Ripley, United Kingdom - Arten Science have released the long awaited R10Cipher 5. R10Cipher takes text or files and encrypts them using up to 384 bit Blowfish encryption. These files can be Word files, Excel files, MP3 files - almost any kind of file. R10Cipher 5 incorporates all the great features our customers have asked us for. Simple but powerful true Cross Platform File, Document, Text and Email Encryption / Decryption tool. True Drag and Drop Document Encryption.

Your text can be encrypted and sent as an email directly from R10Cipher 5. Only the recipient in possession of the Shared Secret can read the contents.

R10Cipher 5 supports batch encryption by 'drag and drop' to make encryption fast and painless, even when dealing with dozens of files. As R10Cipher 5 does not require installation you can, for example, copy the Mac, Windows and Linux versions of R10Cipher 5 to a USB drive along with your encrypted documents and files. Your documents and files are secure, but available *whenever* and *wherever* you require them.

New Apple Mac Trojan Called OSX/Crisis Discovered by Intego Virus Team - Published on 07/24/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A new Apple Mac Trojan called OSX/Crisis has been discovered by Intego, the Apple security specialist. This Trojan horse has not been found in the wild, but it exhibits some anti-analysis and stealthing techniques that are uncommon among OS X malware. This threat works in OSX versions 10.6 and 10.7 - Snow Leopard and Lion and installs without need of any user interaction; no password is required for it to run. VirusBarrier X6 protects users from this malware.

Bellevue, Washington - Intego Security Memo - A new Apple Mac Trojan called, OSX/Crisis, has been discovered by the Intego Virus Team.

Malware:
OSX/Crisis

Risk:
Low; this malware has not yet been found in the wild. It does install itself without user permission, and hides itself well if installed with root permission.

Description:
Intego has discovered a new Trojan horse, Crisis, which is a Trojan dropper. This Trojan horse has not been found in the wild, but it exhibits some anti-analysis and stealthing techniques that are uncommon among OS X malware.

This threat works only in OSX versions 10.6 and 10.7 - Snow Leopard and Lion. It installs without need of any user interaction; no password is required for it to run. The Trojan preserves itself against reboots, so it will continue to run until it's removed. Depending on whether or not the dropper runs on a user account with root permissions, it will install different components. It remains to be seen if or how this threat is installed on a user's system; it may be that an installer component will try to establish root permissions.

If the dropper runs on a system with root access, it will drop a rootkit to hide itself. In either case, it creates a number of files and folders to complete its task; 17 files when it's run with root access, 14 files when it's run without. Many of these are randomly named, but there are some that are consistent.

With or without root access, this file is installed:
*/Library/ScriptingAdditions/appleHID/Contents/Resources/appleOsax.r

Only with root access, these files are installed:
*/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.mdworker_server.xpc/Contents/MacOS/com.apple.mdworker_server

*/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.mdworker_server.xpc/Contents/Resources/

The backdoor component calls home to the IP address 176.58.100.37 every 5 minutes, awaiting instructions. The file is created in a way that is intended to make reverse engineering tools more difficult when analyzing the file. This sort of anti-analysis technique is common in Windows malware, but is relatively uncommon for OS X malware.

Means of protection:
VirusBarrier X6 protects users from this malware with malware definitions dated July 24, 2012 or later. VirusBarrier X6's real-time scanner will detect the file when it is downloaded, and its Anti-Spyware protection will block any connections to remote servers if a user has installed the Trojan horse. VirusBarrier Express and VirusBarrier Plus, available exclusively from the Mac App Store, detect this malware with malware definitions dated July 24, 2012 or later, but these programs do not have a real-time scanner due to limitations imposed by the Mac App Store; users should scan their Macs after they have updated to the latest malware definitions, or manually scan any installer packages they have downloaded if they seem suspicious.

Tattoo Fonts Let You Make Your Mark With New Ink-Inspired Type Design - Published on 07/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LA based type foundry, Aerotype has released a unique new tattoo inspired script font family called Keepsake. Designed by Stephen Miggas, the five member type family can be combined and overlapped to provide a wide range of creative options. Behind Keepsake's exterior resides an edgy set of OpenType font technology features including contextual characters and ligatures, discretionary characters and stylistic alternates, affording the typesetter creative flexibility and versatility.

Los Angeles, California - Los Angeles, California - LA based type foundry, Aerotype has released a unique new tattoo inspired script font family called Keepsake(TM). Designed by Stephen Miggas, the five member type family can be combined and overlapped to provide a wide range of creative options.

Behind Keepsake's edgy exterior resides an edgy set of OpenType(R) font technology features including contextual characters and ligatures, discretionary characters and stylistic alternates, affording the typesetter creative flexibility and versatility. Each face includes three options for every capital letter and multiple lowercase options, including for example, special characters that automatically substitute-in at the ends of words. Other features include four swashy decorative elements and optional old-style figures accessible by supporting application's OpenType menu.

"Not only is Aerotype's Keepsake a tattoo-inspired display face - it's a tidy looking copperplate script in its own right." notes Grant Hutchinson of Typedia, "The five font flavours provide countless possibilities for layering and combining the engraved, shadow, drop, and filled variations."

