Sydney, Australia: April 20, 2011 — Kingston Digital, Inc., the Flash memory affiliate of Kingston Technology Company, Inc., the independent world leader in memory products, today announced the DataTraveler 4000-M Managed (DT4000-M) USB Flash drive, a fully managed version of the company’s DataTraveler 4000 product. Specifically developed and priced for enterprise deployments, the FIPS-certified DT4000-M leverages SafeConsole for Kingston® server software from BlockMaster to deliver best-in-class USB protection, flexibility and centralized management control at an affordable cost.

The Ponemon Institute (www.ponemon.org) released data last month highlighting that data breach costs are skyrocketing. Specifically, monetary loss related to mobile devices for US-based organizations surveyed rose 15 percent year-over-year to $258 per record. Data from other industry sources show a 400-percent year-over-year increase in lost USBs during 2010, with 1 in 10 employees losing a USB drive containing corporate info. Additionally, a recent survey from BlockMaster (http://www.blockmastersecurity.com/security/majority-of-workers-expose-businesses-to-malware-and-data-loss/) found that 76 percent of workers plug unknown USB drives into their company laptops, exponentially increasing the risk of passing on viruses and malware to their corporate networks.

Encryption can protect data from unauthorized access, but in some cases adds complications that prompt employees to circumvent company-approved drives in favor of consumer drives for ease of use. This scenario unfolded in the case of Cambridgeshire County Council (http://www.blockmastersecurity.com/security/majority-of-workers-expose-businesses-to-malware-and-data-loss/) in February 2011.

Addressing these business, technology and user dynamics, the DT4000-M is the only enterprise-focused drive on the market to meet the requirements of all stakeholders, including:

“Recent data loss statistics and events underscore the critical enterprise need — not just for secure USB drives — but for corporate-wide secure USB drive strategies,” said Nathan Su, Flash Memory Sales Director, APAC Region, Kingston. “The DT4000-M provides the right level of security with the right level of cost, flexibility and ease-of-use.”

The DT4000-M complements Kingston’s recently announced DataTraveler Vault Privacy — Managed USB Flash drive in benefitting from the world-class SafeConsole for Kingston server software from BlockMaster, a security leader with the broadest and most mature central management offering on the market. Kingston and BlockMaster will exhibit together at Infosecurity Europe Conference (http://www.infosec.co.uk/page.cfm/Link=687/t=m/goSection=3) in booths F60 and D91.

“Data loss resulting from unsecure and unmanaged USB use has plagued organizations long enough,” said Anders Kjellander, Chief Security Office, BlockMaster. “The DT4000-M is truly impressive. It represents the first time a managed secure FIPS drive is being made available for corporate use at a price point designed to fuel wide and rapid adoption by enterprises. The 100-percent secure and 100-percent managed DT4000-M is a SafeConsoleReady device that will attract a lot of attention.”

The DT4000-M adds another strong platform to the DataTraveler line which comprises the industry’s only secure USB family — ranging from general purpose business use to flexible, managed enterprise offerings as well as platforms for the most secure and rigid government standards.

New Screens

The first screenshots of Saints Row: The Third, featuring a skydiving shootout, a massive tank battle on the streets of Steelport and a showdown with a heavily-armed Mexican wrestling gang.

New Environment Concept Art

Your first look at Steelport, a city of sin controlled by the Syndicate, a global criminal organisation whose latest enterprise is the eradication of the Third Street Saints.

New Character Art

Your first look at the major players of Steelport:

• Phillipe Loren: the cold, calculating leader of the Syndicate
• Zimos: an old-school pimp who hates Morningstar and what they’ve done to pimping, mostly because they ran him out of business and pimpin’ ain’t easy.
• Killbane: leader of the Luchidores Mexican Wrestling gang that has cornered the gambling trade in Steelport.
• Angel de la Muerte: Killbane’s former tag-team partner. The relationship did not end well.
• Matt Miller: Leader of the Deckers and specialist in high-tech cybercrime

About Saints Row: The Third

Developed by Volition, Saints Row: The Third is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, and Windows PC later this year.

Years after taking Stilwater for their own, the Third Street Saints have evolved from street gang to household brand name, with Saints sneakers and Saints energy drinks available at a store near you. The Saints are kings of Stilwater, but their celebrity status has not gone unnoticed. The Syndicate, a legendary criminal fraternity with pawns in play all over the globe, has turned its eye on the Saints and demands tribute. Refusing to kneel to the Syndicate, you take the fight to Steelport, a once-proud metropolis reduced to a struggling city of sin under Syndicate control. Take a tank skydiving, call in a satellite-targeted airstrike on a Mexican wrestling gang and defend yourself against a highly-trained military force in the most outlandish gameplay scenarios ever seen, igniting a city-wide war that will set Steelport on fire.

