QuickerTek Brings Fast 802.11AC Wireless to Apple MacBook Air or Pro - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Finally, 802.11ac wireless comes to the Apple MacBook Air and Pro laptops. Replacing the stock wireless card, QuickerTek's new QCard2 provides all of the speed to some of the slightly older MacBook Pros and Airs. It goes in the standard wireless card socket, so users don't sacrifice a USB or other external connection port. For only $149 USD, Apple MacBook users get all the wireless speed available from any 802.11ac.

Wichita, Kansas - 802.11 ac wireless is fast - as much as twice the speed of the previous 802.11 n wireless of the built-in MacBook wireless card. This high-speed wireless provides streaming video, video conferencing with no hiccups, fast media file downloads and nearly instant web browsing.

QuickerTek makes the upgrade easy. Any MacBook Pro or Air running MacOS X 10.8.4 and a PCIe bus, (which includes most newer MacBook Air and MacBook Pro models) is a candidate. The QCard2 package comes with complete instructions (additional instructions are also available on the QuickerTek website). The QCard2 also comes with all the tools necessary to install the upgrade. Thanks to the engineers at Apple, and their well thought out design, it's very easy to install the QCard2. And by doing it yourself, you save money - no "hidden costs" for repair shop labor.

The QuickerTek acHex antenna upgrade brings the wireless signal strength of 6 external antennas to the Apple AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule products. This combination provides a powerful wireless system for home or office and are natural upgrades providing a complete wireless speed update.

For all those users who bought a MacBook with 802.11n wireless, the QCard2 is a quick and easy fix. Instead of suffering with slow wireless, those users can now upgrade and continue to use the MacBook that is ideal in every way except wireless speed.

QCard2 Features
* Delivers the fastest wireless speeds to slightly older MacBooks
* Leaves USB ports free
* No extra hardware to carry
* User installable
* Very low cost

Specifications:
* V1 for the MacBook Air
* Dimensions: 39mm x 19mm
* Ports: 2

* V2 for the MacBook Pro
* Dimensions: 45mm x 18mm
* Ports: 3

Includes:
* QCard Replacement Wi-Fi card
* T5 Torx Screwdriver
* Pentalobe Screwdriver for MacBook

The QCard2 is currently part of a money-saving bundle. For a limited time, the acHex 6-antenna upgraded Apple Base Station or Apple Time Capsule is bundled with the QCard2.

Limited Time QCard2 Offers:
* QCard2 and acHex upgrade for customer's Apple AirPort Base Station or Apple Time Capsule Extreme $298
* QCard2 and acHex upgrade for new Apple Time Capsule $497
* QCard2 and acHex upgrade for new Apple 2TB Time Capsule $697
* QCard2 and acHex upgrade for new Apple 3TB Time Capsule $797

FlikBak Proves Beyond Doubt that Creating Videos is Better with Friends - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FlikBak, LLC announces FlikBak, a short form video platform that lets users create spontaneous and collaborative mashup videos with friends, and then either keep them private or share them via Twitter and Facebook. They're always fun, and a great way for friends to connect and collaborate. The resulting videos are anywhere from weird to profound. FlikBak is free and available now in the App Store, and optimized for iPhone 5.

Cupertino, California - iPhone users who are looking for a fun new way to connect with others and create interesting, unique, entertaining and sometimes outright hilarious videos, can now head to the App Store and download FlikBak 1.0.2 - and prove beyond all doubt that creating videos is much better with friends.

Developed by FlikBak, LLC, FlikBak is an extremely easy to use short form video platform that lets users create spontaneous and collaborative mashup videos with friends. However, it differs from typical mashup apps because of an outstanding feature that might just re-invent the entire genre: it's 100% automatic.

