Dolly Drive subscriptions include cloud storage for having a virtual hard drive, file syncing & online backup along with integrated capabilities for local backup and a bootable clone for immediate disaster recovery.

"When Mac users experience Dolly Drive with 10 Free Gigs, they can better understand their full cloud potential " said Leigh Kessler, Director of Marketing for Dolly Drive. "Once you've accessed your files on all your devices, or restored a backed up file from the cloud, you start to understand how life-changing working from the cloud can be."

Dolly Drive mixes cloud storage and backup in three ways. First, it offers the ability to store files in the cloud, and then sync them across their computers and devices. Next, it lets users create versioned backups of those files both in the cloud and on a local hard drive. Lastly, the Dolly Drive application includes software to create a bootable clone of a Mac on an external drive for immediate recovery from any hard drive related failures.

Luigi Savagnone releases Imagining a tomorrow: Enhanced Edition - Published on 04/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent publisher Luigi Savagnone today announces Imagining of tomorrow for iPad. This book is divided into two parts. In the first a narrator tells the moving story of two girls. In the second part, the narrator talks about his life, his malaise in society and his desire to escape. He will find happiness in an underwater world, but it will be only a dream. This book is dedicated to women simple, but clever, and to men humble, not arrogant, but strong and self-confident.

Palermo, Italy - Independent publisher Luigi Savagnone is pleased to announce the release of Imagining of tomorrow for iPad. The novel is divided into two basic parts. This book is dedicated to women simple, but clever, and to men humble, not arrogant, but strong and self-confident.

A narrator tells the story of Anna and Lucia two girls of Italian origin, who after spending a childhood and a peaceful and happy childhood in Borneo discovered a love affair between their parents, so disgusted, they decide to leave and reach Italy. Here find a very closed society, resulting in great difficulty in entering and get to know people. However, they manage to find a permanent job, but it soon proves a real torture. They are also able to find a partner, but with the help of a marriage agency. Here begin the visits to some of the most important places and monuments of Sicily, but also of Rome, Florence and Venice, where Anna spends her honeymoon. This is illustrated by several images and accurate historical reconstructions. When for the two friends finally everything seemed to go for the best, something happens ... In this first part, which can be defined as "pink", however, are treated different topics of scientific, philosophical, architectural and cultural heritage.

The narrator of this romance is in a state of suffering for the ills of society and human weaknesses that are highlighted in an exaggerated way in this second part, which is characterized by mental ravings and tragicomic adventures that lead to an escape from the sci-fi world of work. With his small boat goes to sea and is called by a mermaid who leads him into an unknown world. It was all a dream ...

Foursies Lets Friends Connect for Unique Twist on Classic Board Game - Published on 04/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lightwood Games is delighted to announce that Foursies, a four in a row game with a twist, is now available on the App Store. With new rules designed to make the game quicker and more engaging, this free iOS app brings a classic game format into the digital age. If you've played vertical strategy games like Connect Four or Captain's Mistress, you'll think you already know how to play this game. However the unique twists in Foursies turn a familiar game into a brand new challenge.

Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom - Lightwood Games today is delighted to announce that Foursies, a four in a row game with a twist, is now available on the App Store. With new rules designed specifically for mobile devices, this free iOS app brings a classic game format into the digital age. If you've played vertical strategy games like Connect Four or Captain's Mistress, you'll think you already know how to play this game. That's true to an extent, but the unique twists in Foursies turn a familiar game into a brand new challenge.

In a nutshell: you play four boards at the same time against the same opponent and the first to make lines on two boards wins the game. However, on each turn you must play in a different column on every board! These rules are designed to make the game quicker and more engaging, so that it suits a turn-based mobile app.

By giving the player four moves to make on every turn, it means there's always something to think about. Even if your hand is forced on one board, you still get to make a strategic decision on another. Requiring only two lines to win avoids long, drawn-out end game situations so it doesn't matter if one board starts looking like a stalemate. Most games last between ten and fifteen turns. Foursies even picks a random starting position each time you play, so things begin quickly and every game is different.

"We wanted to bring this family favourite to iOS, but we found that playing the traditional way didn't work well in a casual, turn-based format", said Lightwood's Chris Newman. "It takes several moves before the game gets interesting and in the later stages your move is often forced. Unless your opponent is responding immediately this can get dull very quickly, so we designed Foursies to have more decisions and less grinding".

The most interesting new rule is being forced to play in four different columns. This not only ensures that you can't play the same way on every board, but adds a brand new strategy element to the game.

