About Starpoint Gemini
Starpoint Gemini is a tactical space RPG set in a science-fiction universe, which focuses on the control and strengths of individual vessels and their captains. Players can travel the rich vastness of the Gemini star system freely, fight skirmishes with rogue ships, trade commodities, research anomalies, buy new vessels, upgrade their ships with state-of-the-art technology, increase their experience and rank to become more powerful and ultimately use all that in large scale engagements against other fleets of hostile ships.

Players re-emerge into the star system of Gemini after having been trapped in the so-called Stasis rift anomaly for over twenty years. Unaware of the passage of time, they find Gemini and everything they knew changed beyond recognition. The events that took place two decades ago closed the Gateway to Gemini, and thereby practically sealed the star system off from the rest of the universe. Isolation and unforeseen technological advancement due to the appearance of countless anomalies have turned Gemini to a place of political intrigue, greed
and lust for power. The fate of Gemini has been shaped and the time for reckoning has almost come… Gemini is a dangerous place with riches waiting to be claimed by the most daring and capable of captains.

Acronis vmProtect 6 drives down the cost of protecting VMware virtual servers  

Sydney, 6 September 2011 – Acronis, a leading provider of disaster recovery and data protection solutions for physical, virtual and cloud environments, today launched a fast and simple-to-use backup and disaster recovery solution for VMware customers.

Acronis^® vmProtect^TM 6 has been engineered exclusively for VMware^® vSphere^TM servers (v4.0, 4.1 or later) using ESX and ESXi hypervisors. It provides businesses with a simple-to-deploy, easy-to-manage disaster recovery solution for agentless back up and quick recovery of their VMware virtual environments.

Priced at AU$549 per CPU and with unlimited P2V (physical to virtual) migrations, Acronis vmProtect 6 represents an affordable backup, migration and disaster recovery solution for the growing number of businesses moving to a VMware virtualized server environment.

With an install-to-start backup time of approximately five minutes¹, Acronis vmProtect 6 can recover a virtual machine directly from a backup image, without having to do a full restore, and actual recovery times can take less than a minute. Independent tests show it to be three times faster than the leading competitor to install and start to backup VMware vSphere virtual servers.¹

Acronis vmProtect 6 can be installed as a virtual appliance, eliminating the need to purchase any additional hardware and minimising memory consumption and management overhead. The backup process itself also becomes a quick and easy task. A web-based interface allows remote management, even on a smartphone, simplifying management and reporting tasks.

Acronis vmProtect 6 offers both image and file-level recovery options, which allows users to restore precisely the data that is needed. The granular nature of the application makes it possible to select individual volumes to back up and, for even faster backups, users can analyse the file system to avoid backing up unused blocks and exclude individual files and folders such as temporary or page files.

Data deduplication and compression capabilities are included free with Acronis vmProtect 6 and these further reduce the time taken to back up and recover as well as cutting storage costs. In addition, for added security, backups can be encrypted using industry-standard 256 bit AES algorithms.

“Protecting the virtual infrastructure isn’t as easy as it seems at first glance,” commented Arun Taneja, founding analyst at The Taneja Group. “At virtual infrastructure scale, every second in a backup counts, and every CPU cycle consumed by a virtual appliance means one more chance of interrupting compute.”

Karl Sice, General Manager, Pacific at Acronis said: “Protecting VMware servers should be neither complex nor costly. By using a solution that speaks directly to VMware requirements, businesses can accelerate their virtualization adoption. IT managers need never question the status, availability or recovery time of their virtual data again.”

“Acronis vmProtect 6 is very simple to use and set up. With built-in deduplication, agent-less backups, support for a windows only agent (no need to install an agent on the VMWare host if you prefer), I can reduce hardware needs and storage space costs. I particularly liked the ability to mount your backup as a VM directly from vmProtect, no conversion required, and it’s all done in a matter of seconds! The solution is quick, agile and cost-effective,” said Jonathan Couvaras, Technical and Pre-Sales Support at Datastor Australia, a beta tester of the product.

Adelaide most security savvy, Perth most at risk of being ‘digitally duped’  

Melbourne, 7 September 2011 — Which Australian city is most at risk of stolen identities, email security breaches, fraudulent credit card charges or lost personal data? Leading anti-virus and Internet security software distributor/a> AVG (AU/NZ) Pty Ltd today announced the results of a survey* of online and mobile consumer behaviour across Australia’s five mainland capital cities to uncover who is most likely to be ‘digitally duped’. 

Perth topped the list, making it the most at-risk city based on responses to 10 questions. Brisbane was ranked second. The age-old Sydney-Melbourne rivalry is no closer to being solved following the survey, with both cities placed equal third. Adelaide ranked fifth to be the most security savvy city overall in the survey of 1251 people.

Adelaide:

People in Adelaide appear best at keeping secrets, with just 22 per cent of respondents having shared a password with someone else. Brisbane fared the worst, with 28 per cent admitting telling another person a password.

Despite being ranked Australia’s lowest-risk city overall, Adelaide had the worst record when it comes to backing up computer data: one in three people surveyed (32 per cent) said they don’t back up, compared to 22 per cent in Sydney.

Brisbane:

People in Brisbane had the loosest lips in the survey, with 28 per cent of respondents admitting they have shared a password with at least one other person, compared to 22 per cent of those in secret-keeping Adelaide.

