LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OpenX, the world’s leading independent advertising technology provider, today announced that after successful testing in Q1 with more than 100 premium mobile applications, it would be taking its first of its kind opt-in mobile video exchange to full beta, providing brands with access to th... |
“The OpenX opt-in video exchange delivers a rare win-win-win for the market providing advertisers with 100% viewable advertising experiences, app developers with significant and growing revenue streams, and consumers with an advertising solution that delivers value for their time and attention,” said Maggie Mesa,VP of ... |
The announcement follows the highly successful alpha testing period where more than 100 premium mobile apps from more than half a dozen key segments experienced CPM rates that were 2.5X higher than average for mobile interstitial video. Completion rates were also 30 percentage points higher, showcasing the ability of o... |
“Studies have shown that opt-in video is easily the most preferred ad format by consumers in mobile, ranking higher than skippable pre-roll and more than 3 times higher than non-skippable pre-roll. This leads to high completion rates and a halo effect for brands that advertisers love,” said Mesa. |
Initial tests shatter perceptions that opt-in video is for gaming only with CPM Increases of 250 percent. |
England’s Football Association says their plan to sell Wembley Stadium will not go ahead after potential purchaser, American Shahid Khan, withdrew his offer. |
“At a recent meeting with Mr Khan he expressed to us that, without stronger support from within the game, his offer is being seen as more divisive than it was anticipated to be and has decided to withdraw his proposal,” FA chief executive Martin Glenn said in a statement. |
The billionaire made his offer public in April and the FA had planned to invest £600 million from the sale into grassroots football projects and facilities. |
The potential sale had been discussed by the FA’s Board and the full FA Council was due to vote on the matter on October 24th. |
Khan, who owns American football team the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NFL (National Football League) and English Premier League club Fulham, said his offer had not received the full backing he had hoped for. |
“At this moment, following last week’s FA Council hearing, it appears there is no definitive mandate to sell Wembley and my current proposal, subsequently, would earn the backing of only a slim majority of the FA Council, well short of the conclusive margin that the FA Chairman has required,” Khan said in a statement. |
“The intent of my efforts was, and is, to do right by everyone in a manner that strengthens the English game and brings people together, not divides them,” he added. |
There had been opposition to the sale from within the game with some critics questioning the wisdom of losing ownership of the national stadium and others sceptical of the future investments in the game. |
“Unfortunately, given where we are today, I’ve concluded that the outcome of a vote next week would be far from sufficient in expressing the broad support favored by the FA Chairman to sell Wembley Stadium,” Khan said. |
However Khan left the door open for the future. |
“I cannot rule out revisiting the opportunity at another time when perhaps the Football Association family is unified in its views on the opportunity,” he said. |
Aitor Karanka has explained why he played Viktor Fischer instead of Adam Traore against Hull. |
The Middlesbrough head coach’s decision to drop the player who’d been a major catalyst in Boro’s improved form since the home loss to Watford wasn’t widely welcomed before kick-off. |
But the switch paid off when his replacement sent over the corner that Gaston Ramirez headed home on the hour mark. |
Asked by the Gazette why he opted for Fischer ahead of Traore, Karanka said he thought the fact that Boro would have lots of possession would be a key factor. |
He indicated that Fischer would be more comfortable on the ball unlike Traore, who has been particularly effective on the break, hurting the opposition with his blistering pace after Middlesbrough have soaked up pressure. |
With the two widemen tasked with cutting inside from the flank, the Boro boss hoped full-backs Antonio Barragan and Fabio da Silva would be able to exploit the space on the overlap. |
"I felt we were going to have a lot of possession and I feel Adama is better when he can find space," said Karanka. |
"I knew that Hull would be defending most of the time and with Viktor playing on the left and coming inside and Gaston on the right coming inside we could create lots of space for Fabio and Antonio and I think we played really well because it was difficult, especially the first half when all of them (the Hull players) ... |
"It was a difficult game for Adama because playing at home against Hull we needed more possession." |
'Teen Mom' star Amber Portwood is getting a new lease on life. She was released this morning (Nov. 4) from prison -- almost four years early! |
The 23-year-old single mother had been serving a five-year sentence at Indiana's Rockville Correctional Facility following her December 2011 arrest on drug possession charges. |
Even though she chose to serve out her full sentence instead of accepting the terms of a court-ordered drug program, she earned "good time credit" to gain the early release, a spokesperson for the Indiana Department of Correction confirmed. The earned credits were for good behavior behind bars and for taking part in a ... |
She was seen leaving the facility and greeting friends and family, including brother Shawn Portwood, who tweeted about his sister's early release over the weekend. |

The Nuggets tied their best 30-game start in franchise history. Denver’s terrible loss to the Clippers may have left a sour taste in the mouths of Nuggets fans to start their holiday season, but nevertheless that should not eclipse the genuinely impressive accomplishment the team achieved just prior to that blowout.

