Auto-Tune

Auto-Tune is an audio processor created by Antares Audio Technologies which uses a proprietary device to measure and alter pitch in vocal and instrumental music recording and performances. It was originally intended to disguise or correct off-key inaccuracies, allowing vocal tracks to be perfectly tuned despite originally being slightly off-key.

The processor slightly shifts pitches to the nearest true semitone (to the exact pitch of the nearest tone in traditional equal temperament). Auto-Tune can also be used as an effect to distort the human voice when pitch is raised or lowered significantly, such that the voice is heard to leap from note to note stepwise, like a synthesizer.

Auto-Tune is available as a plug-in for professional audio multi-tracking suites used in a studio setting and as a stand-alone, rack-mounted unit for live performance processing. Auto-Tune has become standard equipment in professional recording studios. Instruments like the Peavey AT-200 guitar are seamlessly using the Auto Tune technology for real time pitch correction.

However, the domain Uniregistry.com was registered six years earlier and the company filed an intent to use the name in the Cayman Islands in 2010. Trademark applications for the "Uniregistry" mark and its stylized "U" logo were filed in 2012. That year, Schilling invested $60 million and applied for 54 new top-level domains. Uniregistrar Corporation became an ICANN-accredited registrar in February 2013. In January 2014, Uniregistry Inc. became a subsidiary in Newport Beach, California to house a West Coast service and support team. The registrar began operating under the licensed Uniregistry brand name in 2014. Uniregistry's registry infrastructure was designed by Internet Systems Consortium (ISC) and Uniregistry subsequently purchased its infrastructure in 2013.

Oram Po

Oram Po (Tamil: ஓரம் போ; English: Move Aside), previously titled Auto, is a Tamil comedy film starring Arya and Pooja. The film, directed by the debutant husband-wife duo, Pushkar-Gayatri, was produced by V. Palanivel and A.C. Anandan for A.P. Film Garden. G. V. Prakash Kumar was the music director.

The film, revolving around auto rickshaw racing, was released after almost a year of production. Later in 2011 was dubbed in Telugu as Nenu Autovani.

Plot

Chandru (Arya) and Bigilu (Lal) are close friends. Chandru is an expert auto driver & racer while Bigilu is a mechanic expert at customizing autos to run at the dream speed of 130 km/h. Son of Gun (John Vijay) is the chief of a rival group who wants to outsmart the duo. Chandru, the race champ tries to settle the dues for his auto through a race, which is almost a cakewalk for him. He and Bigilu challenge Son of Gun to a race, and a date is fixed.

Bigilu, meanwhile, introduces Chandru to his sister who runs a Biriyani shop. Chandru is attracted to her daughter (Pooja), and woos her. The affair grows stronger and the two end up having sex. The care-free auto driver, however, is not interested in long-term commitment and tells the girl so. Shocked, Pooja curses him and moves away. On the D-day, Chandru is distracted by the memories of his love affair and loses the race. He loses his auto and, later, Bigilu, who comes to know about the affair. The sub-plot of a smuggler's search for missing pearls adds flavour to the proceedings. The unpredictable and fun filled climax puts everything in order.

Tune (stylized as TUNE) is a mobile platform company based in Seattle, Washington. It was previously named HasOffers, changing its name in 2014. The company produces two lines of SaaS: Tune Marketing Console and HasOffers.

Company History

The company was initially founded as HasOffers in 2009 by twin brothers Lucas and Lee Brown. The twins bootstrapped the company, using their own finances to found the firm. The company’s CEO is Peter Hamilton, who was promoted to the position in 2012. By 2011 the company was measuring $300 million in partner payouts. In 2013 it received $9.4 million in funding from Accel. Then, in 2014 it changed its name to Tune, the name coming from the idea of helping customers better “tune” their marketing campaigns.

In 2015 the company received $27 million in series B funding, from Icon Ventures. The company is headquartered in Seattle, and has offices in San Francisco, New York City, London, Dallas, Tel Aviv, Seoul, and Berlin. In February 2014, HasOffers and Mobile App Tracking were removed as a Facebook Mobile Measurement Partner for violating Facebook's device-level sharing policy. In 2015, Tune acquired Artisan Mobile, a Philadelphia-based start-up that app developers use to track their projects.
