Apple Updates MacBook Pro Line

Faster Processors, Next-Generation Graphics & Up to 10 Hours of Battery Life

CUPERTINO, Calif., April 13 -- Apple® today updated the MacBook® Pro line with faster processors, powerful next-generation NVIDIA graphics and even longer battery life. The popular 13-inch MacBook Pro features the new NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor for up to 80 percent faster graphics and a groundbreaking 10-hour built-in battery.* The new 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models feature Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and Apple's new automatic graphics switching technology that toggles seamlessly between powerful NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and energy efficient Intel HD Graphics processors.

"The new MacBook Pro is as advanced on the inside as it is stunning on the outside," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. "With faster processors, amazing graphics and up to three more hours of battery life, the new MacBook Pro delivers both performance and efficiency."

All 13-inch MacBook Pro models now include faster Intel Core 2 Duo processors, 4GB RAM, a 10-hour built-in battery and the new NVIDIA GeForce 320M graphics processor. With 48 processing cores, the new NVIDIA GeForce 320M is the fastest integrated graphics processor on the market, ideal for graphics intensive applications or high performance games. The 13-inch MacBook Pro is available in two configurations: one with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 250GB hard drive priced at $1,199; and one with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 320GB hard drive priced at $1,499.

The new 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models are up to 50 percent faster than the previous systems.** Using Intel's state-of-the-art 32 nanometer process, Intel Core i5 and i7 processors integrate the memory controller and Level 3 cache for faster access to system memory. Hyper-Threading technology improves data throughput by creating virtual processing cores, while Turbo Boost optimizes performance between the two processor cores, accelerating the system from 2.66 GHz to 3.06 GHz for intensive dual core tasks, and up to 3.33 GHz for single core tasks.

All 15-inch and 17-inch models include two graphics processors, the new NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M for peak performance and Intel HD Graphics for energy efficient operation. More than twice as fast as the GeForce 320M, the powerful new GeForce GT 330M provides incredibly smooth, crisp on-screen graphics for the most demanding 3D games, creative software and technical applications. Apple's automatic graphics switching determines which graphics processor an application needs and switches instantly between processors to deliver peak performance and long battery life. Tightly integrated hardware and software allow the new 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro to deliver 8 to 9 hours on a single charge.

The new 15-inch MacBook Pro is available in three models: one with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and 320GB hard drive at $1,799; one with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and 500GB hard drive at $1,999; and one with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and 500GB hard drive at $2,199. The new 17-inch MacBook Pro features a 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M and 500GB hard drive for $2,299.

The MacBook Pro glass Multi-Touch(TM) trackpad now supports inertial scrolling, an intuitive way to scroll through large photo libraries, lengthy documents and long web sites. All MacBook Pros feature bright, LED-backlit wide-angle displays with a broad color gamut. The 17-inch MacBook Pro includes a high resolution 1920 x 1200 display, and the 15-inch MacBook Pro is now available with an optional high resolution 1680 x 1050 display. Customers can also upgrade their MacBook Pro with new 128GB, 256GB and 512GB solid state drives.

As the industry's greenest notebook lineup, every Mac® notebook achieves EPEAT Gold status and meets Energy Star 5.0 requirements, setting a new standard for environmentally friendly notebook design.*** Each unibody enclosure is made of highly recyclable aluminum and comes standard with energy efficient LED-backlit displays that are mercury-free and made with arsenic-free glass. Mac notebooks contain no brominated flame retardants, are PVC-free and are constructed of recyclable materials.

Apple uses advanced chemistry, intelligent monitoring of the system and battery, and Adaptive Charging technology to create a notebook battery that delivers up to 10 hours of wireless productivity on a single charge and up to 1,000 recharges.**** The built-in battery design results in less waste and depleted batteries can be replaced for $129 or $179, which includes installation and disposal of your old battery in an environmentally responsible manner.

All Macs come with Mac OS® X Snow Leopard®, the world's most advanced operating system, and iLife®, Apple's innovative suite of applications for managing photos, making movies and creating and learning to play music. Snow Leopard builds on a decade of OS X innovation and success with hundreds of refinements, new core technologies and out of the box support for Microsoft Exchange. iLife features iPhoto®, to easily organize and manage photos; iMovie® with powerful easy-to-use new features such as Precision Editor, video stabilization and advanced drag and drop; and GarageBand® which introduces a whole new way to help you learn to play piano and guitar.

MobileBits to Set New Standards in Mobile Search Marketplace

Answer Engine Geared to Meet Needs of Mobile Consumers

SARASOTA, Fla., April 13 -- MobileBits Holdings Corp.,  (BULLETIN BOARD: MBIT) , a global technology company, today announced its plans to launch the world's first automated mobile answer application, MobileBits(TM).  With MobileBits(TM), consumers will now be able to ask questions and quickly receive relevant answers and information on a broad scope of content.

Designed specifically to meet the needs of mobile consumers, the MobileBits(TM) application will simplify access to a world of content and enhance performance by delivering answers, not links, to search queries.  The mobile community will be able to ask questions on a wide variety of information such as "What is the status of Southwest flight 2974?" or "What is the 52 week high for MBIT?".

"Experiences in our past projects have demonstrated there is enormous value in the ability to connect the mobile community to specific information in the fewest clicks," said Walter Kostiuk, MobileBits Founder. "MobileBits leverages millions of dollars in technology search assets and many years of know-how to capitalize on this valuable marketplace and deliver an easy-to-use solution that returns answers with accurately matched advertisements."

MobileBits(TM) will offer its answer engine free of charge to consumers.  The Company intends to generate revenue through its proprietary ad-matching system; connecting highly targeted advertisements to answers and consumer interests - as determined by the type of questions asked and their location. The Company believes this approach to targeting mobile ads will increase the probability that consumers will pay attention to a particular retailer 'call to action'.

"The value of the mobile economy increases exponentially when consumers are connected with relevant and compelling advertising at the exact time of their interest," Kostiuk further states.

Available this year, MobileBits(TM) plans to offer applications on the leading smartphones and will also be accessible on any device with an internet browser.   Initially available in English, the Company plans to support multiple languages to increase its global market.

About MobileBits

MobileBits Holdings Corp. is a global technology company that provides answers and highly targeted advertisements through its MobileBits(TM) answer engine, available on mobile phones through the Company's web and smartphone applications.  The Company offers a wide range of answers and information on a broad scope of web-based content.

The World's First Shoot and Show Camcorder Features A Unique New Design with Full Widescreen Playback and More Hours of Video

SAN FRANCISCO, April 13 -- Cisco today announced the newest member of its groundbreaking Flip Video(TM) line, the Flip SlideHD(TM).  It's an all-new Flip, with an all-new form factor, designed to make it even more fun to capture, watch and share HD videos anytime, anywhere.  With Flip SlideHD, active consumers and families can record up to four hours of HD video, or store up to 12 hours of content, and then view it instantly with a stunning slide-up full widescreen.

"Since its launch less than three years ago, Flip Video has changed the way the world captures and shares video," said Jonathan Kaplan, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco Consumer Products.  "The addition of the exciting new SlideHD to the Flip family allows consumers to take their life with them wherever they go and easily share those experiences with everyone around them."

