LOS ANGELES, CA, March 10, 2011 (Press-News.org) The new app store for the free semYOU app computing system heralds the future of software use: a large number of ad-free, no-cost apps offering entertainment, tools, games and management are now available at www.semyou.com. The apps are based on the latest Microsoft Silverlight technology and offer all the advantages of cloud computing. Startup semYOU thus represents true competition against Google's Apps Marketplace.
Applications are now available on local computers, easily, free of charge and on demand: a mail program, media player, word processing tools, games or social networking - in the app store, located at www.semyou.com, users will find a free app for just about any purpose. The only requirement is an internet connection and a semYOU account. After login, all applications can be run in three different ways: via the semYOU web desktop, directly via the app store or through a local link on desktop PCs, notebooks or netbooks. At the same time, all users benefit from the advantages of cloud computing: all applications only need to be loaded once. Thereafter, new versions are automatically available, with manual updates no longer required. Personal data is stored on a secure online drive for convenient access from anywhere.
The new app store will initially offer 25 applications. The offering will be gradually expanded over the next several weeks. While in Google's Apps Marketplace all applications must be installed using the not yet widely accepted Chrome browser, semYOU apps can be used with any browser. Thanks to Silverlight technology, for the first time, web applications can offer functions that have so far been reserved only for rich client applications. Unlike other app stores, the new semYOU app store is not exclusively geared toward smartphone use but can be used on local PCs as well.
"With semYOU, we're taking software use in the private and business spheres in a completely different direction," explains Volker Jahns, CEO of semYOU GmbH. "Unlike Google and Apple, we don't see the less capable HTML 5 as the standard of the future. Instead, we're betting on Microsoft's superior Silverlight technology. Soon, we'll also be releasing an Enterprise Suite from semYOU with software for businesses." This will allow companies as well - in conjunction with the semYOU Tool Suite - to create their own private clouds based on IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) or PaaS (Platform as a Service) By the time the next semYOU version is released, external developers will be able to easily develop their own apps using our software development kit (SDK) and upload them to the system.

Smoking abstinence found more effective with residential treatment
2011-03-09
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- In the March issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings, researchers report that residential treatment for tobacco dependence among heavy smokers greatly improves the odds of abstinence at six months compared with standard outpatient treatment. The study reports that 52 percent of the patients were still not smoking six months after residential treatment, compared with 26 percent in the outpatient treatment setting.
"This means there is hope for patients who are tobacco dependent and feel they have exhausted every other means of trying to quit smoking," says ...
The underemployed -- increasing and overlooked
2011-03-09
RENO, Nev. – While unemployment has been a frequent topic of discussion during the recession, underemployment and its effects have not, even though the number of underemployed workers has also increased. A study published online last week in the Journal of Management, "'I Have a Job, But…' A Review of Underemployment," by University of Nevada, Reno Assistant Professor Frances M. McKee-Ryan and University of Alabama Assistant Professor Jaron Harvey brings attention to the topic and its potentially detrimental effects to individuals, organizations and society.
The study ...
Hit multiple targets for maximum benefit in HER2-positive breast cancer, studies suggest
2011-03-09
Combining targeted therapies might be required for maximum anti-tumor activity when treating HER2-positive breast cancers, according to two new studies by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) investigators.
The findings, reported in two papers in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), suggest that upregulation of the HER3 receptor limits the effectiveness of two classes of targeted therapies (HER2- and PI3 kinase-targeted therapies). Therefore targeting HER3 together with these agents should improve their clinical utility.
Around 25 percent of ...
1 in 5 children in Sweden is overweight
2011-03-09
Researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy – University of Gothenburg, Sweden - and Karolinska Institutet have carried out the first ever national study of the prevalence of overweight and obesity in schoolchildren. It reveals that one in five children in Sweden is overweight, and that there is a link between low levels of education and overweight children.
Published in the online version of the journal Obesity Reviews, the study was part of a European project, the WHO European Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative, that involved 14 European countries.

Intelligence analysts need not fear 'Watson,' study shows
2011-03-09
The artificial intelligence program "Watson" may have outsmarted human competitors on the television quiz show "Jeopardy!" recently, but it would have to go a long way to best an intelligence analyst, according to Kristan Wheaton, J.D., associate professor of intelligence studies at Mercyhurst College.
On Feb. 14-16, the reigning champions of Jeopardy! – Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter – faced a formidable new competitor – a supercomputer named Watson under development by IBM for four years. Watson defeated his adversaries handily.

2011-03-09
Surgeons at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center performed the first hand transplant in the western United States in an operation that began one minute before midnight on Friday, March 4, and was completed 14-and-a-half hours later, on Saturday, March 5.
The transplant was performed on a 26-year-old mother from Northern California who lost her right hand in a traffic accident nearly five years ago. UCLA is only the fourth center in the nation to offer this procedure, and the first west of the Rockies. This was the 13th hand transplant surgery performed in the United States. ...
Text messaging helps smokers break the habit
2011-03-09
EUGENE, Ore. -- A pair of related studies on smoking cessation by researchers at the University of Oregon and other institutions have isolated the brain regions most active in controlling urges to smoke and demonstrated the effectiveness of text-messaging to measure and intervene in those urges.
Both projects used the same group of test subjects -- 27 heavy smokers recruited from the American Lung Association's Freedom From Smoking program in Los Angeles.
Elliot Berkman, professor of psychology at the UO, and colleagues Emily Falk at the University of Michigan and Matthew ...
