Rob Zombie – Icon Features the Best of His Musical Horror Show

Comments: 0August 31st, 2010 by Kristofer

Single-CD And Double-CD Retrospectives Chronicle Rock’s Master Of Grooves And Gore

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ — The Master of monster mayhem is back to unleash two new ghoulish delights with the best of Rob Zombie’s psycho-metal music in tow. Rob Zombie – Icon (Geffen/UMe) is a double assault with a 12-track single-CD and 24-track double-CD versions to be released on August 31, 2010. Revising as well as updating his previous collections with tracks from his most recent super-smash studio masterpiece album–the Top 10-charting Hellbilly Deluxe 2: Noble Jackals, Penny Dreadfuls And The Systematic Dehumanization Of Cool–the single-CD (exclusive to Walmart) offers an overview of his solo career while the double-CD (exclusive to Best Buy) adds tracks from his seminal days with White Zombie.

Whether it’s the single-CD or double-CD, Rob Zombie – Icon represents the best of rock’s most frightful vision of the dark side. Rob Zombie – Icon is part of the new Icon series of albums from Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) featuring the greatest hits, signature tunes and fan favorites of the most popular artists in music history. With more than 15 million albums sold, 7 Grammy® nominations, the helming of 5 major motion pictures and dozens of music videos under his belt, Rob Zombie is a force to be reckoned with in today’s entertainment landscape. Zombie’s unique meld of horror and hard rock has influenced his sound as a musician and, more recently, his vision as a director and writer.

Showcasing Zombie’s command of the horror movie genre, Zombie’s first film, HOUSE OF 1,000 CORPSES (Lionsgate 2004), became an instant cult classic. In 2005, Zombie assaulted the film world with the critically acclaimed THE DEVIL’S REJECTS (Lionsgate). In 2007, Zombie had a bona fide blockbuster hit with his re-imagining of HALLOWEEN, and his sequel HALLOWEEN 2 (2009) had record-breaking success at the box office as well.

This year, Zombie returns to making music. Zombie enthusiasts can also look forward to the release of the special edition of HELLBILLY DELUXE 2 via new label home Roadrunner/Loud & Proud Records. Set to street on September 28, this deluxe version of HD2 will feature three brand new tracks: "Everything Is Boring," "Michael" and "Devil’s Hole Girls And The Big Revolution," as well as a reimagining of "The Man Who Laughs." In addition, the package will include a brand new video for "Mars Needs Women" (shot during the "Gruesome Twosome" tour with Alice Cooper), a live version of Cooper’s classic "School’s Out" with Cooper on board, and a 30-minute DVD featuring a tour documentary entitled "Transylvanian Transmissions," along with all-new expanded artwork.

As the goo eats objects it grows bigger, thereby giving it the ability to eat even larger objects. The goo could grow from the size of an ant to the size of a mountain in a single level.

Players will eat their way through six different time periods: modern, Late Cretaceous (i.e. dinosaurs), Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Feudal Japan, and the distant future. Each time period features a unique set of objects for the player to eat. Mice, cats, Tyrannosaurus Rex, mummies, gladiators, and flying saucers are just a few of the hundreds of objects available for consumption.

Development is wrapping up and Dingo Games will be releasing the game in the next few weeks. Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds will be available on Windows and Mac.

Laplink Releases PC to Mac Transfer and Synchronization Tool

Comments: 0August 26th, 2010 by Kristofer

Laplink Software, Inc., the leader in PC migration software, today announced the release of Switch & Sync, the easiest way to move from a PC to a Mac(TM).

Switch & Sync makes moving to a Mac or synchronizing folders between a PC and a Mac simple. It quickly and easily copies all selected files and folders from a PC to a Mac, even automatically converting email, contacts and calendars from their PC format for use on a Mac with programs such as Apple Mail and Entourage.

The Outlook conversion feature (compatible with Outlook 2000 or later, Windows Mail and Outlook Express 6 or later) is unique to Switch & Sync, saving users a significant amount of time and hassle.

"Customers have been asking us for a PCmover-type solution for Macs," said Laplink Software CEO Thomas Koll. "Laplink made PC to PC migration fast and easy and now we’ve done the same thing for PC to Mac migration."

PCmover is the #1 best-selling migration solution in the world and is the only software that moves programs, files and settings from an old PC to a new one. Laplink has also been recognized for many years as an expert in file transfer and synchronization technology.

Switch & Sync builds on this reputation by automatically copying all of the files and folders the user selects – including documents, music and pictures – from a PC to a Mac. It can then be used to keep all of the files and folders up-to-date between the PC and Mac with automated synchronization and Laplink’s patented SpeedSync® technology. This allows users to enjoy the benefits of each machine and use them in tandem, while SpeedSync helps them work quickly without missing a beat.

SpeedSync® is patented Laplink technology that dramatically reduces the transfer times of modified data. It accomplishes this by only syncing the portions of files that have been changed. This allows for the fastest possible synchronizations, which keeps users from having to wait long periods of time for files to transfer between two computers. Switch & Sync also uses SmartXChange®, which is designed to recognize when files have been deleted, renamed or replaced; streamlining the entire process.

"Moving from a PC to a Mac has not been a simple process – until now," continued Koll. "And, Switch & Sync offers the fastest file transfer and synchronization possible, which is why it is the ideal solution for both switching from a PC to a Mac as well as keeping PCs and Macs in sync ."

  Other Switch & Sync features include:
  --  A user-friendly interface for copying and moving data quickly and
      easily.
  --  Automated file synchronization allowing users to automatically sync
      files and folders daily, weekly or monthly between PCs and Macs.
  --  Laplink's classic dual-pane window, which allows users to drag and
      drop files between the two computers.

Switch & Sync is available at www.laplink.com for $39.95 and is offered in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish. It can also be purchased from most major software retailers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany.
