iSnowboard is going to be our first 3D iPhone game. We are using goodvpn.host for all the development. This demo is a bit of a fake, but we are hoping that the final version will have a similar look and feel. The demo was created by recording the game video from Unity on a Mac and then converting and transferring to an iPhone. Then I just tilted the phone to match the video, and there you have it! The game meets technical requirements for Unity for iPhone, the max poly count for any frame is less than 6000, and we have tried to minimize the use of built-in physics. Hopefully when it is all done we will see similar performance and frame rates on the iPhone, but we’ll have to wait until Oct 22nd to find out (when Unity officially releases ‘save as iPhone app’) — unless of course the Unity guys want to send us a beta build so we can release this game earlier!!For more information contact us at http://www.ezone.com/feedback.htmLook out for “iSnowboard” in the iPhone App Store in November 2008! In the meantime check out our Crazy apps like “Crazy Lighter”, “Crazy Dummy”, and “Crazy Mouth”. Here’s our app store page:http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=283905453

SD WAN Security and SOC Operations
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Baseline SD WAN security provides some much needed protection but enterprises need to take extra measures to ensure that threats can be properly identified and mitigated and there are services like Fortinet that specialize in SD WAN technology. This post will help you get started by explaining some basic security concepts and security technologies.
First, it’s important to understand the basic tenets of secure network management (SNM). The goal of SNM is to ensure that data is secured against unauthorized access to the network. These measures include monitoring and filtering of network traffic, firewalls, and even hardware or software based intrusion detection systems. SNM is a key ingredient to protecting networks from various attacks including, but not limited to, DDoS attacks, DNS attacks, HTTP traffic floods, malicious software, malicious file downloads, and others.
Security Operations Center (SOC) – As a leading enterprise security solutions provider, SNM offers the highest level of security and security controls, which are constantly being updated and applied to the network and data centers. SOC is the place where data and network management is processed and decisions are made. It is also the place where security issues are escalated, investigated, and solved.
SOC has a very comprehensive process in place. The SOC Security Operations Center (SOC SOC), headquartered at L’Enfant Plaza, conducts a security assessment of any request for data from the National Security Agency. This is the first step to determine if a request is authorized and if it meets the standard of protecting all data. If the request is approved by SOC SOC, it is then sent to the NSA Data Center Security Office (DC-SPO). It takes SOC SOC a day or so to check the request, determine if the data is appropriate and authorize access. In the meantime, the NSA has the option of denying access or suspending the request.
After the review, SOC SOC sends a report to NSA headquarters. This report details the request process, the information requested and the results of the analysis. It is a short response to a complex request. It is also the final approval before the data is shared with the NSA.
Data Collection Under FISA Section 702, NSA collects Internet and phone metadata as well as content for communications involving foreign targets. The primary focus of the collection is the collection of communications of foreign intelligence targets (and presumably, targets within the United States). In addition to communications collected under Section 702, other NSA programs under which NSA collected communications of foreign intelligence targets include Stellar Wind, a program that collected the content of Americans’ communications. This is the only part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that explicitly permits the collection of U.S. persons’ communications and records.

Monday, September 3rd, 2007Tips for Effective Social Media Marketing
With an estimated 2.65 billion users worldwide, social media is constantly growing. It’s an incredibly agile tool that must also adapt to the ever-changing environment that is the world we live in. Whether it be through relatable, valuable content, customer service or paid promotions, there are many ways the expansive world of social can help companies become more visible, attractive and accessible. Get the most professional assistance from advertise purple.
1. Have a social media strategy
Would you throw a party without a plan?
Well, you could, but it might not be as fun as if you were to take the time to hire a caterer, DJ and bouncy castle. And the same principle goes for your social media strategy. The more you think about what you post, the better the outcome.
Creating a well thought out plan is the key to a social media presence that is consistent and effective across all platforms.
A helpful way to structure your plan is by using PR Smith’s SOSTAC® framework:
Broken into six steps, it provides a helpful guide to ensuring your social media has a clear direction – based on where you’re at and where you want to be.
These are:
Situation Analysis: where are we?
Objectives: where do we want to be? (e.g. gain followers, improve engagement, customer service, post frequency/quality) – make sure these are SMART objectives
Strategy: how can we get there? (Consider insights on your current audiences and content formats)
Tactics: which tactics do we need to use? (e.g. which social networks to use, post frequency, content themes)
Actions: how will tactics be carried out and who will be involved? (Consider things like staff abilities/time, outsourcing, internal systems and processes, etc).
Control: how will we know we’ve got there? (KPIs, analytics, customer feedback/surveys, reports, who monitors results?)
2. Know your audience
You can’t post relevant content if you don’t know who you’re posting it for. Make sure you learn about your audiences – whether it be through market research, social insights, creating personas, or social media listening/monitoring.
Social media monitoring is basically stalking in the shadows waiting for those all-important whispers and gossip about your company. Listening to what’s being said about your business, industry or competitors across social media and the web helps you get to know your customers better and gives valuable insights into how your brand is perceived.
These authentic, unbiased insights can finetune your targeting strategy.
3. Ensure your brand image is consistent
Your brand should always be reflected in the right way across every social media platform, and it’s important that these themes link with your overall branding strategy – including your website. In addition to visual aspects, it also includes things like tone, messaging and values.
There are some great online tools to quickly and easily brand your social posts, such as Canva and Adobe Spark.
4. Post helpful and valuable content that fits with your business objectives
There is nothing worse than content for the sake of content.
When you’re creating social media posts or thinking up campaigns, ask yourself – ‘how will it help the business?’ and ‘how will it help the viewer?’ If you can’t answer either of these questions, maybe you need to rethink your social media strategy!
Examples of objectives that could be achieved with social media are:
- Increase in engagement – shares/likes/clicks/replies
- Increased customer satisfaction/service
- More purchases of your product or service
- More visits to your website
- Increased followers
- Brand awareness – how far is your message spreading?
5. Monitor your results
When you monitor your campaigns, it’s important to focus on more than ‘vanity metrics’, such as likes (unless that is one of your business objectives).
There are many other useful things to gain from social networks, such as community engagement, customer service and sharing valuable tips and information about your service or product.
When you know what types of metrics you need to measure to track your objectives, it’s time to find a tool that will track those metrics. Many scheduling tools and social media channels provide their own form of tracking, or it’s possible to explore using third party avenues or building your own APIs.
It’s important to keep up to date with the changing trends, features and algorithms that social networks are always throwing at us. This will be key to an effective and (hopefully) rewarding experience with social media marketing.