Here's how FlikBak works:
* Users record a short video and send it to a select list of friends
* Each friend watches the video and records one of their own
* FlikBak automatically combines the individual videos and sends the unique mashup version back. There's no editing, no optimizing, and no tinkering or tweaking whatsoever

As can be imagined, the resulting videos are anywhere from weird to profound; but no matter what, they're always fun, and a great way for friends to connect and collaborate regardless of whether they're on the other side of the city - or on the other side of the planet.

Plus, users can choose to keep their videos private, or share the brilliance - or spread the embarrassment - with their fans and followers on Twitter and Facebook.

"The biggest problem with social and collaboration apps is that so many of them don't bring people together in a shared, unique experience that brightens their day and puts a smile on their face," commented David Kusek, Founder, FlikBak, LLC. "And that's where FlikBak stands out. Yes, it's meticulously designed so that it automatically creates mashup videos. But in its essence, it's all about helping people capture the moment, share it with friends, and get their flick back!" FlikBak, the fun new no-cost mashup app that proves beyond all doubt that creating videos is better with friends, is available now in the App Store.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 8.5 MB

Pricing and Availability:
FLIKBAK: Video Mashup Maker 1.0.2 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Social Networking category.

App Icon: http://apps.appshout.com/flikbak/images/icon.png

For FlikBak founder David Kusek, social media didn't truly feel social without the ability to collaborate with friends. He saw a missed opportunity in many photo and video apps on the market today-- social interaction during the creation process. After 8 years working as a business intelligence specialist identifying ways for organizations to improve, David decided to apply his experience and perspective to FlikBak in October 2013. He wanted the app to be straightforward and accessible, so he kept the process simple to focus on the spontaneity, creativity, and community that's fundamental to FlikBak. Hilarious, fun, and entertaining themes unexpectedly pop up when friends create video mashups together. David, a native of Pittsburgh and University of Pittsburgh graduate, wants social interaction to not only be in the consumption of media, but in the creation. He's always eager to see what's next in a FlikBak. All Material and Software (C) Copyright 2014 FlikBak. All Rights Reserved.

Prep for iMovie on iOS - Gets Multilingual Videos - in Apple App Store - Published on 06/12/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Learn how to use Apple's iMovie on Apple iOS devices with these simple video lessons. Users can choose to watch with subtitles in English, French, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese. All new videos teach the latest version of iMovie, narrated by Alex (Siri's cousin). He won't bore you! Prep for iMovie on iOS - a fun way to learn. There is a total of 23 minutes of video content contained in the app. It will run on Apple's iPhone and iPad with iOS 7 or greater.

Mesa, Arizona - "Prep for iMovie on iOS" has just undergone a major content update. All video tutorials now teach the latest version of iMovie for iOS's iPad and iPhone. All finger swipes were photographed in two camera angles, for painstaking accuracy. In addition, the videos use visual highlighting to indicate the next step finger-action the user must take. There is no comporable learning product on the market.

Since great illustrations of Apple iOS devices are very difficult to create, these tutorials lead the viewer through the process. Prompting with graphics, and then directing the user to the next step. This method makes these iMovie video tutorials very easy to follow. The app doesn't just tell you what is happening, it actually prompts, and then shows you.

Not to be outdone, all 23 minutes of videos are subtitled in English, French, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese. The app is localized in those languages as well, for the international market. Users must activate their subtitle setting from Settings/General/Accessibility/Hearing Impaired to use the subtitle feature. Bringing a video to full screen shows the subtitle caption control, where the exact language can be selected.

The narration voice is infamous "Alex" - a very real computer generated voice. We think he's Siri's cousin. Alex is here to teach, but you might find him entertaining as well. He cuts right to the point, and was very easy to work with.

Previous versions of this app have taught thousands of people how to edit on iMovie, we believe this version will appeal to a much wider audience. This app is now Universal, for iPad and iPhone running iOS 7 or greater. All of the depictions were filmed from an iPad. iPhone use of iMovie is similar, but not exactly the same. Most of the concepts and actions are comparable or nearly equal.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 7.0 or later
* Universal Application
* 221 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Prep for iMovie on iOS 3.0 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.
