Reinventing Storytelling for the Digital Age

San Francisco, California - Cognito Comics didn't want to simply make another graphic novel. They wanted to completely change the way people looked at digital publishing, storytelling and the iPad.

"After working in the video game industry for years, I wanted to bridge my love of technology and art to tell meaningful stories," said Daniel Burwen, Creative Director and Founder of Cognito Comics. "The story of CIA: Operation Ajax is very relevant to our current political landscape and the power of the iPad allows us to weave actual history throughout the medium of the graphic novel."

The story of CIA: Operation Ajax is based on the 1953 Iranian coup d'etat, during which the CIA and British government overthrew democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammed Mossadegh and reinstalled the Shah to power. Scripted by Emmy-nominated writer/director Mike de Seve and edited by renowned author and journalist Stephen Kinzer (All The Shah's Men), CIA: Operation Ajax is a Cold War-era spy thriller powered by The Active Reader platform from Tall Chair, Inc.

Most digital graphic novels are static images like their print counterparts; CIA: Operation Ajax harnesses the power of the iPad to produce a truly dynamic experience. Built-in newsreels from the time period are scattered throughout the story, as are historical vignettes, character rosters and declassified CIA documents, all presented through an elegant interface.

If the player shot straight and with enough speed to hit the duck, a funny dog would pop out of the bushes holding a sign saying something nice. However, if it was a bad shot and the duck got away, that canine would laugh at the player's misfortune.

Noctua Introduces NF-F12 Focused Flow™ Fan

Vienna, November 9th 2011 - Noctua today introduced the new NF-F12 120mm Focused Flow  fan. Teaming up eleven stator guide vanes with a specially conceived seven blade impeller, the NF-F12 s Focused Flow  system creates outstanding static pressure and focuses the airflow for superior performance on heatsinks and radiators. At the same time, a wide range of advanced aerodynamic design measures, second generation SSO-Bearings and Noctua s new, custom designed PWM IC for fully automatic control guarantee astounding quietness of operation.

"Our award-winning NF-P12 has become a standard choice for pressure demanding applications such as CPU coolers and radiators, but we ve been striving to achieve even better performance in this domain, and this is how the NF-F12 was born", explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. "Due to the stator guide vanes focussing the airflow, it can push the air through dense fin stacks more effectively. This type of design has mostly been used for noisy high speed fans so far, so our engineers have put a lot of thought into keeping the noise in check."

The NF-F12 uses a wide range of aerodynamic optimisations in order to refine the fan s acoustic qualities. For example, the NF-F12 s stator guide vanes are set out in Varying Angular Distance and feature Vortex-Control Notches. Both measures help to spread the noise emission over a broader frequency spectrum and thus make the fan s sound pattern more agreeable to the human ear. Another novel measure introduced with the NF-F12 is the Stepped Inlet Design, which adds turbulence to the influx in order to facilitate the transition from laminar flow to turbulent flow. This measure reduces tonal intake noise, improves flow attachment and increases suction capacity, especially in space restricted environments.

The New iPhone 4S Camera - So Lightning Fast, You Can Capture Lightning

Vienna, Austria - Apple(R) claims that the recently announced iPhone(R) 4S features an new camera with zero shutter lag and  blazing fast processor performance. A medical student from Vienna, Austria, proves these features to be literally true. Florian Stiassny is pleased to announce 'LightningCam', the small photo app that allows capturing a lightning strike in real time with full resolution of 8 Megapixel.

In life before the new iPhone, lightings were hard to capture with professional equipment and almost impossible with a mobile cell phone camera. This app now enables everyone to take free hand breathtaking shots of lightning strikes using a new iPhone; no additional equipment like tripods or sensors are needed. LightningCam 1.1 features:

* HD Video Mode

LightningCam analyzes the HD video output (Resolution 720P) for the event of a lightning strike and captures the frame, in which the lightning occurs as well as the following frame. Both frames are saved with a resolution of 1280720 pixels using JPEG compression.

* Camera Mode

LightningCam captures the lightning strike with the main camera with full photo resolution (5MP for iPhone 4, 8MP for iPhone 4S). Due to hardware limitations, fast lightning strikes might be missed in this mode with the iPhone 4, whereas the iPhone 4s should capture almost all lightning strikes within range.