"Some gamers dismiss Connect Four as trivial because there's a known solution, which means a knowledgable player can always force a win or a draw", said Newman. "Foursies eliminates that possibility! You could try to play a perfect game on one board, but you have to play differently on the other three".

Foursies has a wide range of custom counters to choose from, so players can put their own mark on the game. Counters are unlocked through playing the game, or can be bought via in-app purchase.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 30.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Foursies 1.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Previews of Sente 6.6 for Mac and iPad Now Available - Published on 04/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Third Street Software is pleased to announce the availability of preview releases of Sente 6.6 for Mac and iPad. Sente 6.6 is a major update to popular academic reference manager. New features include a complete overhaul of the library synchronization engine to make it easier than ever to keep reference libraries synchronized across multiple Macs and iPads. Sente 6.6 also now supports Find-in-PDF on both platforms and there is a new, streamlined PDF annotation interface on the iPad.

Denver, Colorado - Third Street Software is pleased to announce that preview releases of Sente 6.6 for Mac and iPad are now publicly available. Sente 6.6 includes several important new features, including a new library synchronization engine, support for Find-in-PDF on both platforms, and a streamlined PDF annotation interface on the iPad.

The new library synchronization engine in Sente 6.6 makes it easier than ever to create, use and share synchronized reference libraries. In the new design, every library created on any device is immediately available to be opened on all other devices. Changes made to any copy of a library are automatically available in all other copies, usually within seconds, as long as the devices are connected to the Internet.

"Most Sente users want to have their research libraries on more than one device these days." said Chuck Coughlin of Third Street Software. "They may do most of their serious research work on their iMac or MacBook, but they also want to be able to work with their libraries on their iPad no matter where they are. The update to sync in Sente 6.6 makes this easier to achieve than it has ever been before. Even users who normally work on a single device will still want to use Sente 6.6, because it maintains an up-to-date backup of all libraries at all times. To recover from a computer disaster, just install the application, log in, and open your libraries - everything will be just as it was before the problem happened."

Sente 6.6 also included a new PDF annotation interface on the iPad. This new interface is designed specifically for academic research, where it is often essential to collect quotations and detailed notes while reading. And, of course, all notes and highlighting created in any copy of a library are synchronized to all other copies automatically.

Sente 6.6 for Mac is available on our web site. Sente 6.6 for iPad is available in the App Store. The final release of Sente 6.6 will be available later this month.

A Real Mother: stumbling through motherhood - Published on 04/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A Real Mother: stumbling through motherhood is a 136-page collection of Denise Malloy's most popular parenting columns from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. There are moments in parenting that provide bliss, joy and wonder. A Real Mother is about the other moments. Parents will catch a glimpse of their lives in the pages of A Real Mother and know that it's okay to laugh not only at the ups-and-downs of parenting, but also at themselves.

Bozeman, Montana - Moms want sleep. Moms want five minutes of peace and quiet. Moms want to be left alone in the bathroom for more than 45 seconds. But more than anything, moms want to know that they are not alone in this crazy ride called Motherhood. That's why Denise Malloy wrote A Real Mother: stumbling through motherhood.

A Real Mother: stumbling through motherhood is a 136-page collection of Denise Malloy's most popular parenting columns from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. There are moments in parenting that provide bliss, joy and wonder. A Real Mother is about the other moments. Parents will catch a glimpse of their lives in the pages of A Real Mother and know that it's okay to laugh not only at the ups-and-downs of parenting, but also at themselves.

This collection of 39 columns is written in the first-person tone of Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck. It's written with mothers-to-be, moms in the trenches and grandmothers who have survived to tell the tale in mind.

As a mom with two teens and a humor columnist, Denise Malloy is familiar with this audience. For the past six years, her column, "A Real Mother," has appeared in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle where she waxes profound, and occasionally profane, on issues that touch every Real Mother's life - from diapers to dating. Denise recounts her wild ride through the Stream of Consciousness Zone of Parenting to getting caught by her teens and, quite possibly, Scarring Them for Life. Her work has also appeared in Family Circle, Funny Times, Parents, American Profile, Via Travel as well as numerous regional women's and parenting publications.

Denise Malloy inhabits a world that most parents will recognize, but few have described quite so honestly, or hilariously.

Reviews:

Named to Kirkus Reviews' Best of 2012

"A quick, lighthearted romp through the joys of motherhood as told by a real, honest and very funny mom." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A Real Mother is a real pleasure." - ForeWord Clarion Reviews (5 of 5 stars)

Advance Praise for: A Real Mother: stumbling through motherhood

"Denise Malloy gives us a deliciously snarky, loving, and brutally honest look at REAL motherhood. . . and if Denise is any indication, we don't have to throw out our sense of humor with the bath water." - Katie Goodman, comedian, creator of "Broad Comedy," and author of Improvisation for the Spirit.