With SlideHD, anyone can capture an event and then relive the moment with immediate playback as friends gather around. In addition, with up to 12 hours of storage, SlideHD makes it easy for people to bring their videos and photos with them as they travel or meet up with friends or family.  It's like having a portable life book for spontaneous viewing anywhere. SlideHD's 3-inch widescreen playback makes it ideal for many occasions such as entertaining the kids with their own personal video show or fine-tuning a tennis serve.

The Flip SlideHD is the first Flip Video camera that lets consumers shoot up to four hours of HD video or store up to 12 hours of videos, photos, and content from Flip channels(TM). SlideHD is also the first Flip to enable real-time video sharing on a stunning 3-inch widescreen with a unique slide-up design. SlideHD's simple touch screen and innovative slide strip make it easy and fun to quickly navigate through your library to locate a video or photo.

Like Flip's popular and stylish Mino line, SlideHD lets users design their own camcorder to make it uniquely their own.  Users can also choose from thousands of designs from artists, leading design firms, celebrities, and iconic brands, or they can easily upload their own image to create a one-of-a-kind camcorder.

The new Flip SlideHD joins the popular Flip Video family which includes the Flip Ultra(TM) and Flip Mino(TM) lines. Like all Flip models, the SlideHD is pre-loaded with the proprietary FlipShare(TM) software that allows consumers to easily organize, create and share their videos. Using a PC or Mac, Flip video content can be instantly uploaded, both privately and publicly, and ready for one-click sharing. From social media sites - Facebook, MySpace and YouTube -- to email, mobile devices, Flip Channels, and the TV; FlipShare is the easiest solution for consumers to share their videos.

(NYSE: MHS), in collaboration with Medical Mutual of Ohio®, are hitting the ground running by delivering improved patient safety, reducing prescription drug costs and boosting physician practice efficiency through an initiative that encourages ePrescribing in Ohio. The program, which began in March 2010 and runs through September 2010, will help physicians use personal computers and wireless devices to write prescriptions and send them to the pharmacy for filling.

"ePrescribing puts life-saving information about adverse drug events in front of the doctor at the point of care," said John P. Driscoll, Medco's President of New Markets. "It's a critical component to transforming healthcare from our present system to one that is efficient, sustainable and patient-centered."

"Medical Mutual of Ohio knows that payer-physician collaboration leads to cost effective, quality care," said Dr. Robert Rzewnicki, Medical Mutual's Chief Medical Officer. "ePrescribing is a proven way of enhancing patient safety while reducing the administrative cost and lightening the workload in physician's offices. We're happy to help accelerate its adoption."

The program includes financial incentives for participating physicians who adopt ePrescribing into their practice.

At least 1.5 million preventable adverse drug events occur each year in the United States according to a 2006 report by the Institute of Medicine.(1)  ePrescribing can reduce that number by putting critical clinical information at the fingertips of physicians where it can do the most good--at the point of care.

(1)  Institute of Medicine. Preventing Medication Errors: Quality Chasm Series. Washington, DC: National Academies Press; 2007.

ePrescribing uses an automated data entry system (such as a desktop computer, handheld device or personal computer tablet) in the physician's office to electronically submit a prescription to the patient's pharmacy of choice.

  The benefits of ePrescribing include:
  --  Reducing potentially harmful drug interactions by alerting physicians
      of possible risks
  --  Eliminating medication errors due to illegible handwriting
  --  Increasing the use of generics and preferred drugs by providing
      physicians with formulary information when writing the prescription,
      resulting in savings for the patient
  --  Eliminating patient wait time at the pharmacy by furnishing physicians
      with benefit plan details at the point of prescribing so that changes
      won't be needed when the prescription's being filled.

  ePrescribing in Ohio

According to the 2008 State Progress Report on Electronic Prescribing, Ohio ranked 13th in the nation for use of ePrescribing. Almost five percent of prescriptions within the state were transmitted electronically in 2008, up from 2.5 percent in 2007(i).  Total prescription routing volume (the ability to electronically route the prescription to the patient's pharmacy of choice) in Ohio rose to 3 million in 2008, up from 1.5 million in 2007.

Nimsoft On Demand Delivers Unified Monitoring via Full-Featured SaaS Solution

Innovative SaaS IT Management Empowers Emerging Enterprises and Service Providers to Quickly and Easily Implement Unified Monitoring from the Datacenter to the Cloud

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 13 -- Nimsoft, a business unit of CA, Inc. (NASDAQ:CA), today announced availability of Nimsoft On Demand, a Software as a Service (SaaS) Unified Monitoring(TM) solution that delivers the robust capabilities and benefits of IT monitoring as an on-demand solution.  With Nimsoft On Demand, emerging enterprises and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) can maintain visibility into their business-critical IT infrastructure--including both their internal assets and those in the cloud--without having to purchase, administer or deploy monitoring hardware and software on their own premises.

Nimsoft On Demand is built on the proven technology of the Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS), which provides broad, scalable, extensible, rapidly deployable and easy-to-use IT monitoring in a single product.  It enables customers to implement NMS Unified Monitoring capabilities under an adaptable subscription model, allowing them to pay only for the level of monitoring they use at any given time.

  With Nimsoft On Demand, organizations can:
  --  Scale IT monitoring to keep pace with internal and external IT
      resource expansion
  --  Quickly gain benefits via a rapidly deployable SaaS model
  --  Help reduce costs associated with IT monitoring
  --  Help enable the performance and availability of mission-critical
      business services and applications

"I have been waiting for an on-demand solution that makes sense in terms of functionality and cost effectiveness," said beta tester Toby Hosterman, CIO of National Pain Institute.  "I'm anticipating Nimsoft On Demand will deliver all the functionality we've come to expect and help us lower the administrative burden on our small IT staff."

Nimsoft On Demand monitors external IT resources--including SaaS applications such as Salesforce.com® and Google Apps(TM), and infrastructure cloud services such as Rackspace Cloud(TM), Amazon Web Services(TM), Terramark and BlueLock.  It also monitors internal resources including Microsoft® Exchange servers and virtualized data centers powered by VMware and Citrix.

To begin using Nimsoft On Demand, customers can visit http://www.nimsoft.com/ondemand, and request a trial.  After logging in, Nimsoft On Demand quickly begins to provide IT departments with visibility into their internal datacenter and cloud infrastructure.

"IDC forecasts a 2009-2013 CAGR of 26% for the worldwide cloud services market, which includes software-as-a-service offerings," explains Mary Johnston Turner, research director for enterprise system management software at IDC.  "As more and more organizations implement public cloud and SaaS solutions they will need access to monitoring capabilities that provide end-to-end visibility across internally run applications and public services and can be deployed just as quickly as the services they are monitoring."

In addition to appealing to emerging enterprises seeking to minimize fixed technology overhead costs, Nimsoft On Demand offers a compelling value proposition to MSPs that need to quickly and cost-effectively respond to the growing market demand for outsourced IT management.

"A growing number of customers want to offload IT management tasks to a trustworthy service provider, so they can focus their attention and resources on their core business competencies," said Renee Symons, SyCom Technologies vice president, services operations.  "We selected Nimsoft On Demand and its rich set of on-demand monitoring capabilities to help us profitably meet this growing market.  We expect it to lower our total cost of service delivery and provide a foundation upon which we can build higher-value/higher-margin offerings."

Nimsoft On Demand further extends CA's portfolio of IT Management SaaS solutions - which include CA Clarity PPM On Demand and CA ecoSoftware.

