Cornerstones of a Mobile Office: MacBooks Surge Ahead on Intel Processors and New 140 Watt-hour Portable Power Station from Battery Geek, Inc.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) September 27, 2006

Mobile computing finally realizes its full potential with the recent marriage between Apple Computer and the Intel Core Duo processor. As industry heavyweights forge a new partnership, the move ultimately positions the MacBook Pro as a cornerstone in todays mobile office. Built-in Bluetooth connectivity plus Apples AirPort Extreme let mobile professionals disconnect from their tethered existence, and external battery technology provides an additional 6+ hours of runtime between charges.

At the helm of this mobile office, Mac OS X effortlessly manages the new Intel Core Duo processor for robust performance that matches desktop power. Intensive tasks like digital media editing are split between two computation cores for maximum efficiency. With the MacBook Pro, mobile professionals can touch up images on the latest version of Aperture or review daily footage in Final Cut Studio on the fly.

Taking cues from the iPod, the MacBooks sleek design and innovative ergonomics make work feel more like play. The built-in iSight camera facilitates quick and easy podcasting and video conferencing. Multimedia presentations flow smoothly with the Apple Remote, while the MagSafe power adapter prevents stumbles in the event a cord gets in the way.

Portable Power Station Cuts Power Cord

Until now, the mobile office has struggled to go completely wireless. The predominance of Wi-Fi networks has severed network cables, however mediocre laptop batteries force mobile users to find an outlet and recharge every couple of hours.

The mobile electronics industry has largely ignored battery capacity in favor of smaller devices packed with more features. In contrast, a high tech start-up company from Oregons Silicon Forest has tackled and successfully developed the worlds first and only external battery for the MacBook family of computers.

The new Portable Power Station by Battery Geek, Inc. supplies an additional 6+ hours of mobile computing time for the MacBook Pro, and incidentally supports most Windows based laptops as well. With a massive 140 watt-hour capacity spawned from premium grade Li-ion cells, the Portable Power Station provides a reliable power source to support a demanding mobile office.

Sean M. Murray, USMC veteran and founder and CEO of Battery Geek, Inc. explains, The Portable Power Station legitimizes the concept of a true mobile office. It powers devices from 3 to 28 volts making it the most versatile external battery on the market today.

As mobile professionals rarely travel without a mobile phone, PDA or iPod, the Portable Power Station doubles as a battery backup for these handheld devices. Connect through the USB charge port, and the Portable Power Station recharges virtually any USB device. Its sophisticated electronic control system regulates output power, and integrated sensors monitor the battery to prevent overheating and failure.

Designed as a MacBook companion, the Portable Power Station is roughly half the size of the 13 MacBook and weighs less than 2 pounds. The shock resistant aluminum shell protects the battery from damage, and its compact profile slides conveniently inside a laptop case.

Melissa A. Bostick, co-founder and CFO adds, International travelers are especially excited by the Portable Power Stations flexibility. They are working through long flights, and watching multiple movies on their portable DVD players and iPods during layovers.

Incenergy Advanced Energy Management System Gives 20 Percent Energy Cost Savings to Dallas Office Tower

Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Incenergy, a Smart Building pioneer that develops an advanced energy management system targeting many of the low-rise buildings in the four million plus light commercial market, successfully scaled its Smart Building EMS solution to a 17-floor office tower in Dallas.

It was critical to show that a feature-rich solution with an intuitive customer interface could scale at an affordable price, said Incenergy CEO Barry McConachie, and in this case is giving a one year payback.

The companys flagship product, Building Portfolio EMS, is an affordable HVAC retrofit solution that upgrades and manages HVAC systems and is particularly suited for low-rise commercial buildings that until now could not afford automated control capabilities.

Incenergys platform architecture brings wireless mesh technology to EMS by leveraging cloud computing with Smart Thermostats to deliver access to over 60 attributes in a clean web interface that also supports mobile devices running iPhone and Android.

Available through subscription services, the Zigbee-based smart building software offers building operators an affordable HVAC retrofit solution with complete command and control.

