JURASSIC WORLD ON VERGE OF HUGELY-ANTICIPATED RELEASE

Internet security has long been one of those things that we all know is important, but don't necessarily know how to approach - certainly as far as catering for our own needs in this often-tricky area is concerned. Some people merely depend on a free antivirus solution and whatever default protection their given software or device might provide, while others fork out a lot of money every year for a fully-featured Internet security suite.

As you might expect, Symantec is one of those companies that reckon you should reach into your pocket a bit more for the utmost peace of mind. So, is it worth handing over $69.99 of your hard-earned for one year of the company's range-topping family protection suite, Norton Security with Backup - or $139.98 if you sign up for two years?

It certainly promises much for such a relatively high price point, not least protection for as many as 10 of your and other family members' devices - not just desktop PCs and laptops but also any iOS, Mac and/or Android devices that you might happen to have. There's no hassle to installing the protection for all of these different gadgets - after the initial signup that involves creating an account via a short online form, entering your license key and installing, for every subsequent installation, you just need to log into your online Symantec account and download the relevant installer for the given device.

AN IMPRESSIVE RANGE OF FEATURES

The name 'Norton Security' may make it sound like quite a generic product, but it's actually an extremely fully-featured one in keeping with its premium price tag. The program was only released late last year, consolidating nine previous separate products - including Norton 360, Norton Internet Security and Norton Antivirus - into one complete solution. That means that if you really do 'want it all', you won't be scratching your head any longer figuring out which Symantec offering to get.

Norton Security is also available for one device, at $44.99 for the first year, and as a Deluxe version for five devices, priced at $49.99. But in this review, we're considering the all-singing, all-dancing Premium version for 10 devices. This offers such exclusive perks as the backup of your PC files in the cloud to better protect against ransomware, the secure online storage of up to 25 GB of your Windows PC's photos, movies, school projects and financial documents and the ability to add even more secure storage if and when you require.

The Premium version of the software also helps your kids to browse the Internet more safely, even teaching them good habits to minimize the risk of oversharing. All of this is in addition to such features shared with the software's 'lesser' variants as comprehensive protection against viruses, spyware, malware and other Internet nasties, unlimited phone or live chat access to a Norton technician

and protection for your identity and online transactions. These aspects all help to give it the edge over a simple antivirus program.

A REFRESHED APPEARANCE AND EXPERIENCE

The emphasis on convenience, speed and ease of use continues once you have downloaded the software - as we did, for the purposes of this review, on a Windows laptop, although the experience on other devices is much the same. On firing up the software, you are greeted with five large panels, labeled Security, Identity, Backup, Performance and More Norton. When you click one of these, the entire row of panels drops down, revealing buttons that you can use to perform various tasks.

If you want to run a scan, for instance, it's the Security tab that you need. What if you need to check your ID protection settings? Then you'll just need to head to the Identity section. The Backup part is fairly self-explanatory, with its ability to run backups and restore files, while Performance gives you disk optimization and file cleanup options. The final More Norton panel is where you can add devices and access the Norton Family feature. It's also here where you can be directed to the free iOS and Android apps for Norton Identity Safe Mobile, which securely stores your passwords 'on the go'.

You can bury deeper down into Norton Security's full functionality via the Settings page, where there are tick boxes for 'Quick

12

Controls' like Silent Mode, Safe Surfing, Identity Safe, Backup, Automatic LiveUpdate and Smart Firewall, to name just a few. This is also the place to fiddle around with more detailed settings relating to the antivirus, firewall, AntiSpam and other parts of the software. However, we wouldn't worry too much about these if you aren't an expert on the more advanced stuff - the default settings are just fine for the majority of users.

Pleasing extras with the software include the Norton Security Toolbar that can be installed in your browser and let you know of the safety status of the site that you are on at any given time, including the number of computer threats, identity threats and 'annoyance factors' - with a link to a full Norton Safe Web report also available. However, if you want to take advantage of the full range of parental control features, you'll unfortunately need to shell out more for a Premier upgrade.

13

THE COMPLETE FAMILY SOLUTION

If you're paying this much for an Internet security suite, it really does need to be excellent - anything less is simply not good enough. Thankfully, Symantec Norton Security with Backup lives up to those lofty expectations. Not only does it effectively protect a wide range of devices and is easy to install on them, but it's also offers a convenient and secure means of managing your online usernames and passwords.

One other great benefit is the 100% guarantee - basically, if Norton isn't able to remove a given virus on one of your devices, either via the software itself or with the help of its remote control mediation experts, it'll refund you the service price. That in itself may be a major motivation to sign up for Norton Security with Backup for 10 devices over the many cheaper solutions that lack such guarantees. Don't forget that Symantec is one of the longest-established and most trusted names in computer software, so you will have few worries about reputability.

All in all, Symantec Norton Security with Backup for 10 devices caters for almost every priority that one could have for a premium Internet security suite - and does so with aplomb.

AFTER HACKING, GOVERNMENT WORKERS WARNED OF POTENTIAL FRAUD

An immense hack of millions of government personnel files is being treated as the work of foreign spies who could use the information to fake their way into more-secure computers and plunder U.S. secrets.

Federal employees were told in a video Friday to change all their passwords, put fraud alerts on their credit reports and watch for attempts by foreign intelligence services to exploit them. That message came from Dan Payne, a senior counterintelligence official for the Director of National Intelligence.

“Some of you may think that you are not of interest because you don’t have access to classified information,” he said. “You are mistaken.”