Jamal Murray dished out a career-high 15 assists against Dallas in that same game, punctuating the fact that he has made significant progress with his playmaking and ball handling in recent games. Much like Jokic has stepped up to carry his team through their injury struggles, the Blue Arrow – despite his continued sho... |
Jokic was thrown out of the Clippers game in the third quarter after complaining about a foul call. It was at best a dubious decision by the referee, who instead of going through the customary process of administering a first technical foul on earlier complaints to serve as a warning, waited until the worst possible po... |
Denver enters a somewhat odd stretch following Christmas, playing a “home-and-home” series with two consecutive games against the San Antonio Spurs, then flying to Phoenix for a game on the second night of a back-to-back against the Suns.

The iPhone may be a very popular platform with millions of users and tens of thousands of apps, but if you plan on developing for Apple’s device you have two choices. The first is to learn some Objective-C and attempt to develop your app from scratch, where as the second involves using an engine such as Unity, Torque 2... |
Novell may have a solution, however, if you currently work with .NET and C#, which a lot of application developers do in comparison to those that work with Objective-C. Novell already produce Mono, which is a .NET platform solution supporting C# and will deploy to a number of operating systems from a single code base i... |
Now Novell are offering MonoTouch 1.0, which allows developers to take a C# .NET app and easily port it to the iPhone and give the ability to have that app interact across the different platforms Mono already supports. Novell are providing everything a developer needs with MonoTouch including compilers, libraries, and ... |
Unlike the open source Mono project, MonoTouch isn’t free and will cost $399 for a personal license or $999 for a corporate license. In both cases the license doesn’t need renewing, but you are limited to 12 months of updates with additional payment expected to keep that support going there after. A free evaluation cop... |
I think this will encourage more apps on the iPhone that don’t fall into the games category. Those developers already focused on C# and .NET applications may see it as a simple way on to the iPhone and more importantly, a simple way to get existing apps interacting and communicating with the iPhone. |
At $399 for the cheapest license the price is significantly higher than a Unity Indie license, which offers a complete development environment for the iPhone. However, that and other engines are mainly aimed at games development where as MonoTouch is more business app targeted and aimed at another section of the develo... |
Development solutions continue to appear for the iPhone with GameSalad being another upcoming addition to the list of choices. I have no doubt we’ll see a few more and could see some of the bigger names join that list if the popularity of the device, especially as a gaming platform, continues at its current pace. |

Tyrone collected the coveted Anglo Celt Cup for the 15th time in their history when an impressive second half display saw them get the better of a dogged Down side 2-17 to 0-15 in the sweltering heat in Clones. |
It was a sixth Provincial title success for Mickey Harte at senior level and he pointed to Tyrone’s start to the second half as being key to victory. |
“We are naturally pleased to have won another Ulster title,” said Harte. |
“We did believe that Down would be difficult to break down and they proved that in the first half. |
“They were with us every step of the way, it was a pretty intense game, and we knew that we needed a good start to the second half to give ourselves a bit of a leeway or a cushion and we got it. |
“Sometimes we got a really good run of play and we converted the chances that was the big thing. |
“Last day out against Donegal we did that before halftime and today we did it after halftime and that really pushed us into a good place. |
“After that it was a question of keeping the distance and that burst at the start of the second half was probably the winning of the game for us. |
Down improved with every game in the Ulster championship and they came into today’s game with nothing to lose and they went about their business in the first half very intensely and very well. They missed a good goal chance at the end of the first half which was a significant miss on their part and a good let off for u... |
It was the fourth time in their history that Tyrone successful defended the Ulster title and they will no doubt be eager to atone for the disappointment of 12 months ago when they lost by the minimum margin to Mayo in the All-Ireland quarter final at headquarters. |
“We are through to the quarter final of the All-Ireland know and in the past we have fallen at this stage too often for our own good so we will be very focussed on what we are about now and prepare for this game and it is an awful place to go out especially after winning your Provincial title,” said Harte. |
“Unfinished business is when you go to Croke Park as Ulster champions and don’t win. It is now one step at a time, we want to be in the semi-final and that is our next challenge now. |
