		<description>Independent developer Esa Helttula today released Long Multiplication 1.2, a new update for the popular educational math app for iPhone and iPod touch devices. Long Multiplication allows the user to study and practice the standard pen and paper algorithm for multiplying large numbers. The method breaks down a multiplication problem into a series of easier multiplications. Long Multiplication features an intuitive interface with customizable colors and other settings.</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><!--Amazon_CLS_IM_START--><p>Espoo, Finland &#8211; Independent developer Esa Helttula today is pleased to announce the release of Long Multiplication 1.2, a new version of the popular educational math app for iPhone and iPod touch. Long Multiplication was the first long multiplication app in the iTunes App Store. The app can be used to teach and study the long multiplication method. </p>
<p>The Long Multiplication Method Step by Step</p>
<p>The long multiplication method is the standard pen and paper algorithm for multiplying numbers with several digits. The method breaks down a multiplication problem into a series of easier multiplications. The Long Multiplication app allows the user to solve the problems step by step and animates all the steps.</p>
<p>The Interface Supports Learning</p>
<p>Wrong answers are never penalized in this app. If the user presses the wrong button the answer will just appear above the keyboard but it will not move. &#8220;Because no wrong entries are allowed the app provides a passive form of positive reinforcement and your child will likely improve in both confidence and competence with respect to the procedure&#8221;, said assistant professor of mathematics education Tim Pelton in his review of Column Subtraction, a sister app of Long Multiplication that uses the same kind of input method. </p>
<p>Solving long multiplication problems is also excellent addition and times tables practice. The app is easy to use and it has an intuitive interface with customizable colors and other settings.</p>
<p>The Long Multiplication app has the following settings:<br />
* The multiplicand can have up to 5 digits<br />
* The multiplier can have 1 or 2 digits<br />
* The current operation for each step can be hidden</p>
<p>Version 1.2 of the app has the following new features:<br />
* The operands for the current operation can be highlighted<br />
* There are 3 different themes: black, gray and gold<br />
* The speed of the animations can be set</p>
<p>Long Multiplication is just a one app in a series of popular educational math apps for iPhone. Some of my other mathematics apps are Long Division, Column Addition and Column Subtraction. I have also several apps that use alternative algorithms for pen and paper addition and subtraction.</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* iPhone and iPod touch<br />
* Requires iPhone OS 3.0 or later<br />
* 0.5 MB</p>
<p>Pricing and Availability:<br />
Long Multiplication 1.2 is only $0.99 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Education category.</p>

Impress your friends as you cook bacon right on your iPhone or iPod touch, taking it from Raw to Cooked by using virtual tongs to flip this universally delicious pork product. Shot in HB video (HB = Hot Bacon), this &#8220;game simulator&#8221; is the first of its kind, using full-motion video as the basis for the game. It will make everyone wonder: what&#8217;s that mouth-watering sizzle coming from your iPhone/iPod touch? Answer: ibacon!</p>
<p>ibacon takes full advantage of multi-touch, vibrate, and the accelerometer to:</p>
<p>* Pinch: Use your fingers to pinch the cooking tongs, and flip each individual slice of bacon to hot, smokey perfection!</p>
<p>* Pour: Drain off any accumulated bacon grease by tilting your device to the left.</p>
<p>* Shake: If your bacon sets off the smoke alarm, shake the device to turn on the exhaust fan and cool that bacon down!</p>
<p>* Splat: Swipe left or right to clear off grease splatters!</p>
<p>* Eat: When your bacon is perfectly cooked, press the &#8220;eat bacon&#8221; button and tilt the device to the right or left to eat your bacon (note: the author of this game does not condone eating raw or undercooked bacon &#8211; please be sure to cook your bacon fully before eating).</p>
<p>* Sights and Sounds: Hear your bacon crackle and pop as it cooks. See puffs of smoke and feel the device vibrate as grease splatters right on your screen (and the cook-top). You can almost smell that bacon-y goodness.</p>

<p>Questions and Answers<br />
Q: How will MonitorMyMac help me Monitor my Childrens Internet Usage?</p>
<p>A: If you install MonitorMyMac on your child&#8217;s computer they will be less likely to become exposed to the seedier side of the internet as they know you can monitor what they are doing. If you periodically check their screenshots you can be alerted to a potential problem before it occurs. </p>
<p>Being able to see what was on their screen and also what they were doing (via the webcam) gives you the ability to stay aware of what they are doing. Of course, they can quit MMS, but if they do &#8211; that&#8217;s your cue that they may be up to no good. Either way you are informed. Your child&#8217;s computer usage will not come as a surprise to you.</p>
<p>There are many products that are available to help you protect your children online. MonitorMyMac is not a replacement for them, it is an extra line of defence that may however make all the difference. MonitorMyMac can also be used to provide the evidence that is so often lacking when trying to establish a case against an internet predator.</p>

<p>&#8220;PocketMoney got started by users of MPG asking me for an app to track their money for the Newton 16 years ago,&#8221; said Hardy Macia, founder and CEO of Canterbury, New Hampshire based Catamount Software. &#8220;Since then PocketMoney has evolved with user&#8217;s major requests and my own experience of using it daily for my personal expenses and yearly to run reports to figure out my income taxes. The advanced iPhone platform and its capabilities has allowed me to expand PocketMoney to add pretty charts and budgeting capabilities. Moreover, it has also made it fun again to write software, so I&#8217;m looking forward to another 15 years of helping customers bring their financial house into order.&#8221;</p>
<p>Version 3.0 is a major update of PocketMoney, including speed improvements, bug fixes, and other new features that have been requested by users. The company first focused on improving the user interface as well as reports/charts to make them prettier and easier to use.

