Kwalee out-google Google - Published on 02/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The development team at smartphone app company Kwalee has been given the ongoing opportunity to spend 20 percent of their weekly office hours on personal projects. Programmers and artists at Kwalee are given Wednesdays to develop projects of their own choosing, individually or in groups, whilst still working very hard on Kwalee's debut iPhone app, codenamed 'Vegemite', in the remainder of their time. The theory is developed from Google's famous and successful 80/20 time policy.

Leamington Spa, United Kingdom - The development team at smartphone app company Kwalee has been given the ongoing opportunity to spend 20 percent of their weekly office hours on personal projects.

Programmers and artists at Kwalee are given Wednesdays to develop projects of their own choosing, individually or in groups, whilst still working very hard on Kwalee's debut iPhone app, codenamed 'Vegemite', in the remainder of their time.

The theory is developed from Google's famous and successful 80/20 time policy where employees spend 80 percent of their contracted work hours on Google assignments, and the other 20 percent on company-related tasks that interest them.

David Darling, CEO, explains how the free time will benefit the Kwalee workforce.
"Each member of the development team is given a duration of a few months to complete each personal project. We encourage them all to maximise their time management and creative skills enhancing both their productivity as well as the company's."

Kwalee's decision to allow their developers a fifth of their weekly hours motivates the opportunity to build more innovative and exciting apps for the company.

Within the Google team, successful technologies to come out of this method include Gmail, Google News and AdSense.

Darling adds: "We hope this free time improves creative thinking within the development team, in order to develop even more exciting ideas for Kwalee."

The 80/20 rule is properly named the "Pareto Rule", after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto observed that 80% of income in Italy was received by 20% of the Italian population. Numbers proved that 80 percent of outcomes came from 20 percent of the inputs.

Google morphed the "Pareto Rule" into Innovation Time Off (ITO), where 20% of the week focuses on innovation, while the remaining 80% focuses on "core" responsibilities.

A video has been created to reflect on 'Creative Wednesdays' and the benefits it has for Kwalee. This is available on the link below and their YouTube channel, KwaleeTeam.

Now Kwalee has taken the Google principle and added firstly, the focus of time limitation of projects to it so as to achieve even more productivity and creativity. And secondly, adding the active encouragement to do what game developers want to do most; making their own personal game projects, or tweaking existing projects in ways they normally could not. All of which will be reflected in upcoming games.

Transforming Apple Magic Trackpad, Voila - Magic FrogPad Keyboard/Mouse - Published on 02/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Magic FrogPad is a One handed keyboard, either left handed or right handed. Try it. Talk about it. Challenge it. And tell us what you think," says Marroquin. We offer an Apple Magic Trackpad as our Gift. FrogPad is transforming the way you think about interacting with your latest Multi Touch technologies. FrogPad's one handed user interface is easy to use, lets mobile workers be more flexible, and improves efficiencies and safety in many environments.

Houston, Texas - Magic FrogPad becomes available to Mac users. The Magic FrogPad transforms the Apple Magic Trackpad into a keyboard and Numeric keypad and keeps the functionality of the mouse.

"What if you had a new way to interface with your Mac, your Tablet or any Multi Touch Surface? FrogPad is transforming the way you think about interacting with your latest Multi Touch technologies" said FrogPad president Linda Marroquin. FrogPad's one handed user interface is easy to use, lets mobile workers be more flexible, and improves efficiencies and safety in many environments.

FrogPad's move into the tablet space is nothing new. FrogPad interface is a first mover in the "tablet" space. Since its inception, the FrogPad, inherently a one-handed keyboard interface designed to make mobile easier, is squarely focused on the mobility space. Its unique keyboard design takes less space, and requires only one handed use. Tutorials can be found on YouTube, its website and through fun games FrogPad has developed to make learning the new interface fun. Followers from around the world see the value of this new MultiTouch user interface. Globally, FrogPad has been critically acclaimed, and is considered a most successful alternative user interface for all languages and character sets.

