A new concept - Advertisment within iPhone game to fight against piracy

iTankster Game Developer Inserts Advertisement into Paid Version of iPhone Game Due to Rampant Piracy

iPhone Game Developer Combats Piracy by Inserting Advertisement in Paid Version of Game.
(1888PressRelease) Within just hours of being available on Apple’s App Store the new iTankster game for the iPhone and iPod touch had been released on websites by pirates for free download and installation on Jailbroken devices. In order to combat this rampant piracy the developer decided to release the game with a single static advertisement from a sponsor which is displayed in the menu screen.

The developers of the game originally planned on releasing iTankster at an introductory price of just $0.99 ad-free and believed that since it was priced so low users would purchase it without resorting to piracy. However, they discovered during the development of the game, that other applications were pirated regardless of how low they were priced. Upon further research, it showed that in some instances the number of people installing an application or game illegally far outnumbered the legally purchased version of the same.

Piracy of the game would have impacted the revenue projection and recovery of development costs for the developer drastically; as a result they were compelled to tie up with a sponsor to recover some of the expenses. This decision was taken by the developers as they felt it would be better than increasing the price of the game and risk deterring users from making legal purchases.

Best RPG Games - Article of the day

What are RPG Games? Role Playing Games, or 'RPG Games' as they are commonly referred to in the gaming world, are a category of games in which a player can assume any character he or she chooses to be. These games open up a whole new world of possibilities wherein one could take on a role either strikingly similar to their very own personality or the exact opposite of it. Today, some of the best PC games are of the RPG genre.

These games have the tendency and capability of engrossing you for hours into a virtual world bound only by your imagination. Players can assume the persona of a prom queen or a football star; a hero who saves the world or a blood sucking vampire. Playing RPG games definitely needs a good system configuration. A good graphics card, a decent size display and speakers would add to the joy of playing.

Before beginning any RPG, you must understand that you are merely role-playing, and that nothing that happens in your fantasy world is real. If there is any chance at all of you mixing up the two, then steer clear of role-playing. Although many people will take things too far, some people become so immersed in the role that they will cease to function as themselves any longer. Do not let that happen to you.

One of the best but darkest games available is Vampire Clans that war amongst each other while seeking out new skills, new capabilities and new weapons. You also must collect minions to do your bidding, while taking part in battles to kill off your enemies. The entire game is set in darkness, and is appropriately creepy with ominous music and shadows. There is an ever increasing number of RPG games being released these days - there is one for everyone out there!

Below is a list of the best RPG PC Games of 2009:

Borderlands

Diablo 3

Batman: Arkham Asylum

Dawn of War 2

Happy Gaming!

Top 10 Tips to Getting the Best Bargains on Black Friday

Black Friday - The Biggest Shopping Day of the Year:

Black Friday falls on the day after Thanksgiving and has earned the reputation of being the busiest shopping day of the year. The name was adopted from an accounting term - red ink denotes a negative profit margin, where as "in the black" denotes a positive profit margin. Many retailers make or break their sales goals between Thanksgiving and Christmas, with the season kicking off on the Friday after Thanksgiving, hence the name "Black Friday."

1. Check Out the Ads:

Your local Thanksgiving Day newspaper will be stuffed like your Thanksgiving turkey with ads, coupons, and circulars. This will be your number one source to local Black Friday savings. It will also help you organize your day to maximize savings, since many stores offer special discounts that are time specific. Example: Receive an extra 10 percent off if you shop before 11 a.m.

2. Do Your Research Before Friday:

If you are hoping to scoop up a deal on Friday on a big-ticket item, go ahead and get your research out of the way as soon as possible. A bad product is a bad deal no matter how cheap it costs. Being knowledgeable about the products you want to buy will help you avoid being sucker-punched with loud advertising for poor products. About.com is chocked full of buying advice on a wide variety of products from professionals who have the knowledge to help you make good decisions

F.A.A. Computer Problem Snarls Flights

WASHINGTON — Flights over much of the eastern United States were delayed Thursday by a pre-dawn failure in a fairly new communications system, which led to the shutdown of a computer that accepts flight plans from the airlines and feeds them to air traffic controllers.