"If Dave Barry and Erma Bombeck had a Kentucky love-child, her name would be Denise Malloy."
- Chrysti M. Smith, host of the radio series "Chrysti the Wordsmith," produced at KGLT-FM in Bozeman, Montana

"In this hilarious collection where wry humor and loving warmth prevail, Denise Malloy's foray into parenthood puts her at the pinnacle with Erma Bombeck and Dave Barry. . ." - Lauri Olsen, author of Cold Moon Honor, Whispers on the Wind

"Denise Malloy . . . can turn any situation into comedy. . ." - Jennifer Lowe-Anker, mother, artist and author of Forget Me Not

"Call her a modern-day Erma Bombeck, but somehow Denise Malloy manages to consistently slice and dice modern-day living with good old-fashioned humor. . ." - Megan Ault Regnerus, Managing Editor, Montana Quarterly and Balance Magazines

Broadway Professionals Launch MusicalMe Images App in iTunes - Published on 04/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

uSOUNDit LLC releases MusicalMe Images 1.0, a photo sharing musical app that turns sights into sounds via mobile touchscreen devices. This innovative app brings the visual art of photography together with music composition to develop a powerful interactive experience that users can share with their friends. Advanced musicians can delve further into the app by adjusting hundreds of sounds, including real instruments and sound effects, background chords, key changes, sustain, tempo, and more.

New York, New York - MusicalMe Images, an original app designed to help users compose custom background music based on photos and images, officially launched in iTunes this week. This innovative app brings the visual art of photography together with music composition to develop a powerful interactive experience that users can share with their friends.

"MusicalMe addresses that musical impulse we all have inside," said Tom Polum, a partner along with Tamra Hayden and Jean Cheever in uSOUNDit Partners LLC, creator of MusicalMe Images. "Our app uses a sophisticated algorithm to create rich melodies from images that range from a photo of your brother playing soccer to a snapshot of you and your friends at a rock concert."

Users create custom melodies by simply dragging a finger across the image they choose for their composition or choose Auto Play and MusicalMe does the rest. As users tap, swipe, or sweep across the image, different notes are struck according to colors and light levels in that part of the photo. Tapping the "Record" button lets users archive their creation and share it with friends and family via email or social networking sites. Sharing is easy; users can simply click E-mail or Save buttons at the end of a recording session via the Share menu. According to Cheever, "It's the next big thing in photo sharing."

Advanced musicians can delve further into the app by adjusting hundreds of sounds, including real instruments and sound effects, background chords, key changes, sustain, tempo, and more.

Polum, Hayden and Cheever believe the app will appeal to a large audience, since imagery, music, and memories naturally go together. "The beauty of it is that users don't have to know anything about music, notes, or scales," said Hayden. "They can simply load an image and touch the screen. Anyone can explore and choose sounds they find pleasing, and in doing so perhaps learn a little bit about music along the way."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 47.3 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MusicalMe Images 1.0 is currently Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Music category. For more information and to view tutorials for the app, visit MusicalMeApps online.

MusicalMe Images, created by uSOUNDit Partners LLC, uses patent pending technology created by musicians to bring an in-depth musical and visual experience that no other app in the marketplace provides. Our app analyzes the colors within an image and translates them using algorithms to create melody and volume, notes, keys and pitches. MusicalMe Images provides a fun, spontaneous interactive experience for basic users, and a trailblazing composition opportunity for those more knowledgeable about music. uSOUNDit Partners LLC was formed in April 2012 by partners Tamra Hayden, Tom Polum and Jean Cheever. Hayden most recently appeared in A Tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber, Jerry Herman & The Music of Broadway, with the Palm Beach Pops. Cheever and Polum are the lead producers of The Toxic Avenger, the award-winning musical comedy by Tony winners Joe DiPietro and David Bryan, and directed by Tony winner John Rando.

iDetective HD - Your Private Spy - Published on 04/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Indie developer Vlad Polyanskiy today introduces iDetective HD 1.1 for iPad, his app that lets parents, managers, and teachers remotely monitor when and how any Mac or PC is used. The ideal app for supervising and documenting who is running which applications and for what duration, iDetective compiles infographic and text reports daily or for specific time periods. Providing informative statistics and screenshots, the app allows users to message, shut down, hibernate or restart remote computers.

