PopChar X 6.5 - the versatile font utility just got better - Published on 03/20/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ergonis Software today announces PopChar X 6.5, an update to their award-winning tool for exploring fonts as well as finding and inserting special characters. With PopChar, thousands of special characters are only a few clicks away. Pop up the PopChar window, click the desired character, and the character appears in your current document right away. Version 6.5 introduces a new custom insertion technique, which leads to faster character insertion for many applications, and much more.

Hagenberg, Austria - Ergonis Software today is proud to announce PopChar X 6.5, a new release of the company's award-winning tool for efficiently exploring fonts as well as finding and inserting special characters. PopChar X 6.5 comes with a new custom insertion technique, which leads to faster character insertion for many applications. Among the improvements is also a work-around for a problem on Mavericks that caused the search field to be cleared while entering a search text. The new version furthermore solves a problem on non-English systems, where PopChar did not remember the previously selected layout.

Visit Ergonis Software's website to view the list of improvements and enhancements contained in this release and to download a trial copy.

PopChar solves a problem faced by every technologist and multi-lingual worker. Inserting special characters into application documents can be frustrating and results in a steady loss of productivity.

Starting with PopChar 6, you can even take a new look at fonts from a designer's perspective - see a font preview, check out what a given text fragment looks like in a certain font, and print beautiful font sheets.

SCSC Releases Scannerz Lite 1.7 for the Mac OS X Operating System - Published on 03/20/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Software and Computer System Company has released Scannerz Lite Version 1.7 for the Mac OS X operating system. Scannerz Lite is an abbreviated, low cost version of the company's main product, Scannerz for Mac OS X. Scannerz Lite can detect bad sectors or blocks on an SSD, weak sectors on a hard drive, and also detect potential timing problems with the system. The new version shares some of the new features that were integrated into Scannerz version 1.7.

Reston, Virginia - Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC, (SCSC) has released Scannerz Lite Version 1.7 for the Mac OS X Operating System. Scannerz Lite is an abbreviated and easy to use version of the company's premier product, Scannerz for Mac OS X. Scannerz Lite, like its counterpart, Scannerz, is a hard drive, and SSD evaluation tool. Scannerz Lite targets an audience that wants a low cost, high quality test tool without all the advanced features found in the fully featured version of Scannerz, but with an even lower price tag.

"Some people don't want to be bothered with a lot of technical details, tests, and diagnostic capabilities, they simply want to test their drive and make sure it's working properly," stated Bill Wagner, the company owner. "Scannerz Lite fits the bill nicely. Although the advanced diagnostic capabilities of the fully featured version of Scannerz are really pretty easy to use, to non-technical people it might seem somewhat intimidating. With Scannerz Lite, anyone can evaluate their drive or SSD, and if problems are present, take it in for servicing."

"Although the Scannerz Lite lacks the advanced diagnostic capabilities of the fully featured version of Scannerz, the core media scanning engine is the same. Scannerz Lite can detect bad sectors or blocks on an SSD, weak sectors on a hard drive, and also detect potential timing problems with the system that will make it clear to a user when their system has problems. The fully featured version of Scannerz comes bundled with other tools, such as FSE, Phoenix, and Performance Probe, but these are not present in Scannerz Lite. Scannerz Lite has been designed as essentially a fire and forget tool that tests a drive, and at the conclusion tells the user whether the drive passed or failed. It's about as easy to use as it gets."

"Both the fully featured versions of Scannerz and Scannerz Lite are very competitively priced. Scannerz Lite costs almost one-fifth what other products on the market cost, while the fully featured version of Scannerz costs half as much as the competitors. The scanning and testing capabilities of both products are superior to anything else commercially available on the market."

All versions of the fully featured version of Scannerz come bundled with FSE or FSE-Lite, Phoenix, and Performance Probe. FSE and FSE-Lite are file system event monitors that can track excessive file system activity and identify possibly rogue processes. Phoenix is an operating system extraction tool that can be used to create emergency boot volumes and perform basic cloning operations. Performance Probe monitors system activity, CPU usage, and memory usage, and may be of use isolating processes that are too resource intensive. Although the Scannerz Lite package is missing the add-on tools, they may be purchased as stand-alone products through the company's web site.

Current users of Scannerz Lite will be notified by the company in the next few days for update instructions. The update will be free for all current users of Scannerz Lite. Scannerz Lite version 1.7 for Mac OS X is fully supported by SCSC in the U.S. for registered users.

Popular Household Chore Tracking App, Chore-inator, Has Gone Universal - Published on 03/20/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Binary Formations is proud to announce the availability of the latest release of their popular household chore tracking app, Chore-inator. First introduced for the iPad in January, this update adds support for the iPhone and iPod touch without having to buy separate iPhone and iPad versions, and it builds upon the innovative features found in the previous version. Binary Formations will be showcasing the latest version of Chore-inator at Macworld/iWorld in San Francisco, March 26-29th.

