SCSC Publishes New Article on Hard Disk and Solid State Drive Problems - Published on 06/05/15
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Virginia based Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC has released a new web based document titled "The Signs and Symptoms of Hard Disk and Solid State Drive Problems." The new article adds information relative to solid state drives which was missing in its now dated predecessor. It describes a host of problems and their related symptoms that behave very much like hard disk or solid state drive problems but they may or may not be actual problems.
Reston, Virginia - Software and Computer Systems Company, LLC (SCSC) has released a new web based document titled "The Signs and Symptoms of Hard Disk and Solid State Drive Problems." The document replaces its predecessor, which was titled "Bad Hard Drive SIgns and Symptoms." The new article adds information relative to solid state drives which was missing in its now dated predecessor. Additionally, it describes a host of problems and their related symptoms that behave very much like hard disk or solid state drive problems but they may or may not be actual problems. Aside from its informational value, the document can be used by people currently using the company's drive and system testing application, Scannerz for Mac OS X. The set of pages uses SCSC's new hybrid desktop/mobile website format.
"We've been migrating, updating, and periodically adding to the original article, but it was time for an overhaul, and this is it," stated an SCSC spokesman. "Over the past two years it became quite clear that people visiting the site aren't looking for long winded technical descriptions describing how this or that works, they want to find out if they have problems, and if they do, they want to know what they are. Sometimes what appears to be a drive problem can actually be a problem with the logic board. In other cases, there may not even be a problem with the drive or the system, it may just be the way the user is using the system. With this in mind the main article links to four other pages that address actual hard drive and SSD problems, system problems, software problems, and finally user problems. Hopefully people will find the article useful."
The article starts with it's main page which classifies several symptoms of hard disk and SSD problems into possible sources and provides links to the other pages comprising all content. When someone encounters a problem, they can look at the symptoms and then view the appropriate links. The set of web pages use SCSC's new hybrid desktop/mobile format and can be view by anything as small as an iPhone to as big as a desktop unit with a large display.
SCSC currently produces Scannerz with Performance Probe, Phoenix, and FSE/FSE-Lite. This line of products for Mac OS X which have been designed to help identify many of the problems identified in the article.

KTV Launches Storage Hunters UK: The Game on mobile - Published on 06/05/15
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UKTV today launches Storage Hunters UK: The Game 1.0, its official app based on the hit show Storage Hunters UK. Just like the popular TV series, Sean Kelly hosts the auctions and players bid on bins, hoping to win virtual cash against their friends and characters from the show. Not only are players aiming to make the biggest profit, they are trying to hunt down and collect every item the game has to offer. With a huge amount of items to collect, it's up to the player to find them all.
Liversedge, United Kingdom - UKTV and GameDigits Ltd. have teamed up to create the most advanced auctioning game available to date. Players take on the role of a professional auction buyer, visiting storage auctions with the aim of finding hidden treasure and making virtual money. They must pit their wits against the characters from the TV show, who have their own personalities and bidding characteristics. If players hold their nerve and bid the right amount, they could walk away with a huge virtual profit!
For the first time ever, fans and friends can now play their favourite auctioning show on the App Store and Google Play anytime, anywhere.
While players progress, they unlock bigger and better auctions and higher quality items. As players succeed, they also gain additional skills, which can be used at the auctions and have more opportunity to play strategically in order to bag a real bargain.
Not only are players aiming to make the biggest profit, they are trying to hunt down and collect every item the game has to offer. With a huge amount of items to collect, it's up to the player to find them all. This includes very rare items that could be hidden from view or inside safes, requiring lock-picks to open.
Players can also play head to head with friends and strangers alike in the online multiplayer mode, taking the game to a whole new level. It also features leaderboards, achievements and allows players to connect with Facebook to use their profile within the game.
As with the hit TV series Storage Hunters UK on Dave, the game is hosted by Sean Kelly and features all the favourite characters from the show, including their iconic bidding styles and unique calls. Since launching in June in conjunction with the new series of Storage Hunters UK, it has already reached No.1 on the App Store and No.1 in 'Top Selling New Apps' on Google Play.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 47.3 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Storage Hunters UK: The Game 1.0 is only 0.79 GBP (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available through the UK App Store in the Games category. There is also an Android version available on Google Play.

