Paris, France - eCOMPOSITE just released an update to its popular GPSRecorder iPhone app. This new 2.0 release adds features that users have been asking for with the new iPhone 3GS. GPSRecorder now combines the digital compass available on the iPhone 3GS with geo positioning information on the same screen. It’s now even more easy to find your way, even if you have no internet at all.

GPSRecorder also adds an instant map feature leveraging the new Map available in the latest version of the OS. You immediately get your position and you can browse your map. This feature requires internet connection through wifi or cell network.

“The new features are directed at hikers, but the app is still great for photographers wishing to geotag their pictures” says Cyril Godefroy, the developer of the App. “Latest version still has the export features to HoudahGeo and HoudahGPS for example, among other export possibilities.”

GPSRecorder can export tracks to multiple destinations: by email, directly to HoudahGPS, to trailmapping or EveryTrail. GPX and KML are the two standards supported. GPSRecorder also still has great energy-saving features to record hours and hours of hiking or shooting, ability to resume a track and a simple but powerful interface that focuses on info, not gadgets.

Odessa, Ukraine - Readdle, a leading developer of applications and games for iPhone and iPod Touch, has announced the updated version of the Chieftent application, which was formerly known as Basetent. The application allows Basecamp subscribers to manage projects directly from the iPhone wherever they are. Chieftent stands out thanks to the native Basecamp look and feel optimized for the iPhone screen.

As a result of negotiations between Readdle and 37signals, a re-branded and improved Cheiftent application has been listed on 37signals web site (in the ‘Extras & Add-on’ section). The additional Time Tracking feature along with a unique option to choose projects for syncing further reinforces the advantage of Chieftent among other Basecamp applications.

The Time Tracking feature further supplements the list of supported functionality, making the application a robust and worthy competitor for any other Basecamp-friendly application. One of the main Basecamp functions, which is now available for iPhone users, allows users to keep track of who spends how much time on which task as well as tracking time by using a to-do list.

“In considering new options which could be implemented in order to increase the convenience of using the Chieftent application, we gathered and analyzed extensive user feedback. Consequently, we concluded that a missing function for Basecamp iPhone users is the ability to choose the projects they are interested in.” - explains Alexander Tyagulsky, Readdle.com CMO. “The advantage of this feature is that iPhone users now have the ability to save time and increase productivity by only working on projects which have been modified.”

Minimum Requirements:

Windsor, NY/USA - TheMacBundles offers a way to buy 9 great Mac programs, including Trampoline, for the bundle price of $49.99 until July 20. For the next 10 days, customers will also receive Dock Gone and one other program as a bonus.

A new idea in Mac software distribution, TheMacBundles acts as a “Farmer’s Market” for software, connecting consumers directly with high quality software titles in a way that is fair to developers while introducing consumers to titles they otherwise may not learn about, such as Trampoline.

Trampoline is the shortest route to the tools you use most. Pressing a hot key presents the Trampoline directly under the mouse with your core tools, the things you use all the time, all around. Each icon is then only a few pixels away in any direction. To get to something, you just move your hand: left for one program, right for another, up for another. Over time, you become used to not just the look of the icons, but their placement. Your hand develops muscle memory to make moving to your most used tools quicker and more natural. Trampoline stays out of the way, taking no space on screen until its hot key is pressed, at which point it appears directly under the cursor.

Dock Gone is a System Preferences pane that keeps the Dock out of your way until you want it back. Unlike the built-in “Hide Dock” command in OS X, Dock Gone keeps the Dock hidden at all times, so that it never appears when you don’t need it. As soon as you want to access the Dock again, just use Dock Gone’s menu item or press its hot key, and the Dock will reappear just where you left it.

“It’s a privilege to have been selected by TheMacBundles,” said Joseph Wardell, founder of Old Jewel Software, “All the software that TheMacBundles has featured is of the highest quality, so being associated with these products is an honor. Hopefully Trampoline’s participation will help to extend TheMacBundles’ already strong reputation for great mac software at an amazing price.”

The brainchild of longtime independent software developer Stephen Becker, TheMacBundles is a custom fit for a developer like Old Jewel Software. Unlike some previous bundles, almost all proceeds from TheMacBundles go directly to the participating developers, not to an intermediary. There are no “filler” programs in TheMacBundles. Every product is a leader in its product segment, and every participating developer has a reputation for providing outstanding customer service and technical support. Kagi, the highly respected pioneer of e-commerce services, is promoting the bundle. Along with Trampoline, TheMacBundles includes these well known Mac products:

* Caboodle
* IPNetMonitorX
* MailTags
* PrintMagic
* ShutterBug
* Smart Trash
* Typinator
* Voila
* World Clock Deluxe

TheMacBundles presents a great opportunity for consumers to get an excellent deal on some great Mac software. For just $49.99 (USD), users can purchase ten programs, every one of which is a proven product with a great track record. All products purchased are the latest version with no limitations, and a license purchased from TheMacBundles is entitled to the same level of support and the same reduced price for upgrades that apply to users who paid the full retail price for the software.

