LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2013 /CNW/ - As more and more Americans, especially those who travel extensively around the world, are concerned about their cell phone conversations being listened to, personal computers being hacked, and other intrusions on their privacy rights, a new smartphone application is now available which can put many minds at rest. At a cost of $3.00 per month, the new Seecrypt Mobile app can be installed onto smartphones, creating a 100% protected network through encryption between two callers anywhere in the world.

TORONTO, May 24, 2013 /CNW/ - A Toronto company with an innovative electric bicycle will unveil its production prototype and crowdfunding campaign on Bike to Work Day - Monday, May 27, 2013, at MaRS Discovery District.

Media are invited to attend a press conference and test drive Revelo Bikes Inc.'s LIFEbike, a lightweight, compact, chainless electric bike that allows commuters to combine the environmental benefits of cycling with the convenience and comfort of a scooter. The company will use the crowdfunding site, Indiegogo, to raise funds for its first production run.

"In Toronto, 82 per cent of downtown dwellers commute less than 10 kilometres and only six per cent travel by bike. To encourage people to bike, we need a simple solution that offers the option to travel without breaking a sweat, and not worry about showering, changing, and parking - that's where the LIFEbike comes in," says founder and CEO Henry Chong.

The LIFEbike has an ultra-light production weight - approximately 33lbs including battery - and can reach speeds of up to 25 km/h. The bike's compact design allows for seamless travel from a small condo, into an elevator and directly into the office.

"For less than five cents a day of electricity to operate, the LIFEbike presents an affordable form of transportation. The freedom from congestion and costly transportation options can be extremely empowering," Chong says.

Chong, a graduate of OCAD University's industrial design program, developed the LIFEbike as his thesis project. He sought the assistance of MaRS Discovery District, first through its Entrepreneurship 101 program, and later as a client in its Cleantech practice, to help turn his idea into reality. Chong became a client of MaRS after winning its 2012 Up-Start! Competition, a business pitch contest with a $10,000 prize for the top business plan.

"I had this vision, but I had no idea how start or run a business. MaRS provided an incredible wealth of expertise and support that was needed to develop our business plan and to execute on key milestones," he says.

"Forget thinking outside the box," says LIFEbike's MaRS cleantech advisor Lisa Harun. "Henry has drawn a new box, igniting a new paradigm; he's created a new category within the Personal Electric Vehicles market that has international appeal. This is only the beginning for LIFEbike."

Chong rides the LIFEbike regularly in downtown Toronto and will use it to travel to the press conference.

"The LIFEbike draws a lot of interest. People ask me where they can buy one. I didn't have an answer for them - until today. We're excited to bring this revolutionary Canadian product to the world market," Chong says.

The Indiegogo campaign aims to fund an initial run of 20 bikes, with a price point of approximately $1800 for the first, limited edition run.

• "Buy Once, Read Everywhere" with the free Kindle app available on a large number of platforms so customers can read their Kindle books on any of their devices.
• Amazon's top-rated, world-class customer service.

"Kindle Fire HD is the #1 best-selling item in the world for Amazon since its launch, and we're thrilled to make it available to Canadian customers," said Dave Limp, Vice President, Amazon Kindle. "Not only does Kindle Fire feature advanced hardware, it's also a service. When combined with our content ecosystem, great email and browsing and top rated customer service, we hope people around the world will agree that Kindle Fire HD is the best tablet for an incredible price."

Kindle Fire is a Service
Kindle Fire is more than just great hardware—it's a service. When a customer orders a Kindle Fire, it arrives pre-registered to their Amazon account and greets them by name. All of the customer's Kindle content is there waiting for them to download and start enjoying—no long set-up process, and no syncing with a cable. Kindle Fire also comes with instant access to Amazon's digital content right from the device, including all of the features customers love about shopping on Amazon—customer reviews, one-click purchasing and more. Whenever customers shop on Amazon, or buy a Kindle they know that they are also getting Amazon's world-class customer service. Customers have been shopping on Amazon for over 15 years, and they continue to do so because of the unparalleled, end-to-end customer experience.