Moscow, Russian Federation - Indie developer Vlad Polyanskiy today is pleased to introduce iDetective HD 1.1 for iPad, his new utility that lets parents, managers, and teachers remotely monitor when and how any Mac or PC is used. The ideal app for supervising and documenting who is running which applications and for what duration, iDetective compiles infographic and text reports daily or for specific time periods. Providing informative statistics and screenshots for multiple Macs and PCs, the app allows users to message, shut down, hibernate, sleep, or restart remote computers.

New features in 1.1 version
* Improved screenshoter manager
* Unlimited screenshots
* Share, save or send your screenshots
* Bug fixes and stability improvements

Feature Highlights:
* Complete and detailed information about all applications being run on the remote computers under Mac OS X or Windows
* Window titles of open windows, with precise timestamps; see full filenames of the files open on the computer being used; check whether employees are really working or not
*Install iDetective onto your own machine and find out how much time you spend on work/entertainment/generally surfing the Web; the results will be surprising
* Reports on the programs being run, daily or for any other time period; iDetective gathers all relevant data and displays it as easy-to-understand infographics
* Real-time screenshots of the screen of the remote computer, which can
be saved and/or emailed
* Notifications each time the remote computer is turned on
* Huge information library of Mac & PC software titles; view an application while in use directly from iDetective
* Send messages to a remote machine
* Control over remote computers; shut down, hibernate, sleep, or restart
* Original, intuitive, and attractive user interface
* A myriad of other useful features already packed within the current release or due in soon to be released, free updates

With their global proliferation, access to computers is no longer a problem in most parts of the world. However, another problem has taken its place: control of computers. Parents have an obligation to supervise their children's use of home computers; unrestricted use can be as harmful as no access whatsoever. Among the simplest and most elegant solutions is iDetective. From their iPad, parents can easily verify that computers are being used according to the rules and guidelines they have provided their children. A foolproof system for monitoring usage, iDetective's non-technical user interface keeps parents updated in real-time as to who is using a computer, which computer is being used, how long it is being used, which applications and games are being run, and which websites are being visited.

The remote monitoring capabilities of iDetective can be invaluable in other settings as well. Managers and supervisory personnel can monitor the work habits of employees. Monitoring is completely transparent and undetectable by employees, though managers can easily message, shut down, hibernate, or restart remote computers.

In schools, teachers can refer to a daily history of every computer in their classroom, or look over the shoulder of a student in real-time. Owners of iDetective may also benefit from controlling their own computer usage. Viewing a bar graph of weekly usage, they may be surprised which applications they are in most.

Indie developer Vlad Polyanskiy asked, "Who is using your computer when you're away? How are your staff and employees using their computers? Are your kids spending too much time on the computer? Find out with iDetective for iPad."

Language Support:
* English, French, German, and Russian

Device Requirements:
* Compatible with iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 7.0 MB

System Requirements:
* Compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 or higher
* Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8

Pricing and Availability:
iDetective HD 1.1 is just $9.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Utilities category. Review copies are available on request.

Mocha - New iPhone app makes it easier for friends to get together - Published on 04/04/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Mocha is an iPhone app that answers the question "Hey, when are you free?". Inspired by busy medical students who never knew who else was free on their precious off days, Mocha helps people connect with their friends to hang out and do fun things together. Simply tap the days you're free, invite your friends and you're set. The app will match up who is available and let you send them an email or give them a quick call.

Dallas, Texas - MochaWorks today is thrilled to announce the release and immediate availability of Mocha 1.0.1 for the iPhone. Mocha is an iPhone app that answers the question we all ask our friends: "Hey, when are you free?" Inspired by busy medical students who had the same problem, Mocha is the simple-to-use app that lets you tap the days you're free and share it with your friends. The app then does the work of figuring out who is free the days you are, and it tells you in an easy to read list.

Rather than use shared calendars that require you to input your schedule (again), Mocha makes it simple and fun. If you're free at all during the day, just tap on it to turn it green. In the Available Friends section, you'll see all the dates you set as free and a list of your friends that also have those days marked as free. It's that easy!

Feature Highlights:
* Calendar view where you simply tap the days you're free or off work/school
* Invite your friends using Facebook or their email address
* Set a status to let your friends know what you're up to (or if you're looking to do something!)
* List of friends sorted by the dates you're free, up to 6 months into the future

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later
* 9.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Mocha 1.0.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category. The app features two in-app purchases to remove ads, enable themes and a profile photo upload, or a combined bundle of the two.