"Nimsoft customers and prospects can now turn to the cloud with confidence, knowing that Nimsoft On Demand allows them to take advantage of the flexibility and cost savings of SaaS without sacrificing the quality, breadth or ease-of-use of their monitoring capabilities," said Gary Read, senior vice president and general manager of the Nimsoft Business Unit at CA.  "Nimsoft now uniquely provides customers the flexibility to use either on-premise or SaaS-based management solutions to monitor their IT infrastructure, from the datacenter to the cloud."

Additional Supporting Quotes

"As companies deliver more IT services in the cloud, they will also explore their options for managing their entire IT infrastructure from the cloud.  Nimsoft On Demand can monitor and manage IT services from the datacenter to the cloud with no new on-premise product infrastructure, reducing complexity and lowering IT management costs."

-- Dennis Callaghan, senior enterprise software analyst at The 451 Group

"IT professionals are recognizing that SaaS-based data center management solutions can give them the same benefits as their business user counterparts--greater functionality at lower costs with more flexibility and fewer risks.  The new Nimsoft On Demand solution gives IT organizations a timely alternative to traditional on-premise systems to meet their rapidly changing requirements."

-- Jeffrey M. Kaplan, managing director of THINKstrategies and founder of the SaaS Showplace

"Cloud Computing and SaaS are shaking up the traditional IT service delivery model which is best demonstrated by the success of household names such as Salesforce and Amazon.  Many companies are beginning to investigate how they can manage not only the traditional datacenter, but these new platforms as well.  SaaS products like Nimsoft On Demand can assist with this revolution and deliver IT infrastructure monitoring across cloud computing and the traditional datacenter while removing the need to manage an on premise product infrastructure.  This allows organizations to improve the flexibility of managing their infrastructure and reduce the management cost."

-- Bojan Simic, principal analyst, TRAC Research

"The continued focus within midsize organizations and enterprises to reduce IT costs and maximize network performance is certainly fueling demand for Cloud Computing and SaaS solutions.  The new Nimsoft on Demand solution presents a great opportunity for our VAR and MSP partners to engage their current and prospective customers on the value of managed IT services and discuss the cost savings and efficiency gains these solutions bring to the business.  We are thrilled to bring this SaaS solution from Nimsoft to our growing channel partner base."

  -- Jason Beal, director of services sales for Ingram Micro North America

EEMBC(R) Undertakes Development of Industry-Standard Browser Platform Performance and Compliance Test

New Working Group Chaired by Texas Instruments Focuses on Benchmark to Measure the Browser User Experience

EL DORADO HILLS, Calif., April 13 -- The Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) today announced that it has formed a new working group to create a standardized, industry-accepted method of evaluating Web browser performance on portable electronic devices. This working group will be co-chaired by Mansoor Chistie and Gary Debes, both from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI).

Unlike other browser benchmarks, the EEMBC benchmark, named BrowsingBench, strives to measure the complete user-experience from the click/touch on a URL to final page rendered on the screen. It is not limited to measuring only JavaScript execution. In addition, it measures page rendering speed and factors in Internet content diversity as well as various network profiles used to access the Internet.

One other benchmark feature that is particularly important in the mobile platform is the ability to measure power consumption. Since a browser can trade higher performance for better battery life, BrowsingBench will include a methodology for determining the browsing effects on battery life.

BrowsingBench will benefit processor vendors, operating system and browser developers, and system developers by providing a tool to determine how effective (or ineffective) their hardware and software products are at processing and displaying Web pages - both for performing the individual subtasks necessary to display a page, as well as the total composite time for processing the entire page. Users will appreciate BrowsingBench because systems that perform well on the EEMBC benchmark should give good results on real-world, daily Web browser tasks; the opposite is also true. Using EEMBC benchmark, a user will be able to fairly compare browsing performance across different hardware platforms running a wide variety of software browser implementations.

"TI is excited to play a formative role in this browser benchmark working group, and to also represent the industry as a group chair," commented Marcelo Vieira, OMAP(TM) business unit manager, TI. "We continue to see the need for a well-constructed, industry-accepted Web browsing benchmark to evaluate and compare various platforms' ability to process Web pages. With key industry leaders participating in the creation of BrowsingBench, we believe EEMBC's process, once finalized, will meet this need."

"BrowsingBench will point out the strengths and weaknesses of all system components involved in the browsing experience," said EEMBC president Markus Levy. "Therefore, we are encouraging all relevant companies, including the system manufacturers, processor vendors, operating system and browser developers, to get involved with this effort and help ensure a meaningful and fair representation."

Most Americans Willing to Sacrifice Some Privacy to Enhance Safe Air Travel, According to Latest Unisys Security Index

With economic and H1N1 worries receding, concerns over airport security and terrorism trump other U.S. public fears U.S. concerns about safety of online transactions at highest level since start of Unisys Security Index three years ago

BLUE BELL, Pa., April 13 -- Ninety-three percent of Americans said they are willing to sacrifice some level of privacy to increase safety when traveling by air, according to research conducted in January and February by Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS). Nearly two-thirds of Americans (65%) said they are willing to cooperate with full electronic body scans at the airport, and more than half (57%) would be willing to submit to identity checks using biometric data such as iris scans or fingerprints.

Nearly three quarters of Americans (72%) said they are willing to provide personal data in advance of air travel to increase security.

The findings, part of the latest bi-annual Unisys Security Index, illustrate that recent events such as the attempted Christmas Day airline bombing may have made security a priority for air travelers. A clear majority of citizens in nearly every country surveyed said they would be willing to forgo privacy to increase air travel security. For example, 90% of citizens in the United Kingdom and 70% of Australians said they would submit to electronic body scans.

"An overwhelming majority of the global population is willing to cooperate with enhanced travel security mandates, suggesting that the public is willing to give up some privacy in return for safer air travel," said Mark Cohn, vice president of enterprise security, Unisys. "This suggests that the public supports technologies, communications and personnel to enhance security at our nation's airports, borders and ports."

Recognizing the need to address air travel security concerns, Unisys today also announced the launch of its Next Generation Airport Passenger Security Solution (http://www.unisys.com/unisys/news/detail.jsp?id20000970002010069). This new solution integrates advanced technologies with existing IT and communication systems to provide passengers with a streamlined travel experience while enhancing security and reducing costs.

The latest results of the Unisys Security Index also confirmed that national security and identity theft rank as America's top concerns, with nearly two-thirds (65%) "extremely" or "very" concerned about U.S. national security and 64% seriously concerned about identity theft.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans (62%) are also seriously concerned about credit and debit card fraud. The percentage of Americans who are seriously concerned about the security of online transactions is at the highest level now (43%) since the Unisys Security Index began three years ago. The percentage of Americans who are "extremely concerned" about the security of their online transactions rose to 20% (up from 16% in September 2009).

These findings reflect recent trends reported by the U.S. government and other organizations. Last month, the FBI reported that losses due to internet fraud more than doubled in 2009 to nearly $560 million. In 2009, identity theft jumped 12 percent, hitting 11.1 million U.S. consumers, according to an annual survey released last month by Javelin Strategy & Research.

Overall Results of Latest Wave of Security Index

The Unisys Security Index surveys consumer opinion on four areas of security: financial, national, Internet and personal safety. More than 1,000 Americans responded to the latest survey. The results are tallied on a scale of 0-300, with 300 representing the highest level of perceived concern.