The Keepsake Drop Shadow version can be used in conjunction with the other family members, and colored separately if desired. All five fonts support Latin, Eastern European and Baltic languages. As the name suggests, Keepsake strives to be a treasured member of any type collection.

"Keepsake has evolved considerably over the past few years as I tried to balance the formality of classic penmanship with the edgy look and feel of a script one might find in a tattoo studio." Miggas explains, "My intention, and hope is that designers find it appropriate for all kinds of script use not just limited to projects in the tattoo genre."

Pricing and Availability:
Keepsake can be purchased and downloaded from the Aerotype web site as a family or a la carte. There is also a type specimen PDF that details features, extra characters and other goodies. Information on new Aerotype releases and special font offers can be found on the company's Twitter and Facebook pages.

Snappa 2.0.2 for iOS: Guess the Drawing in 2-Player, Social Sharing Game - Published on 07/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The-i today announces Snappa 2.0.2 for iOS, an update to their game playable in 10 languages, where 2 players try to guess the drawing made by their opponent. Players draw something or snap or open a photo, then draw on it, tracing its details. If the photo is optionally removed, only the drawing remains. The player identifies the drawing with a single word, and his or her opponent must guess the word associated with the drawing from 12 lettered tiles. Players then reverse roles.

Exeter, United Kingdom - The-i today is pleased to announce Snappa 2.0.2 for iOS, an update to their game playable in 10 different languages, where two online players try to guess the content of drawings made by their opponent who speaks their language and who uses native characters and words. With unlimited rounds to a game, players can draw something for their friends. If their drawing skills are not great, or it takes their fancy, they could alternatively shoot or open a photo, then draw on it, tracing its details. When the photo is optionally removed, only the drawing remains. The player identifies the drawing with a single word, and his or her opponent must correctly guess the word associated with the drawing from 12 lettered tiles. When the drawing is received, players find out the number of letters in the word they are guessing, plus which 12 letters they have to work with. Once the drawing is correctly identified, or the player gives up, players reverse roles.

Snappa is Words with Friends in pictures. To create a new game, players can email an invitation generated by the game, allow the game server to pair them with a random opponent, contact someone already registered to play Snappa, or contact a Facebook Friend. Players can participate in multiple, simultaneous, 2-player games, receiving alerts as each of their games progresses. The Snappa online server, which connects players during gameplay, provides fast responses. Registration to become a Snappa player is free.

Feature Highlights:
* Turn-based game for 2 online players
* Supports words and letters in 10 different languages
* Draw something or trace a photo, remove the photo, and send the drawing to your opponent
* Players must identify each drawing they receive using 12 letter tiles
* Play multiple, simultaneous 2-player games
* Play in your native language against opponents who speak your language - Words and Tile pieces have native characters
* Powerful drawing tools
* Magic Wand optionally removes the photo, leaving only the drawing
* Share your masterpiece with your friends or the world by posting it to Facebook or Twitter or send it by email or as an actual printed postcard in the mail

When creating a drawing, players can draw something or snap a new photo, or open a saved photo. The app includes a brush with different thickness settings, and a choice of six different colors. There is also an eraser tool with different sizes and a magic wand that removes the photo, but preserves the drawing. The game offers hints in the form of bombs, which destroy the letter tiles that are not needed to spell the word. Each new player receives 50 gold coins and 10 bombs when they register to play. Gold coins, won during gameplay, can be redeemed for more vibrant colors or additional bombs as players use up their initial supply.

"Want to draw something a little more specific?" asked Irfaan Jhetam of The-i. "Simply snap a photo, or select one from your photo gallery. You can share it as it is for a friend to guess, or trace it and remove the background photo so that your opponent only sees your drawing masterpiece."

Language Support:
* English, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Thai, Hindi and Korean (More languages to follow)

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

WMF Converter Pro 3.2.1 - Mac OS X Windows Metafile Image Converter - Published on 07/25/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cristallight Software announces WMF Converter Pro 3.2.1 for Mac OS X, an update to their Windows Metafile (WMF) image converter and viewer application. This professional level image tool renders and converts single or multiple WMF (Windows Metafile) and EMF (Enhanced Metafile) images. Users can preview and change colors in vector-based WMF/EMF files, and save as Mac native images in one of 10 file formats. The update includes an improved UI and EMF image conversion functionality.

Palatine, Illinois - Cristallight Software today is pleased to announce WMF Converter Pro 3.2.1 for Mac OS X, an update to their Windows Metafile (WMF) image converter and viewer application. This professional level image tool allows users to render and convert single or multiple WMF (Windows Metafile) and EMF (Enhanced Metafile) images, preview them, change colors in vector-based WMF/EMF files, and save either all of them, or selected items as Mac native images in one of 10 file formats, including both vector and raster formats. The update includes an improved UI and EMF image conversion functionality.

A metafile is simply a file format capable of storing different types of data. It can be a graphics file that contains either a pixel or vector-based information. A pixel is a unit of measurement for graphics using a pattern of dots per square inch. The number of pixels in an image remains the same whether the image is enlarged or shrunken, so that in order to get a better image, the pixel density must be increased. Vector graphics eschew discrete pixels for mathematical descriptions of shapes, which makes this graphics format resolution independent. Vector graphics can be easily re-sized without loss of detail. These graphic are preferred in high-resolution images because of their flexibility and performance in maintaining a visibly sound picture.