It was the fourth major systemwide disruption attributed to the communications system, which the Federal Aviation Administration began putting into service earlier in this decade as a way to cut costs and assure reliability.

But when it failed, at about 5 a.m. Eastern time on Thursday, the airlines had to send flight plans by fax, and the controllers typed them into their computers, sort of a hunt-and-peck exercise that was so cumbersome that many planes were delayed more than an hour. But there was no risk to planes in flight, according to the F.A.A.

By mid-morning the system was working again, but the backlog caused widespread airport delays.

News - The Title and Real Estate Industries Demand - It's Time for a New Direction

It is time for Change. The Title Insurance and Real Estate Industries are now Adopting New Standards that embrace a “High Performance Model” that Achieves Breakthrough Competitive Advantages, such as with CentRealTech's One Click Automated Title System.

(1888PressRelease) - EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. - CentRealTech Inc. announced today that they have released an Industry White Paper that presents a compelling perspective for the adoption of a High Performance Model for the Title and Real Estate industries. This White Paper sounds the alert for these industries to prepare themselves to successfully address the full economic recovery by adopting a High Performance Model, whereby they assess the competitive landscape, enter new markets, and begin to look for new ways to deliver products and services more efficiently and effectively while reducing cost.

Although, the Title and Real Estate industries have experienced a rapidly changing economic environment, they have not aggressively implement new processes that drive significant levels of improved performance over those of the past. The commitment to legacy technology and/or systems that were developed internally or obtained from affiliated entities has impacted this lack of movement towards more effective and efficient operations. And perhaps the most telling aversion to change has been the slowness of the industries to reduce manual intervention and replace it with technological process integration.

“Title and Real Estate companies today are under tremendous pressure to reduce cost while they increase productivity and efficiency,” said Robert Matanane, President and CEO of CentRealTech. “The impact of embracing a High Performance Model, as we have done in our own company, will generate immediate results and align performance across the entire organization. In fact, making future business decisions and justifying investments become quite clear as the business case for a High Performance Model has been proven time and again. We believe that as companies navigate through the economic, legal and competitive pressures of the market; their success generating growth and profitability will be dependent upon them embracing the High Performance Model.”

To learn more about how to align your organization to the High Performance Model, please download the White Paper, “The Title and Real Estate Industries Demands…It’s Time for a New Direction” from the CentRealTech website at http://www.centrealtech.com.

The Miracle Utopia Www.miracleutopia.com

Powerful Voodoo and Hoodoo Products from MiracleUtopia.com Help Users Gain their Desires and Solve Major Life Issues


Next, we spoke with Jim Vaughn of Indainapolis, IN who was so pleased with the products that placed an order every two weeks so he could keep his candles burning and his luck going. Jim claims that he is a gambler and that the Miracle Utopia candles and oils are what keep him with his lucky streak. We were amazed to find out that Jim actually does live off his gambling winnings. We asked him if he thought the products were really responsible for his gambling successes and he said, "All I know is that when I use them I win more, so why mess with a perfect system."

The last person we spoke with was Patricia Santos of Ft. Lauderdale, FL who says her sister in law introduced her to Miracle Utopia magical products. "I never beleived in such products. Yes, I would burn a candle for prayer from time to time, but I never beleived in buying all the oils and other items. My sister in law, Tricia, told me to try you oils when I was going through a love problem. That oil seemed to help out so much that I decided to order the full ritual!" Patricia says she seemed to instantly be able to see results and that her love matter improved and she can only attribute it to the products.

After speaking to the customers, I decided it was time to actually speak to the proprietors of MiracleUtopia.com. From visiting with them I found out that all of the products are made in the traditional southern way with great attention to detail and with what they call "powerful juju. The products are beleived to be authentic and gain results because they are created upon order by two Mississippi Root Workers and Voodoo Doctors. One of the owners is the well known, Sister Angel Rose who is celebrated as one of the premier spiritual practitioners available today.

MiracleUtopia.com has a complete product line that includes: 7 day jar candles, voodoo and hoodoo root and herb oils, spiritual baths and shower washes, spiritual colognes and magical powders. All the items include herbs, roots, minerals and some have their very own empowered crystal within the bottle.
