Hot Stock IceWEB (IWEB.OB) Consolidated Revenues Expected to Exceed $100 Million for Fiscal 2011
STERLING, Va. – (MARKET WIRE) – March 7, 2011 – IceWEB, Inc.™ (OTCBB:IWEB.ob - News), www.IceWEB.com, a leading provider of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks, announced today that it has reached a definitive merger agreement with Annapolis Junction, Maryland-based Promark Technology, Inc. (“Promark”), a privately-held, national distributor of data storage products and solutions.
With a history of transforming small-share storage brands into market leaders, Promark is a 26 year old private company with a nationwide network of over 1200 value added resellers. The company focuses on selling storage solutions to mid-size and enterprise companies and to organizations in both the private and public sectors.
Currently operating at a $100 million annual revenue run rate, Promark has no debt, over $20,000,000 in current assets and a $10 million line of credit with BB&T bank. Promark has acted as the primary distribution partner for some of the leading storage companies including EqualLogic (acquired by Dell), LeftHand Networks (acquired by HP) and Compellent (acquired by Dell). In December 2010, Promark acquired Nixsar Data Systems, a national storage services and engineering organization with specific expertise in planning, designing, training and installing enterprise data storage systems.
Mr. John R. Signorello, Chairman & CEO of IceWEB, stated, “This is an extraordinary vertical integration merger that will benefit all parties. Customers will have instant access to IceWEB’s outstanding Unified Storage Products along with Promark’s professional engineering services. IceWEB’s shareholders will own shares of a company whose revenues, profits and market share are projected to show immediate and dramatic improvement.
“We have known the Promark team for a considerable time and have the greatest respect for their professionalism, expertise and understanding of the storage space and our shared aspirations. Both firms have looked at the storage space and recognized that to succeed a company must have several things, some of which IceWEB had and some of which Promark Technology had. The combined company will be a data storage powerhouse with over 1200 plus channel partners and a leading 128 bit file system platform. When you blend that with a professional engineering services arm and the ability to ship and deliver expeditiously, the sky is the limit for the combined company. As one entity, we will have all the missing piece(s) of the puzzle necessary for
sustained growth and success in the data storage space. We are tremendously excited by this joining of forces and look forward to the ability to scale up our production to meet the demand that will result from Promark’s sales efforts.”
Mr. Dale Foster, Promark President, stated, “Our experience marketing the IceWEB Storage Appliance line of products quickly brought us to the realization that IceWEB’s unified storage approach gave it a competitive edge, and one that could very rapidly carve out a significant share of the market. It has always been a concern for us that we spend a great deal of time, resources and energy to develop channels for emerging storage companies that eventually are acquired. We want an opportunity to fully reap the rewards of our channel building efforts. We believe that the time is right for Promark to be a part of developing the IceWEB
product line. We looked for a partner that had the advanced technology to successfully compete in the rapidly growing storage market and that company is IceWEB. We know the people, we know the product, we know the space, we know the potential. We and the IceWEB team are enthusiastic about this merger and are expecting tremendous results.”

Say Hello to Nintendo Touchscreen Wii
The Japanese gaming giant on Tuesday unveiled the Wii video game console's successor, which will broadcast high-definition video and feature a touchscreen controller that can detect motion and interact with what appears on a television display.
"Up until now, home console games had to occupy the TV screen in order to be played," said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. "The new controller for Wii U, with its 6.2-inch screen built in, means you won't need to give up your gameplay when someone else comes in the room and wants to watch a TV program."
The white touchscreen controller, reminiscent of Apple Inc.'s iPad and other tablet computers, can broadcast standard-definition video but also features a directional pad, microphone, dual analog sticks, speakers, two pairs of shoulder buttons and a front-facing camera, which can be used to make video calls.
The console itself will use proprietary high-definition optical discs, 1080p HDMI output and internal memory that can be upgraded with USB and SD technology. No other technical specifications were provided.
The prototype controller was demonstrated during the Electronic Entertainment Expo, the gaming industry's annual convention, in several ways: displaying a player's inventory in a "Legend of Zelda" game, offering an alternative way to play a chasing game, being used as a shield from incoming attacks in a first-person shooter game and showing the image of a teed-up golf ball on the ground before it was struck to a putting green depicted on a TV.
The controller was also shown being used to browse the Internet both on a TV and the controller. Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America president, noted that the touchscreen controller is not meant to be a portable gaming device and that the system is dubbed the Wii U because its "unique, unifying and maybe even utopian."
Nintendo said the Wii U will be released between April and December next year and will be backward-compatible with Wii games and controllers.
New PR Firm and Big Volume for StrikeForce (PINK:SFOR): Reports PennyPayDay.com
"StrikeForce has reached an inflection point in its growth," said Mark Kay, StrikeForce's CEO. "The escalation of major data security breaches and thefts, as witnessed in the RSA, Epsilon, Sony, Gmail, and other recent attacks, demonstrates that the security protocols individuals, corporations and governments use must advance immediately. Our products deliver the multi-factor authentication and data encryption required to combat the sophisticated attacks that have suddenly become prevalent in the cyber war. We expect that ICN's capabilities in television, print and online will enable us to deliver our message and our methods to enterprises, consumers and the investing public."
Hugh Austin, ICN's President, comments saying: "Only StrikeForce's products directly address the root causes behind the vast majority of these new attacks -- keylogging malware that steals passwords and login IDs. Forensic analysis of security breaches, including Lockheed, Epsilon, and RSA, show that these new hacking techniques will change the security software industry's protection paradigm. We look forward to helping StrikeForce make GuardedID®, its patent-pending, anti-keylogging, keystroke encryption product, and ProtectID®, its patented, two-factor and 'Out-of-Band' authentication software, the new defacto standards for online and network protection protocols."
StrikeForce Technologies helps to prevent online identify theft and data security breaches for consumers, corporations, and government agencies. It provides powerful two-factor, 'Out-of-Band' authentication and keystroke encryption solutions.

Apple Takes Bite Out of Cloud
Jobs, who has been on medical leave for months and last took the stage in March to present the iPad 2, will unveil the iCloud, a Web-based service that lets consumers stream music they bought to any Apple device, pitting it against rivals Google Inc and Amazon.com Inc.
That expansion into cloud computing is seen as crucial if the company is to stay competitive with increasingly popular open-sourced software, such as Google's Android operating system, according to analysts and investors.
The iCloud has the potential to make Apple's iTunes even more powerful, making it tougher for rivals to keep up, Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu said.
"It looks like Apple will likely offer some base service for free," Wu said. "Competitors, including RIM, Google, Amazon and Microsoft already have a hard time competing with iTunes as it is, but we believe will likely find it even tougher with iCloud enhancements."
The Moscone center in San Francisco -- ground zero in the launch of several iconic Apple gadgets such as the iPad -- was a hive of activity this week as workers put the finishing touches on banners featuring a giant Apple logo.
Apple has been busy wrapping up negotiations with major record labels to secure licenses for its iCloud service, which is also expected to include a revamped version of its little-known MobileMe storage service.
The licenses will help Apple introduce scan-and-match technology that scans a user's hard drive and provides access to music found there from the company's own servers.
Currently, Google and Amazon require users to upload their library of songs.

Commenting on the results, Zvika Alon, RADA's Chief Executive Officer said, "We are pleased with our first quarter 2011 results, which put us on track with our strategic plan for the year.

Despite the weakened US dollar versus the Israeli Shekel this past quarter, we succeeded to mitigate its impact through hedging activities, which helped us reduce our financial expenses this quarter."