Reports display counts and percentages, and have a period picker to make viewing reports based on time quicker and easier. Additionally, reports also tally up subcategories into their parent category. As well, new icons were added for most of the major banks around the world. Users can add their own custom icons too.</p>

		<description>Juicy Bits today released 3D Camera 1.3.3, a free update for iPhone devices. 3D Camera makes it easy to create 3D photos and share them with friends on Facebook and Twitter. It creates color and grey anaglyph images that are viewed using common red/cyan 3D glasses, stereogram images that are viewed without glasses, and "wigglegram" images that produce a simulated 3D effect. 3D Camera earned 4.5 mice from Macworld and is frequently among the top 100 photography apps worldwide.</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><!--Amazon_CLS_IM_START--><p>Sammamish, Washington &#8211; Juicy Bits today released a free update to 3D Camera for iPhone, an app that makes it easy to create 3D photos and share them with friends on Facebook and Twitter. 3D Camera earned 4.5 mice (out of 5) from Macworld and is frequently among the top 100 photography apps worldwide.</p>
<p>To create a 3D image, left and right photos are captured using the built-in camera. An enhanced camera overlay includes three different alignment modes and a &#8220;ghost&#8221; feature to easily align the two images. If the left and right photos have already been taken, they can be selected from the iPhone photo album.</p>
<p>Next, the two images are repositioned to control the apparent depth of the final 3D photo. Moving the right image to the right causes it to recede back into the screen, while moving it to the left causes it to &#8220;pop out.&#8221; 3D Camera creates color and grey anaglyph images that are viewed using common red/cyan 3D glasses, stereogram images that are viewed without glasses (parallel and cross-eyed), and &#8220;wigglegram&#8221; images that produce a simulated 3D effect.</p>
<p>The final 3D photo can be saved to the iPhone photo album for later use, sent to a friend via e-mail, or sent to Facebook and Twitter. Many custom settings are available to control the size, quality, and method used to produce the final 3D image. A &#8220;More&#8221; button provides access to a short, online video tour and additional documentation.</p>
<p>Feature Highlights:<br />
* Enhanced camera that makes it easy to take two side-by-side photos<br />
* Three different camera alignment modes<br />
* Ability to send 3D photos to Facebook, Twitter, and e-mail<br />
* Touch interface to realign and reposition images<br />

* App setting to control the size of stereogram borders (and to eliminate them)<br />

* App setting to limit the maximum Twitter image dimensions (1024, 800, 640)<br />
* App setting to select the color anaglyph method (full color, half color, optimized, and red/blue)<br />
* App setting to bypass the introduction screen</p>
<p>Device Requirements:<br />
* Compatible with iPhone<br />
* Requires iPhone OS 3.1 or later<br />

Remarkably fast, PDF Checkpoint preflights, exports as images, splits and reduces size of multiple PDF files.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><!--Amazon_CLS_IM_START--><p>Toronto (ON), Canada &#8211; Zevrix Solutions today is pleased to announce the release of PDF Checkpoint 1.2, a feature update to its PDF preflight and conversion machine. Remarkably fast, PDF Checkpoint preflights, exports as images, splits and reduces size of multiple PDF files, and allows to route files according to preflight results. PDF Checkpoint is for users who need a fast, affordable and easy to use workflow solution in situations where expensive hi-end tools would be an overkill.</p>
<p>PDF Checkpoint is designed to help graphic designers, ad agencies, prepress houses and printers, and includes the following major solutions and benefits:</p>
<p>* Batch-process PDF files with a simple drag-and-drop<br />
* Quickly preflight PDF for common problems using preflight profiles<br />
* View all PDF fonts, colors, images and metadata at a glance<br />
* Route files into success/error folders according to preflight results<br />
* Split files into single page PDFs<br />
* Export PDF files into TIFF, JPEG and other image formats and specify output resolution, color and page scale</p>
<p>For example, users can convert a folder of PDF files to CMYK TIFF images with LZW compression at resolution 300 dpi while scaling each page by 50%. Or to reduce PDF file size by downsampling images to 72 dpi.</p>
<p>The new version lets users preserve transparency when exporting PDF to TIFF and PNG images. PDF Checkpoint is a new addition to the Zevrix family of quality control products, which already includes InPreflight for Adobe InDesign, and Graphic Inspector for raster and vector graphic files. </p>
<p>Pricing and availability:<br />
PDF Checkpoint 1.2 can be purchased from the Zevrix Solutions web site for $69.95 (USD), as well as from authorized resellers. PDF Checkpoint is currently bundled with free Graphic Inspector ($39.95 value). Trial is also available for download. PDF Checkpoint is available for Mac OS X 10.4.2-10.6 as a Universal Binary.</p>
