This revolutionary iPhone and iPad app has helped a whole slew of people prepare with confidence for their next job interview by simulating an actual job interview.

Huntington Beach, California - For a limited time only, Mock Job Interview(TM) is being offered on the iTunes App Store for 99 cents. This revolutionary iPhone and iPad app has helped a whole slew of people prepare with confidence for their next job interview by simulating an actual job interview. This app has a compilation of some of the toughest, most commonly asked interview questions and utilizes the iPhone or iPad's built-in video recording feature to capture all aspects of the user's answer to each question - everything from the answer itself to the person's facial expression and tone of voice.

To make the app experience even more realistic, all questions presented to the user are random and cannot be chosen beforehand. After each question is answered in video format and saved to the app's "Saved Interviews" page, videos can be replayed for self-review or can be shared via Facebook or e-mail to receive valuable feedback from others.

"Without seeing ourselves in action, it is difficult to pinpoint exactly which mistakes we make during a job interview or understand what makes us look silly, inexperienced, or unprepared. However, when we can see our flaws for ourselves and prepare in a setting that accurately replicates an actual job interview, we can master the art and science of a successful job interview. We believe Mock Job Interview(TM) can help job seekers blow away the competition, which is crucial for landing those hard-to-come-by jobs," says co-founder Janet Ferguson.

The custom interface of Mock Job Interview(TM) makes it not only professional in appearance, but also extremely easy to use. At 99 cents, this is an invaluable tool for job seekers. Mock Job Interview(TM) was developed with the belief that in today's tough job market we need more than a great resume to land that dream job.

With Mock Job Interview(TM), job seekers can now polish up on both verbal and non-verbal skills to help them ace their next interview.

BitsAbound Inc. announces iCorpPass-Domain Password Reminder and Change - Published on 08/06/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BitsAbound announces that iCorpPass is the only app that allows a corporate user to change Windows Domain Password directly from iPhone, iPad and the iPod touch, any time of the day and from anywhere. At the same time, iCorpPass also sets reminders to notify 7, 3 and 1 days before the password expires. iCorpPass is one of those applications that can help millions of users and the thousands of IT departments secure and manage the most important aspect of their corporate digital identities.

Santa Clara, California - BitsAbound Inc, an emerging leader in IT based mobile applications, has announced its latest offering, iCorpPass. iCorpPass - also known as "Windows Domain Password Change and Reminder", assist corporate users receive password expiry notifications as well as change the password directly from the comfort of the device.

IT Consumerization has brought numerous challenges to the IT Team in an organization, in terms of device management, security and other myriad issues to deal with. But at the same time, it has brought forth unique and disruptive innovations to tackle those same issues. We believe iCorpPass is one of those applications that can help millions of users and the thousands of IT departments secure and manage the most important aspect of their digital identities.

In a typical office with windows computers joined to an Active Directory domain, users received password notifications, and could change their corporate passwords directly from Windows computers. However, with the new IT consumerization wave, that includes cloud and web based applications, new devices running on different platforms and different form factors, users have become more mobile and agile. It has allowed them the freedom to perform the tasks from anywhere and anytime. The new work force is also more technology savvy and prefers self service over old traditional method of depending on IT for administrative tasks.

With iCorpPass, a user can directly login to the corporate domain from the personal iPhone,iPad or iPad Touch device. The app automatically calculates the password expiry date and set notifications on the device to remind 1,3 and 7 days before password expires. Now a user does not have to call HelpDesk to set password nor share their preferred passwords with them. They can change it on their own, securely and intimately from anywhere using their own personal devices. It is time for them to really dispose of that Active Directory Domain connected windows computer maintained just for password changes.

One the other hand, IT departments still invest huge time and resources to manage user's password reset and expiry. Remote workers and those who are on the move present even greater challenges. In some organizations, even users working within the corporate offices may not have the precise setup to receive notifications and options to change the password without IT intervention. We have seen IT departments manage Password reset kiosks running windows computers to help users change their passwords. A remote user working on VPN has to regularly sync the windows computers to maintain the ability to change passwords. IT Helpdesk members spend substantial time troubleshooting issues where users do not receive notifications nor can change passwords.

With the release of iCorpPass, we believe, this app would be a great tool for every organization that uses Active Directory as the central repository for user accounts and permissions. It would not only provide the freedom and ease that a modern users demands, but also help IT departments with their password reset and maintenance chores.

Features:
* Ability to change password 24x7, and automatically sets notifications 7, 3 and 1 days before the password expires
* Ability to change password even when "password has expired" OR "User must change password at next logon" option is set
* Automatic Discovery of Domain Controllers used for password change operations
* Securely communicates with corporate Domain Controllers using Kerberos encryption
* Only allows passwords that meet the complexity, length and other password requirements set by the corporation domain policy

Device Requirements:
* iOS 4.3 or later
* iPhone, iPod touch and iPad
* 2.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Windows Domain Password Change And Reminder 2.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Business category.

Featuring barcode scanning for effortless input, this app allows users to organize records of their inventory, track warranty information, export and share inventory lists for insurance purposes, perform online price checks, quickly contact manufacturers and merchants, and much more. The update to this comprehensive application features support for lending and borrowing of items, product expiration tracking, batch editing, and user interface enhancements.

Nest Egg - Inventory is simple and easy to use. While other inventory apps involve a learning curve, Nest Egg - Inventory is designed for the computer novice with an easy-to-navigate and intuitive interface.

