-proof phone for the next couple of
years. The benefits of 3GB + 32GB ROM are that its high number of cores speed up the
system. The high amount of RAM allows users to use more apps at the same time
(multi-tasking). Higher resolution graphic display, more capable gaming environment and
bigger space for storage are other plus points of this combination.

    Le Max2: Powerful Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 820 with up to 6GB of RAM 

    Le Max2 is powered by Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 820 chipset with a 2.15 GHz Kryo
processor. Constructed with a 14 nanometre manufacturing process, it delivers double the
performance and efficiency over the chipset's predecessor, Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 810.
With faster connection speed, enhanced visual and longer battery life, this advanced chip
will handle high-intensity gaming and multimedia with ease.

    Le 2: The best Superphone available in its price range that comes with 3GB+32GB 

    Le 2 Superphone comes under the budget segment but with high-end features. It has an
amazingly powerful processor Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 652 Octa-core processor with a
clock speed of 1.8GHz. With its 3GB of RAM and 32GB built-in storage, the Superphone is a
panacea for users who love doing heavy multi-tasking. Some of the technologies like the
USB Type C port and Quick Charge stands out in this budget range. In terms of camera, the
Le 2 sports a 16MP rear camera with PDAF and f/2.0 lens.

    Le 1s Eco: The most impressive in its class that comes with one-year free and
unlimited content subscription, clubbed with 3GB+32GB   

    Le 1s Eco performs without any glitches as it packs a 64-bit Octa-Core MediaTek Helio
X10 chipset, which is clubbed with 3GB RAM. It handles multiple apps without facing any
stutters. Multi-tasking is smooth, letting users switch between active games and WhatsApp
messages with ease. Le 1s Eco offers a free one-year unlimited subscription to content
with local languages.

    Mobile gamers can experience the '3+32' era, which is just a click away. Flipkart is
holding its 'exchange' program for all those who want to swap or exchange their old phones
with new ones. LeEco will offer an additional Rs 2,000 exchange offer to buyers of Le 2,
Le Max2 and Le 1s Eco on top of the standard discount provided by Flipkart on 18th and
19th July.

How the UK Video Games Industry Can Survive, Revive and Thrive Outside of the EU

LONDON, July 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    TIGA, the trade association representing the video games industry, today published
Brexit: Priorities for the UK Video Games Industry. The 20 page reports sets out a policy
agenda for Government, Parliament and policy makers to consider as the UK begins the
process of leaving the EU.

(Photo:
http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20160715/390106 )

    Dr Richard Wilson, TIGA CEO, said: 

    "We must all strive to ensure that the UK survives, revives and thrives outside of the
EU. The high technology and creative industries, including the video games sector, can
power ahead in a post-BREXIT world - provided that Government takes the right policy
decisions and businesses rise to the challenge.

    "TIGA's Report sets out a practical, pragmatic and positive agenda for ensuring the UK
games sector is a leading player in an industry that is predicted to be worth almost $100
billion by 2018. If the UK creates a favourable tax environment with an enhanced Games Tax
Relief and R&D Tax Credit, increases availability of finance and improves access to talent,
then the UK video games industry has everything to play for."

    The UK video games industry already contributes GBP1.1 billion to UK GDP. This will
increase with the right policy environment in place.

    A Summary of Brexit: Priorities for the UK Video Games Industry

    1. The UK needs a favourable tax environment to encourage businesses to invest in the
UK. The Government should consider:

       
        - reducing the rate of corporation tax to 17 per cent in 2017;
        - enhancing Video Games Tax Relief and the R&D Tax Relief.

    2. Access to finance: The UK Government should:

       
        - introduce a Video Games Investment Fund to enable more studios to grow; and
        - increase the amount of money that a company can raise via SEIS investment from
          GBP150,000 to GBP200,000.

    3. Access to talent: The UK Government should:

       
        - ensure that EU workers already working in the UK are protected so that they can
          continue to work in the UK with the confidence that they are not going to be asked to
          leave the UK in the future.

    4. Exports, trade agreements and tariffs: The UK Government should:

       
        - negotiate a trade deal with the EU that to the greatest possible extent avoids
          quotas, tariffs and other barriers to trade.

    5. VAT: The UK Government should:

       
        - negotiate an EU wide measure to exempt small businesses from EU VAT regulations.

    6. Intellectual Property: The UK Government should:

       
        - consider introducing arrangements for the conversion or extension of a EU
          trademark or registered community design to cover the UK.

    7. Data Protection: The UK Government should consider:

       
        - adopting the General Data Protection Regulation to ensure that companies based in
          the UK and doing business in the EU can continue to smoothly transfer information and
          data.

    8. Higher Education: The UK Government should:

       
        - make up any short-fall in funding following the UK's departure from the EU.

    9. Fiscal policy: The UK Government should consider:

       
        - increasing investment in infrastructure to cushion the UK from the shock of
          Brexit.

    10. Skills and Training: The UK Government could consider:

       
        - extending the life of the Skills Investment Fund to maximise investment in skills
          in the creative industries.

With the forthcoming Vuzix M3000 and AR3000 augmented reality glasses, the wearer will be able to reach out and interact with virtual 3D objects overlaid in the real world. The M3000 and AR3000 will accommodate the adoption of powerful AR applications with advanced operator support for many enterprise, industrial and medical uses.

"At Vuzix, we have long anticipated that the adoption curve for AR would eventually be rapid and steep, as Enterprise, gamers and consumers generally recognize that the experience is unparalleled. We are hoping to lead the way in bringing increased functionality to our industrial customers and enhanced entertainment for general consumer users and gamers with our AR technology on Vuzix products," said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix.

