New York, NY – Simple, silly and surprisingly useful. The Status Symbols iPhone app came about after recognizing the need to communicate in loud places (concerts, bars) and quiet spaces (libraries, movies, funerals). Loud speakers drowning you out? Want to talk but your mouth is full?

Follow the arrow and find your friends. Next round on you but how many drinks to bring back? Number sign. Signals of distress or all systems go, minimalist illustrated graphics send a clear message. Come up with your own creative usage or be lazy and refer to our handy key. Soon to be universally recognized as the liberation of communication, status symbols = sign language for what’s on your mind.

Feature Highlights:
* Hand rendered, colorful graphics that can be read from across a room
* Communicate easily with recognizable symbols
* Simple tap to go back function

Minimum Requirements:

Incline Village, Nevada – Xeric Design, Ltd. is pleased to announce the release of EarthDesk 5, a major upgrade to its award-winning, real-time dynamic desktop map, for Macintosh OS X. EarthDesk 5.0 has been entirely rewritten in Cocoa, adds many new features and is fully compatible with both Leopard (OS X 10.5) and the upcoming Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6). 5.0.1 is an update to fix three issues uncovered since the release of 5.0.

EarthDesk replaces your static desktop with an image of the Earth showing current sun, moon and city illumination, as well as real-time global cloud coverage, allowing you to track hurricanes and other weather systems on your Macintosh or Windows desktop.

The software operates silently in the background, keeping your desktop updated while you work. Unlike a screen saver, which only appears when your system is idle, EarthDesk’s dynamic desktop is continuously displayed as your desktop background (and optionally as a screen saver).

Fixed in 5.0.1
* Fixed a permissions bug that caused the list in the Locations Tab to be blank when installed for “all users”
* Fixed a bug that prevented clouds from working or crashed on systems with non-English date formats
* Fixed a bug in the “borderless window” option that caused a rare crash especially when waking from sleep

Major new features introduced in 5.0:
* Faster rendering, lower processor usage, more robust and a cleaner interface
* Seasonal maps, with snow and vegetation levels changing month-to-month
* Supports higher resolution map and cloud data on large displays
* Adjustable brightness and background color
* Starfield background option
* Updated political map now displays city lights and/or moonlight
* Supports dual GPUs controlling a single screen as with the new unibody Macs
* Checks for updates automatically

Other improvements in 5.0:
* The globe projection can now be positioned anywhere on the screen
* EarthDesk now properly handles monitor attach/detach while running
* When overlaying desktop pictures, the image aspect ratio is respected
* Original desktop restored upon quit, including periodic picture changing
* EarthDesk now displays details of the cloud capture date and time
* The evaluation watermark in the unlicensed version is now softer

EarthDesk 5.0 is a full rewrite, with many internal improvements:
* EarthDesk’s rendering engine has been fully rewritten in Cocoa
* 32/64 bit application and ready for Snow Leopard
* No dependence on older Carbon or QuickDraw technologies

Pricing and Availability:
EarthDesk 5.0.1 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or newer. Single user copies may be purchased online for $24.95 (USD). Upgrades are available for $12.95 for licensed users of version 4 and $17.95 for licensed users of versions 1, 2 and 3. For more information and to download an evaluation version, please visit Xeric Design online. Editorial Review copies and high resolution screenshots are available to qualified persons upon request.

Kitchener, Ontario Canada – RapidWeaver theme developer seyDoggy today is excited to release Lights2 Pro RapidWeaver, a completely rebuilt successor to the extremely popular Lights theme originally created by Med Designs’ Scott Williams. Since shutting down their RapidWeaver theme operations in late 2008, Med Designs has exclusively trusted seyDoggy Web and Graphic Design for their theme support and distribution. seyDesign is proud to be the sole distributor of the entire Med Designs line, and successfully upgraded all Med Designs themes to RapidWeaver 4 compatibility, bolstering them wherever possible with extra features.

“One of the things that drew me to the Scott [Williams] Med Designs theme library was the original Lights theme” says seyDoggy Lead Developer Adam Merrifield. “When Med Designs closed up shop I knew that the Lights theme had to live on. It’s timeless, elegant, and open to so many possibilities.”

Never one to let a great RapidWeaver theme die, seyDoggy would like to introduce the totally rebuilt Lights2 Pro. Lights2 is a polished, highly flexible theme capable of meeting a wide variety of design needs, from blogs to photo albums and everything in between.

With ExtraContent, it is now possible to add a personal touch to previously unreachable areas of a page, by adding a lifestream (Twitter, LastFM, Delicious, etc.) below a blog page, adding a Web 2.0 footer to a site’s file sharing page, or performing another of the many potential modifications.

Minimum Requirements:
* Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 Tiger or 10.5.2 Leopard
* Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel
* RapidWeaver 3.6.7 or RapidWeaver 4.x

Atlanta, Georgia – JL Software is pleased to announce the publication of the all-new Handbook of High-Risk Obstetrics for iPhone or iPod touch. The Handbook is written for the busy medical student, resident in Obstetrics, or practicing clinician who needs a comprehensive and up-to-date yet concise guide to caring for the woman with a high-risk pregnancy.

Written by R. Harold Holbrook Jr, a board-certified physician with 22 years of experience in academic perinatology, the Handbook covers all major areas of high-risk obstetrics, and is cross-referenced and indexed with over 3,200 keywords. The Handbook provides a quick review of any perinatal topic at the bedside or in the office. Physicians can rapidly check diagnostic criteria, patient counseling information, and treatment options for the woman with a complicated pregnancy.

The Handbook covers the following general areas:
* Pregnancy in patients with coexisting medical problems
* Complications of pregnancy
* Preterm labor and delivery
* Preterm rupture of the membranes
* Management of complicated labor and delivery
* Fetal complications and diseases
* Genetic counseling for risks of fetal anomalies

The complications of pregnancy covered include mild and severe preeclampsia, eclampsia, antepartum bleeding, preterm labor, preterm premature rupture of the membranes, and others.

Diagnostic steps and treatment are based on the latest information from the American College of Obstericians and Gynecologists, the CDC, and recent published studies in the major obstetrical journals. Topic pages in the Handbook of High-Risk Obstetrics are extensively cross-referenced with links to all associated topics, allowing the physician or student to start with an overview and quickly consult related information.

The entire text is indexed using more than 3,200 keywords, enabling the busy medical student, resident, or practicing clinician to quickly find all relevant pages via the intuitive search feature. Users can also easily bookmark any page for future quick reference. There is no limit on the number of bookmarks, double-bookmarking is automatically prevented, and bookmarks can be added or removed at any time. To retrieve a bookmarked page, the user simply chooses the Bookmarks icon and taps the desired page from the presented list.

Copy and paste of any text in the Handbook is supported, so clinicians can copy and email or copy and SMS-message any of the numerous protocol lists, medication options, or differential diagnosis summaries to colleagues on-call or at referring institutions.

Edit mode features autoscrolling when sketching to the screen edge. Users can now also email diagrams to Windows users with standard mail attachments.