Feature Highlights:
* Render and convert single or multiple WMF and EMF images on a Mac
* Navigate through WMF and EMF images using navigation keys and keyboard shortcuts
* View WMFs and EMFs at different magnifications
* Convert Mac WMF files to vector formats
* Convert WMF files to most common raster formats with multiple resolutions
* Batch convert images or folders with WMF/EMF files
* Multiple WMF and EMF files processing
* WMF image information display
* Replace colors feature in vector based WMFs
* Export images to PDF, EPS, BMP, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, TIFF and other image formats
* Export WMF and EMFs as Mac ICNS files
* Multiple export buttons
* Customizable image preview size, and export folder hierarchy

In Windows, many graphics and forms are stored and exchanged as Windows Metafiles, or Enhanced Metafiles (WMF or EMF). In Mac OS X these same graphics and forms are saved as PDFs. Mac users cannot preview WMF or EMF files unless they are opened in a Microsoft application, such as Word or PowerPoint. WMF Converter Pro solves this problem by providing an easy and effortless software conversion, eliminating frustrating and time-consuming conversion issues.

The product interface is easy and intuitive, allowing users to accomplish WMF/EMF file conversions in just a few simple steps. To convert a WMF or EMF on a Mac, users choose one of the export formats and select the Convert option or press the Convert button. The export resolution can be changed under Mac WMF Converter export options. Users may also set the default destination format, and the default location for the converted files. Converting many documents at a time can also be accomplished with batch conversion. To batch convert images, users simply click the Save All button.

To choose the specific file or files a user wishes to convert, users may navigate through WMF and EMF images using navigation keys and keyboard shortcuts. Users may view WMFs and EMFs at different zoom magnifications, convert Mac WMF files to vector formats, or to the most common raster formats with different resolutions, batch convert images or folders with WMF/EMF files, replace colors in vector based WMFs, and more. WMF Converter Pro features advanced exporting options to export images to PDF, EPS, BMP, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, TIFF and other image formats, and export WMF and EMFs as Apple Icon Image Format files (ICNS). With multiple export buttons and WMF and EMF file processing, this software features customizable image preview sizes and an export folder hierarchy, facilitating easy exporting.

"Save time, money and effort with this simple Mac Windows metafile image converter and viewer," stated Cristallight Software's Don Kurt. "Convert and view files easily with WMF Converter Pro."

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 or later
* Ready for Mac OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
* 16 MB of hard disk drive space

Pricing and Availability:
WMF Converter Pro 3.2.1 is $19.95 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and is available directly or through the Mac App Store in the Graphics & Design category. Free trial downloads are available.

First published in January of 1902 by Henry Haven Windsor, Popular Mechanics was an immediate success. According to Hearst Publications, "Windsor�s plan to deliver scientific and mechanical developments with straightforward language and helpful illustrations capitalized on a century hurtling with exponential speed toward stunning technical achievement. From its inception to its current iteration, the magazine has broken news of everything from the dirigible, wireless telegraph and cars to television, nukes and iPhones." Vintazines provides instant, wireless access to every monthly issue from December 1904 to November 1969. The magazine's current circulation is 1.2 million.

Articles, editorials, feature stories, news, and ads all document the history of twentieth century technology, and convey it within a palpable historical context. Readers can enjoy reliving the introduction of new technologies and products as it was experienced by members of the culture of the time. These classic magazines capture key moments in the development of our technology-dependent society, such as the introduction of the sound film, atom bomb, digital computer, color television, transistor radio, and stereo sound.

The most important photojournalism magazine of the twentieth century, LIFE magazine began publishing in November 1936. According to Time LIFE, "Most magazines are built around editors and writers, but LIFE has historically been built around photographers. Being a LIFE photographer is one of the most glamorous jobs in the profession, and it attracts the best in the world. To support the photographers, LIFE has always assembled a conglomeration of special talents and trained them to meet the magazine�s many special needs: reporters who work with photographers to line up a story, writers who can cram the necessary information into text blocks and short captions, picture editors, designers, art directors and department editors. All of them with one aim: pictures, pictures, pictures. But LIFE of course does more than present discrete photographic moments. The magazine was also a pioneer when it came to telling stories in still images. LIFE, in effect, created the photo-essay."

Readers of vintage LIFE magazines can enjoy it as a historical document, for the artistry of its photography, and for the remarkable narratives in its pages. As a forerunner of television news programming and modern Internet new services, at the height of its popularity in the 1940's LIFE sold more than 13.5 million copies a week. The American experience is captured in pictures in LIFE, and Vintazines includes every issue from November 1936 to December 1969.

"It's one thing to read about World War II in a history book, but it's something completely different to read about it as it was happening in vintage magazines," commented independent developer Stefano Secondo. "There's a treasure trove of insight, history, inspiration, and knowledge in these back issues of Popular Mechanics and LIFE, and Vintazines provides the ideal key."