The overall score for the current Unisys Security Index for the United States was 147, indicating a moderate level of overall security concern. The overall score came in unchanged from the last survey taken in September 2009.

National security emerged again in the latest results as the U.S. public's greatest area of concern, with 65% of those surveyed saying they were concerned about this area. The number of Americans "extremely" concerned about identity theft rose to 31%, up from 26% in September 2009.

Americans' fear surrounding their ability to meet their essential financial obligations--which was the leading concern one year ago --continues to be on the decline. The most dramatic decline was reported in those "very concerned" about financial security-- from 25% in September 2009 to 20% in February 2010.

The research reveals another significant drop in the proportion of American adults who are "very concerned" about a national health epidemic like H1N1 (30% in September 2009 to 23% presently), while there has been an uptick in Americans "not at all concerned" about a national health epidemic-- 18% in September 2009 to 21% currently.

"The finding that an overwhelming number of Americans are willing to submit private information to enjoy safe air travel provides strong evidence that the public's privacy fears may be in decline," said Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute, an independent research and consulting firm. "I find the results of the Unisys Security Index as compelling evidence that people throughout the world care deeply about their personal safety, especially when traveling on a commercial airline."

Additional key global findings from the latest Unisys Security Index include:

  --  Citizens of the UK were the most accepting of electronic body scans at
      airports, with 90% of citizens approving the procedure. A large
      majority of the Dutch public (81%) were also in favor, followed by
      Australians (70%).
  --  Mexico and Hong Kong were the only countries surveyed in which a
      majority did not indicate willingness to submit to electronic body
      scans at airports. Only 24% of the Mexican adults and 45% of those in
      Hong Kong said they would support use of the procedure.
  --  Security concerns were highest in Brazil, which reported an overall
      index score of 177, closely followed by Mexico with a score of 173.
      The Netherlands reported the lowest level of concern with an overall
      score of 70.
  --  Identity crime ranks as the overall greatest concern in the United
      Kingdom. 87% of UK adults are worried about unauthorized access to
      their personal information and the same percentage expressed fear
      about other people obtaining or using their credit card or debit card
      details.
  --  National security concern is extremely high in Mexico. More than
      three-quarters of Mexicans (77%) are seriously concerned about
      national security, the top concern in the country. Only 4% of Mexicans
      said they were not concerned about national security.

New Optism(TM) Mobile Advertising Solution Delivers Powerful Permission-Based Marketing, Bridging the Gap Between Mobile Operators and Advertisers

PARIS, April 13, 2010--     Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext Paris and NYSE: ALU) today unveiled
its Optism(TM) Mobile Advertising Solution, a unique new offering that
enables mobile operators to create valuable "media inventory" (available ad
space) and provide advertisers with easy access to willing and highly
targeted audiences. Optism(TM) helps mobile operators develop new business
models and offer more personalized experiences to their subscribers. It also
helps advertisers reach wider, yet more targeted audiences through highly
responsive, permission and preference-based mobile marketing that is
aggregated across multiple mobile operators, a capability unique in the
industry.

    A key feature of Optism(TM) is its media arm, which brokers
relationships between mobile operators and advertisers, greatly simplifying
the media selling process for aggregated operator inventory. Specifically,
Optism(TM) brings together a wealth of experienced advertising and mobile
marketing professionals to build commercial relationships with global brands
and agencies, bringing the ecosystem together to facilitate the sale of
aggregated media inventory across multiple mobile operators.

    "The most desirable inventory involves user permissions
supplemented by explicit preferences and must offer broad scale to truly
harness mobile as a marketing channel," said David Kyffin, Global Chief ROI
and Direct Marketing Officer of Mediacom, part of the WPP group. "Clients are
increasingly asking if they can run campaigns over multiple regions and at
scale. Alcatel-Lucent's operating model and access to multiple mobile
operators is a big step towards meeting these requirements."

    At the heart of the solution is a highly scalable, hosted
advertising platform that reduces barriers to entry for mobile operators and
easily and directly connects them with advertisers. Going beyond just
technical capabilities, it offers go-to-market support for operators,
combined with media sales and campaign management for advertisers. The
solution provides an innovative business model - based on revenue sharing -
that empowers operators to play a more significant role in the ecosystem than
they do today. Utilising permission and stated preferences to deliver
advertising to subscribers' mobile phones, they can be connected with their
favourite brands through relevant and engaging interactions that are tailored
to their specific interests and lifestyles, such as discount offers on
products and services.

    Alcatel-Lucent is enabling mobile operators, such as Orange
Austria, to connect their subscribers with the brands that they care about,
and provide access to information and offers. "By working with
Alcatel-Lucent, we can provide value to our subscribers by ensuring that ads
are interest-based, while growing our revenue without adding complexity to
our operations," said Juergen Pillinger, Senior Business Developer
(Advertising Solutions), Orange Austria. "The Mobile Advertising Solution
allows us to deliver targeted ads that subscribers actually want to receive,
while providing a highly responsive channel for brands and media agencies."

    By helping mobile operators expose a valuable asset - their
media inventory - in a safe and secure way to create new services and
additional revenue streams, the Optism(TM) Mobile Advertising Solution
supports Alcatel-Lucent's application enablement (
http://www2.alcatel-lucent.com/application_enablement/) vision to combine the
capabilities of network operators with the speed and innovation of the web to
provide end users and enterprises with a richer and more trusted web
experience.

    "Fragmentation and lack of scale have acted as a brake on
mobile advertising, deterring the advertising community and slowing overall
growth," said Eden Zoller, Principal Analyst, Ovum Consumer Practice.
"Alcatel-Lucent's aggregated approach is working to address these issues and
as such is a positive step in the right direction."

    "Mobile operators have a huge role to play in the growth of
mobile advertising," said Thomas Labarthe, Vice President of Mobile
Advertising at Alcatel-Lucent. "Our solution unlocks that potential and
finally creates a compelling proposition for operators, advertisers and,
importantly, subscribers."

    In keeping with its growing role in the mobile advertising and
marketing space, Alcatel-Lucent has become a premier member and active
participant in the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA), as announced on Feb.
15, 2010 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

Unisys Next Generation Airport Passenger Security Solution Delivers Enhanced Security for Air Travel Consumers Worldwide

New solution builds on Unisys experience with advanced biometric technologies to enhance security, speed passenger processing time and reduce costs

BLUE BELL, Pa., April 13 -- Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS) today announced its Next Generation Airport Passenger Security Solution, aimed at helping commercial airlines and airports speed passenger processing time, reduce costs and create a more secure and convenient experience for air travelers around the world.

Unisys, a leading integrator of security solutions for private and public sector organizations worldwide as well as a longtime provider of technology solutions to airports and the airline industry, is bringing together these capabilities to address a growing problem in air travel today: long departure lines, flight delays and dissatisfied travelers due to inconvenient procedures.

Drawing on the company's experience with the aviation industry and advanced biometric-based security solutions for governments and commercial organizations, the new Unisys solution will integrate the various stages of the air passenger experience with a biometric component to uniquely identify each passenger. The end-to-end solution covers the key touch points of air travel: from electronic boarding passes, to boarding plane, to passing through immigration, to baggage collection.

