SCSC Releases Free eBook: Hard Drive Troubleshooting - Published on 09/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC has released a free eBook in PDF format titled "Hard Drive Troubleshooting." "Hard Drive Troubleshooting" is the only book on the market targeting Macintosh based computers and includes not only basic troubleshooting, but how to properly analyze a system that is exhibiting problems that may be mistaken as drive failures when they are, in fact system problems.

Reston, Virginia - Software an Computer Systems Company, LLC, (SCSC) has just released a new, free eBook in PDF format title "Hard Drive Troubleshooting." The book, which is 141 pages in length is available for free download to any interested users from SCSC's web site

"This book is provided to complement our hard drive scanning and analysis tool, Scannerz for Mac OS X," stated an SCSC spokesman. "If someone thinks they have a hard drive problem, we thought it would be a good idea to release a book explaining how they can test and evaluate their problems without possibly buying an unneeded hard drive, or for that matter, software. Although the book references our product, Scannerz for Mac OS X, the fact is Scannerz, or for that matter any other analysis tool on the market cannot and will not be able to identify a problem that appears to be a drive problem, when in fact it may be traced to something else, like a failing power supply. This book traces the data flow all the way from the I/O controller on the logic board to the read and write heads actually exchanging data with the drive platters. We hope this book will become the de facto standard reference manual for hard drive and system problems on Mac OS X based systems."

"Through years of analysis and experience, we've determined that hard drive related problems can range from the obvious to the obscure. Examples of obvious failures would include a logic board with a bad I/O controller or CPU, a failed controller on a hard drive, or a severe head crash rendering a drive useless. Obscure problems, which are every bit as, if not more common as obvious problems, can include such things as cracks in traces on the logic board, a weak solder joint, or connectors that are marginally functional. Obscure problems typically yield extremely erratic system performance, often with intermittent errors, leading users to believe they have a severe, unrepairable problem, when in fact it it might be easily fixed. The purpose of this document is to provide owners with a set of procedures that will allow them to at least understand what's going wrong, and in many cases, fix it."

Topics covered by the book include the following:
* Definitions of failure and problem types
* Descriptions of how particular failures and problems effect systems
* Identification of problems and failures on internal and external drive systems
* Software problems that can appear as drive or system problems
* Remapping bad sectors to good sectors on a drive with platter damage
* Dealing with drives that aren't visible to a system
* Dealing with drives or systems behaving erratically
* Dealing with drives or systems suffering from intermittent lockup or shutdown
* Dealing with drives or systems suffering periodic crashes

The book is intended for users using systems that typically fall into the following categories:
* They're using systems running Mac OS X Version 10.5 (Leopard) or higher
* Either a PowerPC G4 or Intel based system

Although the book is clearly targeted at users using Apple Macintosh based systems, the general theory is applicable to almost any Mac or PC based system. SCSC invites anyone interested to download the book from their website.

Where's My Candy 1.0.1 for iOS: Cute Panda Collects Candy in Puzzle Game - Published on 09/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zhangming Ltd. today introduces Where's My Candy 1.0.1 for iOS, their fun new puzzle game that anyone can enjoy. Players control Joy, an adorable panda with a desire for candy, as he travels through the bamboo forest, sky, castle, and more locations in search of sweets. The game features several levels that increase in difficulty as well as four separate character modes for Joy to adapt. By guiding Joy through the puzzle and avoiding enemy spiders, players gain points and new challenging levels.

Beijing, China - Zhangming Ltd. today is pleased to introduce Where's My Candy 1.0.1 for iOS, their fun new puzzle game that anyone can enjoy. Players control Joy, an adorable panda with a desire for candy, as he travels through the bamboo forest, sky, castle, and more locations in search of sweets. The game features several levels that increase in difficulty as well as four separate character modes for Joy to adapt. By guiding Joy through the puzzle and avoiding enemy spiders, players gain points and new challenging levels.

Feature Highlights:
* Four different super-powered characters
* Collect dramatic props to enhance gameplay
* Enormous variety of levels increasing in difficulty
* Endearing and vivid 3D graphics
* Three lives for each level, pause button
* Shop to buy additional features
* Great fun for anyone to enjoy!

Players help charming panda Joy collect his lost candy along the forest floor path, while avoiding threatening spiders attempting to stop him. The first level teaches players how to control Joy's movement along the screen. Players simply tap in the direction they want him to travel and he follows their lead. Later levels include dangerous spiders that threaten panda Joy's safety. If he runs into one of these spiders, he disappears.

At each level, players have three lives. If they encounter a spider, they lose one of these lives, but will be able to restart in the original place with another life to collect the rest of the candy. A running total of the number of special candies collected and playing score is visible in the upper right hand corner of the screen at all times. The player may also view the number of lives remaining by the number of pandas in the upper left hand corner of the screen.

The level begins with Joy in the center of the screen, surrounded by a puzzling path. Small spiders lay asleep in their open cages scattered throughout the playing screen. As time passes and the player begins to direct Joy's movement, the spiders slowly awaken and begin to move through the screen, meaning the player has to work faster to collect all the candy before he or she is attacked by the enemy.

While the original arena is the bamboo forest, the sky, castle, invisible wall, and ghost island are additional arenas where Joy must search for his candy. The game features four different character modes for Joy as well, including Classic, Dragon Warrior, Ghost, and Invincible mode. Each character has different superpowers that help the player and Joy collect all the candy on the board.

Once all the candy is collected, the player has completed the level and may move on to the next. Each arena consists of a variety of levels that increase in complexity and difficulty, with more and more cunning enemy spiders for Joy to evade.