DayBack Calendar for FileMaker Adds Multi-Day Resource Sceduling - Published on 06/05/15
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SeedCode today announces DayBack Calendar, the add-on scheduling calendar for FileMaker Pro Databases. DayBack Calendar now lets users balance their workload more easily with Multi-Day Resource Scheduling. Users can see their workload as a series of columns, each representing the tasks, activities or appointments allocated to each resource. This new view is delivered as an in-app update, so there is no need for existing calendar users to re-integrate DayBack Calendar with their database.
Seattle, Washington - DayBack Calendar, the add on scheduling calendar for FileMaker Pro Databases, now lets users balance their workload more easily with Multi-Day Resource Scheduling. Users now scan across their resources two weeks at a time, looking for gaps in the schedule, or resources that are overextended. This new view is delivered as an in-app update so existing calendar users can click to install this from within their own copy: there is no need to re-integrate DayBack Calendar with their database.
"If you've already integrated DayBack Calendar into your FileMaker solution you know that we're releasing regular in-app updates to add new features," says SeedCode's John Sindelar "This innovation means that DayBack just keeps getting better once you start using it, and it we look forward to deploying more great new stuff this way."
Multi-Day Resource scheduling is something you won't see in Google Calendar or iCal. It let's you see your workload as a series of columns, each representing the tasks, activities or appointments allocated to each resource. These "resources" can be people, trucks, rooms--anything that customers are competing for within your company.
Once your workload is allocated among resources this way, the Multi-Day Resource view lets you scan across these columns for up to 14 days at a time. This makes it easy to spot gaps in the schedule. SeedCode's CEO, John Sindelar, explains how customers use this: "A contractor may call asking if they can get a piece of heavy equipment late in the afternoon one day next week. Using this multi-day view it's easy to filter down to just those pieces of equipment that can do the job, and then to scan across the days to see on which day one of these pieces is free for a couple of hours in the afternoon. If your resources are people, this view also makes it really easy to see who has more or less work allocated to them and to easily drag the overage to an under-allocated individual."
Drag-and-drop rescheduling on the the multi-day view makes balancing resource allocations easily.
DayBack Calendar is Completely unlocked and can be added to existing FileMaker databases following simple step-by-step instructions. It can be "linked" to your file in as little as ten minutes, or pasted into your file as a new layout. In addition to Multi-Day Resource Scheduling, DayBack Calendar offers:
* A fast,intuitive interface
* No plugins to install
* Does not require FileMaker Server
* Unlimited resources and filters
* Drag & Drop scheduling
* Color-coded events
* Translate to another language or your own company's vocabulary (5 languages supported by default)
* Configurable popovers including adding your own buttons
* Use popovers or your own layouts for editing
* iPad compatibility
* In-app updates
* World class support

Is Your Phone Slowly Killing You? This New App Can Help - Published on 06/05/15
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Boston based Atlantia Software today introduces The No Phone Challenge 1.0 for iOS, its new app that aims to liberate you from your smart phone addiction by coaching you through a 30 day challenge. Open the app every day and you'll find a grid of days showing your current progress. Tap on a day in order to start a session, the app will force you to put your phone face down for the duration of the session and will give you audio feedback when you've reached the allotted time.
Boston, Massachusetts - Our smart phones, we truly love them. They help us stay connected, be productive, and keep us perpetually entertained. But is there a dark side to all that high-tech goodness? According to a new app, the answer is a resounding "yes." Released today by Atlantia Software, The No Phone Challenge is a new app that aims to liberate you from your smart phone addiction by coaching you through a 30 day challenge. The premise is simple, it's impossible to completely ditch your beloved device, so instead, just put it down for an hour each day, for 30 days. Open the app every day and you'll find a grid of days showing your current progress. Tap on a day in order to start a session, the app will force you to put your phone face down for the duration of the session and will give you audio feedback when you've reached the allotted time. Pick up your phone before the time is up and you fail the challenge, succeed and the app will let you share your achievement with friends
via standard iOS sharing options.
