tay Tay surprised even her management with her Apple Music letter

Apple-Music-iOS-9

 

Remember when Apple Music was about to launch and taylor Swift was  like “uh uh biat*h, no you don’t with your non-payment of artists during the 3 month free trial”?

 

And then Apple was like, “oh, wait, no we’re totally gonna pay everyone during that 3 month free trial period, Sorry Taylor Swift”?

 

Yeah. That was pretty cool. New information leads us to believe it’s even cooler. Her main-man record label exec, Scott Borchetta, who signed her when she was just 14, recently spoke of the incident. He was apparently in the middle of talks with Apple concerning the payment/non-payment issue and wasn’t really making the progress that he would have liked.

 

Taylor herself hadn’t been a part of the negotiations, until she was. And Scott himself wasn’t aware of Taylor’s open letter until after it was published. She didn’t clear it with any one at the record label – but instead sent Scott a text saying ” Don’t be mad!’

 

And the rest is Apple Music history. Way to be a baller, Swifty.

Siri, meet Ms MoneyPenny

smiley

 

Siri, Google Now, Echo, Cortana,  now… Moneypenny? Who knew that one of the most competitive markets in the 20teens ould be virtual personal assistants! We do seem to like our Robot friends that aren’t quite terminator scary physical thinking robots, as long as they’re safe in our device’s and doing our bidding it’s all cool, right? Right, HAL?

 

But seriously, these virtual friends are the best! And now we have a new one to tell us the score from the game or how to say hello in German. Welcome to the Robot fraternity Moneypenny!

 

Not quite yet, though. Money will be Facebook’s version and will be present on the page and on it’s Facebook messenger app. It seems that Moneypenny however will be less a personal assistant and more like a Concierge, providing a unique( kinda) service, allowing Facebook users to ask real people for help to research and purchase products and services.

 

There are hints that Moneypenny could fulfill other requests, but that possibility and the launch date are unknown at this time.

 

Sadly, it also appears as though Moneypenny is at this stage just a codename.