"Travelers around the world are being squeezed by a growing number of critical but costly and inconvenient airport security procedures that are taking the joy out of traveling," said Terry Hartmann, vice president, identity and credentialing global practice, Unisys. "With the technologies we have today, air travel doesn't have to be such a difficult experience. Unisys has extensive experience applying advanced biometric technology to address the most demanding identification challenges, and we look forward to helping airports, airlines and immigration agencies make better use of these technologies to bring a new level of convenience and efficiency to air travel."

The new solution, which comprises a range of Unisys services and software, is based on the proven Unisys LEIDA (Library of eID Artifacts software) framework, which creates software building blocks that accelerate the time needed to develop and implement identity and credentialing solutions. Unisys will integrate its own software solutions with best-of-breed components from its partners in the areas of biometrics and identity management.

Reducing the Hassles of Air Travel

The Unisys solution will take advantage of the ongoing transition in many countries to biometric electronic passports, or "e-passports," which feature embedded biometric data about the traveler within the documents. Using the LEIDA framework, coupled with its existing Airport Passenger Processing Solutions, Unisys will integrate this passport data with other biometrically-captured identification information to greatly speed the air passenger process. This integration will help address many of the hot topics in the aviation industry today - such as those being addressed by the International Air Transport Association's Fast Travel program to create standards and recommended practices for self-service options to improve the air travel experience.

"This new solution helps to address the very tricky equation of satisfying airport security requirements, while maintaining or improving passenger service and processing efficiency," said Haakan Andersson, director of airports at Unisys.

Here's how the new process would work for the typical passenger:

Before purchasing tickets online, travelers would provide passport and/or biometric information to the relevant authorities. Travelers checking in online could choose to have mobile boarding passes with a 2D barcode sent to their mobile phones, eliminating the need for paper boarding passes.

Upon arrival at the airport, they would proceed to a self-service or agent-operated bag drop, where their identities, e-passports and electronic boarding passes would be checked and matched using biometric technology to verify their identities. The solution also has included a capability to allow travelers, in the future, to preprint their own baggage tags to bypass airport bag-tag print queues.

Using the biometric technologies of facial recognition, fingerprint scans and iris recognition, passenger identities could be quickly verified at each security checkpoint, as well as other locations such as airline lounges. Travelers would then have plenty of time for shopping or dining, before proceeding to the departure gates where biometrics would also be used to confirm that all travelers and their luggage have made it on board - and that all travelers, their travel documents and boarding passes are uniquely matched.

Upon arrival, passengers traveling to international destinations would use their biometric-enabled e-passports at automated immigration gates to verify their entitlement to enter the country. If verified, they would be able to immediately proceed to baggage claim areas - bypassing long lines and the hassle often associated with waiting in line for manual immigration checks.

Consumer readiness for the solution was underscored by the latest results (http://www.unisys.com/unisys/news/detail.jsp?id20000970001910179) of its bi-annual Unisys Security Index, also announced today, which revealed that consumers worldwide are willing to sacrifice some level of privacy to increase safety when traveling by air. For example, 72% of U.S. citizens said they would be willing to provide personal data in advance of air travel to increase security. Elsewhere, 91% of citizens in the United Kingdom and 68% of Australians said they would provide biometric data to increase flight security.

This Next Generation Airport Passenger Security Solution builds on Unisys longstanding aviation and security expertise in successfully integrating communications and security networks. Unisys has worked with some of the world's major airports including the Los Angeles World Airports, the Beijing Capital International Airport, the Delhi International Airport and the Madrid/Barcelona airports in managing their integrated security systems. Unisys systems and servers are currently used to check-in almost a third of the world's passengers, with over 200 airlines and 600 airports around the world using Unisys solutions.

The solution also leverages Unisys experience as a leading provider of integrated identity credentialing solutions in countries such as the United States, Mexico, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, South Africa, Angola, Chile, Philippines, Costa Rica and Spain. In addition, Unisys will bring in its experience with U.S. government projects such as the U.S. Army In-Transit Visibility program for tracking equipment and the award-winning U.S. Customs and Border Protection Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative for identifying travelers crossing U.S. land borders.

VANCOUVER, Wash., April 13 -- Today, Wacom® announces wide-ranging support for the powerful new features of Adobe® Creative Suite® 5 (CS5), officially launched yesterday.  The significant upgrades in CS5 include new pen-centric capabilities, particularly in the brush engine for Photoshop® CS5 and Illustrator® CS5 software.  Photoshop users will get the most from the new brush capabilities in CS5 when using either Wacom's Intuos®4 professional pen tablet or Cintiq® interactive pen display.  "Never has there been a better time for professional photographers, designers and artists to combine Wacom pen input with Adobe's Creative Suite software to naturally express their creative ideas and increase their productivity," said Don Varga, senior product manager for Wacom's professional products.

Pen Power Enhances Photoshop Brush Engine

Wacom's line of professional pen tablet and interactive pen displays work cohesively with CS5 and some of the most beneficial workflow enhancements for the pen user can be found in the new brush engine within Photoshop CS5.  "The Wacom pen and Adobe Photoshop have long enjoyed an harmonious and productive relationship," added Varga.  "The new brush engine in Photoshop CS5 takes that relationship to a whole new level by offering tools that integrate pen pressure sensitivity, tilt and rotation, as well as emphasize the intuitive and creative nature of the pen over alternative input devices."

There are several key Photoshop CS5 brush engine enhancements for Intuos and Cintiq users that augment performance and simplify use.  To begin with, CS5 integrates toggle buttons that add pen pressure-sensitive control over brush size and opacity right on the standard application bar.  Wacom users need only point and click on these buttons to capture control of these brush dynamics.  In addition, CS5 introduces a set of pressure and tilt-sensitive Bristle Tip brushes allowing pen users to easily incorporate artistic brush strokes and effects into their workflow.  "When used with the new Bristle Tip brushes, Wacom's professional pen's Tip Sensor technology and 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity delivers a painting experience that feels just like working with traditional media," stated Varga.  The brush preview window allows the Wacom user to see real-time brush characteristics including the angle at which the brush is being held by the user.  In addition, when employed with the Art Pen, a Wacom specialty pen that senses barrel rotation (the twist of an artist's brush) within Photoshop and Illustrator, brushes deliver a traditional media feel and empower users to reach new heights of creative expression.

The way Wacom pen users can now create and blend colors has also been vastly improved in Photoshop CS5.  The Mixer Brush is a pressure-sensitive tool that allows users to blend colors as if they were wet paint.  Using setting controls in the options bar, one can define the wetness and the amount of paint being mixed and applied by the brush. The Mixer Brush can be used on colors that have been applied with any tools such as pencil, pen or paint bucket.  It can even be used to blend colors and add realistic brush strokes to a photograph to give it a hand-painted appearance.

The pressure-sensitive Spot healing brush takes advantage of the new Content-Aware Fill technology in Photoshop CS5 to remove blemishes and unwanted objects in a photograph.  Wacom users can precisely paint over elements that they wish to remove in an image, replacing them with details that match the lighting, tone and texture of the surrounding area.

New intelligent technology offers an unparalleled level of control for the Wacom pen in the making of selections and masks.  The Refine Edge Radius brush allows the user to delicately expand the edge detection area of a selection when working with complex elements, such a hair.  According to Varga, "Wacom's pen on paper feel provides a much easier, natural and precise way to follow contours in an image when working with the Refine Edge Radius tool."