"I'm obviously a huge fan of smart phones, I make my living writing software for them" said Nick Bonatsakis, developer at Atlantia Software and the app's creator. "But, I started to notice that tons of people just can't step away from their devices, opting to obsessively check Facebook and E-mail over enjoying in-person conversation", he added. He went on to say, "After coming across a number of interesting pieces of research that demonstrated quantitative adverse physical and menal effects of smart phone over-use, I decided I wanted to do something about it, so I created this app. There are a bunch of other apps that track your phone usage, but I've found that an approach which treats the problem as more of a fitness goal just makes more sense." Finally, he remarked, "To me, it's really not just about putting down your phone, but also about doing something human while it's away. So, the app encourages you to take baby steps, by only stepping away for 60 minutes per day, and giving
you suggestions for things you may want to do to fill that time, like sharing a meal with a loved one or reading a book."
Feature Highlights:
* Easily track your No Phone progress at a glance
* Challenge timer and movement detection to help ensure you keep your phone face down
* Social sharing of challenge milestones
* Helpful tips and articles regarding risks of smart phone over-use
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, and iPod touch
* Optimized for iPhone 5, iPhone 6/6 Plus
* Requires iOS 8.0 or later
Pricing and Availability
Available right now, The No Phone Challenge 1.0 is $1.99 and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Health & Fitness category.

Rockstar Rampage - an eccentric rockstar wrecking hotel rooms - Published on 06/05/15
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Games Of The Universe GmbH today introduces Rockstar Rampage 1.1 for iOS, a game about a freaky rockstar on world tour wrecking an arcade of hotel rooms. Inspired by the original Rampage in which huge monsters destroy cities or fighting games like Final Fight, the game takes this kind of old school gaming to a new level in a comical, rock music- and celebrity scandals-themed game. Featuring simple and intuitive touchscreen controls, a high popularity score unlocks extraordinary weapons.
2502 Biel, Switzerland - A game made for arcade players, preferably with old school gaming skills but also for the average boy or girl who just wants to do a hotel room rampage for fun. It plays like a 2D-beatem up with digitized characters and is optimized for touchscreen controls. Your style of play is relevant as after every hotel room a jury of celebrities rates your actions for popularity score. A high popularity score unlocks extraordinary weapons. Developed by a fresh switzerland-based studio called Games Of The Universe, this unconventional action game is available now on the App Store.
Features
* 25 game level hotel rooms to wreck
* Progressing story-mode or free-mode
* 5 boss level fights versus very upset hotel managers
* Unlock 25 extraordinary rockalicious weapons
* Every level performance is rated by a jury of celebrity-parody characters
* Various bonus stages (arm wrestling, beer drinking, jailbreak and more)
* Localized in English, Spanish, German, French
* Digitized lifelike characters
* 100+ moves and objects to use
* Simple and intuitive touchscreen controls
* Devices/Platforms: iPhone (OpenGL ES 2.0 required), iPad, iPod third generation
* Playable in landscape and portrait orientation
Game design, Graphics and Soundtrack:
The graphics are a mix of digitized actors and illustrated artwork, similar to games like the original Mortal Combat or Pit Fighter. The game graphics have a cartoon-like look which adds to the comedic nature of the game. The illustrated artwork of the objects combined with the digitized characters creates a unique look, rarely used in videogames. The soundtrack is exclusively produced for the game and features various smash hits like "Demolition Dance," "Eye Of The Camel" or "Temple Of Boom."
Game Controls:
The player controls the Rockstar in a "click and do"-manner using multitouch functionalities like tapping, drawing a line, drawing a circle or pinching, somehow similar to classic games like "The Sims" or "The Secret Of Monkey Island."
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 266 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Rockstar Rampage 1.1 has several bugs fixed and a tuned user interface. It is free and available worldwide exclusively through the AppStore in the Games category. Now it's your turn - let there be rampage!