Melbourne:

Melbourne had the second best password confidentiality result in the survey, with just one in four respondents (25 per cent) saying they had shared a password with someone else, to be beaten only by Adelaide (23 per cent).

On the flip side, Melbourne had the second worst record for backing up, with 27 per cent of those surveyed admitting they did not back up their computer data. Only Adelaide had a lower backup rate (32 per cent), with Sydney scoring best (22 per cent).

Perth:

It was not all bad news for Perth. It recorded the second best result for backing up, with only 24 per cent of people surveyed saying they don’t backup their computer data, to be beaten only by Sydney (22 per cent). Adelaide fared worst in the backup stakes with one in three respondents (32 per cent) not backing up data at all.

Sydney:

The survey revealed more people in Sydney (78 per cent of respondents) backup their computer data than those in any other Australian city. Melbourne had the second lowest backup rate (73 per cent), with Adelaide the worst (68 per cent).

Overall Results

Across the board, the survey showed many Australians are putting themselves at risk of identity theft, viruses and malware with poor PC security habits and a lack of comprehensive protection. Of those surveyed in the five cities:

• 22 per cent have been the victim of a phishing scam
• 25 per cent have shared online passwords with at least one other person
• 12 per cent do not run an anti-virus scan at least monthly
• 73 per cent do not use an identity monitoring service or other form of identity protection service.

The survey highlighted some poor mobile protection habits. While most of those questioned (77 per cent) use three or more passwords online, less than one in five (18 per cent) had changed the password on their mobile device in the past year.

The survey also revealed different attitudes to backing up computers and mobile devices. While 74 per cent of those surveyed back up their computer data using cloud or another service, little more than one in three (36 per cent) back up their mobile devices.

“As more data is stored on more devices – and more cybercriminals attempt to get their hands on it — consumers need to be vigilant about safeguarding their personal information,” said Lloyd Borrett, Security Evangelist at AVG (AU/NZ).

“Consumers are getting better at recognising and addressing online threats, but it’s vital to ensure all your bases are covered. Taking some security measures and overlooking others — such as backing up your PC and not your smartphone — is like locking your door and leaving the windows open. Comprehensive online protection means covering all Internet-enabled devices – smartphone, tablet and PC.”

To help consumers protect themselves even more, AVG also unveiled AVG Internet Security 2012, a nimble, high-performance Internet security suite that answers consumers’ calls for simplicity, dependability and freedom of choice. Based on its connection-acceleration technology, light footprint and scanning speeds, AVG is at the forefront of security innovation and provides first-class protection without hampering today’s connected consumer.

“AVG is committed to helping consumers and businesses protect themselves and the things they care about the most,” said Borrett. “Computers and devices have become an extension of every individual at work and at play — and the more we protect these machines, the more we protect ourselves.” 

In addition to installing a robust anti-virus program on all your online devices, AVG recommends the following simple steps to minimise the risk of fraudulent charges, identity theft and personal data loss:

• Practice safe shopping — use one credit card with a low spending limit for all online purchases. Monitor this account regularly and flag any suspicious activity immediately to the bank or financial services provider.

• Don’t pass on passwords — change passwords regularly; use variations for each online account; and never share them with others.

• Back up PCs and mobiles — back up data on all your computers with external hard drives or a cloud-based solution – and don’t forget your mobile devices.

• Protect data on the go — the more personal information shared via mobile devices, the more hackers will target these tools. AVG’s free mobile security application, AVG Mobilation for Android smartphones and tablet computers not only adds protection from malware, it can remotely wipe the device if it is lost or stolen.

• Don’t take the bait — be wary of phishing scams. Never click on links in emails supposedly from banks or other financial institutions. Go directly to their URL and enter your login information from their web site home page.

About the Survey

* AVG (AU/NZ) commissioned Research Now, a leading global online sampling and online data collection company, to survey 1250 consumers in 5 Australian cities who own an Internet-connected device and have Internet-access at home between 5 August and 22 August 2011. Individuals in New Zealand, the United Kingdom and USA were also surveyed.

Yahoo!7 launches comparison website Moneyhound 

Sydney, Australia, September 7, 2011 – Yahoo!7 today announced the launch of Moneyhound, a free online comparison website that helps Australians take control of their finances and save money on their monthly bills.

Moneyhound compares over 2,400 products across personal finance and telco and internet products, and offers greater breadth across more categories than any other comparison site in Australia. Moneyhound includes everyday products like savings accounts, personal loans, credit cards, mobile phone plans, broadband plans and, shortly after launch, will expand to utilities comparison including gas and electricity.

By using Moneyhound, an Australian family could potentially save a massive $11,670 a year.*

A recent poll conducted by Yahoo!7 found that 81 percent of respondents ‘spend a lot of time worrying about their finances’. Moneyhound can help alleviate the worry and stress associated with managing finances by giving users more ownership and empowerment over their money and monthly bills.

Dan Stinton, Head of Audience, Marketplaces for Yahoo!7, said “Australians are looking for ways to save money online and we want to help the eight million monthly visitors to Yahoo!7 do this even better. We know from our research that many Australians find it hard to find the time to compare products even though they realise they could probably save money on their monthly bills. Moneyhound is a safe and trusted environment where users can easily browse products from known providers to find the best deals on the market.”

“At Yahoo!7 we are always looking for new ways to bring the most entertaining and useful content to our audience. I’m delighted we now offer Moneyhound which is part of Yahoo!7 Finance, Australia’s number one finance destination, to help Australians  save money online.”