"Help the endearing panda Joy find his candy in this puzzling and entertaining new game!" declares Shi YanZheng of Zhangming Ltd.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
* Requires iOS 3.2 or later
* 37.5 MB

Padgram 2.2 for iPad: Instagram Viewer that Maximizes Social Interaction - Published on 09/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pinssible Labs today introduces Padgram - Instagram Viewer 2.2 for iPad, the newest version of their preferred app for Instagram use on the iPad. Unlike other options for Instagram viewing, Padgram offers an ease of tagging and interaction with other users for a better social experience. This application features tags in packages, making it effortless for users to add their favorite tags immediately. It also includes an extensive list of over 500 Emoji for a vivid commenting experience.

Wuhan, China - Pinssible Labs today is pleased to introduce Padgram - Instagram Viewer 2.2 for iPad, their newest version of the preferred app for Instagram use on the iPad. Unlike other options for Instagram viewing, Padgram offers an ease of tagging and interaction with other users for a better social experience. Browsing is organized in a bright grid system using the entire iPad space, and users can look through their favorites, subscribed tags, likes, popular photos, and more with just one easy touch. This application features tags in packages, making it effortless for users to add their favorite tags immediately and over 500 Emoji choices for a vivid commenting experience.

Feature Highlights:
* Maximizes social interaction
* Comment and check profiles with simple touches
* Easy to like, tag, and share
* Tag packages for easy group tagging
* Hundreds of unique Emoji icons with one tap
* Perceptive search suggestion
* Tag subscription
* Share pics on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, and other popular social networking sites
* Print photos to make postcards
* Supports Retina display

Padgram 2.2 augments the social experience of Instagram viewing on the iPad. The user is presented with a grid of photos in whichever group he or she searches, whether it be Followed, Subscriptions, Likes, or Popular photos. The grid uses the entirety of the iPad's large screen, allowing for clear and vivid shots of each picture sized reasonably. To view just one picture, the user simply taps on the desired photo. A screen will then slide over, showing the photo's description, comments, and likes.

Here, the user is able to comment with just one tap on the "Add Comments" space. Along with the keyboard, Padgram also offers easy symbol use, so the user does not have to switch keyboards to add a common "at" symbol, hashtag, emoticon, etc. While a custom hashtag symbol on its own is available, the app also offers suggestions for popular tags.

A click on one of these suggestions will add related tags in "Tag Packages" for easy categorization of photos. Tag Packages consist of popular grouped tags all in one. This allows users to immediately tag their photos with their favorite tags without having to copy and paste from another application.

The emoticon button provides the user with a full keyboard of over five hundred expressive faces, animals, other symbols, and more with just one tap. The keyboard also offers a recently used section, allowing users to easily locate again the symbols they last selected.

A simple swipe of the screen will take the user away from this view of a certain picture, and back to the full grid. Users can also view other Instagram members' profiles with just one touch. The window provided will show all of the user's photos, followers, and followings. Users can elevate their Instagram viewing experience by subscribing to tags on Padgram. This way, they can easily choose to group desired photos on the clear screen.

Padgram's Searched feature is especially advanced in its suggestion technology. The app retains the user's searches, so that a user returning for the same search does not have to retype. The search feature also offers intelligent suggestions for user names or tags as users type, so they may choose one with just one simple click.

Sharing photos is easy with Padgram; it allows users to save and send pictures to email as well as the popular social networking sites Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, Pocket, and Sina Weibo. The user's favorite pictures can be easily printed and sent as postcards.

"We work to increase social interaction and communication in the Instagram viewing experience," says Paul Yan of Pinssible. "Padgram makes commenting, liking, tagging, and more, effortless and smooth."

Language Support:
* English and Chinese

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 7.6 MB

Stackimals (Anipeiliaid) a fun, family puzzle game for iOS and Android - Published on 09/19/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Pixel Knights Ltd. today introduces Stackimals (Anipeiliaid) 1.0, its engaging new puzzle game for iOS and Android devices. Fun for all ages, Stackimals (Anipeiliaid) will be sure to keep the entier family entertained with its vast array of fun yet puzzling levels. Save the animals which fall from the sky by dragging them to the safety of the landing pads. Plenty of puzzles, obstacles and bonus levels to keep the most hardened animal stacker occupied.

Pwllheli, United Kingdom - Pixel Knights Ltd. today is pleased to announce the release and immediate availability of Stackimals (Anipeiliaid) for iOS and Android devices. Pixel Knights Ltd. release their latest mobile & tablet game from their gaming studio based in Pwllheli, North Wales, UK. Following on from the success of their previous games, ZombieGP, Christmas Chaos and Halloween Havoc, this game concentrates on bringing family friendly puzzles to all ages.

Available in both English and Welsh (language can be changed within the app), it shows our commitment to bringing apps and games in our native language. There doesn't seem to be many opportunities for Welsh language gamers on the appstore or play store and our aim is to bring Welsh speakers great gaming in our native language.

We also wanted to bring an easy to play game to market, one which our own kids could easily pickup and play, but also one that would keep older gamers occupied and coming back for more. The 4+ age rating reflects our goal to ensure this game was accessible to everyone.

Carl Jones, director and lead developer at Pixel Knights said: "I started writing games on a Commodore64 at the young age of 10, mostly because I didn't have a tape player with it to load them :p And the magazines in those days were always full of great game listings to type in. Things progressed somewhat with the arrival of the Amiga, I used to spend days writing games on that platform using AMOS. Unfortunately once I graduated from University and got a 'real' job, game programming became a distant memory. But recently I've been really captivated by mobile gaming and so decided it was time to re-kindle my passion for game development"

Stackimals (Anipeiliaid) is the company's first tablet optimised game (again in Welsh & English), so expect great things to emerge from this new studio. It shows the company's growing commitment to bringing native language apps to Welsh speakers worldwide.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Stackimals (Anipeiliaid) 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category. A launch trailer was released on youtube on 16th September in anticipation of launch day.
