The Academics' Choice Advisory Board consists of leading thinkers and graduates from Princeton, Harvard, George Washington University, and other reputable educational institutions. Product-appropriate volunteer reviewers, combined with the brainpower of the Board, determine the coveted winners.

Evil Twin Trivia: The Wacky New App By a Man Who Lives With His Parents - Published on 11/29/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Arizona based Odds and Apps, LLC introduces Evil Twin Trivia 1.2, its new gaming title developed for iPhone, iPad and iOd touch. Evil Twin Trivia was designed with a new format for playing trivia. Trapped inside a Mansion, the player must avoid every lie to escape the Evil Twin in a maze of questions. Each Mansion has 7 rounds. Round 1 contains 1 trivia question; Round 2 contains 2 questions and so on. If the player was fooled by the Evil Twin, they will be challenged to play the round again.

Gilbert, Arizona - Odds and Apps is thrilled to announce that Evil Twin Trivia is available on the App Store. Created by a TV Game Show Producer who had an idea for a trivia app, left his career and moved in with his parents. Originally released October 4, 2012, Odds and Apps has quietly been making changes and up-dates before today's official announcement of the new iOS trivia game.

Question: If Rocky Balboa literally had the eyes of a tiger, what would be the most likely side effect?

Evil Twin Trivia was designed with a new format for playing trivia. If The Price is Right and the movie, Labyrinth, had a baby that grew up and created trivia, this app may have been the result. Trapped inside a Mansion, the player must avoid every lie to escape the Evil Twin in a maze of questions.

Each Mansion has 7 rounds. Round 1 contains 1 trivia question; Round 2 contains 2 questions and so on. The player is told at the end of each round if their answers are correct. If the player was fooled by the Evil Twin, they will be challenged to play the round again. Stuck on a question? Spot the lie with the "HONEST EYE". Selecting "HONEST EYE" will reveal the Evil Twin and the correct answer. 5 are included with the game.

* "No reply" The New York Times

"I'm a huge trivia fan," explains the 33 year-old Logan Steele, founder of Odds and Apps. "While exploring the current apps, I noticed a creative void in the trivia world. In February 2012, I decided to abandon my career, move in with my parents and fill this void. With the determination of an Olympian and reading level of a 4th grader, I went to work."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
* iOS 5.1 or later
* 64.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Evil Twin Trivia 1.2 is available for $0.99 (USD) on the App Store and can be found under Trivia in the Games Category. The "HONEST EYE" 10-pack is $0.99 using the In-App Purchase. Review copies of the game are available upon request.

The new version of MEI's custom storefront software for tablets was built to empower Adobe Digital Publishing Suite customers and is now available for purchase.

Jenkintown, Pennsylvania - Managing Editor Inc. (MEI) today announced MEI Portico(TM) version 2.0, the latest in the premier Adobe(R) development partner's lineup of solutions for publishers. The new version of MEI's custom storefront software for tablets was built to empower Adobe Digital Publishing Suite(TM) customers and is now available for purchase.

MEI Portico lets publishers create custom branded UIs for their mobile and tablet apps on Apple, Google Android, and Amazon Kindle Fire platforms. Custom storefronts enable multiple gateways for showcasing user-targeted tablet content within the app. App administrators can enable search capabilities and organize their DPS folios as they see fit, so that navigation is easy and readers can effortlessly find the issues they want or are entitled to. Portico allows publishers to override in-app purchases for authenticated subscribers, and enables restricted distribution capabilities for corporate and educational institutions using Adobe DPS as part of their digital communications strategy.

MEI Portico 2.0 introduces custom canvases to the original Portico toolbox. Rather than having to rely on templates for their storefront's landing view, designers can now create their own HTML designs to incorporate into an MEI Portico-driven interface. Using web design skills, designers have full control over every aspect of their app's look and feel - from storefront layout to images, login pages to RSS or social media feeds, subscriber views to featured folios. And because administrators can launch canvases at a moment's notice, implementing new features into your app can be completed without a time-consuming app update.

"Custom canvases mean that DPS apps can take advantage of Portico's robust feature set without compromising their brand's look and feel," said Brett Kizner, MEI's director of new product marketing. "Portico 2.0 has delivered greater flexibility with the ability for our customers to design their own app experience on their app landing page."

About MEI Portico:
MEI Portico works with the Enterprise edition of the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to build custom storefronts for your digital brand. For publishers who want to enhance their tablet output with functionality beyond the standard template, MEI's creative services team can help develop specialized Porticos with custom features. For more details and purchasing information, contact an MEI sales representative at 215-886-5662.

Zevrix Updates Output Factory for InDesign: Improves INDD Output - Published on 11/29/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zevrix Solutions announces Output Factory 1.3.10, a feature update to its professional output automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Output Factory automates printing, exporting and post-processing from InDesign and offers batch printing, single page export, layer versioning, variable file names, preflighting, FTP file delivery, detailed output history, and more. The new version lets users output InDesign documents as single files without splitting them into single pages.

Toronto, Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory 1.3.10, a feature update to its professional solution to automate printing, exporting and post-processing from Adobe InDesign. Output Factory automates and simplifies workflows of printers, prepress bureaus, ad agencies and publishing houses worldwide, and is the major upgrade of the company's widely popular plug-in BatchOutput.

The new version adds a new option to the INDD output workflow: users can now save InDesign files as single documents without splitting them into single pages. It lets users automatically apply Output Factory's powerful features to entire InDesign documents without changing their format. For example, users can output specific layer combinations as individual InDesign files, preflight a batch of documents automatically, send InDesign files to an FTP site and so on.

With Output Factory users only need to select InDesign files, adjust workflow settings, and the software will do the rest automatically. Users are free to continue working on their computers unimpeded as the program prints in the background; or let it work while they're on a lunch break; or just leave Output Factory to export hundreds of documents to PDF overnight and pick up the completed job next morning.

Output Factory supports printing as well as exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, INX, IDML, EPUB, HTML and several image formats.

It offers the following key features:
* Batch processing
* Single page output
* Update modified links
* Variable output file names
* Layer versioning
* Preflighting
* Output to several formats at once

Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory can be purchased from Zevrix website for $169.95 USD (Light version $119.95), as well as from authorized resellers and Adobe Exchange. Trial is also available for download. BatchOutput users can upgrade to Output Factory for $84.97. Output Factory is available for Mac OS X 10.5-10.8 on Intel-based Macs and works with Adobe InDesign CS3-CS6.