Illustrator CS5 Users Draw Creativity from Wacom Pen

Illustrator CS5 also has a new set of Bristle Brushes that allow users to paint with vectors that resemble traditional art brushes.  Similar to the Bristle Tip brushes in Photoshop CS5, Wacom pen users can easily modify the natural characteristics of these brushes including size, length, shape thickness and stiffness.  In addition, Illustrator's support of pen pressure and tilt-sensitivity provides superior control over brush dynamics such as angle, roundness and diameter.  "Opacity settings can now be assigned to the new Bristle Brushes in Illustrator CS5," said Varga.  "This is wonderful news to the designer or artist as they can now create soft, transparent variations in scalable vector lines."

The Wacom Art Pen also works in Illustrator CS5, providing a unique and personal touch to artwork by way of its 360 degrees of barrel rotation.

"We were happy to collaborate with Wacom to provide an intuitive workflow within CS5 applications," said Bryan O'Neil Hughes, product manager for Photoshop at Adobe.  "The Wacom pen is a natural instrument for creative tasks, like painting in Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended, which truly brings brush strokes to life.  We look forward to continued work together to develop new features for professional creators of digital content."

Productivity Benefits for Both Hands

Wacom's Intuos4 pen tablets and Cintiq interactive pen displays feature customizable ExpressKeys(TM) and Touch Strips for quick access to keyboard shortcuts and modifiers.  These non-dominant hand features greatly enhance productivity and allow the user to concentrate on the creative process.  Since the customized settings are application specific, CS5 users can create personalized settings to maximize their productivity in each application in Adobe CS5.

Collaborating in CS5 with Adobe ConnectNow

Adobe ConnectNow in CS5 is especially interesting to those working with a Wacom pen.  This service enables users (colleagues, clients, etc.) to remotely share screens and collaborate in real time.  With its whiteboard functionality, users can draw or annotate directly on an image, easily communicate changes and share their ideas or concepts with others.

New Database Provides Online Access to Research and Resources in the Health Games Field

Comprehensive resource from Health Games Research to help researchers, game developers and health professionals strengthen the research, design and implementation of health games

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 13 -- Health Games Research, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Pioneer Portfolio (RWJF), today unveiled a searchable database tracking more than 1,200 resources related to digital health games. This online tool, available at http://www.healthgamesresearch.org, for the first time enables researchers, game developers, health professionals, educators, funding agencies and policy makers to access in one place a wide-ranging compilation of health games, research findings, publications, organizations and events in this growing field.

The database, which is searchable by category or by keyword, provides a substantial amount of detail about each item with links to more information. Adding to its interactive nature, users can keep the database current by suggesting new items to include.

"The demand for information about health games is extremely high and continues to rise," said Debra Lieberman, Ph.D., director of Health Games Research and communication researcher at the University of California, Santa Barbara. "This database is designed to serve a wide range of people, from doctors who want to create games in their area of specialty, to health promotion professionals who want to use games in health campaigns, to students looking for academic programs in video game design and production, to game developers looking for health behavior-change strategies to incorporate into their games, to researchers looking for journal articles and collaborators. In addition to providing a wide range of information about the field, the database lists hundreds of health games."

Several important studies have investigated the design and effects of health games and have found significant impacts on players' health.  However, more research is needed to improve the game elements that could motivate better health behaviors and to discover how different people process various health game elements cognitively, emotionally, socially and physiologically. The Health Games Research database provides resources and published studies so that practitioners and researchers can apply existing findings and conduct new research.

"It is amazing to see the powerful and innovative solutions that emerge when you apply the dynamism and creativity of the digital games space to health and health care challenges," said Paul Tarini, M.A., team director for RWJF's Pioneer Portfolio. "This new database further strengthens the body of evidence needed to take the health games field to new heights. The Pioneer Portfolio is proud to support Health Games Research and other projects that hold the power to transform how we take action to manage our health and health care."

Funded by a 4.5-year, $8.25 million grant from RWJF's Pioneer Portfolio, which supports innovative ideas that may lead to significant breakthroughs in the future of health and health care, Health Games Research advances the health games field through research and scientific leadership. Since its creation in 2007, the program has awarded nearly $4 million to 21 research teams to conduct studies of digital games that engage players in physical activity and/or motivate them to improve health behaviors related to prevention and self-care. The projects include a study of Lit, a mobile phone-based smoking cessation game created by Teachers College at Columbia University, in which the player breathes into the phone's microphone as the interface to the game. Also, a team at Union College is studying older adults' motivation to exercise and their health outcomes when they use stationary bikes--or cybercycles--outfitted with screens that display virtual locations and let them race against their personal best times and against others.

Details on these studies and the 19 others funded by Health Games Research can be accessed in the database and at http://www.healthgamesresearch.org.  Information about the studies and all other categories in the database will be updated regularly, so users are encouraged to check back often to see what's new or to subscribe to the RSS feed on the homepage, http://www.healthgamesresearch.org.

Leader in Data Loss Prevention & Identity Protection Announces First-Quarter 2010 Earnings

Software Company Identity Finder Sees Over 100% Increase in Sales from Last Year and Announces Its Newest Version, 4.5

NEW YORK, April 13 -- Identity Finder, LLC, a global leader in data loss prevention (DLP) and identity protection, today announced its earnings results for the first quarter of 2010. Identity Finder has posted net sales of $1.5 million and a net income of $1.2 million. These figures reflect increases of over 100% compared to the same quarter a year ago. The consumer product line saw strong growth due to upgrades from the Identity Finder Free Edition, while hundreds of new businesses purchased site licenses for Identity Finder Enterprise Suite.

The DLP market continues to grow at a considerable pace as states enact data breach notification laws (45 of the 50 states now have these laws in place) and as the federal government adopts legislation such as HIPAA, FERPA, and Massachusetts 201-CMR-17.00 to protect consumer's personal information. "A significant number of new businesses purchased our product over the last few months and their satisfaction has been a catalyst for new sales and opportunities," says Todd Feinman, CEO of Identity Finder. "This exposure is helping us grow quickly across the retail, higher education, government, and healthcare verticals." Retailers including Barnes & Noble and higher education institutions including Penn State University now use Identity Finder Enterprise Suite.

The identity theft prevention market is also growing strongly. According to the FTC, approximately 10 million Americans have their identities stolen each year and identity fraud is growing by about 10% annually. This growth has resulted in tremendous focus being placed on identity protection technologies. Feinman added, "Consumers are becoming more privacy conscious and proactive in protecting their computers from the threat of viruses and malware stealing their sensitive, personally identifiable information."

The Identity Finder software automatically searches through electronic data in files, e-mails, databases, websites, desktops, and remote computers. It then provides a workflow to remediate any unprotected, sensitive information by shredding, redacting, encrypting, or quarantining the data.

The company is launching version 4.5 this month. Over a thousand enterprise customers and a million consumers already using Identity Finder will receive these new updates. The major changes in this version provide new capabilities and tools to both enterprises and consumers, including:

  --  Mac users will now be able to more easily search for additional types
      of sensitive information using a redesigned graphical interface. IT
      administrators will be able to manage their Mac clients centrally,
      change policies on demand, and schedule searches to ensure that new
      sensitive data is quickly discovered and protected.

