Sydney, Australia – June 01 2009 – NComputing, the leading provider of ultra low-cost computing solutions, today announced that it will partner with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) to bring computer access to primary and secondary schools in developing countries around the world. The initiative has strong support from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and aims to provide 500,000 workstations to schools in developing nations by 2012. The program is being developed by the UNDESA Global Alliance for ICT Development (GAID).

“Access to computing technology is a cornerstone for education, social, and economic development in the 21st century,” said Sarbuland Khan, Executive Coordinator of UNDESA-GAID. “This initiative will play an important role in closing the digital literacy gap that exists in the world’s developing nations.”

The first pilot project was completed in Burkina Faso, with additional projects spanning Rwanda, Senegal, and Tanzania scheduled for 2009. These projects will utilize 1,000 NComputing Linux-based virtual desktops. NComputing virtual desktops are ideal for the project because they provide very low-cost computing, are simple to ship and install, require almost no maintenance, and use only 1 watt of electricity. In addition to the product donations, NComputing will also provide its logistical and operational expertise with large-scale rollouts.

The NComputing solution is based on a simple fact: today’s PCs are so powerful that the vast majority of applications use only a small fraction of the computer’s capacity. NComputing taps the unused capacity in a PC and shares it among multiple users as if each person had their own computer. Each person enjoys a full PC experience by connecting their own monitor, keyboard, and mouse to an NComputing access device, which is then connected to the shared PC. The access devices snap into place in seconds, are almost impossible to break, and save on maintenance costs because only the shared PC requires ongoing service or upgrading. The NComputing solution supports both Linux and Windows platforms.

Dr. Paul Jhin, who is leading the initiative, will present the details of the program to education ministers and other attendees at the eLearning Africa conference in Dakar, Senegal on May 29. Planning sessions with ministers from African countries will also be held to discuss additional pilot projects and large scale deployments.  “The NComputing virtual desktops give us an important opportunity to significantly expand computing access and simplify deployment,” said Dr. Paul Jhin. “This maximizes the use of donated and refurbished computers and simplifies deployment and power requirements, which are key issues in many parts of the developing world.”

NComputing has sold over one million virtual desktops in over 140 countries in the last 24 months. Many are used in education, where more than 20,000 schools and millions of students are already benefiting from the technology.  “Closing the digital divide is a key mission for NComputing,” said Stephen Dukker, CEO and chairman of NComputing. “We are honored to partner with the United Nations on this very important initiative; it will have an enormous impact on the lives of millions of children throughout the world.”

The initiative is developing a number of partnerships with commercial enterprises, computer recyclers, universities, and non-profit organizations to provide technology, logistical support, content development, and training for the deployments in Africa and other developing countries.

New gameplay video delivers an assault on the senses and on the battlefield at www.flashpointgame.com.

– Monday, 1st June, 2009 – Think carefully, every choice is critical and death is never more than a tactical error away in Operation Flashpoint®: Dragon Rising as revealed in the E3 2009 gameplay trailer released today and now available from www.flashpointgame.com.

As a soldier in the US Marine Corps, fighting a fearsome enemy on the remote Pacific island of Skira, gamers face critical choices that will make the difference between life and death. Using every ounce of their skill and resources, players must overcome the deadly Chinese PLA advance force that is claiming sovereignty over the oil-rich island and defuse a military flashpoint between two global superpowers that threatens to engulf the world.

Set in a completely open-ended 220km2 game environment, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising will put the fear back into the shooter by immersing players in a chillingly realistic conflict with an immense level of detail and authenticity. Players are given the freedom to handle unscripted missions on their own initiative, deploying the weaponry, vehicles and equipment of a state-of-the-art contemporary fighting force.

Whether it’s assaulting, flanking or suppressing the enemy, or calling on fire support to rain down from the skies, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising demands players think on their feet, reacting quickly to any situation the game’s advanced AI throws at them. No two engagements ever play out the same way and Skira’s theatre of war is a tense, intimidating experience that brings gamers closer to war than they’ll ever want to get.

“Tactics are everything in Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising” said Sion Lenton, Executive Producer, Codemasters. “If players charge in Rambo-style, as in some first-person shooters, it will be game over, very quickly. We empower players to approach things differently and use every available tactic and resource to achieve their objectives.”
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising is set to deliver the most accessible, engaging and visceral sandbox shooter of the year when it’s published this Spring for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Games For Windows®. Brush up on your tactics with the new video, now available online at www.flashpointgame.com.

Monday May 25th- Atari Australia, a subsidiary of Infogrames Entertainment, today announced with immediate effect, a strategic partnership with SouthPeak Games® to distribute the futuristic multiplayer FPS Section 8 in Q3 of 2009.

Developed by TimeGate Studios, Section 8 is an intense first-person shooter that gives players unprecedented strategic control over the battlefield, employing tactical assets and on-demand vehicle deliveries to dynamically alter the flow of combat. Set in the distant future when humanity is facing a growing insurrection among its colonies, Earth dispatches the elite 8th Armoured Infantry to turn the tide against a rebel group called the Arm of Orion.

Utilizing advanced powered armour suits, these volunteers are the only ones crazy enough to smash through enemy defences and drop directly into the battlefield from 15,000 feet. Their bravery earned them the nickname “Section 8”, an old military regulation where soldiers were classed as unfit for duty due to mental instability.
Due for release on PC and the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, Section 8 is set to evolve multiplayer FPS combat. This is in part due to the Dynamic Combat Missions – bespoke multiplayer missions that can be called in during battles – and the ability to drop straight into the action from above the battle zone.

For more information on Atari’s entire product line up visit www.atari.com.au and log on to the Atari Trade Site for all box shots, demos, trailers and online screenshots.
