Apple's iRadio Plans Warm Up (Financial Times)
Apple is looking more likely to launch its long-awaited music streaming service at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which begins on June 10, after agreeing to terms with Warner Music's recorded music and music publishing divisions for the service known as "iRadio." Warner, the third-largest global music company, became the first music publisher to agree to a deal for iRadio, people close to the negotiations said, after Apple agreed to pay its songwriters 10 percent of advertising revenue, more than double the 4 percent rate it earns from Pandora, the U.S.-based internet radio service with more than 70 million "active listeners." Mashable The news comes one month after the company reached another deal with Universal Music. Talks are still underway with Sony, according to the report. The New York Times Apple's Internet radio feature is expected to be free and supported by advertising, and would represent a relatively late arrival by the company into what has become a fast-growing - if low-margin - sector of the music business. Apple is said to be negotiating directly with the music groups because it wants more extensive licensing terms. Billboard Earlier this year, Apple had sought a far lower royalty rate of 0.08 cents per stream, but with a chance to get a larger cut of the advertising revenue Apple would generate from the radio service. Record companies rejected the initial offer, saying Apple's terms would have put the labels in an awkward position of having to explain to Congress why that was acceptable for Apple, but not for other internet radio services.
LinkedIn Rolls Out Two-Factor Authentication (SocialTimes)
LinkedIn Friday introduced support for two-factor authentication for users who choose to enable the security feature. The rollout follows a similar move by Twitter. VentureBeat Two-factor authentication is a more secure means of proving your identity to a company's server than the traditional username and password combination. In most cases, two-factor authentication requires the input of a temporary code, which is provided to you either through an app like Google Authenticator, an SMS message or through a dongle, such as RSA's tokens. LinkedIn will provide these codes through SMS messages. GigaOM But two-factor authentication, which essentially asks you to confirm your identity with a second code from a device like a smartphone when you go to enter your password, is just a start. Many people have written why two-factor authentication won't solve all your security needs - it's certainly not a foolproof way to prevent attacks as the sophistication of hackers evolves to target specific individuals in an organization.
