Zoom It 1.1 for OS X - On-Screen Magnifying Loupe Gains New Features - Published on 03/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Appatit has announced a new version of Zoom It, the virtual magnifying glass for OS X. Zoom It 1.1 offers a larger loupe, simpler toggling between round and rectangular loupes, a one-click way to restore default keyboard shortcuts, and quick access to the app's welcome screen. Zoom It 1.1 provides an on-screen loupe that's always available but never in the way. It's ideal for artists, designers, engineers, photographers, presenters, project collaborators, and those who wear corrective lenses.

Monroe, New York - Appatit has announced Zoom It 1.1 for OS X. The new version of Appatit's popular virtual magnifying glass utility adds the features most requested by users, including:

* Larger loupe available.
* Toggle between round and rectangular loupes with a single keyboard shortcut.
* Activate the welcome screen from your menu bar.
* Restore default keyboard shortcuts with one click.
* Set Zoom It to start up on system startup from the Settings menu.
* Zoom It's screenshot file saving tool automatically remembers the location where you stored your last screenshot.

Zoom It 1.1 allows users to easily view their Mac's screen through a virtual magnifying glass. Ideal for artists, designers, engineers, photographers, presenters, project collaborators, laptop users, and those who wear corrective lenses, Zoom It is a simple Menu Bar item, which for many Mac owners, can significantly enhance the usability of every one of their applications. Far superior in flexibility and convenience to the screen zoom built into OS X, the app's virtual loupe can be sized from 200 pixels to 1250 pixels and magnify on-screen areas up to a maximum of 5x.

The on-screen magnifier in Zoom It is always available to provide a closer look at whatever the user is doing on their Mac. The magnifier, with a circular or rectangular shape, can be effortlessly accessed through simple keyboard shortcuts that do not interfere with any shortcuts, commands, trackpad controls, or mouse buttons the user may be accustomed to. Alternatively, the app's magnifying glass icon in the Menu Bar can open to display a drop-down menu of commands and preferences. Users maintain the ability to click, type, or select inside the magnified area.

Applications with numerous palettes, tools, controls, and design elements, such as drawing, painting, CAD/CAM, 3D graphics & animation, and design & layout software will all benefit from the ability to Zoom It, any time. Project collaborators will especially like the app's feature that allows saving and sharing detailed, close-up screen shots. And presenters will find Zoom It's realistic, on-screen magnifying glass the perfect means of highlighting any part of a screen viewed by an audience. With 5-Star ratings from MacUpdate and HotMacApps, this is one simple, inexpensive utility that every Mac owner should consider acquiring.

Feature Highlights:
* Set the app to open when you start your Mac so that the magnifying loupe is always available but stays hidden until you want to use it
* Use all of your usual keyboard shortcuts, trackpad controls, and mouse clicks at the same time as the loupe
* Show the loupe temporarily with a simple keyboard shortcut
* Keep the temporary loupe on-screen just by holding the Z key, and make it disappear by simply releasing the key
* Use a simple shortcut to make the loupe stay on-screen permanently, without holding the Z key
* Click, type, and select inside the magnified area
* Choose between a round or rectangular loupe
* Quickly change the size of the loupe
* Easily adjust the amount of magnification, up to 500%
* Customize keyboard shortcuts for all Zoom It functions
* Take a screenshot of what the Zoom It loupe is showing (with or without the loupe border)

After doing graphic design for many years, we piled up ideas on how to make life easier on the computer, from the end user's point of view. Zoom It, a simple utility that does one thing very well, has become our flagship app."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.5 or later
* 2.7 MB

Learn and Master Chess Openings with this New App for iPad

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

Learn and Master Chess Openings with this New App for iPad - Published on 03/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Arizona based Cliqueyou today introduces Chess Opening Trainer 1.0, its new educational title for iPad. Chess Opening Trainer builds on the time-tested educational technique of learning by doing. The user trains by playing the exact opening lines he/she wants to learn. The app records the move as the user plays the move. Chess Opening Trainer smartly plays the variations based on which move the user has the most difficulty learning or remembering.

Tempe, Arizona - Cliqueyou has announced the availability of Chess Opening Trainer for iPad on the Apple App Store. Chess Opening Trainer builds on the time-tested educational technique of learning by doing. The user trains by playing the exact opening lines he/she wants to learn.

The development of this app is inspired by what the former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik said about the importance of studying chess openings: "Why do chess players spend so much time studying the openings? Because the initial stage is more crucial now, you might fail in the opening or gain a point."