Richmond, Virginia - Binary Formations is proud to announce the availability of Chore-inator 1.1. This release adds support for the iPhone and iPod touch as a Universal app. Chore-inator for the iPad was released in January and was a Best New App pick on the App Store in the Productivity category. Binary Formations will be available to show Chore-inator to members of the media at the Macworld/iWorld Pre-Show Innovation Showcase on March 26 and will be spotlighting Chore-inator at the Macworld/iWorld Expo March 27-29th.

Chore-inator is a powerful, yet simple app to do what every parent wants to do: spend less time managing the household while teaching their children discipline and motivation for a job well done.

Children use Chore-inator to see their daily chore assignments, mark them as complete, share photos of their work (proof photos), and claim rewards based on the number of stars they have earned. Parents use Chore-inator to view the status of each child's chores, view the proof photos of the child's completed chores, and approve or deny claimed rewards and allowances.

What's New With Chore-Inator 1.1?

* Chore-inator is now a Universal app and supports the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. No need to purchase separate versions for the iPhone/iPod touch and iPad.

* Is your child an overachiever? If so, add bonus chores to their schedule. Bonus chores are optional chores that can be completed to earn additional stars and/or allowance.

* Floating chores bring new flexibility to chore scheduling by letting you create chores that can be completed at any time during the week instead of just on specific days.

* Choose which side of the screen to put the navigation bar. This makes single-handed use a breeze on the iPhone or iPod touch, whether you are left-handed or right-handed.

What Makes Chore-Inator So Special?

* Chore-inator's simple to use, visually engaging interface makes prominent use of photos for children, chores, and rewards, making it ideal for toddlers on up to teens.

* Parents can see which chores have and have not been completed, any allowances that are due, and rewards that have been claimed in one simple, easy to digest view.

* Children have the ability to take photos of their work and share them through the app so parents can see their accomplishments. Even when away from the home, parents can keep an eye on their children's progress.

* Chore assignments can be set to automatically rotate among multiple children, eliminating the need for weekly updates to the chore schedule.

If your are in the San Francisco area March 26-29th, makes sure to stop by and visit Binary Formations at the Pre-Show Innovation Showcase or in the Appalooza at Macworld/iWorld for a first hand look at Chore-inator and their other Mac and iOS apps.

VidiBee re-invents mobile video advertising - Published on 03/20/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The evolution of mobile video advertising has finally begun with the release of VidiBee, the mobile video competitions platform from London-based Mobile Video Services. VidiBee is the first purpose-built mobile video competitions platform, allowing users to compete in branded and unbranded video competitions by entering 15-second clips to try and win real-world prizes. The unique advertising approach means no fear of interruption from unwanted display adverts - ever.

London, United Kingdom - VidiBee, the video competitions platform, was put on general release this week from Mobile Video Services Ltd. It is currently available on iPhone, with an Android version soon to follow. The free app invites users to compete for prizes by entering 15-second video clips direct through their smart-phone in a bid to win the best rating score from other users. Competitions typically run for 4-5 days and have already featured diverse topics, from talent contests and artistic animations to beauty themes, such as nail art. Prizes won by users have so far included private dance lessons, clothing discount vouchers and iTunes and Amazon store vouchers.

VidiBee's approach to mobile video advertising leverages mobile technology to actively engage users - allowing them to enter and rate fun videos and to interact directly with brands they choose. By inviting users to participate in branded competitions with multiple touch-points, VidiBee does away with interruptive "pre-roll" advertising altogether, which is seen as increasingly ineffective.

The platform also boasts "viral-ready" content, with the ability for users to share entries and competitions on other social media, Facebook and Twitter, at the push of a button. The app has a strong social element itself, with User profiles showing off any videos they have previously uploaded and an Activity Stream displaying actions of Users and Brands they're following.

The video competitions app has been well-received by early adopters, with feedback such as "OMG! It's really good - something I've been looking for!" whilst others have likened it to a competition-based version of Twitter's Vine: "It's like Vine but with competitions... and I can win stuff on VidiBee, so why would I want to put my videos anywhere else?"

Features:
* Themed video clip competitions
* Set-duration competitions
* User and Brand created competitions
* Real-world prizes to be won
* Branded competition details pages
* Direct mobile video upload and recording
* Stop-motion capture recording facility
* 5-star video rating system
* Winner's area, showing past competitions
* Video and competition sharing through Facebook and Twitter
* Follow other users and brands
* Comment on videos
* Activity Stream
* 'Famous' Section for the best videos

The start-up's revenue is derived from placing branded competitions - which the app has been specifically designed for - all of which means VidiBee's users can enjoy watching, rating and sharing their favourite videos, with no fear of interruption from unwanted adverts.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, iPad
* Requires iOS 6.1 or later
* 20.0 MB free space

Pricing and Availability:
VidiBee 2.1.2 is free to download and use and is available worldwide through Apple's App Store in the Social Networking category. The London-based team is currently testing the service with select brands. Enquiries are welcome.
