Google acquires RightsFlow to manage music licensing



Google has been on an improvement spree, since quite some time now. It has been frequentlytweaking its products. Now, a post on the YouTube blog disclosed that Google has bought RightsFlow, a start-up based in New York to manage its music licensing. This would further boost YouTube’s productivity. RightsFlow helps manage music rights of songwriters, recording artists, record labels, distributors and online music services.

RightsFlow works at solving the complex issues of licensing and royalty payment management. The blog also said that smart copyright management is essential for online video service as it helps songwriters and performers to be compensated appropriately and also allows using those works in newer ways. RightsFlow acquisition will now bring a team onboard that will manage all the licensing issues for YouTube.

This could possibly mean more music from YouTube is on the way.

Lenovo IdeaPad U310 Review

A surefire sign that Ultrabooks are growing up is that prices are coming down. The latest example: the Lenovo IdeaPad U310, a $799 sequel to the U300s. This notebook features a faster Core i5 processor and pairs 32GB of flash memory with a 500GB hard drive to offer both fast resumes and gobs of storage. Lenovo also remembered to include an SD Card slot this time around (huzzah!) on the stylin' aluminum chassis. So just how much Ultrabook do you get for the money?

Toshiba 47L7200U review

The L7200U Cinema Series is Toshiba’s top-of-the-line flagship for 2012. The 47-inch model is a 3D, Smart, edgelit-LED HDTV that does a lot for an MSRP of $1,899. Compare that to Samsung’s 46-inch ES8000 , which is over $1000 more expensive. The 47L7200U is a sleek, attractive TV. It has a few interesting new functions, what Toshiba calls TriVector™ 2D to 3D Conversion, Dual-Core Cinema Quality Engine™, and a side-mounted IR flasher for linking infrared devices, such as a Comcast cable box, to the TV’s MediaGuide function. That’s a lot of branded technology.
