One of the biggest challenges facing Brian McAndrews, the new CEO of Pandora, will be renegotiating the royalty rates the Internet radio giant pays to the music industry. If Pandora doesn't prevail, the outcome could hamper its ability to compete with rivals such as Apple's iTunes Radio, which launches next week. For each song Pandora streams to listeners, it pays a fraction of a penny to recording labels. The companies begin negotiations before the federal Copyright Royalty Board in January and both sides are already digging their heels in. As in past disputes, the haggling could drag on for years while the government plays referee. In the end, users might have to listen to more ads between songs or pay more in subscription fees to avoid them. McAndrews, 54, was…

Still excited about the news of the iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s? Guess what? There is much more to come. That's right. New iPhones aren't the only exciting releases on Apple's horizon. Rumors galore are running rampant regarding what's next, with all this talk pointing to yet another big announcement in October, just a month away. There were things promised at the Apple Keynote back in June, such as Maverick and the Mac Pro, and we still haven't seen those yet. October will mark a year since the -fourth generation iPad and iPad Mini were introduced. Isn't it time for these items to be updated? Apple TV is showing up in the news as well, and what about the Apple television set and the iWatch? Could we be seeing those…

The battle between consumer electronic giants has moved to the courts as the smartphone market is set to total $350 billion this year. Under these circumstances, ousting a rival from a major market, such as the US, or forcing it to waste time on changing its product in response to a court ruling, can be a lethal blow. In July, a US court dismissed Apple Inc.’s (Nasdaq: APPL) patent infringement case against Google Inc. (Nasdaq: GOOG) unit Motorola Mobility. The patents (7,663,607 and 7,812828) cover touch screens. Apple asked the US International Trade Commission to ban Motorola from selling Android smartphones, which infringed on Apple patents, in the US. The court ruled that the patent 7,663,607 was invalid for Apple. A similar patent for identifying and following multi-touch on a…

Google says it has launched a new health company, called Calico, that will focus on aging and related diseases. The Internet search giant said Wednesday that the company will be headed by Arthur Levinson, the current chairman and former CEO of biotechnology company Genentech and the chairman of Apple Inc. He will stay in his current positions. Google Inc. CEO Larry Page says on his Google Plus page that shareholders shouldn't be surprised if Google invests in projects that seem “strange or speculative” compared with its Internet businesses. He says Google sees potential for technology “more generally to improve people's lives.” Google is not giving much detail on Calico. The company says the venture is still in its early days.…

When Apple introduced the iPhone 5s from Cupertino, Calif., the tech giant beamed the event via satellite to some of the biggest cities in the world, from Tokyo to Beijing. Yes, three presentations were held to launch the iPhone 5s: One in California, one in China and one in Japan on September 10. That said, this wasn't the first time pertinent global parties were privy to Apple's information on or around the same time America was learning about new and exciting products from the progressive tech giant. For example, when the October 2011 launch of the iPhone 4s unfolded, live streaming was available at London's Covent Garden Apple Store. The Brits who had gathered in this gadget-driven place of business gleaned the exciting information at the same time this long…

SHOULD IT BE REVERED OR FEARED? When Apple unveiled the iPhone 5s in Cupertino on September 10, there was plenty to talk about. Was the new handset a worthwhile upgrade on the iPhone 5? Was its specification sheet - incorporating the likes of an “all-new” 8 megapixel iSight camera and 64-bit A7 chip - sufficiently impressive to allay shareholder concerns about a lack of product innovation? Whatever happened to the Apple TV or iWatch that we were hearing so much about lately? That day, though, much of the world's media focused its attention on one particular new feature: Touch ID, the iPhone fingerprint sensor. The announcement of this feature wasn't a massive shock - in fact, there were loads of chatter on the usual online blogs and rumor pages about…

The iPhone 5C marks a departure from Apple Inc's focus on purely premium phones, but not as much as some expected. It has proved pricier than expected and is, in fact, a trimmed-down version of the iPhone 5 launched a year back. To add to the heartburn among Indian customers, there is no mention as to when it will be made available here Come September and gadget lovers (die-hard Apple fans in particular) from around the world wait to hear on what's new from the Apple headquarters in Cupertino, about 45 miles south of San Francisco. Last Tuesday, Apple launched two new iPhones: the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5C. Apple fans in the country are, however, a disenchanted lot; they rue the non-availability of the company's latest gizmos here.…