"I want people to imagine a world without the QWERTY keyboard, which was developed long before mobile computers were even imagined. The multi-touch capabilities we are releasing with Magic FrogPad transforms the way people develop information. Try it. Talk about it. Challenge it. And tell us what you think," says Marroquin. We offer an Apple Magic Trackpad as our Gift.

"The phone calls and emails that I receive from people around the world are truly inspirational. Whether it is, a technology enthusiast who raves about the ease of using the FrogPad interface with their tablets, or veterans who have lost the use of a hand, our base of users are passionate and dedicated to our platform," says Linda Marroquin. The stories users share move Linda Marroquin to make sure FrogPad continues to be available to everyone.

6.: OfficeTime.net Announces Top 5 Time Killers

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Thu Feb 9, 2012 8:30 am (PST)

OfficeTime.net Announces Top 5 Time Killers - Published on 02/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OfficeTime.net, creator of the popular OfficeTime time and expense tracking software for Windows and Mac computers and iOS devices, recently conducted a survey of working professionals on their Biggest Time Killers. 53% of respondents were business owners, freelancers or executives, while 39% work in professional "white collar" positions. Survey participants were asked to name their top-three time killers. "Email" was named as this year's biggest time killer by 47% of respondents.

London, England - OfficeTime.net, creator of the popular OfficeTime time and expense tracking software for Windows and Mac computers and iOS devices, recently conducted a survey of working professionals on their Biggest Time Killers. 53% of respondents were business owners, freelancers or executives, while 39% work in professional "white collar" positions.

Survey participants were asked to name their top-three time killers. Of all the ways people manage to squander their time each day, "Email" was named as this year's biggest time killer by 47% of respondents.

Other Top 5 Time Killers included Procrastination (42%), Social Networking (36%), Meetings (34%), and Surfing the Internet (30%). Rounding out the Top 10 were non business-related conversations (24%), dealing with computer / technical issues (23%), "bureaucracy / red tape" (19%), travel time / commuting (14%), and playing computer games (10%).

"Time management is really about decision management," says Stephen Dodd, director of OfficeTime.net. "Some people are better able to successfully choose what they do and how much time they spend on it. Some are more apt to be distracted by time killers that get in the way of a productive work day."

To help counteract these Top Time Killers, OfficeTime.net offers its tips for prioritizing how people spend their time each day:

Priority #1. It's important to recognize that while some issues that arise are not known at the beginning of each day, some of the urgent issues in our lives are known right now. Each Monday, take a moment and list the hot, urgent items you know must be done this week.

Priority #2. Priority 2 items are not only business-oriented. Be sure to include time with family, time to work out, time to feed the soul and body. After those items are scheduled, add in firm deadlines for the week - and then block out time before the deadline to work on the project.

Priority #3. All the rest of it. While the inbox is never empty and all the rest must be fit in as well, by going for #1 and #2 priorities first, your own Top Time Killers will be less of a distraction, resulting in more free time and more room for "all the rest."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 4.6 MB

Pricing and Availability:
OfficeTime - Time & Expense Tracking 1.2 is $7.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.

OfficeTime was established in 2003 as a spin-off from Transcena Design of Edmonton, Canada. OfficeTime was developed in response to Transcena's urgent need for an easy-to-use, effective, time-tracking application. Designed and continually improved by the same developers who were relying on it every day, OfficeTime was an immediate success when released to the public. Ideal for anyone who bills by the hour, OfficeTime makes recording and tracking time and expenses simple with a clean, elegant interface. The iPhone and iPad versions focus on ease-of-use, recognizing that if time tracking is simple to do, users will be more likely to take the time to do it.

7.: World's Most Cheerful App Goes Live

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Thu Feb 9, 2012 8:30 am (PST)

World's Most Cheerful App Goes Live - Published on 02/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

It's time to Cheer: the world's first positivity app goes live today. Farhad Mohit, Founder of BizRate.com and Shopzilla, launches Cheers, the first iPhone app built solely to help people express love and appreciation - for anyone, anything, anywhere. Mohit, who sold Shopzilla in 2005 for $569m, brought together an all-star team from Google and StumbleUpon, as Cheerful, inc., in order to create socially powerful apps like Cheers. Cheers aims to be the 'like button' for the world around you.