The traditional method of studying an opening is to pick up a book about one's favorite opening and play the moves and variations over the actual chess board as one reads the book. Many times, one needs an extra chess board to play through the branches. However, one is not able to get tested on how much one learns or remembers from reading the book. The player often finds out at the worst moment. In one of player's tournament games, the player encounters the same variations that he/she has been studying, but forgets the proper continuation.

When reading chess opening books, instead of chess sets, one uses Chess Opening Trainer. The app records the move as the user plays the move. Then, the user trains against the app and try to play through the moves. Chess Opening Trainer smartly plays the variations based on which move the user has the most difficulty learning or remembering. By self-testing like this, the player is assured he has learned the moves. Also, because the moves has been recorded, the player can always at his own convenience (spare time, during train commutes, etc.) review the moves.

In order to jumpstart your learning, free complete sample training books are available based on the printed books of Nigel Davies ('Taming the Sicilian' and 'Play 1e4 e5'), and that of Andrew Greet ('Beating Unusual Chess Defences: 1e4'). More free training books will be available soon. Note: A Box account (free) is required to donwload the sample books.

Supported Languages:
Chess Opening Trainer supports languages in US English, Chinese, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 23.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Chess Opening Trainer 1.0 is $9.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.

Can City Folk Play Country Music? New Oral History App Tests Folk Wi

Can City Folk Play Country Music? New Oral History App Tests Folk Wisdom - Published on 03/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

City slickers can't play country music, or so the folk wisdom held until the first-ever Battle of the Bands at the San Francisco Bluegrass and Old-Time Festival. In post-performance interviews conducted with Memoir Tree, the free oral history app, five city-based bands explained how they wound up battling for the title of the best country roots-music band in the West. Memoir Tree is in the final phase of beta testing, and will be released in March, 2012 to the Apple Store.

San Francisco, California - Urban musicians proved their country credentials at the first-ever Battle of the Bands at the San Francisco Bluegrass and Old-Time Festival. In post-performance interviews, five city-based participating bands explained how they discovered country roots music. All interviews, song clips and photos for this historic contest were captured using Memoir Tree (http://www.memoirtree.com), the free oral history app for iPhone that gives everyone the power to make history.

Winners, Nobody from Nashville: "It started with that George Clooney movie"
First prize went to Nobody from Nashville, a newly formed group of musicians from Oakland, Richmond, and other East Bay towns. "Before the movie [O Brother Where Art Thou], I'd never really heard bluegrass music," admits fiddler Ron Esparza. "There was something very honest about the music, and I loved the vocal harmonies." Guitar player and music teacher Jay Maddox agrees. "In an urban environment, I feel like there's a need to return to music that's more organic," he says. "On the radio...we have music that's so big, it's just music for arenas, really."

Runners-up, West County Cow-Tippers: "Like being in another country"
The winning old-time duo formed just for the event. "We met the old-fashioned way: on the internet," jokes Sonoma-based fiddler Wes Mitchell. Marin guitarist Brian Lamoreaux is a recent convert to country roots music. "In college, I was into a lot of Grateful Dead," he says. "I went to an old-time jam, or pickin' party ... you know, one of those house parties where every nook and cranny of the house was filled with people jamming until four in the morning. It was like being in another country."

Beauty Operators: "I used to play in a heavy metal band"
With their roaring bluegrass cover of '80s hit Tainted Love, San Francisco-based Beauty Operators are hardly purists. "I used to play in a heavy metal band...and then I met this woman Marilyn, who played banjo," recalls guitarist Jeremy Pollock. Fellow band member Perry Spinali came to bluegrass as a classically trained violinist. "A violin comes with some baggage," he says of the competitive symphonic world. "But when you play [bluegrass] music, you realize the voice of your instrument."

East Bay's Bluegrass Deacons: "She's in the 1%/I'm in the 99"
Other bands may have won, but the breakout hit of the battle was the Bluegrass Deacons' lament to an economically star-crossed love, with crowds singing along on the chorus: "She's in the 1%/I'm in the 99." The song features a solo by dobro player Geoff Sargent, who started out as a jazz musician. "Then I went into science," he says. "Thirty-five years later... I went to Grass Valley Bluegrass Festival and found the dobro."Mandolin player TJ Carskadon also followed a winding road to bluegrass. "My grandfather was a banjo player, but ... I listened to punk and studied percussion," he says. "When I moved out here, the drums wouldn't fit in my apartment... and I found out mandolin suits me best.