According to Senior Vice President Bill Moebius of Stream Realty Partners, who manages the Dallas building, Incenergys intuitive and simple scheduling and temperature override functions mean that now our facility managers can log into the portal no matter where they are and have immediate visibility into the entire building, without having to go floor-to-floor to assess and address issues.

During the first four months alone, the 164,000-square-foot building saw its energy usage fall by 262,736 kWh over the previous year, resulting in reduced electricity expense of $ 5,800 per month. These reductions were chiefly attributable to the automation and schedule optimization of temperature set-points, temperature override limits and fault detection alerts.

Along with a 20 percent efficiency gain, Incenergys EMS will enable the building to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1,227,705 lbs CO2 in the first year and each succeeding year during the life of the EMS system. Download the case study at http://www.incenergy.com/content/case-studies for full discussion and data.

Incenergy EMS remote management helps companies shave hours of labor and travel time, increasing operational efficiency above and beyond the savings realized by lowered energy costs. Its fault detection capability can help extend the life of HVAC equipment and lower capital expense.

Ghetta Life: Jamaican Film Vies for Box Office Domination Against Summer Blockbusters

Kingston, Jamaica (PRWEB) June 02, 2011

As the box office begins to heat up with the regular summer fare of blockbusters, the all-Jamaican film Ghetta Life will vie for box office domination against the superheroes and villains from Hollywood. And the film has sufficient clout to make fans sit up and take notice.

Ghetta Life is written, directed and produced by Chris Browne, the director of Jamaicas highest grossing film to date Third World Cop. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Kingstons inner-city, Ghetta Life explores one boys attempt to achieve boxing glory, despite the political divide that threatens to tear his community and country apart. His journey takes him on a path that will force him to defy his family and his community and the result will either destroy him or bring his community together.

Brownes impressive resume includes the award winning short films Entry Denied and Crossfire. The director explains that the idea to create the film was sparked when he visited the Sandy Park area several years ago and saw his first community based boxing match. He was immediately taken in by the gritty, underground nature of the scene and wanted to explore it further. He then set it against the most potent issue in Jamaica, the political tribalism that splashes blood stained green or orange lines of division across many communities.

We dont kill one another about God, like people do in some parts of the world, says Browne. But what we do kill one another over is politics. The potency with which he managed to portray this, earned the film the 2006 Hartley-Merrill International Scriptwriting Prize.

Ghetta Life combines both new and experienced talent among its all Jamaican cast and crew. The film is co-produced, on time and on budget, by Natalie Thompson and its impressive cast includes Carl Davis (Dancehall Queen, Almost Heaven, and Royal Palm Estate), Teddy Price (Small Island, Glory to Gloriana, and Royal Palm Estate), Winston Bello Bell (Third World Cop, Royal Palm Estate), Karen Robinson (Liars and a Real Girl, Soul Food, Bad As I Wanna Be: The Dennis Rodman Story).

Ghetta Life also brings a newcomer to the screen as Kevoy Burton, a student at Ardenne High tackles the lead role of Derek. Explaining that he was honoured to work with the experience cast and crew, Burton reveals that he was able to tap into his own experiences in playing this role. I realized that the character was somebody I could relate to because I grew up in a politically divided community, he said. So though his own family was not as intense on the issue, he understood the issues Derek has to face.

Actor Boy Awardee Christopher McFarlane turns his years of experience on the stage to portraying the gruesome Don Sin. This is an opportunity for people to take me a lot more seriously when it comes on to character building, he says. McFarlane notes that he hopes people will be able to see that his is not another gun movie but will instead be able to focus on its story of triumph and achievement.

I think the movie is opportune for the time, comments Davis. Its perfect for the time were in when many people considering politicians and how they contribute to the destruction of values and attitudes in the country.

So, despite the familiarity of a film set in Jamaicas ghettoes, Ghetta Life easily separates itself from previous films by its inclusion of sports but more importantly by its focus on triumph showing the ways in which Jamaicans overcome great odds and get a life.