Arrives Pre-Registered
Kindle Fire HD comes automatically pre-registered so customers can immediately start enjoying their digital content purchased from Amazon or shop for new content.

Connect with Bluetooth and HDMI
Kindle Fire HD supports Bluetooth, enabling customers to connect their wireless Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers to listen to songs. With Bluetooth connectivity, customers can also easily connect to a wide range of Bluetooth-enabled keyboards. HDMI out makes it easy for customers to connect Kindle Fire HD to their big-screen TV to enjoy their favourite videos and photos.

Stunning Custom HD Display
The 8.9" display on Kindle Fire HD features an incredible 254 pixels per inch with a resolution of 1920x1200, meaning that pixels are indistinguishable to the human eye. The 7" Kindle Fire HD features a stunning HD display with 1280x800 resolution that delivers deep, detailed contrast and rich, natural colour. Kindle Fire HD uses a laminated touch sensor to reduce glare and make the display easy to view even in overhead light, and an Advanced True Wide polarizing filter that results in a display that shows the same deep contrast and rich, detailed colour from any angle.

High-End Laptop-Quality Wi-Fi—Faster Downloads and High-Speed Streaming
Kindle Fire HD comes with dual-band Wi-Fi and can automatically switch between the 2.4 GHz network and the less crowded 5 GHz network, resulting in better range and less interference. In addition, dual antennas and Multiple In/Multiple Out (MIMO) allow for higher bandwidth and longer range.

Stay in Touch with Front-Facing HD Camera
Kindle Fire HD features a front-facing HD camera. Skype created a customized app tailored for Kindle Fire HD that is ready to use out of the box for free HD video calls at home and abroad. Kindle Fire HD makes it easy for the over 250 million customers already using Skype to get in touch with friends and family.

Email and Calendar
The Kindle Fire family features world-class Microsoft Exchange integration, with fine-tuned performance on many of the most critical email functions. For example, typical Exchange accounts sync with the oldest emails first, ending with the most recent emails—Kindle Fire instead syncs with newer emails first, then with older emails, getting customers faster access to the most recent emails they are looking for. Kindle Fire also features calendar app, making it easy for customers to stay connected and keep track of their schedules. The email client offers support for the world's most popular email providers—including Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Hotmail and more.

Photos Brought to Life
Photos come alive in stunning high-resolution on Kindle Fire HD. Fire's mosaic view arranges personal photos beautifully, and customers will be delighted to see their best shots on their TV with HDMI out. Kindle Fire lets customers easily import their photos from Facebook and because their photos are securely stored in the Amazon cloud, they never have to worry about losing their favourite pictures.

Millions of Apps, Games and Books
Kindle Fire HD provide customers over 1 million of digital content, including thousands of exclusives:

• Instant access to the most popular apps and games, including Angry Birds Space HD, Pinterest, Temple Run 2 and Asphalt 7—each one optimized for Kindle Fire HD.
• Millions of books, including over 300,000 titles that are exclusive to the Kindle Store. Over 700,000 books are priced at $3.99 or less; over a million are $9.99 or less.

16 or 32 GB of On-Device Storage, Plus Free Cloud Storage for Amazon Content
Kindle Fire HD is available with 16 GB or 32 GB of on-device storage. This large on-device storage capacity is in addition to the free storage Amazon provides for Amazon digital content in the Amazon Cloud. Amazon digital content is automatically backed up for free in the Amazon Cloud's Worry-Free Archive where it's available anytime.

Powerful World-Class Processor—Snappy and Smooth
An HD display and HD content must be driven by a powerful processor and optimized software. The Kindle Fire HD family features world-class processors and an Imagination Technologies graphics engine for lightning-fast HD graphics and excellent fluidity. The 8.9" Kindle Fire HD is powered by the latest generation OMAP4 4470 processor and Imagination SGX544 graphics engine capable of over 12 billion floating point operations per second, and both Kindle Fire HD 7" and 8.9" come with higher memory bandwidth than Tegra 3. Combining the latest generation processors with significant customization of the Kindle Fire software by Amazon engineers results in a snappy and smooth experience for the user.