Berkeley's Lorin Station: "It's dance music"
Winning or losing was beside the point for Berkeley's Lorin Station: they came to make toes tap. "Old-time music to me is about the participation you get, when people smile and move around," says banjo and washboard player Doug Chambers. Guitarist DeeAnna Tibbs cautions that old-time music tends to turn neighbors into bandmates. "It's a very easy kind of music to pick up and play with other people," she says. "It's an amazingly rich and deceptively simple form of music."

About Memoir Tree:
All interviews, song clips and photos for San Francisco Bluegrass and Old-Time Festival's historic first Battle of the Bands were captured using Memoir Tree, the free oral history iPhone app that gives everyone the power to make history. With Memoir Tree, iPhone users can capture history as it happens, and tell, show and share their story with audio and photos.

About the San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival:
The San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival is an all-volunteer, non-profit festival bringing great music to venues across the Bay Area since 1999. Headlining acts hail from across the US, and California's own bluegrass and old-time traditions are supported through local showcases, musicians' workshops and the Bay Area battle of the bands. The Festival is sponsored by the Northern California Bluegrass Society, and underwritten by generous donations from Bay Area music fans.

Memoir Tree is in the final phase of beta testing, and will be released in March, 2012 to the Apple Store; preview releases are available to press upon request.

Can an iPhone game make your kids smarter? Studies show puzzles can

Can an iPhone game make your kids smarter? Studies show puzzles can - Published on 03/05/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Researchers from the University of Chicago have found that children who play puzzle games regularly will perform better in spatial intelligence tests than children who do not. Fast Hatch Apps have just released Jungle Puzzles for Kids 1.1 for iOS, its new game where kids put together pieces of lush jungle scenery. Jungle Puzzles for Kids features 15 beautifully illustrated puzzles of animals like tigers, pandas, geckos, exotic birds, piranhas, and more.

Toronto, ON, Canada - Researchers from the University of Chicago have found that children who play puzzle games regularly will perform better in spatial intelligence tests than children who do not. Psychologist Susan Levine and colleagues recently conducted a study that found 2-4 year-old children, who play with puzzles, have better spatial skills when assessed at 4 1/2 years of age. "The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate and translate shapes," said Levine, a leading expert on mathematics development in young children.". Spatial abilities are directly linked to math abilities.

With devices like iPads and iPhones quickly becoming popular and available in homes and offices, the potential for new educational training games is interesting. Children seem to have a natural inclination for touch interfaces, and parents love letting their kids play and learn on their mobile devices.

One mobile developer, named "Fast Hatch Apps", wants to see if mobile games can help kids learn while having fun. They've recently released a puzzle game called "Jungle Puzzles for Kids", a game where kids put together pieces of lush jungle scenery. The game features 15 beautifully illustrated puzzles of animals like tigers, pandas, geckos, exotic birds, piranhas, and more.

Jungle Puzzles for Kids is:
* Wonderful for children aged 0 - 6
* Has beautiful animal illustrations of tigers, pandas, lizards, and more
* Easy to use and play
* Develops your kids spatial intelligence

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 21.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Jungle Puzzles for Kids 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. The first 4 puzzles for free. The remaining puzzles can be unlocked for only $1.99, a great deal compared to many other apps on the market.

AbiTalk was born in 2011 when Emmy Chen, a software engineer and entrepreneur turned stay-at-home mom, realized that interactive apps could be a powerful tool for teaching her young son reading and phonics. Unlike static workbooks and flashcards, apps give kids instant feedback, keeping them engaged and interested in learning. In addition to reading and phonics apps, AbiTalk offers a range of mobile and online apps designed to assist English and Chinese learners. These apps were inspired by Emmy's own experience: after coming to the United States from China, she learned English in six months in order to attend graduate school in computer science. AbiTalk now offers dozens of apps for learning phonics, reading, arithmetic, and languages - and more are added every month, so kids can keep building their skills without getting bored. AbiTalk's apps are truly kid-approved: Emmy's son and daughter inspire and suggest many of the designs, and they test every app. Copyright (C) 2012

(5 stars) Best Investment... by AppLover07 - After just a limited amount of time using this app it has already helped me to see where I could have made different choices and decisions. The questions at times are challenging, but it makes me dig deep and search myself for answers and honesty. The info this app offers me based on my answers is tremendous and life changing/eye opening. Best investment I made.

