QuickerTek allows older Macs to access 802.11 ac Wi-Fi standard - Published on 08/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wichita based QuickerTek today announces the AC Quicky, a USB network adapter upgrade that allows older Macs to connect to wireless access points that use the new 802.11 ac Wi-Fi standard. The AC Quicky uses the same chipset as Apple so users may know that their upgraded MacBooks, Pro's and Air's maintain all of the compatibility that a new MacBook Air offers. Networking drivers are included in the Mac OS, and users need not struggle to find working drivers after Apple issues an update.

Wichita, Kansas - QuickerTek, the technology leader in mobile power and wireless networking for Apple computers, has created an upgrade for older Apple MacBooks to take advantage of the latest wireless technology. A simple USB device produced from this company allows older PowerBooks to have the same quicker 802.11ac networking which is built into the latest MacBooks. Because of the new AC Quicky, faithful MacBook users don't have to settle for slower networking speeds, in an otherwise very capable laptop. The AC Quicky is available from QuickerTek and their resellers for $149 USD.

The reason for the effectiveness of the 802.11 AC Wi-Fi technology in the latest MacBook Air is that it uses wider RF bandwidth - 5GHz spectrum, higher modulation and a number of other technologies to boost wireless speeds. The 802.11a/b/g/n ac specification has an expected multi-station WLAN throughput of at least 1 gigabit per second and a single link throughput of at least 500 megabits per second (500 Mbps). Consequently, 802.11n is now half as fast as the new AC networking standard.

The AC Quicky uses the same chipset as Apple so users may know that their upgraded MacBooks, Pro's and Air's maintain all of the compatibility that a new MacBook Air offers. Networking drivers are included in the Mac OS, and users need not struggle to find working drivers after Apple issues an update.

The AC Quicky works with all of the popular wireless network equipment - including wireless access points from Dlink, NetGear and many others. It also installs into any USB port and includes saved software on a USB or SD card. Once installed, the MacBook is ready to connect and use any wireless network - at the fastest speeds available.

Rick Estes, QuickerTek president, stated, "Doubling your wireless speed is a huge win for Mac users everywhere. There's no reason to replace your trusty laptop just because the wireless is slower - just upgrade it." Estes then went on to describe the practical usage of his new product. "If you want to watch videos online, but the slow speed turns you off, this new AC Quicky networking is the answer." This USB upgrade is a simple solution to the issue of slow networking speeds in old computers, and the product can be easily trusted because its drivers are from Apple. The AC Quicky is also backwards compatible, making it capable of functioning across any network with any of the favored wireless networking setups. Estes went on to conclude his statement, saying, "It's easy to install, easy to stay current with drivers and it's smokin' fast."

Pricing and Availability:
The AC Quicky is available from QuickerTek and their resellers for $149 USD. For more information, visit QuickerTek online.

Dazzling Wasabi Storybook App Delivers Common Core Aligned Edutainment - Published on 08/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

App developer Wasabi Productions announces the launch of the musical tale Gorilla Band, an interactive storybook that is set to dazzle and delight pre-K through 2nd grade classrooms this back to school season. It goes live this Thursday, 15th August complete with Common Core Standards aligned reading strategies to help teachers and students get the most out of the app. Written in rhyme and packed with music, Gorilla Band helps with the development of phonological awareness and other skills.

Atlanta, Georgia - App developer, Wasabi Productions today is thrilled to announce the launch of the musical tale Gorilla Band, an interactive storybook that is set to dazzle and delight pre-K through 2nd grade classrooms this back to school season. It goes live this Thursday, 15th August complete with Common Core Standards aligned reading strategies to help teachers and students get the most out of the app.

Written in rhyme and packed with music, Gorilla Band helps with the development of phonological awareness, imagination, emergent literacy and instrument recognition by sight and sound - all-important age-appropriate educational benefits for its 2-7 year old audience. Listening and comprehension skills are also key to its design.

Placing the reader at the center of the story, the app unfolds through their interaction, and takes place in a dynamic, three-dimensional jungle set that allows for camera pans and sweeping changes in perspective.

We meet gorillas at Jungle Music School learning piano and violin and after a serendipitous exposure to tunes from other rock star jungle musicians, see them enthusiastically form a band and write a song with everything from Conga Drums to Double Bass.

Music is widely regarded as an important part of a well-rounded education, and it also helps with skills in literacy, "discriminating sounds fosters phonological awareness, or awareness of the sound structure of language - an important emergent literacy skill." (Core Knowledge Preschool Sequence and Teacher Handbook)

Music is thought to enhance the process of learning. The systems it nourishes, which include our integrated sensory, attention, cognitive, emotional and motor capacities, are shown to be the driving forces behind all other learning (Konrad, Empathy, Arts and Social Studies).

Wasabi is proud to support American not-for-profit VH1 Save the Music Foundation, whose mission is to restore instrumental music education programs in America's public schools, and raise awareness about the importance of music as part of each child's complete education. Ten percent of proceeds from app sales will go to benefit the charity's work until 31 December 2013.

"We are grateful to Wasabi Productions for their generous support of our cause," said Paul Cothran, Vice President and Executive Director of the VH1 Save The Music Foundation. "It is exciting to see how technology can further complement education and help students develop their appreciation for music."

Graham Nunn, Creative Director for Wasabi says, "At its heart Gorilla Band is a memorable story, and it gives families and schools the ability to expose children to music with authenticity and ease."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 62.7 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Gorilla Band 1.2 is the fifth book app from Wasabi and is available as a universal app for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch for $3.99 USD (Educational institutions discount applies through iTunes). It comes complete with original animations, a myriad of originally scored instrumental tracks, 2 songs and an educational studio. Launching soon on Google Play and Kindle store for Android. Special launch pricing of $0.99.

