| Genius hid a Morse code message in song lyrics to prove Google was copying them - BGR Posted: 17 Jun 2019 03:50 AM PDT  Did you ever notice how you tend to google the lyrics of a song and then you're not going to Genius's website because Google is displaying them on the Search results all along? Well, Genius alleges that Google has been copying its lyrics for years and posting them directly on Google Search, thus preventing visitors from going to its own site. And Genius says it hid a Morse code message within the lyrics to prove Google was doing it. Genius first suspected Google of ill-doing in 2016 when a software engineer discovered that Desiigner's Panda song lyrics on Google matched the ones on Genius. The song has hard-to-understand lyrics The Wall Street Journal reports, but Genius had the error-free version of the lyrics straight from the artist. "We noticed that Google's lyrics matched our lyrics down to the character," Genius's chief strategy officer Ben Gross told The Journal. Genius notified Google in 2017, and then in April of this year that copied transcriptions appeared on Google Search. "Over the last two years, we've shown Google irrefutable evidence again and again that they are displaying lyrics copied from Genius," Gross said. What the company did to catch Google was to watermark lyrics with the help of apostrophes. By alternating between straight and curly single-quote marks in exactly the same sequence for every song. When turned into dots and dashes, the apostrophes spell the words Red Handed, which is a smart trick. However, Google claims that the lyrics found inside those "information panels" on its site are licensed from partners not created by Google. "We take data quality and creator rights very seriously and hold our licensing partners accountable to the terms of our agreement," Google told The Journal. Moreover, Google issued a second statement to say it's investigating the issues and would terminate its agreements with partners who aren't "upholding good practices." The report notes that Google partnered with LyricFind in 2016, but the company's chief executive Darryl Ballantyne told The Journal that it doesn't source its lyrics from Genius, relying on its own content team for the lyrics.

| Posted: 17 Jun 2019 06:13 AM PDT Apple plans to release three new iPhones in the second half of 2020, including high-end 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch models with OLED displays and a lower-end 6.1-inch model with an OLED display, according to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Those display sizes line up with a DigiTimes report from a few months ago.
Excerpts from Kuo's research for TF International Securities: We expect that the new 2H20 iPhone lines will include the high-end 6.7-inch and 5.4-inch OLED iPhone models and the low-end 6.1-inch OLED iPhone. The 6.7-inch and 5.4-inch OLED iPhone models will likely support 5G. We expect that the PA usage of each 5G iPhone will be 200% more than the current number for iPhone models. Sole suppliers, including Broadcom (designer) and Win-semi (manufacturer), are the significant winners in this case. […]  Kuo believes that all new iPhones will support 5G starting in 2021. He also believes that Apple will have its own 5G modem ready by 2022 to 2023, which should reduce its dependance on Qualcomm and Samsung. The new 5.4-inch and 6.7-inch sizes suggest that Apple may be planning to shrink the size of the current 5.8-inch iPhone XS, a move that fans of smaller phones would certainly appreciate, while increasing the size of the current 6.5-inch iPhone XS Max. The iPhone XR would remain a 6.1-inch device. |
| Instagram tests easier ways to recover hacked accounts - Engadget Posted: 16 Jun 2019 09:56 PM PDT Sponsored Links Instagram might offer a little more reassurance if your account is ever hijacked. The social network is testing a new in-app account recovery process that should make it easier to recover an account -- and make it harder for thieves to get away with the act in the first place. Where you presently have to either wait for email or fill out a support form, the updated approach uses the app to ask for different types of info (such as your original email address or phone number). You'll then get a six-digit code sent to the contact info of your choice, and Instagram will then prevent hackers from using email or phone number codes to take over your account from a different device. This new method would ensure that you could recover your account even if an intruder has changed the user name and contact data. To that end, Instagram is offering a safeguard that ensures a user name can't be claimed for a "period of time" after account changes, whether it's a hack or a voluntary change. It's not certain when the in-app recovery will be widely available, although the user name lockdown is available to all Android users now and deploying to iOS users. However, the goal of the new recovery process is clear -- Instagram is hoping that you can eventually recover an account entirely within the app, rather than leaning on the security team. The timing could be vital. Instagram account security has been a sore point as of late with word of exposed passwords and growing intrusion attempts. This won't prevent account hijacks, but it could discourage perpetrators hoping to take advantage of vulnerabilities in the current recovery approach. |