  --  Windows users will more efficiently and effectively discover
      unprotected sensitive information with faster and more accurate search
      capabilities that use advanced file identification and enhanced search
      history.

  --  Business units and entire enterprises will be able to generate their
      own custom reports that show where sensitive data resides as well as
      security actions that were taken. Reports now enable the analysis of
      sensitive data storage to help users make more informed decisions and
      improve company processes.

  About Identity Finder

Identity Finder, LLC was founded by innovative security experts and is headquartered in New York City. Its technology gives users the ability to find and protect sensitive data. The company has quickly grown to become a leader in DLP and identity theft prevention by helping millions of consumers, small businesses, and enterprises in over 50 countries. The management team is comprised of globally recognized specialists who are thought leaders in the security and privacy industry.

FLO TV to Expand its Offering with Interactive Capabilities, On-demand Content and Time-shifted Viewing

LAS VEGAS, April 13 -- FLO TV Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ:QCOM), today announced at the 2010 NAB Show in Las Vegas (Booth #SU1424) that it is working to enhance its mobile TV service with new applications that integrate video with Web-based content and social media tools.  The expanded capabilities are in response to the ways in which consumers today are simultaneously viewing and interacting with content.

"With consumers' mobile entertainment habits evolving rapidly, FLO TV will be integrating its current live linear video with relevant, on-demand content and interactive features that complement the programming viewers are watching in real-time," said Bill Stone, president of FLO TV. "Our innovative, nationwide multicast network is at the heart of this solution and will allow us to distribute live mobile TV and rich mobile media services to a range of new devices - from smartbooks to e-readers and tablets."

In addition to integrated experiences, FLO TV announced an expanded suite of mobile TV services, including interactive capabilities, pay-per-day and event passes, and time-shifted viewing options.  The new features will be available on the FLO TV(TM) service across a range of mobile devices in the second half of 2010.  New service applications will include:

  --  Interactive features that will enable users to interact with
      programming and advertising, allowing consumers to click for more
      information about a show or click to buy an advertised product.
  --  Pay-per-day passes designed to offer pay-as-you-go flexibility,
      providing consumers the ability to watch the FLO TV service without
      committing to a recurring monthly subscription.  Event passes will
      provide an easy way for existing FLO TV subscribers to add premium
      content such as limited engagement, special events to their
      programming lineup.
  --  Time-shifted viewing, or 'catch-up TV,' that will allow popular shows
      to be stored on FLO-enabled mobile devices, thereby granting viewers
      the ability to watch their favorite shows on-demand, even outside of a
      coverage area.

At a time when mobile devices such as smartphones, e-readers and tablets are proliferating and data consumption is increasing, FLO TV's nationwide network can alleviate cellular network congestion to meet the growing consumer demand for mobile media access across a wide range of devices.

The FLO TV service is currently available on multiple platforms, including mobile handsets and the recently launched FLO TV Personal Television, the first-ever portable digital television with a dedicated network.  In collaboration with Audiovox, FLO TV also offers FLO TV Auto Entertainment, an in-vehicle entertainment system that delivers high-quality mobile TV.

Service not available everywhere. Programming subject to change / blackout restrictions.  Service subscription required.  "Live mobile television" means the FLO TV service transmits channels in real time; no downloading, sideloading or buffering.

About FLO TV

The FLO TV service combines the best content, an intuitive user interface and a superior multicast network to deliver a true quality TV viewing experience for consumers.  FLO TV offers full-length simulcast and time-shifted programming from the world's best entertainment brands, including ABC Mobile, Adult Swim Mobile, CBS, CNBC, CNN Mobile, COMEDY CENTRAL, Disney Channel, ESPN Mobile TV, FOX Mobile, FOX News Channel, msnbc, MTV, NBC 2Go and nickelodeon.  Based in San Diego, Calif., FLO TV Incorporated is a wholly owned subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated.  Further information is available at http://www.flotv.com.  Follow us via Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/flotv and Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/flotv.

BizAuctions & La Jolla Liquidation & Auction Co. Begin Receiving Merchandise from the Tropicana Hotel & Casino

SAN DIEGO, April 13 -- BizAuctions, Inc. (Pink Sheets: BZCN), a prime provider of commercial eBay and Amazon liquidation services for excess inventories, overstocks and returns, and La Jolla Liquidation & Auction Co. have begun receiving the first tractor-trailer loads of merchandise from the Tropicana Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Delmar Janovec, CEO comments, "Since the announcement of our Joint-Venture agreement on April 8, 2010,  BizAuctions and La Jolla Liquidation & Auction Co., have received four (4) semi-truck loads of furniture, fixtures, and equipment which is just the start of a very large liquidation project that will take from nine (9) to twelve (12) months to complete. This begins the liquidation of furniture, fixtures, and equipment from the Tropicana Hotel & Casino, a historic Las Vegas landmark.

"Under the Joint-Venture, BizAuctions and La Jolla Liquidation & Auction Co. have begun the task of inventorying the merchandise and selecting the most appropriate goods and equipment to be sold on our eBay or Amazon platforms.  The remaining goods-equipment will be sold through bi-weekly or monthly live-auctions that will be held at BizAuctions warehouse in Otay Mesa or possibly at other facilities within the greater San Diego area or County.

"The renovation of the Tropicana Hotel & Casino is being completed in phases with the renovation of approximately 800 suite-rooms, kitchen areas, banquet-conference areas, and meeting rooms, spa, and casino areas.  Included in the liquidation will be the amazing antique stained-glass ceiling above the poker and craps tables in the main casino area of the Tropicana."

Janovec adds, "We are working very close with the management of La Jolla Liquidation & Auction Co. to enlist their knowledge of live-auctions for the preparation and scheduling of  upcoming auctions over the next 30, 60, 90 days, and beyond.  We are gaining valuable experience for BizAuctions and welcome the expertise of the live-auction business that La Jolla Liquidation & Auction Co. brings to the Joint Venture.

"BizAuctions employs two primary business models, whereby it liquidates inventory through eBay and Amazon on consignment for a lucrative commission; and/or it purchases inventory at a fraction of retail price for the purpose of liquidating it for a profit. BizAuctions consigns, buys inventory, and liquidates through eBay and Amazon platforms and its recently opened retail store, Lucky 7's," continues Janovec.

The Company's clients have included some of the Nation's leading retail names at the forefront of their industries.  With a long-term strategy to provide liquidation services to Fortune 1000 enterprises, BizAuctions is a clear and lucrative solution for most any business to liquidate excess inventory on its eBay and Amazon platforms and its Lucky 7's retail store.

Facebook and Its Safety Advisory Board Launch Robust New Safety Center

First initiative with global board brings new safety content to parents, educators, teens and law enforcement

PALO ALTO, Calif., April 13 -- In its latest effort to build and sustain a trusted environment for its 400 million users worldwide, Facebook today launched a completely redesigned Safety Center (http://www.facebook.com/safety) with new resources designed to inform parents, educators, teens, and members of the law enforcement community about Facebook's tools for staying safe while using the service. The initiative is the first major collaboration between Facebook and its global Safety Advisory Board, which it convened in December 2009.

