Denver, CO (PRWEB) May 08, 2012
Plummeting data storage costs and the increasing use of video in the workplace have made easy-to-use video capture and management tools an essential capability at leading companies around the world. To meet this growing demand, Pearson and Panopto today announced plans to integrate Panopto’s video capture and management software platform into Pearson’s custom learning solutions for the professional market. The announcement was made at the American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) annual conference in Denver.
Pearson’s professional training business offers technology, content and services in the areas of digital content management, knowledge capture, customizable online training materials and online tutoring to improve writing and IT skills.

The platform can be used to create formal training courses; webcast live events; capture training workshops; record and share knowledge among teams; and manage an online library of training and development videos.
“Video is now as easy to search and navigate as text is to read. In some ways, it’s even easier,” said Eric Burns, Chief Product Officer of Panopto. “We see searchable video changing the way our customers train, share and manage knowledge every day. And now, thanks to our partnership with Pearson, video capture and management technology is part of a comprehensive approach to professional learning.”

Given the turbulent economy over the past decade, many baby boomers and soon to be retirees have not fully recovered from losses in their retirement plans and have anxiety about outliving their savings and income. Unfortunately, many of these soon to be retirees have not been able to achieve their desired savings target and do not have sound plan to comfortably retire at their desired time.
By first educating consumers, and then matching them up with experts in their area for customized advice, Annuity123 hopes to make a positive impact within the retirement field. The Annuity123 designers were driven to make sure that all individuals, regardless of their amount of personal assets, were able to be fully informed about how annuities can help address their retirement needs. Given the detailed educational material and the efficient specialist locator, this platform can play an integral part in ensuring that individuals and families throughout Colorado have an anxiety-free retirement.

Leapin? Leprechaun iTunes Game Leaps to the iPhone
Leapin’ Leprechaun iTunes Game Leaps to the iPhone
Duluth, GA (PRWEB) May 04, 2012
Mobile Magnus, the maker of the highly addictive Leapin’ Leprechaun app, has just received word that iTunes has approved the iPhone version of the game for sale in its App Store. This latest offering features the same smart-talking Paddy the Leprechaun fans have grown to love and the scenic Ireland game play that has made the Lite HD version such a hit. The only difference is this newest version is a full edition that is universally compatible with not only the iPhone but also the iPad.
Apple gamers are a discerning bunch, willing to drop down their hard-earned cash for only those games that truly wow them. Indeed, according to the Gamasutra website, which specializes in the art and business of making games, only two of the top 10 game titles in the Apple App Store for the week of May 2, 2012 were paid versions, those being longstanding favorites Angry Birds Space and Draw Something. Gamers are even more wary about shelling out money for the newer, unestablished apps.
Yet for all their stinginess and hesitancy, these same game players have been so delighted with their experience with the free Leapin’ Leprechaun Lite HD that they quickly began clamoring for a full paid version. The game’s developer was happy to oblige them and Leapin’ Leprechaun v. 1.0 for the iPad was born. But despite that rush to meet demand, iPhone gamers were still left with the free Lite and Pro versions as their only options.
All of that changed earlier this week when iTunes gave its stamp of approval to the Apple smartphone version of Leapin’ Leprechaun 1.0, which is universally compatible with the iPhone as well as the iPad. Just one day into its May 3, 2012 App Store launch, the full variation of the game had already garnered five reviews, earning a perfect overall score of five stars. One customer described it as “very simple but addictive” and recommended, “If you’re bored of playing Angry Birds, but loved [that game], go for this game. It’s totally worth a try. Am I saying this is the next BIG game… maybe, very possibly!
Expert opinion is also feeding the Leapin’ Leprechaun frenzy. The @AppzThatRock Twitter review team recently named the full iPhone/iPad version of the game an App That Rocks.
To learn more about the full iPhone version of Leapin’ Leprechaun, visit the iTunes App Store at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/leapin-leprechaun/id521644028?mt=8.
