App Tamer 2.0.4 saves power, quiets fans on Yosemite - Published on 10/08/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

St. Clair Software today introduces an update for App Tamer, its Macintosh utility that manages applications to deliver more efficient CPU usage, increased battery life and quieter operation. App Tamer's unique AutoStop capability automatically slows down or pauses applications when you switch away from them, and then restarts them when you click back to them. This version delivers full compatibility with Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite.

Denver, Colorado - St. Clair Software today is pleased to announce the availability of a free update to its App Tamer utility for Mac OS X. App Tamer 2.0.4 delivers compatibility with Mac OS 10.10 Yosemite, which is due to be released by Apple any day.

Some Mac applications, especially web browsers, continue running tasks or animations even when they're supposed to be idle in the background. This can consume valuable processing power, reducing battery life and producing heat that increases fan noise. App Tamer's unique AutoStop capability automatically slows down or pauses these applications when you switch away from them, and then restarts them when you click back to them. This frees your CPU and reduces power consumption.

App Tamer comes pre-configured to automatically manage Safari, Firefox, Chrome, Spotlight, Time Machine, Word and many other apps when they're in the background. And customizing it for other applications is just a mouse click away.

Pricing and Availability:
App Tamer will operate on any Macintosh running Mac OS X version 10.7 or higher. You can try App Tamer free for 15 days. A license to continue using it after the trial period is $14.95 (USD). If you bought App Tamer 2.0 this update is free. If you purchased App Tamer 1.x after July 1, 2013 the update is also free. If you purchased your license before that date you can upgrade for $7.95 (USD).

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The digital magazine, Scale Aircraft Modelling, is published by Guideline Publications in the United Kingdom, a well-known publisher specializing in hobby titles and it will now reach Magzter's 22 million users on the global newsstand. Scale Aircraft Modelling brings readers the very best that the modelling world has to offer. Other hobby-focused publications have often tried to ape the style set by Scale Aircraft Modelling but have never quite matched up to it.

New York, New York - In its 36th year of publication, Scale Aircraft Modelling brings its brand of enjoyable, honest information, presented in an easy-to-read format to the world's largest and fastest growing global digital multi-platform newsstand and magazine store, Magzter.

The digital magazine, Scale Aircraft Modelling, is published by Guideline Publications in the United Kingdom; a well-known publisher specializing in hobby titles and it will now reach Magzter's 22 million users on the global newsstand.

Aircraft modellers need look no further to decide their next purchase to assemble for that empty spot in their showcase as Scale Aircraft Modelling brings readers the very best that the modelling world has to offer. Primarily used in fields like engineering, architecture, film making, military command and salesmanship, scale model building today has turned into a popular and fun hobby. All scale models are based on the same principles and must meet the same general requirements to be functional. The most familiar scale models represent the physical appearance of an object in miniature, but there are other kinds too.

Aircraft modelers fall into more than one category; where their fancy takes them. Many aircraft modelers focus on the depiction of real-life aircrafts, but there a smaller group of modelers who are mused by 'bending' history a little by making models of aircraft that either never actually existed, or even by painting them in radical colors.

In the current issue Kitty Hawk makes its very first SAM cover! You will also get the scoop on the #1 selling Aviation Plastic kits with superb build features, Editor Karl Robinson shares his notes on the items of interest in civilian air modelling and you will find all the latest news, reviews and historical references. The annual subscription of Scale Aircraft Modelling on Magzter is priced at USD 89.99

We are very pleased to be associated with Guideline Publications and look forward to an exciting relationship ahead," said Girish Ramdas, CEO, Magzter Inc.

Skater Now Available on the iOS App Store - Published on 10/09/14

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Award-winning game development studio, Frosch Media, today announces Skater, their first-of-a-kind skateboarding game for iOS devices. Frosch's game offers authentic open-world skateboarding in some of the world's best known skate parks, with a clever social twist. Players to create their own trick runs and storing them in the cloud, so that others can copy and improve on them. The game offers an endless stream of user-generated content that can be explored in open-world gameplay environments.

Sydney, Australia - The Australian award-winning game development studio Frosch Media, today announced their first-of-a-kind skateboarding game, Skater has launched on the iOS App Store for iPhone and iPod touch. Focusing on the most fun aspects of actual skating, and introducing a unique new cloud-based social interaction feature at its center, Skater offers an endless stream of user-generated content that can be explored in open-world gameplay environments - set in the most authentic virtual versions of real-world skate parks ever seen in a game.

Skater, which started gathering industry attention under the title Touch Skate when still in development last year, brings a clever social interaction twist to the genre, allowing players to create their own trick runs and storing them in the cloud, so that others can copy and improve on them. The line between single and multiplayer experiences is blurred unlike in any other previous skating game, enabling players to save their favorite trick runs and share them with the world. In turn, they get to discover and copy runs that others have created - giving them access to a seemingly endless number of new ideas to explore.

"We wanted to make a game that captures some of the experience of skateboarding itself," said Dain Hedgpeth, Director for Frosch Media, who likens the game to taking part in the world's biggest online skate session. "Skater celebrates style and individuality, knowing that different people see different things in a spot and skate it in their own unique way. Enabling players to tap into and contribute to an infinite pool of trick runs from around the world makes for a truly unique experience, and we really can't wait to see all the cool ideas people will come up with!"

Gameplay takes place in iconic skate parks and street spots, such as Stoner Park, Woodward Plaza, The Berrics, Carlsbad Gap and Hollywood High. Frosch Media, who say that more spots are already in the works, have recreated these legendary spots faithfully, even down to stickers, graffiti and street signs - all based on architectural plans, height maps and photos taken on-site. Besides these famous skate parks, the skaters and developers behind the game have also teamed up with industry leading gear brands, including etnies, Lakai, eS, Emerica, Zero, Toy Machine, Foundation, Baker, Deathwish, Shake Junt, Bro Style, Pig Wheels, Sptifire, Thunder and Venture.

Players control their board and shoes in a very direct way that is easy to pick up and makes ideal use of the touch screen, allowing Skater to capture the flow and feel of skating more than any other game for the current generation of devices. This also allows Skater to be the first touch-based skating game to include the full range of street tricks, including tricks with body spins such as 360s and big flips - which can be used in combination with manuals, nose manuals and every kind of grind and slide.

With its simple-to-pick-up controls, authentic spots and gear, organic gameplay and its unique social engagement element, which provides an easy way for players to continuously highlight and find new things to do in each location, Skater makes for an easy buy not just for skateboarders, but for anybody enjoying good mobile games.

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

Pricing and Availability:
Skater 1.3 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