PowerFilm to Launch Indiegogo Campaign for Portable Solar Charger LightSaver Max

Power Up, No Matter Where Your Adventure Takes You

AMES, Iowa, July 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Many have experienced the hassle of finding a power source to charge up while in the great outdoors. Whether it's a work email or a call from a loved one, it's hard to deny we thrive on staying connected. Iowa-based PowerFilm is listening - and has created the Made-in-America LightSaver Max, a portable solar charger, to take the worry out of adventuring, by reliably powering your portable devices.

The company officially launches the LightSaver Max on Indiegogo today - with the goal to fill a void in the solar charger market. Currently, there isn't an all-in-one solar charger that is lightweight, but still packs the punch of the LightSaver Max - which includes an amorphous silicon panel and a built in 15,600 mAh internal battery.

The LightSaver Max allows everyone from hikers to military members to charge electronic devices wherever they may be, day or night. Whether camping, on base or on a trail, this 1.5 pound compact device features U.S. military approved solar and easily fits in a travel pack.

"We've been developing and manufacturing unique, flexible solar module technology for nearly three decades, including solar tents for the Army," said Frank Jeffrey, Co-Founder and President of PowerFilm. "We wanted to create a product for adventurers like us who want that next level of reliable power to keep them connected anywhere they go - that's the LightSaver Max."

The LightSaver Max is:

Efficient. Charges quickly and can be attached to your backpack to charge while you're on-the-go. (An iPhone 6 will charge in approximately two hours and is similar to a wall outlet charge.)

Durable. Will stand up in harsh weather and is not easily damaged.

Lightweight. Weighing in at 1.5 lbs, the Max is far and away the best complete solar solution.

Versatile. Can charge any device that uses a 5 volt USB charge outlet.

Features:

    --  2 USB 2.1 outputs
    --  12 V, 60W high power output

Cutting Edge Protection: Defender Series Available Now for GALAXY S7 edge

FORT COLLINS, Colo., July 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Samsung innovated the first curved display, challenging OtterBox engineers to evolve the most rugged case line to suit these new devices. Following more than a year of design and development, and a new process for creating curved screen guards, OtterBox introduces Defender Series for GALAXY S7 edge, available now.

https://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20160713/389436

Defender Series is the most rugged OtterBox case with multiple layers of tough protection to keep GALAXY S7 edge protected against dirt, dust, scratches and drops.(1) With a newly engineered curved screen guard, tough interior shell and shock-absorbing slipcover, the Defender Series protects GALAXY S7 edge with rugged protection without interfering with screen functionality.

"The curved edge of the phone gave OtterBox engineers a new challenge with the Defender Series design," said OtterBox CEO Jim Parke. "With such a huge demand for the rugged case, we had to create a solution that allows full functionality of the display without compromising on the protection Defender Series is known for."

While most Defender Series have a flat built-in screen guard to block out scratches and dust, Defender Series for GALAXY S7 edge uses a molded screen guard to provide a clear screen cover solution. The built-in screen guard is made from injected molded polycarbonate and features anti-scratch, anti-fingerprint and UV stabilized coatings.

To ensure Defender Series can take on the rough tumbles of everyday life and weekend adventures, the case design undergoes a minimum of 238 hours across 24 or more punishing tests as part of the OtterBox Certified Drop+ Protection program.

Defender Series for GALAXY S7 edge is available to pre-order today in black for $69.95 from otterbox.com. Alpha Glass for GALAXY S7 edge is also available now and is compatible with Symmetry Series, Strada Series and Commuter Series.(2) To learn more visit otterbox.com.

The new ARM(®) Cortex(®)-M0 based ICs combine an original low-power circuit design with the highly efficient DC-DC converter introduced in earlier products. This allows the chips to reduce current reduction by nearly 46 percent compared to the prior products, and to realize peak current consumption of 3.6 milliamps (mA) at 3V in transmitting mode.

Deepak Mithani, senior director, Mixed-Signal Business Unit, System LSI Group at TAEC, noted, "While Bluetooth-powered devices are continuing to grow in popularity and volume, one key consumer issue creates the greatest challenge for manufacturers: battery life. Users want ubiquitous Bluetooth connectivity without rampant power consumption hindering performance. These new ICs build on Toshiba's proven expertise in Bluetooth LE connectivity while delivering current consumption on par with the lowest available to date, creating a highly attractive solution for OEMs to design into their Bluetooth Smart products."

The TC35679FSG is a mask-ROM-based product with no built-in Flash ROM and can achieve extremely low current operation by reducing current consumption that would be used for access to Flash ROM. Well-suited for applications with external host MCUs, it also supports external EEPROM over an I2C interface to support standalone mode. Accordingly, it can achieve long operating times for applications powered by small coin batteries. For example, using a CR2032 type coin battery, the new IC can carry out beacon operation for more than a year(5).

TC35678FXG and TC35678FSG chips include all TC35679FSG features and additionally incorporate built-in 256KB Flash ROM to store user programs and various data in standalone operations, eliminating the need for external EEPROM and helping lower mounting cost and area. Out of 256KB Flash ROM, approximately 200KB is available for user application. Further, SRAM memory capacity for user programs is extended to 100 kilobytes (KB) from 64KB in previous products, contributing to expandability of application programs. The TC3678 family of chips also supports over-the-air (OTA) firmware upgrades.

All three ICs operate at voltage ranges of 1.8V to 3.6V and temperature ranges of -40ºC to 85ºC. The TC35678FSG and TC35679FSG are housed in 5mm x 5mm QFN40 packages. The TC35678FXG is a TC35678FSG repackaged in a 7mm x 7mm QFN60 package that extends the number of general-purpose I/Os from 16 to 32. It is suitable for equipment that requires a large number of control pins, such as keyboards and remote controls.