(4 stars) Amazing Must Have App for iPad by Joseph Papino - I had originally thought that this app was just for people going through the 12-step process or for people who have addictions. However, after reading the app summary on the product page I quickly learned that this app was intended for anyone to be able to write a life inventory. This app is great and focuses on four primary areas: Writing, Honesty, Support and Prayer. The app does a great job at leading you through each segment and helping you to analyze key events and fears in your life. I had been going through a lot in my life and was having a lot of stress. This app helped me to not only locate why I was feeling the way I was, but helped me to resolve the problem and avoid future similar occurrences. After originally buying this app for the iPhone, I jumped at the opportunity to download it on my iPad as well! The iPad version of this app is great for reading and typing and makes this experience very user friendly. I
highly recommend this app - what a huge cost savings compared to going to counseling/therapy!!

(4 stars) Change your life! By Craig Desmarais - This app is truly helpful in shedding light on what is positively and negatively impacting your life. It can also show you why situations turned out a certain way. In every aspect of your life it can help you analyze where you are at and plan effectively to move on.

(4 stars) Excellent by CoachAli - This app is definitely worth the money. It helped me to better understand why I made some of the choices I did and what I could do differently in the future when I deal with those situations. I would recommend it! Works great on my iPad.

Note: The terms "Life Inventory" and "Moral Inventory" are interchangeable.

Life Inventories Can Help Anyone:
Although originally designed for persons participating in 12-Step programs, it has since been discovered a Moral Inventory can help anyone analyze their life to learn more about themselves than ever imagined possible ... and at only a small fraction the cost of a single visit to a therapist. Examine your reactions to:

* People
* Institutions and Organizations
* Principles, Ideals and Beliefs
* Sources of Anxiety and Excitement
* Fears
* Sex Relations

Background:
The Life Inventory iPad app was created because of the complexity and length of time needed to complete a proper Moral Inventory. When persons working their way through a 12-step program start creating their own moral inventory and discover that some ways of doing a Moral Inventory might require a thousand spreadsheets, the task seems daunting and many never get around to finishing it, thus depriving themselves of the rewards a completed Moral Inventory can provide. This app is an attempt at finding a way to make the task less time consuming, while at the same time helping the user create a valuable asset in their recovery process.

Storage of the Life Inventory data is done using an underlying database which can be backed up and restored as necessary.

Disclaimer - This app is neither officially produced nor approved by Alcoholics Anonymous or any other Addiction Recovery program. From what is known there have been many Moral Inventory spreadsheets circulating unofficially among AA members for at least 50 years in various versions and this app is based on one the developer found to be useful and more comprehensive than most.

Acknowledgement:
Many thanks to "George" and his "Dungeon Prison Complete" spreadsheet which has been used as the outline for this app. This spreadsheet was developed based on years of his own personal research of the AA Big Book, along with help from many others who had already gone through the process of completing their own Moral Inventories. This was done in order to more fully understand the concepts necessary for completing his own Moral Inventory. George's extensive research resulted in the creation of the "Dungeon Prison Complete" spreadsheet, a detailed set of instructions on how to create a Moral Inventory, including several new concepts not directly covered in the AA Big Book: Sources of Anxiety/Excitement as a 4th Category; and a set of Sex Relations exercises. Both of these new elements were discovered to be critical in eventually understanding why we do what we do, the end result of completing your own Moral Inventory.

Anyone, Not Just 12-Steppers, Can Benefit from Completing a Life Inventory:

The process of completing a Life Inventory doesn't directly address addictions specifically, but rather helps the user examine in detail events that have transpired in their life. The Life Inventory app gently assists the user in probing into not only what happened, but also why it happened. The questions asked help the user delve into areas often never considered before like:

* What did I want?
* Why did I want it?
* What am I not admitting?
* What lie did I tell myself? (always present)
* What did I leave out or not say?
* What lie did I tell others?
* Have I ever done the same thing?
* Was it any of my business?
* Were my expectations reasonable?
* What was the real truth?
* What was I not seeing?
* Did I fail to see the facts of the situation?
* What actions did I take to get what I wanted?
* What actions did I omit to get what I wanted?

Sometimes the questions are difficult to answer, but once done, they help provide significant insight into why certain choices were made and, more importantly, determining there are often alternative choices available which will make life so much better in the future.