Scheveningen (The Haque), The Netherlands - The Dutch Light is famous all over the world. The great painters captured the Dutch light in their paintings. Today there is a online shop that will bring the future version of the Dutch Light in the form of Dutch Skies 360 to the customers. The Dutch Skies 360 are affordable - Royalty free - HDRI images that will be available in the sIBL 2.0 format. The images can be used for Visual effects, 3D, architecture, game development etc.

HDRI
In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.

sIBL 2.0
sIBL is a short name for Smart Image Based Lighting. In short its a single click preset ready-made lighting solution to make very easy photorealistic renderings that works with most of the important 3D apps like: Lightwave, 3ds MAX, Maya Modo and XSI. Currently there is a promo action on the HDRLabs website that is a cooperation between HDRLabs and Bob Groothuis: you can visit the promo action in the link below.

What’s in the package? Every sIBL set that is available in the online store contains:
* 8k (8000 x 4000 pixels) spherical JPEG background
* 4k (4000 x 2000 pixels) spherical HDR for reflection
* Lowres lightmap ( 360 x 180 pixels) spherical blurred
* Thumbnail JPG (128 x 128 pixels)
* The sIBL document

All 9 spherical renders (exposures) at JPG at 11K (11.700 X 5850 pixels). These extra renders are all exposures that were made to generate the HDR. So you can make a bigger HDR at 11k by yourself if you need it. Or you even can exposure blend / enfuse the images. This means that you are very flexible in post production.

Previews and The analog Panorama Previewer

All images have big previews in the online shop. (What you see is what you get). Next to the big previews another preview is available. A very special 3D model was created for the online shop: the Analog Panorama viewer. To show the potential of the individual HDR images as a light-source, they are used in a 3D scene, and rendered in Modo. The 3D Testmodel is an Analog Panorama viewer, or what it could look like, if such a device should exist. (The mechanism is used to clean the reflective Sphere.)

Exclusive First Pick

In the store there is a special area called Exclusive First Pick. Customers can buy the exclusive images directly for $413 USD (299 euro) excl. VAT. The big advantage is that the buyer is guaranteed that the images are only sold to the buyer. The images are visible in JPG/PDF. Every two weeks new Exclusive Pick images will appear. The images sold through Exclusive First Pick will not be available in the online shop. After the 10 days the Exclusive First Pick Images will be, if not sold, appear in the online shop.

System Requirements:
* Platform independent - You need one of the following 3D applications: Lightwave, 3ds MAX, Maya Modo and XSI.

Pricing and Availability

$9.99 USD (7,50 euro) excl VAT for each sIBL. After online payment the sIBL images are immediately available for download. The download link will be included in the confirmation e-mail. Now there are about 10 sIBL’s available in the online shop. In July 2009 a DVD will be available with 25 sIBL sets. Its planned that the shop will grow rapidly. By the end of 2009 there will be about 50 or more sIBL sets available. The Licenses are Royalty free.

Los Angeles - The makers of Welcome to Macintosh are happy to announce that the documentary will be available to all US Comcast Cable TV subscribers on Pay Per View beginning July 1st 2009. Comcast Subscribers can find it in the Pay Per View channels as well as the “Movie” section of their On Demand service.

Notable Apple personalities Andy Hertzfeld, co-creator of the original Macintosh, Guy Kawasaki, long time Mac evangelist and Leander Kahney, author of the book “Cult of Mac” offer insight into the company’s past, present and future.

“The goal was to make a film that you can show to anyone, even someone that has never used a computer, and have them understand why so many people love Macintosh,” says Josh Rizzo, Co-Director. “Availability to all US Comcast customers goes a long way toward completing that goal.”

“This is the first of many exciting announcements regarding distribution of the film” adds Baca.

Welcome to Macintosh has been presented in over fifty user groups around the world as well as an official selection in seven international film festivals including the 10th Annual Wisconsin Film Festival, the 4th Globians World and Culture Documentary Film Festival, the 2nd Annual FuzzB Family Film Fest, the 1st Ann.