Los Angeles, California - It's time to Cheer: the world's first positivity app goes live today! Farhad Mohit, Founder of BizRate.com and Shopzilla, launches Cheers, the first iPhone app built solely to help people express love and appreciation - for anyone, anything, anywhere!

Mohit, who sold Shopzilla in 2005 for $569m, brought together an all-star team from Google and StumbleUpon, as Cheerful, inc., in order to create socially powerful apps like Cheers.

Cheers aims to be the 'like button' for the world around you, but more meaningful, because you create, control and give voice to each cheer.

There are over 500,000 iPhone apps. Until now, none of them have focused on celebrating love and appreciation in all its facets - people as well as places and things. Cheers is available for free download now.

And what perfect timing! Valentines Day is around the corner, buzz around Social Media Week is building, and yet research just released by Gallup shows Americans have a deficit in positive thinking!

Where is the love?!
It's where it's always been: in the wonderful people, places and things in our lives. It's just that too often we fail to appreciate and share this fact. Cheers is here to change all that, in a way that is fun, addictive and maybe more than a little contagious.

'Cheers lowers the barrier to expressing love and appreciation, making it fun and easy to do something we all feel, but have never had a dedicated place to openly share before,' says Mohit.

'By offering such a space, it becomes safe to not only cheer the stuff we love, but increasingly the wonderful people in our lives as well. And when we do, those friends, teachers, heroes, and other loved ones, all in turn catch the Cheers bug and begin to share the love in their hearts too. What emerges is a truly beautiful reality: a living, growing chronicle of all the love and joy we're surrounded by every day.'

How it works - 5 steps to a more cheerful life:
* Notice someone or something you want to express love or appreciation for
* Open the Cheers app, snap a picture, add some loving words and share
* Watch as it spreads on Cheers, Facebook, Twitter, via email and on the web
* Feel joy as friends, followers and others appreciate, comment and reciprocate
* Be inspired as you connect to other interesting, cheerful people using Cheers

Simple, yet powerful, it takes less than 30 seconds to create a Cheer. And, the more you cheer, the more 'Cheerfluence' you gain, allowing all to see the positive energy you're creating and sharing with the world.

Example Cheers:
* Delta Wright cheering her daughter Holland
* Gary Craig Ervin cheers on the Sunflower Preschool
* Kai Gradert cheers on the Documentary Urbanized

Macpaw Reinvents the Duplicates Finder With Its New Application Gemini - Published on 02/09/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Today MacPaw releases Gemini, a new Mac-only duplicate finder and cleaner with a rapid scanning algorithm, gorgeous design and remarkable user interface. The company has incorporated in Gemini its user-oriented approach of making extremely easy-to-use yet efficient software solutions. Gemini searches for and removes duplicate files including videos, music, images, documents, using unique rapid algorithms while offering users an incomparably intuitive and beautiful interface.

Kiev, Ukraine - Today MacPaw releases Gemini, a new Mac-only duplicate finder and cleaner with a rapid scanning algorithm, gorgeous design and remarkable user interface.

The company has incorporated in Gemini its user-oriented approach of making extremely easy-to-use yet efficient software solutions. Gemini searches for and removes duplicate files including videos, music, images, documents, using unique rapid algorithms while offering users an incomparably intuitive and beautiful interface. System files are ignored by Gemini to ensure stability of Mac OS X.

Enhanced scanning algorithms allow Gemini to quickly find the biggest duplicates so that a user could stop the scan and instantly clean a considerable amount of space if needed. The app can even find folders which have identical content.

Numerous features like rich built-in preview, full-screen support, core animation, drag-and-drop functionality and wide search and sorting possibilities are implemented in the extremely easy-to-use interface that will be clear for any Mac user.