As more people bring their social connections online, understanding best practices for staying safe on Facebook is as important as learning not to talk to strangers or rules of the road.  The new Safety Center, which the company has been testing in recent weeks, is designed to meet these needs through zeroing in on the following key components:

  --  Robust content: four times the number of pages dedicated to safety
      topics than was previously available
  --  Interactive portal: rich multimedia content drawn from Facebook
      resources as well as independent organizations that seek to educate
      people about staying safe online
  --  Streamlined design: clean, navigable interface created to help people
      quickly find answers to important safety questions organized by topic,
      such as "Addressing Personal Safety" and "Responding to Objectionable
      Content"

Facebook worked directly with its Safety Advisory Board on the initiative. The board provided expert advice on topics to address within the Center, including defense against cyberbullying; how to report a policy violation to Facebook; and information for educators on using the service. The Safety Center also includes content for parents developed by Common Sense Media, a member of its Safety Advisory Board, on topics such as "How do I teach my teen to use the Internet wisely?" and "Can I 'friend' my teen on Facebook?" This comes as part of a partnership between Facebook and Common Sense Media to promote digital literacy across the Internet.

Facebook also used the European Union's Safer Social Networking Principles, a set of recommended best practices adopted by the social networking industry in consultation with the European Commission, to inform the new design.

"There's no single answer to making the Internet or Facebook safer," said Elliot Schrage, Vice-President of Global Communications and Public Policy at Facebook. "That's why we're introducing new tools and advice for parents, educators and teens. We want our approach for improving safety to be as simple, easy and effective as our approach to improving Facebook's user experience. Our Safety Advisory Board has been a tremendous resource in developing this next generation of safety resources and offering us ideas for new initiatives.  Going forward, you'll see even more powerful - and simpler - safety innovations coming from Facebook."

"WiredSafety, along with our Teenangels and StopCyberbullying programs, is dedicated to providing all Internet users with the most robust safety information available," said Parry Aftab, Executive Director of WiredSafety. "The development of Facebook's new safety page is a positive and proactive step towards giving Facebook users the information they need to keep themselves safe online. We applaud their efforts and look forward to continued collaboration on this and other safety initiatives."

"On the user-driven Web, safety has to be a collaboration," said Anne Collier, Co-Director of ConnectSafely.org. "ConnectSafely is pleased to have helped develop Facebook's new Safety Center, and we look forward to continuing efforts to engage users in helping to make the social Web a safe, enjoyable place for them and all their friends."

"It is so important for Facebook to have clear, accessible and prominent safety advice," said Will Gardner, CEO of Childnet International.  "We are delighted to have been able to advise Facebook on the latest updates to their safety pages, and to have helped to shape the start of an ongoing process to help users understand more clearly what the rules are for their engagement and how to stay safe and keep in control in this environment."

"Technology provides kids with new and exciting opportunities to share and communicate, but it is up to parents, educators, industry leaders, business, and policymakers to give kids clear-cut information on how to navigate both the possibilities and the perils of the digital world," said Anne Zehren, president and COO of Common Sense Media. "We feel it's vitally important that Facebook is stepping up to connect parents and teens around the globe with the support and education they need to make smart and responsible choices that will allow them to thrive in a world of media and technology."

"We're encouraged to see Facebook taking a thoughtful, proactive approach to safety on the web," said Stephen Balkam, CEO of the Family Online Safety Institute.  "Education is one of the four pillars of what we do at FOSI, and we are confident that the new Safety Center on Facebook will demonstrate the progress that can be made by bringing together safety organizations and Facebook technology in a concerted effort to reach families who now use the Internet as part of their everyday lives."

The launch of the improved Safety Center is the latest component of an aggressive global safety strategy for the company. In December, the New York Attorney General's office brought attention to Facebook's cooperation in identifying and disabling the accounts of registered sex offenders. In early 2008, Facebook signed an agreement with 49 Attorneys General to help protect children from online predators. Facebook also participated in the Internet Safety Technical Task Force, a group of Internet businesses, non-profit organizations, academics, and technology experts that worked together to identify effective tools and technologies to create a safer environment on the Internet for youth. In November, the company partnered with MTV on its "A Thin Line" campaign to prevent digital abuse and worked with the BBC to promote its "Bullyproof" campaign to end cyberbullying. Facebook regularly invites safety organizations like the National Crime Prevention Council to blog about safety for its users, and maintains an active campaign of safety outreach to schools and community groups. The company is also a founding member of stopcyberbullying.org, which seeks to combat cyberbullying.

The Facebook Safety Advisory Board comprises five leading Internet safety organizations from North America and Europe that serve in a consultative capacity to the company on issues related to online safety. The organizations on the board are Common Sense Media, ConnectSafely, WiredSafety, Childnet International and The Family Online Safety Institute (FOSI).

OpinionLab Expands Mobile Voice-of-Customer Feedback Technologies

Enhances Market-Leading Customer Feedback Solution for Mobile Devices; Announces Partnership with Usablenet

HIGHLAND PARK, Ill., April 13 -- OpinionLab, the pioneer and leader in voice-of-customer (VOC) listening technologies, today announced the further expansion of its mobile customer-feedback tools to better address the growing need for companies to engage with consumers at anytime, across all channels.  OpinionLab now offers three methods for integrating their intuitive, opt-in feedback solution into mobile websites or apps and is partnering with Usablenet to expand mobile device support. Usablenet has unmatched experience and expertise in creating a seamless mobile experience across multiple, disparate devices, browsers, formats, and technologies regardless of the mobile site content and functionality.

The move represents an important innovation in the company's comment-collection methodology, which was originally patented for Web sites and has since expanded to include feedback collection from all digital and traditional touch points.

"With mobile quickly becoming the 'first screen' for accessing the Internet, consumers are readily using mobile devices to voice their opinions through reviews, social media, and other mobile-ready platforms," said Rand Nickerson, CEO of OpinionLab.  "By capturing customer feedback from mobile touch points, companies encourage consumers to engage with their brands directly, improving goodwill and often eliminating customers' need to address grievances in an open forum."

OpinionLab offers a variety of self-serve solutions for mobile devices, including mobile-optimized comment cards, VOC collection for mobile websites, and an iPhone SDK that enables app developers to easily integrate feedback collection into mobile applications.

"Capturing VOC from mobile touch points presents a new set of challenges for brands as many customer-satisfaction measurement tools don't translate well to a mobile environment," added Rand Nickerson.  "Fortunately, by virtue of its simple, opt-in design, our digital comment-card methodology extends quite naturally to the mobile world. It's a win for consumers and brands alike."

OpinionLab mobile implementations mimic the proven feedback-collection methodology behind the familiar [+] symbol: digital comment cards already clicked on by millions of website users worldwide each month. VOC data flows into the same enterprise reporting suite that hundreds of the world's top brands rely on for real-time feedback collection, interpretation, distribution, and management.

"Brands have recognized the need to extend their Web sites and feedback to their customers' smartphones," said Nick Taylor, President at Usablenet. "We believe that by making their site compatible with all phones via Usablenet Mobile and allowing on-the-go customers to provide feedback with OpinionLab's digital comment card, OpinionLab will encourage a much improved customer experience."

With a ten year track record of success, OpinionLab is the proven leader and innovator in VOC listening technologies. Its [+] symbol is a gateway to the patented, proven feedback methodology currently adopted by hundreds of the world's leading brands, implemented on more than 6,500 Web sites worldwide, and used by millions of consumers each month.

OpinionLab's suite of enterprise VOC solutions delivers customer feedback collection across all customer touch points to support business intelligence, brand management, and customer-experience optimization.
