Closed Beta Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm on track

 

Blizzard announced that the expansion pack Heart of the Swarm for Starcraft II beta is now closed. The developer said that the first round of lucky players includes professionals, media members, fans and competition winners but there are plans to open the multiplayer component for more players soon.
It is recommended that players interested in participating can click the "Beta Profile Settings' within section Battle.net account management. Obviously, follow these steps does not guarantee that you will receive access to the closed beta but your chances increase to actively play StarCraft II using the same account.

Blizzard said they are also working with several fan pages and community personalities to offer additional opportunities in the beta. Participants suspect that the pages will be listed on the fan page for StarCraft II with the idea that they are well known. The company did not say exactly how many invitations are for the beta, but mentioned that players will be added as necessary to perform their respective tests.
The company traditionally sees several factors when choosing their beta players including system specifications and if these actively playing the game in question. Participation in this beta is open for both Windows and Mac users simultaneously in all regions although the language support is limited to English, German, French, and Korean.
Finally, the selected participants have to 'sign' a confidentiality agreement so I most likely will not see much of the content of the online beta.

Rumor: Apple is negotiating licenses to create Pandora style service

 

Apple is preparing an online radio service like Pandora, according to sources close to the company who spoke to the Wall Street Journal . This supposedly music service will work with all Apple hardware and perhaps even Windows computers, which has led some to speculate that it will be integrated into iTunes instead of being a standalone application.
As expected, the sources believe that the service will not be available on devices with the Google Android operating system.
Enter the market for streaming seems a logical step for Apple though unlike what they did a decade ago with the iPod, not forging a new path. Actually are following well-established services like Pandora and Spotify - even though this market is very difficult. Pandora, for example, has yet to report profits despite significant growth in revenue mainly due to the high cost of the royalties generated by the transmission of music.
The sources also said that Apple is negotiating licenses that would give users the option to play any song as often as you want, which is a common complaint in Pandora. Cupertino apparently also is negotiating their own prices rather than simply accept the rates set so far by the federal government.
Negotiations are still in their early stages so the most likely will not hear anything about the event next week where they will be iPhone 5.