With the Auto Select feature Gemini introduces a brand-new and revolutionary way of cleaning duplicates in Mac OS X. It allows user to avoid manual and boring selection of duplicates and perform this operation with a click of a button. Auto Select automatically selects duplicates by analyzing their parameters like name, location, extension, dates of creation and modification, etc. Files identified as original copies are kept safe. If the algorithm cannot choose what instance of a file is duplicated, it leaves all of them at the user's disposal.

"Everything started from an idea to create a simple one purpose application for removing duplicate files on a Mac. We made a research on what utility apps lack for and found that most of them might be more personal, usable and are not perfectly designed like day-to-day apps. So we created Gemini, the first application that brings perfection of a user interface and design to the utilities category. Gemini is a simple, fast and entertaining solution for finding duplicates, a task that once was considered boring and time-consuming", said Oleksandr Kosovan, MacPaw's CEO.

To make the experience of using Gemini even more distinctive and engaging, the process of removing duplicates was spectacularly visualized. Files are being shredded in such an amusing animated way that users might want to intentionally create and shred their duplicates.
As a software solution Gemini will satisfy any Mac user that is looking for really fast and simple duplicate finder with user-friendly and beautiful interface.

System Requirements and Prices:
Gemini 1.0.1 requires an Intel based Macintosh, Mac OS X 10.7 or greater and 10MB of hard disk space. On its launch Gemini is available at a discounted price of $4.99 (USD) exclusively from the Mac App Store. The regular price is $9.99 (USD).

"Using their puzzles not only means that we can provide high-quality content accessible to players at all levels, but also that we can ensure fresh puzzles are available every single day!"

Sudoku Party includes puzzles graded as easy, medium and hard to provide both a daily fix to casual players and a significant challenge to more accomplished puzzlers.

The competitive online mode uses puzzles classed as "ultra easy" to make sure players don't get stumped and to keep the action moving quickly.

"We've never seen anything like this", said Conceptis CEO Dave Green. "Lightwood has found a brand new way to play Sudoku. They've taken our simplest puzzles, which were intended to be training levels for new players, and made them into a crazy online game that gets my pulse racing!"

The app features a number of customisable gameplay options, and a polished, user-friendly interface, tuned for both iPhone and iPad screen sizes.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.1 or later
* 4.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Sudoku Party 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. It is supported by in-game advertising, which can be removed for a fee using in-app purchase.

16.: X-Ray Effect 1.0 for iOS - Live Video X-Ray Effect on Any iDevice Ca

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Fri Feb 10, 2012 3:01 am (PST)

X-Ray Effect 1.0 for iOS - Live Video X-Ray Effect on Any iDevice Camera - Published on 02/10/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Grat Crabtree today introduces X-ray Effect 1.0 for camera-equipped iOS devices, his Entertainment app that produces the illusion of X-ray vision. A nostalgic artifact of the 1950's, comic books have sold novelties claiming to be X-ray glasses for more than 50 years. Like those cardboard eyeglasses, X-ray Effect actually produces the illusion of X-ray vision in live video on the iDevice screen. A worthy addition to any iPhone owner's collection of party Apps, it is sure to "amaze your friends."

Encinitas, California - Grat Crabtree today is pleased to introduce X-ray Effect 1.0 for camera-equipped iOS devices, his Entertainment app that produces the illusion of X-ray vision. A nostalgic artifact of the mid-1900's, comic books have sold novelties claiming to be X-ray glasses for more than 50 years. Like those cardboard eyeglasses, X-ray Effect actually produces the illusion of X-ray vision in live video on the iDevice screen. X-ray Effect is a worthy addition to any iPhone owner's collection of party Apps, and it is sure to "amaze your friends."

Feature Highlights:
* Hold your hand in front of you with strong backlighting and spread your
fingers
* Launch X-ray Effect and see the complete skeletal structure of your hand
* X-Ray effect is visible as live video on the iDevice screen
* Loads of laughs and a surefire icebreaker at any party!