Feature Highlights:
* Easy entry with barcode scanning, autofill of product information, and batch editing
* Organized records with serial number, warranty information, and contact information of manufacturer and seller

Users add items to Nest Egg with a simple scan of an item's barcode, or by keying in an item's barcode. Product information will be filled in automatically. Users may also type in all information with ease. Once entered, important information including an item's name, description, manufacturer, model, barcode, serial number, lot number, category, location, quantity, seller, purchase price, purchase date, warranty period, product expiration, replacement cost and notes is linked to each item. This makes it very easy for individuals, business owners, and inventory managers to obtain important inventory information for personal or business use.

Nest Egg - Inventory is an effective, comprehensive tool for organizing records and tracking warranty. Users can be assured that, should something break down, they will not be left without warranty repair. Generating and sharing inventory lists for insurance purposes is fast and convenient. With a database of item serial numbers, warranty information, and manufacturer and seller contact information, they will be prepared if there is a loss due to breakage, theft, fire or flood. The app features warranty tracking that generates alerts for product warranty expiration and product return expiration, facilitating repairs before a warranty expires and returns prior to return expiration.

Tracking borrowed or loaned items can be a frustrating experience. Nest Egg - Inventory solves the question of to whom an item was loaned. More than a simple database of the items a user owns, this app is an intuitive inventory management tool that allows users to access item information as well as locate items loaned to or from others. Users can designate who they have loaned an item to or borrowed an item from by entering a borrower or lender's name and contact information. Users may also enter the date borrowed, date due, and any relevant notes, and be reminded when the time comes to return the item.

Seeing a need for a user-friendly, comprehensive inventory application, the team at Winprogger built Nest Egg - Inventory for themselves, and use it every day. Often imitated by other apps and always on the forefront of technology advances, Nest Egg - Inventory introduced barcode scanning before any other home inventory app in the App Store. Nest Egg is available in 13 languages including German, French, Chinese, Japanese, Italian and Spanish.

Seoul, Republic Of Korea - CkZero today is pleased to announce RiverBoy_HD 2.02 for iOS, an update to their 3D Action/Arcade game that features 66 different characters, 22 weapons, and 101 levels of play. Employing the latest AI and game/graphics engines, players control Zero, an 18 year old boy who fights to save his planet. The game uses 4-way tilt control to let players move Zero as he stands astride his rocket cycle, and main and auxiliary weapons buttons are on the lower right. Extremely challenging, players must employ the appropriate weapon to defeat each monster robot. The game is an explosion of imaginative characters, worlds, and weapons in a 3D, anime-style, game-playing universe.

A whirling mashup of Avatar, Star Wars, and Akira, the world of RiverBoy contains fantastical sentient forests, a princess, and the threat of planetary annihilation. Zero is an emigre from Earth living on Square Planet with three aliens. BaalZuda, the enemy, creates a horde of monster robots with a wide variety of fighting abilities and powers. Zero must defeat the robot army to save the planet.

The arcade game includes three kinds of power-ups, all purchased with gold coins earned during gameplay or attained via an in-app purchase. Players can increase Zero's skills in three areas: Attack, Speed, and Defense. There are more than 60 different monster robots resembling flying insects, floating eyeballs, and squat fighters equipped with overhead rotors for flight. Four different types of weapons can be used to defeat the robots, but not all weapons are effective against all robots.

The first kind of weapon has four types, which are all 4Side weapons. The second kind of weapon has six types, which are Gass weapons, enveloping the enemy in dark, deadly gas. Ice is the third kind of weapon with six types, encasing the enemy in a block of ice. And Missile, with six types, is the fourth kind of weapon, flying in a blaze of pyrotechnics into the enemy robot.

Feature Highlights:
* 101 levels of play
* 66 different characters including normal and transformed
* Players can choose any 4 weapons from a selection of 22
* Earn gold coins and upgrade your weapons
* Advanced AI for battles where each monster robot has different weapons and moves
* Zero can attack 3 times with each of the 4 weapons above and left of the main weapon control
* Many worlds and backgrounds, including snow, rain, hot summer, winter, and the universe
* Advanced particle system with gravity and motion blur
* Vibration feature available on iPhone/iPod touch
* Context sensitive help
* Leaderboards and Achievements
* Facebook connectivity

Players must unlock all but the first of RiverBoy's 101 stages of play. Once unlocked, players can go back to replay levels before moving ahead. After the first four stages, gameplay becomes quite challenging, and players may have to replay lower levels many times before earning sufficient power-ups and weapons to move on to higher stages. During gameplay the remaining life in Zero is displayed in a horizontal thermometer, as is the remaining life of his adversaries. Successfully completing a level requires Zero to outlive the monster robots, while earning gold coins by killing them.

There are dozens of dazzling, animated effects as Zero fights using his main weapon, a pair of light sabers, and any of the 22 other weapons available. Depending on the frequency at which the player taps the main weapons button, Zero will execute simple or complex slashing, twirling, and thrusting moves. The exaggerated motion blur make his moves graceful and deadly. Enemies can occupy any one of limitless layers, so it is possible to kill a dozen robots, each behind the other, with a single stroke.

"RiverBoy is a huge, complex arcade game with many, many characters and special effects," commented Sun Young Kim of CkZero. "Try to rescue the cute and sexy princess Tina."
