The current President of the U.S. Obama held an online session at Facebook streaming a love Questions & Answers with Mark Zuckerberg, yesterday. This Facebook session took Obama a step ahead into his next campaign further the next upcoming elections of 2012. Obama is expected to gather a very large audience in his support by means of the Internet, a very precise young audience of potential voters. Even last time, the internet and social media network was his most major tool which took him a long way in 2008, and is most likely applying the same tools as he reruns as the presidential candidate once again in 2012.
This progress resulted right after his budget speech, which was held last week, promising to impose higher taxes on the richer community, along with protecting the social programs. Many analysts observed that the Facebook sessions that was very similar to the ones in his previous campaign that Obama ran during the 2008 elections. They also went on predicting that this same strategy is relatively less likely to work this time. They claim that considering that he had a chance to spend time in the White House, and clearly let down plenty people for not keeping up to the earlier big promises he made during last campaign.

Apple has taken the lead in the highly competitive grounds with Google to launch their cloud based music service. CNET reports that Apple has managed to finally get a major record label company to officially sign an agreement with company, a step on which Google has been stuck since quite a while, tragically delaying the release of its ready product. Warner Music Group has given all the rights to thus upcoming product of Apple, as they can now steam the entire music library of the huge record label company as WMG.
This has definitely fired up the attempts of Google Music, as even though they started the project way before Apple, they have seemingly failed so far in agreeing any music label company to sign an agreement. Considering Apple joined the race afterwards, and successfully gained the agreement with such big record label in a way shorter time, things defiantly seems to be going in favor of Apple. Apparently Google has failed so far, in all their attempts, of sealing a deal with the concerning licensing which forms the major obstacle in the launch of the product. Whereas on the other side, ‘All Things Digitalhas also claimed that Apple is only few steps away from singing a deal with even the other major players of the music business as well.

These mysterious sources also disclosed to their links at the 9to5Mac’s writer that these the iPhone pieces granted to the game app developers, looks “virtually identical” to the previous iPhone 4.