There was always the subtle suggestion that the dollar X-ray glasses in comic books could not only provide the user with a miraculous view of the subject's skeletal structure, but also allow the user to see through the clothing of attractive women. The app's Start screen is a near exact copy of those old ads, "Amazing, Illusory 'X-ray' Vision instantly! A hilarious, laughingly funny illusion," accompanied by a cartoon drawing of the famous prankster wearing his X-ray glasses, complete with decorative lightning bolts and an X-ray view of his hand before him.

According to the App Store description, X-Ray Effect allows the user to, "Amaze your friends! Live video! This App is the only App that reproduces the effect of the X-Ray Specs that have been sold in comic books for over 50 years! Imagine � you hold your hand in front of you, fingers spread, towards a strong light source. You seem to be able to look right through the flesh and see the bones underneath. You won't believe your eyes! A fantastic illusion! Loads of laughs and a surefire icebreaker at any party!"

And it's all true. The app modifies the image of a strongly backlit hand with fingers spread, and it interpolates the bright glow surrounding each finger into a translucent outline surrounding each finger. Enclosed within this outline is a light gray finger with a distinct, black bone running through its center. The black skeleton moves as the hand moves and can be seen as a live video effect. Bring all the fingers together, however, and the effect disappears, apparently reliant upon the strong backlight to produce the effect.

"Prove to your friends that the app craze has not gone too far with this must-have software that provides the illusion of X-ray vision," stated Grat Crabtree. "GPS, SMS, VOiP, 3G, HDR, and now X-Ray."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch (camera-equipped)
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 0.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
X-Ray Effect 1.0 is $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Entertainment category.

17.: Pico Spend - Expense Tracker 1.10 for iOS - Fast, Calculator Style I

Pico Spend - Expense Tracker 1.10 for iOS - Fast, Calculator Style Input - Published on 02/10/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie Developer Dejan Petrovski today announces Pico Spend - Expense Tracker 1.10 for iOS, an update to his Finance app that offers a fast, calculator style input plus reports and analysis. Designed to provide the utmost in speed and convenience, the app features customizable expense categories, accessible from a scrolling choice of buttons. With easy to understand screens for Entry, Editing, Reports, and Comparison Reports, Pico Spend blends high-speed operation with powerful offline functions.

Skopje, Macedonia, The Former Yugoslav Republic Of - Independent Developer Dejan Petrovski today is pleased to announce Pico Spend - Expense Tracker 1.10 for iOS, an update to his Finance app that offers a fast, calculator style input plus easy to use reports and analysis. Designed to provide the utmost in speed and convenience, the app features 29 expense presets accessible from a rapidly scrolling choice of buttons and completely customizable. With easy to understand screens for Entry, Editing, Reports, and Comparison Reports, Pico Spend blends high-speed operation with powerful functions that never require an Internet connection (except to export Reports by email).

The problem with expense trackers is that the good ones have a steep learning curve and require elaborate setup and entry procedures, and the bad ones are easier to learn, but do not offer comparative reports and other useful tools. With Pico Spend, even those who have difficulty balancing their checkbook can start tracking their expenses from the moment they first launch the app. Then, after they have been using the app to conveniently enter expenses, they can analyze their spending using a table view, bar graph, pie chart, and PDF reports.

Daily use is quick and easy, as the app defaults to the Entry screen at launch. The scrolling five-button display to the left of the large keypad contains 29 preset categories (Bills, Car, Coffee, Groceries, Rent, Restaurants, etc.) to choose from, and then the user enters the amount. Optionally, budgeters can tap a button to add a note to any expense item. The save button stores the entry and clears the input screen. Any entry can be edited or deleted from the Editing (Daily Bills) screen, which displays a scrolling list of all expenses from the past 10 days (configurable). To get a quick glimpse of the total amount spent in the past few days (a user selectable Green Period), the user simply does a tap and hold on the big green button on the Entry screen. Those who do not know the tap and hold will be unable to peek at the users spending.