Wasabi focuses on reimagining storybooks for the digital age, and entertaining young kids with tales of memorable characters where their interaction is central. The books contain moral and social outtakes, and together with text highlighting and educational elements, contribute positively to early readers' development. Wasabi apps have received critical acclaim and the developer is one of the founding members of the Moms With Apps 'Know What's Inside' initiative to protect children's privacy in apps. They have pioneered a 'Delay Interactions' feature that ensures interaction does not detract from story comprehension. All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2013 Wasabi Productions.

Translator Pro - 64 Languages 3.3 Released for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch - Published on 08/15/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

iThinkdiff today announces Translator Pro - 64 Languages version 3.3, an update to their popular translator application for iOS devices. Translator Pro can translate into over 64 different languages, including languages spoken by over a billion people (such as English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese), dead languages (such as Latin), and invented languages (such as Esperanto). In this version Custom Bengali, Tamil & Gujarati keyboard added to write Bengali, Tamil and Gujarati text.

Melaka, Malaysia - iThinkdiff today is proud to offer Translator Pro - 64 Languages version 3.3, an update to their popular translator application for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Translator Pro can translate into over 64 different languages, including languages spoken by over a billion people (such as English, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese), dead languages (such as Latin), and invented languages (such as Esperanto). In this version Custom Bengali, Tamil & Gujarati keyboard added to write Bengali, Tamil and Gujarati text.

Key Features:
* Copy and paste text into Translator Pro and it will automatically detect what language it was written in and translate it.
* Send translated text straight to email app, an SMS text message, Facebook status, a Twitter tweet, or even a LinkedIn update.
* Bookmark useful words and phrases to quickly access them later. It saves from looking up frequent phrases again when someone else is waiting.

64 Languages From Across The World:
It doesn't matter where the user live - if more than a million people speak user's language, then Translator Pro probably does too.

The incredible list of languages it supports:
Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Azerbaijani, Basque, Belarusian, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, Georgian, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Korean, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Maltese, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, Welsh and Yiddish language.

Take Advantage Of Device:
If iPhone or iPad have a Retina display then the app automatically optimized layout, which takes advantage of high-resolution screen to make reading foreign languages easier than ever before.

Choose Language:
Sometimes language auto-detect doesn't work, as is the case with short phrases from closely related languages. In that case, user can always select the language manually to get the best possible translation.

Selecting the language user want to read is also easy to change. User has to pick any language from the list of 64 languages to get the translation. User can even change languages on the fly to instantly see what a phrase looks like in several different languages.

Requirements:
Translating between 64 languages is hard work, so Translator Pro requires an Internet connection to work. (Both mobile and Wi-Fi connections are supported.)

Once user is connected, he needs to do is start typing or pasting the phrases he want to translate. Translator Pro will do the rest of the work for him.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS/4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation), and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.1 or later
* Universal app optimized for display on all iOS devices
* 14.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Random House Digital today is proud to announce to commemorate the 101st birthday of Julia Child, one of America's greatest culinary icons, Alfred A. Knopf is reducing the price on the app of her beloved classic. From August 15 to 18, the Mastering the Art of French Cooking: Selected Recipes app price will be reduced on the App StoreSM and Nook Store. Originally published more than fifty years ago, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child was a labor of love for Julia Child.

Based in New York - To commemorate the 101st birthday of Julia Child, one of America's greatest culinary icons, Alfred A. Knopf is reducing the price on the app of her beloved classic. From August 15 to 18, the Mastering the Art of French Cooking: Selected Recipes app will be priced at $1.99 (from $4.99) on the App StoreSM and Nook Store.

Originally published more than fifty years ago, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child was a labor of love for Julia Child. It took her over a decade to write because she often tested recipes ten to fifteen times. Throughout the book's development, she had the home cook very much in mind, and with this app, those home cooks will learn exactly how to master those same techniques from Julia herself. The recipes for this app were culled by her longtime editor Judith Jones. "These recipes," Jones said, "provide home cooks with the basic tools they need to create a dish. Whether it is braising or roasting or flambeing, the recipes give a culinary framework in addition to providing a window into the book as a whole."

What's included:
* 32 recipes from "Mastering the Art of French Cooking"
* Color photographs of each finished dish
* 30 clips from her "The Way to Cook" videos
* Audio anecdotes from Julia Child's longtime editor
* French pronunciations for the names of dishes
* Facebook sharing
* Grocery lists
* Rare photographs of Julia Child
* Resource information (kitchen equipment, cutting tips, wines, stocks, definitions)

"Mastering the Art of French Cooking remains one of the seminal cookbooks of all time," said Tony Chirico, President of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. "Our goal was to make this standard work available to the growing generation of mobile and tablet readers. It's hard to improve on a classic, but with the updates we've added, readers will feel as if Julia is with them in the kitchen. And who could be better company?"

Julia Child was born in Pasadena, California on August 15, 1912. She was graduated from Smith College and worked for the OSS during World War II in Ceylon and China, where she met Paul Child. After they married, they lived in Paris, where she studied at the Cordon Bleu and taught cooking with Simone Beck and Louisette Bertholle, with whom she wrote "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (1961). In 1963, Boston's WGBH launched The French Chef television series, which made her a national celebrity, earning her the Peabody Award in 1965 and an Emmy in 1966. Several public television shows and numerous cookbooks followed. She died in 2004. This month, she would have celebrated her 101st birthday.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Mastering the Art of French Cooking: Selected Recipes 1.0 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Food & Drink category.
