Rubiks Launches iPhone App for Rubiks Race

(PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Puzzle fans can now play the addictive Rubiks Race game on the move with Rubiks new app for iPhone & iPad, making the latest Rubiks craze instantly accessible for gaming fun. Available in the Apple app store, the Rubiks Race app features fast-paced, sliding puzzle-based game play as users try to match patterns and beat the clock, whilst unlocking perks and dodging the pitfalls.

The popular Rubiks Race game on which the app is based takes the simple concept of a sliding tile puzzle and turns it into a fast-paced game for one or two players that gets brains and fingers racing.

Explained David Kremer of Rubiks: The concept of Rubiks Race is beautifully simple and the app works on the same principle, but it means that you can sneak in some practice on your own whenever you like, as well as pitting yourself against friends. With the fun and flexibility of three ways to play and your best scores being posted to the game centre as well as to Facebook, it adds a whole new dimension to the game.

After the success of the original cube app we wanted to give the loyal fans of Rubiks something more, said David. With the recent launch of Rubiks Race, we felt the app was the perfect way to offer our fans a new way to play. The brightly coloured square tiles are instantly identifiable as Rubiks and we hope that people will have as much fun with this as the physical game.

The apps Arcade mode is a level-based version of the game where you pit your wits against the clock, with perks and pitfalls adding to the excitement. Complete increasingly more complex patterns as the levels progress and when the timer runs out, youre out!

The Time Attack option uses the basic game where you create a nine-tile pattern of the apps choice as quickly as possible. To get interactive, you can compete against the times of others as well as your own best scores using Games Centre leader boards.

As with the original Rubiks Race, Play & Pass mode allows you to compete against friends on the same device to see who really is the best Racer out of your friends.

Rubiks Race is available via the app store for iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch for

The professionals at Briggs Buick GMC - the leading GMC dealer in Manhattan, KS - are excited about the new navigation system in the Terrain.

The system will also have onboard navigation capabilities, including a secure digital card-based map database that can be updated, many different map views and a multitude of input methods to enter the destination.

By offering hands-free control of Bluetooth phones and voice commands through OnStar, Terrains Color Touch system allows drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road, making it safe and useful at the same time.

The system will also offer an SD card reader that will be connected to a photo viewer function that lets passengers view pictures from cameras or other devices in the display when the Terrain is parked. The LCD screen also displays album art stored on a connected iPod, which is quite nice for music lovers.

Todays car buyers dont want to settle for mass-market radio, and they dont have to, said Tim Nixon, executive director, Global Electrical Systems, Infotainment and Electrification, citing GM research.

They expect to have access to personalized media wherever they are and the introduction of the Color Touch Radio and Navigation System makes media personalization easier than ever.

Sacramento Water Damage Repair Experts On The Cancer Related Death Of Apple Founder Steve Jobs

Sacramento, Ca (PRWEB) October 06, 2011

Sacramento water damage repair and restoration experts company owner Maria Neumann was at the Sacramento Apple store on October 5, 2011 at around 6:00 p.m. when she first heard the news that Steve Jobs of Apple Computer had passed away according to Yahoo News. Sacramento water damage repair is my business and I deal with real emergencies all the time, I cry with my customers all the time, but this is different. To have a man that changed the way we live pass away far too early is a major injustice, said Maria. According to eye witness accounts many people who had come to see the iPhone 4S at the Sacramento Apple Store started to cry upon hearing the news that Steve Jobs had assed away. Other recounted the numberless accomplishments Jobs had achieved while at Apple and Pixar. Maria is one of many millions who are mourning the loss of former Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs. Maria said she first heard the news on Google in the plus community she belongs to while she was waiting in line at the Sacramento Apple Store. The news of the death of Steve Jobs came across and I thought it was a hoax. He was running the company just a few weeks ago. As more and more plus postings, tweets and facebook updates came across I knew it was the truth, said Maria.

For many Steve Jobs is the person who brought the personal computer into the home and small business. For the younger generation he is the person who revolutionized the way we listen to music. For the current generation Steve Jobs is the visionary who brought iPods, iPhones and iPads. I specialize in Sacramento water damage repair and restoration and I commit myself to customer satisfaction the way Steve Jobs did, says Maria of Water Damage Recovery.

Steve Jobs has fought a very public battle with cancer over the last few years. In 2004 he had a pancreatic cancer surgery and in 2009 he had a liver transplant. He fought a hard battle for many years and eventually passed as a result of his condition but he will be remembered for centuries.

When Steve Jobs was 35 he was asked to leave the company he started with Stephen Wozniak in 1976 out of a garage in Silicon Valley in Northern California. After 12 years he was asked to return to Apple after being recognized as a visionary and marketing genius. During his 12 year absence from Apple Steve Jobs became an integral part of developing Pixar Productions which has produced many successful movies such as, Toy Story.