The app has an opportunity to display some computational muscle when the user touches the Reports button. Report summaries can be done by the Day, Week, Month, or Category of expense, and can include a table, bar, or pie chart. Touch the PDF button to generate a bank statement-like document in neat rows and columns, which can be printed from the iDevice or exported from within the app by email. Pico Spend also does currency conversion if enabled, and addition of new expense categories or deletion of old presets. Finally, the user can specify two different periods and generate a Comparison Report summary, which is particularly valuable when reviewing finances.

Feature Highlights:
* Quick and intuitive entry/edit of expenses
* Completely customizable expense categories
* List of expenses grouped daily
* Drill-down and graphical summary reports
* Option to define a comparison period for parallel analysis with the current reporting period
* Create, email and print PDF reports from within the app
* Alternate currency conversion
* CSV export of spending and expense categories data

According to developer Dejan Petrovski, "Pico Spend features a calculator-like screen specially designed for fast and easy entry of your expenses: choose the expense category, enter the amount, tap Save and you're done!"

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 2.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Pico Spend - Expense Tracker 1.10 is $1.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Finance category. Review copies are available on request.

Brainium Studios creates the best Spider Solitaire App for iPhone - Published on 02/10/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Portland Based Brainium Studios today introduces Spider Solitaire 1.0, their new gaming title for iOS devices. Spider Solitaire is a simple and extremely popular variation of the classic card game where the goal is to build stacks of cards of descending suit sequence from King to Ace. Brainium gave Spider Solitaire, one of the most popular solitary card games in the world, a fresh modern look, and wove it into the classic gameplay that everyone loves.

Portland, Oregon - Making Apps for iPhone and iPad is a multi-billion dollar industry and everyone is out to create the next must-have App. The key to making it in such a competitive industry is to be creative and create the most unique Apps possible, right? Well, not exactly. Brainium Studios, a software developer based in Portland Oregon, has set out to tackle one of the most flooded fields in the iTunes App Store and Android Market- Solitaire.

With thousands of similar titles already doing well in both markets, it may seem like a suicide mission to some; but in just three short months, Brainium's Solitaire has become the No.1 paid Solitaire App in the Android Market and the fastest growing Solitaire App in the iTunes App store. So how did they make the best Solitaire App for the iPhone and iPad?

The answer is simple, Brainium's Solitaire includes everything you need to play the game, and nothing you don't. By simply providing users with a great Solitaire App and no filler, Brainium's Solitaire App has quickly earned countless reviews in the iOS App Store claiming it's, "The best Solitaire App for iPhone." Now Brainium has taken its tried and true formula and used it to create the best Spider Solitaire App in the iTune App Store.

Brainium designed every aspect of its Spider Solitaire - from the gorgeous deck and card shadows, to the one touch card movement - to make it the best Spider Solitaire game on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (Even better than the Windows Spider Solitaire!).

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent software developer Reggie Ashworth today announces AppDelete 3.2.3, an update to his popular application deletion utility for Mac OS X.

"Ruby's Studio" was created to provide a beautiful, gentle, fun, and much-needed alternative to current programming and products for young children. Through "A Little Book About Feelings" mobile book app, "We are motivated to reach a generation of children to help them become more communicative, cooperative, and self aware," said The Mother Company President, Samantha Kurtzman-Counter.

To download any of the PicPocket Books apps, please visit the iTunes App Store and search for 'PicPocket Books.' PicPocket Books offer parents and their kids an alternative to flashy, and sometimes violent, fast-paced video games. Their book apps have some simple animations and/or interactive hot spots to encourage exploration and engagement. Overall, they strive to remain quite faithful to the original books with their apps and want to be careful not to obscure the reading experience with too much interactivity. They champion books and reading aloud to kids, and see bookapps as supplements, not replacements, for print books and the valuable time parents can spend reading with their kids. If having kids' books available on mobile devices means more exposure to stories
and enthusiasm for reading for kids, then that is a success! Copyright (C) 2009-2012 PicPocket Books. All Rights Reserved. Apple, the Apple logo, iPhone, iPod and iPad are registered trademarks of Apple Inc. in the U.S. and/or other countries.
