‘No DRM and Variable prices on iTunes Music’ says Apple…Will it work ?

Apple Mac WorldNo drm and variable prices on iTunes music, that's what Apple had said in one of their press releases. Find the complete details below. Apple has finally made an agreement with all the prominent music labels regarding the DRM issues.From now onwards,all of the four major music labels-EMI,Sony Music Entertainment,UMG and Warner Music Group will start selling music through iTunes without D.R.M. software which used to constraint digital files from getting copied(EMI was doing it already). Dumping D.R.M. was Apple's long time wish but three of the four biggest music labels were in constant disagreement on compromising upon anti-copying restrictions.But this January,at Macworld 09,this agreement went official.This DRM exclusion will surely bring more sales to iTunes as customers can now copy the music downloaded from iTunes with no hesitation. But the compromise isn't one-sided at all. Apple has also compromised on its part,agreeing to variable prices for various songs,as against its standard '99 cents per song' methodology for selling any music(old or latest).April onwards,the majority of songs(older tracks) will be sold at 69 cents while the most popular and newest songs will come

Twitter under Attack : Phishing,Celebrity hacks…What Next ???

twitter-hackedCelebrity twitter accounts got hacked yesterday and the support tools had to be taken offline.

Past week,twitter was having a bad time,dealing with phishing attacks and following up with it was yesterday's celebrity account hacks(Barack Obama,Bill O Reilly,Britney spears and 30 more such accounts).

Although,the hacks came to a halt after Twitter took the support tools offline,the hackers behind it had done what they wanted to...breaching twitter's security to the best possible level.

Although many followers might have enjoyed/amused the tweets that were bubbling out from the hacked celebrity accounts,such an act has revealed the vulnerability of Twitter to a great extent.

A phishing attack(which Twitter earlier had) was more of an external attack for Twitter but such a fatal 'serial hacking' reveals more about the technical loopholes of this micro-blogging platform and might give celebrities a reason,not to opt for it as a mode of connecting with their fans/followers.

So,the next question is....What Next ?
