Writeit

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – April 15, 2015: Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced WRITEit, an innovative new software application that makes the handwriting experience on select pen-enabled devices better. WRITEit transforms pen writing to a truly useful and practical solution for entering input: It allows users to write nearly anywhere they can type. It works across select Lenovo Windows® 8 devices with digitizer, active pen or AnyPen technology and provides real-time feedback and correction. All these advantages encourage more opportunities for users to write with a pen rather than type on a keyboard, giving them a continuous, faster and more accurate experience.Freedom to Write Nearly AnywhereUnlike the handwriting experience on many devices today, WRITEit lets users write their input directly into virtually any text field that accepts typed input, even if the field is in an app without native pen support. This capability takes handwriting from a limited, app-specific novelty to a truly viable means of input. WRITEit opens up a world of new writing possibilities beyond typical note-taking and drawing apps. For example, users can write search terms directly in a browser to quickly search the web instead of using the on-screen keyboard. WRITEit also works well for emails, social media, online forms and more.WRITEit RightWRITEit works in the background as users are writing and converts handwriting to text characters in real time. Speedy writers will love the automatic suggestion tool that offers alternatives to unrecognized words, helping to catch typos and getting text right the first time. A collection of gesture commands also makes editing easy.Quote“While touch technology has fundamentally changed the way consumers use their PCs and other devices today, handwriting technology has lagged behind, until now with WRITEit,” said Mark Cohen, vicepresident, Ecosystem and Monetization Business Group, Lenovo. “Users told us they wanted a more natural, intuitive and accurate handwriting experience, and that’s exactly what WRITEit delivers.”Availability1WRITEit is available for the following pen-enabled devices: ThinkPad® YOGA™, ThinkPad Helix, ThinkPad 10 and YOGA Tablet 2 8-in with Windows featuring AnyPen™ technology. Users of these models can download WRITEit for free starting April 15 here: Lenovo will be bringing WRITEit to future products later this year.1All offers subject to availability.

Issue the following command: echo "accessKeyId:secretAccessKey" >> /etc/passwd-s3fs chmod 640 /etc/passwd-s3fs /usr/local/bin/s3fs ams-test-s3fs -o use_cache=/tmp -o allow_other,uid=500,gid=500 /mnt/s3fs Theamsuser:amsgroup can now read and write content to the S3 bucket “ams-test-s3fs”. Note: The “allow_other” option allows Adobe MediaServer to read directly from the s3fs mounted device. If you don’tspecify “allow_other”, Adobe Media Server cannot access files fromthe s3fs mount. Also, you must specify the full path to s3fs. Use a shell script to manage content when you launchan instance Note: Using a shell script is optional. You cancopy and manage content manually if you choose. When youlaunch an instance, there is a User Data text box on the Advanced InstanceOptions screen. Scripts in the User Data text box that start with #! are runat runlevel 5 when an instance launches. The User Data text mustbe less than 16KB. To run a longer script, write it in an externalfile and trigger it from the User Data script. The last line ofthe User Data script in this example triggers an additional script. Complete steps 1-4 in the previous task. Enter the following script into the “User Data” text boxwhen you launch an instance from the AWS Management Console. Whenthe instance loads, it mounts the S3 bucket “ams_scripts” and executesthe script “setup.sh”. #! /bin/sh echo "accessKeyId:secretAccessKey" >> /etc/passwd-s3fs chmod 640 /etc/passwd-s3fs mkdir /mnt/bucket /usr/local/bin/s3fs ams_scripts -o use_cache=/tmp -o allow_other,uid=500,gid=500 /mnt/bucket /mnt/bucket/setup.sh Use the full path to s3fs. Theoption -o use_cache=/tmp is an s3fs feature thatcaches S3 content on the instance. When you specify this option,s3fs can use local content instead of pulling it from S3 each timethe content is requested. The /mnt/bucket/setup.sh scriptis a file on S3 that runs additional configuration steps. For example,the script could modify Adobe Media Server to look for streams inthe /mnt/bucket directory. The script is not provided; you must writeit. For additional information about User Data scripts, see Eric Hammond’s article Automate EC2 Instance Setup with user-data Scripts. Note: According to the Amazonweb site: Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides blocklevel storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances. AmazonEBS volumes are off-instance storage that persists independentlyfrom the life
