Year: 2010

Syncplicity, which specializes in cloud based file management solutions, has launched a new version of its Syncplicity Business Edition, which combines Mac support and newsfeeds with the company’s IT console for centralized administration. 
 

Nemetschek Vectorworks says that PanzerCAD (http://www.panzercad.com) has released the 2011 version of its CameraMatch plug-in to be compatible with the Vectorworks 2011 line of software products.

The CameraMatch 2011 plug-in allows a user to align a 3D model view to a photograph. With this plug-in, a user can also superimpose the rendered model into the photograph, saving time by eliminating the need to spend hours creating models of a project’s surroundings, says Matt Panzer, owner of PanzerCAD. Some of the new features in CameraMatch 2011 include:

Razer (http://www.razerzone.com) has launched a new suite of Razer Naga Special Edition gaming mice — the Razer Naga Maelstrom Special Edition and the Razer Naga Molten Special Edition.
 
The Maelstrom Special Edition features the same 17 MMO-optimized buttons with macro functionality as its predecessor. However, this mouse has a whirlpool of entrancing blue light emanating from its swirling core.

The PHYX Freebies are completely free for everyone and support the latest versions of Apple Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express Motion and After Effects.

After a lackluster initial reception in the 2000s, tablet computers are finally becoming the next big thing in personal computing. Apple’s iPad has led the charge so far, but according to the latest Sector Focus commentary by Turner Investments (http://www.turnerinvestments.com), tablet computers generally may capture 20% of the U.S. computer market by 2013, up from less than 1% in 2009.