Dual Stereo Speakers and Exclusive Dolby Audio
Kindle Fire HD combines dual stereo speakers with the Dolby Digital Plus audio platform—the standard in high performance audio—to offer a world-class audio experience. Dolby's audio suite for Kindle Fire HD includes technology used to adjust volume and deliver easy-to-understand dialogue, and also optimizes for headphones versus speakers. All of these pieces combine to create an exceptional audio experience that results in clearer, crisper and balanced sound quality.

10 Hours of Battery Life
Kindle Fire HD is optimized to deliver high performance without sacrificing battery life, delivering over 10 hours of battery life.

Thin and Light
Even with a custom display, a powerful processor, extra speakers and dual-band/dual-antenna Wi-Fi, Kindle Fire HD 8.9" weighs only 20 ounces and is just 8.8 mm thin.

Beautiful Leather Covers
Covers for Kindle Fire HD feature a premium textured leather exterior in a variety of colours and a subtle woven nylon interior to provide the lightest and thinnest form of protection. The integrated magnetic clasp ensures the cover remains securely closed while in a backpack, purse, or briefcase. The cover automatically wakes Kindle Fire HD upon opening and puts it to sleep when closed, making it easy to dive right back into whatever content a customer is enjoying.

TORONTO, May 21, 2013 /CNW/ - A new study from BSA | The Software Alliance and INSEAD, one of the world's leading business schools, finds that increasing the use of properly licensed software would have a greater impact on the economy in Canada than allowing similar growth in the use of pirated software.

A one per cent increase in use of licensed software would generate an estimated $2.25 billion, in national production, compared to $521 million from a similar increase in pirated software — meaning properly licensed software would deliver $1.73 billion in additional economic value.

Competitive Advantage: The Economic Impact of Properly Licensed Software is a groundbreaking analysis that draws on data from 95 countries to demonstrate the benefits to national economies of using fully licensed software. The study confirms that increasing use of licensed software corresponds to substantial positive gains in gross domestic product (GDP), and that the economic stimulus effect of properly licensed software is significantly greater than that of pirated software.

"Using properly licensed software reduces risk and creates operating efficiencies that go directly to the bottom line for enterprises," said Jodie Kelley, Vice-President of Anti-Piracy & General Counsel. "This study confirms that licensed software is not just good for firms — it is an important driver of national economic growth. Government, law enforcement, and industry in Canada should take every opportunity to reap these potential gains by reducing piracy and promoting use of properly licensed software."

The study also finds that each additional dollar invested in properly licensed software has an estimated return on investment (ROI) of $73. This compares to a $46 return from each additional dollar worth of pirated software put into use.

Among the study's other findings:

• Increasing licensed software use globally by one per cent would inject an estimated $73 billion into the world economy, compared to $20 billion from pirated software — a difference of $53 billion.
• Every country included in the study saw greater economic returns from properly licensed software than from pirated software.
• On a dollar-for-dollar basis, the return on investment from using properly licensed software is greatest in developing countries — $437 in extra GDP, on average. Still, countries across all income levels benefit: each additional dollar invested in licensed software has an average ROI of $117 in high-income countries and $140 in middle-income countries.

"Previous studies have shown that value-added services delivered with properly licensed software help firms to reduce costs and increase their productivity. This report goes one step further to ascertain the impact of software use on national production," said Eduardo Rodriguez-Montemayor, senior research fellow at INSEAD eLab. "The results make it clear that licensed software is beneficial for business and national economies — and that licensed software has a greater economic impact than pirated software across all countries included in the study."

Governments and enterprises wanting to embrace the economic opportunity presented by licensed software use should take action in the following areas:

• Establish strong and modern intellectual property laws that protect software and other copyrighted materials on PCs, mobile devices, and in the cloud.
• Step up enforcement of intellectual property rights with dedicated resources.
• Raise public awareness about the risks of software piracy.
• Lead by example by using only fully licensed software and implementing software asset management programs.