Look out for more information on Saints Row: The Third in the coming months. You can stay up to date on Saints Row: The Third and other projects from Volition Inc. on twitter

Samsung to Combine Hard Disk Drive Operations into Seagate

Companies to Enter Into Extensive Supply and Cross-Licensing Agreements

Samsung to Receive Significant Equity Ownership in Seagate

April 19, 2011 – Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), the world leader in hard disk drives and storage solutions, and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in digital consumer electronics and information technology, today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Seagate and Samsung will significantly expand and strengthen their strategic relationship by further aligning their respective ownership, investments and key technologies. Major elements of the agreement include:

· Samsung combining its hard disk drive (HDD) operations into Seagate

· Extending and enhancing the existing patent cross-license agreement between the companies

· A NAND flash memory supply agreement under which Samsung will provide Seagate with its market-leading semiconductor products for use in Seagate’s enterprise solid state drives (SSDs), solid state hybrid drives and other products

· A disk drive supply agreement under which Seagate will supply disk drives to Samsung for PCs, notebooks and consumer electronics

· Expanded cooperation between the companies to co-develop enterprise storage solutions

· Samsung receiving significant equity ownership in Seagate

· A shareholder agreement under which an executive of Samsung will be nominated to join Seagate’s Board of Directors

The combined value of these transactions and agreements is approximately $1.375 billion USD, which will be paid by Seagate to Samsung in the form of 50% stock and 50% cash.

These transactions and related strategic agreements will enable both companies to better align their current and future product development efforts and roadmaps, accelerate time-to-market for new products and position the companies to better address rapidly evolving opportunities in markets including, but not limited to, mobile computing, cloud computing and solid state storage. In connection with its strategic alliance with Samsung, Seagate expects also to strengthen its relationship with TDK Corporation/SAE Magnetics (H.K.) Ltd. Together, these transactions and agreements broaden a strategic relationship between Seagate and Samsung that began with a joint development agreement announced in August 2010.

“We are pleased to strengthen our strategic relationship with Samsung in a way that better aligns both companies around technologies and products,” said Steve Luczo, Seagate chairman, president and CEO. “With these agreements, we expect to achieve greater scale and deliver a broader range of innovative storage products and solutions to our customers, while facilitating our long-term relationship with Samsung.”

Seagate expects these transactions and agreements to be meaningfully accretive to non-GAAP diluted earnings per share and cash flow within the first full year following the closing, and Seagate does not expect any material restructuring costs in connection with them.

“Delivering value to the market and consumers is the primary goal of the extensive agreement announced today. Samsung looks forward to extending our existing strategic ties with Seagate, to deliver creative technology solutions for a broad diversity of consumer, business and industrial applications,” said Oh-hyun, Kwon, president of the semiconductor business of Samsung Electronics.

The transactions and agreements significantly expand Seagate’s customer access in China and Southeast Asia. In addition, the mutual supply agreements enable Seagate to secure an important source of leading-edge NAND flash supply as the company expands its SSD and solid state hybrid product offerings, and position Seagate to be a more significant supplier of disk drives to Samsung. The agreement also gives Samsung a significant ownership position in Seagate.

Under the terms of the agreement, Samsung will receive consideration consisting of 50% Seagate ordinary shares and 50% cash. Upon closing, Samsung will receive Seagate ordinary shares valued at $687.5 million (45.2 million shares, or approximately 9.6% ownership of Seagate, which is based on Seagate’s 30-day volume weighted average stock price prior to signing), plus $687.5 million in cash. Samsung will have a right to designate a nominee to join Seagate’s Board of Directors following closing.

The agreement has no financing contingencies, and is subject to customary closing conditions, including review by U.S. and international regulators. The transactions are expected to close by the end of calendar year 2011.

Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated served as financial advisor and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Professional Corporation served as legal advisor to Seagate in connection with the transaction. Allen & Company LLC served as financial advisor and Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP served as legal advisor to Samsung.

The disagreeable mother-in-law stereotype seems to have some founding with 30% of Australian men admitting that they have to pretend to like theirs and 21% (more than one in five) confessing that they avoid their partners mother whenever they can. But it seems when it comes to the family we marry into, Father in laws are just as bad.

A survey of over 500 Australians commissioned to celebrate the launch of Meet the Fockers on DVD and Blu-ray ,discovered that a higher proportion of people have more trouble with their father in law than they do with their partner’s mother. 33% of men and 22% of women said that they had to fake their friendship with their father in law and nearly one in ten women (9%) said that they were intimidated by their husband’s father (more than twice than said the same thing about their mother in law).

The survey also asked respondents to identify who their perfect and worst nightmare in laws would be. Perhaps unsurprisingly Australia voted Charlie Sheen to be the worst potential father in law (though some 6% of male respondents also included him in their ideal list) by a substantial margin (32%) with Ozzie Osbourne and Prince Charles making up the top three candidates.

Richard Branson was voted most ideal father in law by both men and women closing out 23% of the vote. Rove made the top three spot for both women and men with Harrison Ford stealing the last spot for men and Clint Eastwood doing it for the ladies.

Oprah Winfrey’s visit to Australia clearly won her some fans because Australia voted her most ideal mother in law potential. Men also picked Maggie Beer and Michelle Pfeiffer whereas women chose Maggie Beer and Helen Mirren.

The title of Nightmare Mother In Law was secured by three politicians. Sarah Palin and Julia Gillard both made it into the top three but it was Pauline Hanson who walked away with the trophy.

The survey also asked participants who they thought was the most dysfunctional fictional family on the screen (big or small). The Simpsons took the most votes, followed closely by The Griffins from Family Guy and the Moodys from Californication. The Fockers beat out The Sopranos and the Gallaghers (Shameless) for the fourth spot but did not make the medals. Despite having two serial killers in the family the Morgans (Dexter) did not place.

Little Fockers is available on DVD and Blu-ray from Thursday 21st of April.