17

18

Federal officials said Friday the cyberattack appeared to have originated in China, but they didn’t point fingers directly at the Chinese government. The Chinese said any such accusation would be “irresponsible and unscientific.”

“We know that the attack occurred from somewhere in China, but we don’t know whether it was an individual or a group or a nation-state attack,” said Rep. Jim Langevin, a Rhode Island Democrat and leading voice in Congress on cybersecurity. He added, though that it had “all the hallmarks of a nation-state attack.”

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said he couldn’t divulge much while the case was under investigation. Still, he noted that investigators “are aware of the threat that is emanating from China.”

One U.S. official said the breach of data involving more than 4 million past and present federal workers was being investigated as a national security matter. That suggests authorities believe a nation was behind it rather than a more loosely organized gang of cybercriminals. The official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

The breach was an embarrassing showing for the U.S. government’s vaunted computer-defense system for civilian agencies - dubbed “Einstein” - which is costing $376 million this year alone. It’s supposed to detect unusual Internet traffic that might reflect hacking attempts or stolen data being transmitted outside the government.

A wide range of information is prized by spies - classified military secrets but also economic strategy and internal foreign policy debates.

This latest breach occurred in December but wasn’t discovered until April, officials say. It was made public Thursday.

“The scale of it is just staggering,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee. There’s no telling how many more attacks could be spawned by the information stolen in this case, he said.

Although most Americans think of identity thieves stealing from credit card or bank accounts, the information about civilian federal workers has other value for spies.

“They’re able to identify people who are in positions with access to significant national security information and can use personal data to target those individuals,” said Payne, the counterintelligence official.

He said details from personnel files could be used to craft personalized phony messages to trick workers. Federal employees who think they’re opening an email from co-workers or family members might infect their computers with a program that would steal more information or install spy software.

Spies also could use details about an employee’s interests or background to befriend them and try to manipulate them into revealing secrets.

Kevin Mitnick, a former hacker who now runs Mitnick Security Consulting of Las Vegas, called confidential details about federal employees “a gold mine.”

“What’s the weakest link in security?” Mitnick said. “The human. Now you know all about your target.”

The hackers may have made off with even more information about workers who undergo security clearance background checks. That information includes the names of family, neighbors, even old bosses and teachers, as well as reports on vices, arrests and foreign contacts.

22

However, OPM spokesman Samuel Schumach said there was no evidence to suggest that security clearance information collected by OPM was compromised. It’s stored separately from routine personnel files, he said.

“The kind of data that may have been compromised in this incident could include name, Social Security Number, date and place of birth, job assignments, training files, performance ratings and current and former addresses,” Schumach said in an email.

The breach occurred at a network maintained by the Department of Interior, which also houses the personnel agency’s files. Schumach said agencies share computer systems partly to save money - and it’s also supposed to strengthen security.

Security experts said the hackers may have gone after the personnel agency because it’s an easier target than the Pentagon or National Security Agency.

Private cybersecurity researchers said they believe the personnel agency was targeted by the same hackers who got into the Anthem and Primera health insurance groups last year.

John Hultquist, head of cyberespionage intelligence at iSight, said the Dallas-based security firm had found evidence linking the insurance and government attacks, but declined to say whom they suspect. “We think they are creating a database they can leverage for follow-on espionage,” Hultquist said.

A spokesman for the Director of National Intelligence declined to discuss whether there was evidence against China or whether intelligence agency employees were among those whose information was compromised.

U.S. investigators have improved their ability to attribute cyberattacks in recent years, officials said, and Chinese attacks often have identifiable signatures.

23

24

The Homeland Security Department noted that the Einstein defenses were just one part of the government’s cybersecurity, and said it was used to confirm the breach. But that’s like a smoke alarm sounding after the house burned down.

Einstein also helped understand how the break-in happened and protect against a repeat of a similar attempt.

“It didn’t fare so well,” said James Lewis, a leading cybersecurity expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think-tank. “It’s only a victory if you defeat the opponent, and we didn’t.”

The Worldwide Developers Conference is always extremely eagerly awaited, both by ardent Apple fans and more general observers in consumer technology - and this year’s was no different. Below are some of the reports that emerged over the course of the day that paint a picture of another landmark event in Apple’s formidable history.

9 A.M. PDT (NOON EDT)

Crowds are starting to form outside San Francisco’s Moscone convention center ahead of Apple’s annual gathering for app developers. Apple uses the Worldwide Developers Conference to preview new features for Macs, iPhones and other devices.

Apple is expected to announce a new music-subscription service incorporating a similar service from Beats, which Apple bought last year for $3 billion.

Apple also might announce new tools for Apple Watch. Apple has said software developers will be able to design apps specifically for the watch this year. For now, all third-party watch apps are dependent on a companion iPhone.

The two-hour keynote begins at 10 a.m. PT.

9:25 A.M. PDT (12:25 P.M. EDT)

Apple isn’t the only company to be previewing its plans for this fall.

Nearly two weeks ago, Google held its annual I/O conference for app developers. It’s similar to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in that it gives Google the stage for showcasing upcoming features and products.

Google unveiled a mobile payment system called Android Pay to rival Apple Pay and an upcoming service from Samsung. Google also says its Google Now virtual assistant will get better in bringing information users might want based on context, such as the song they are listening to or the article they are reading.

The next version of the Android operating system doesn’t have a name yet. It’s known for now as M, as Google names systems after desserts in alphabetical order.

9:40 A.M. PDT (12:40 P.M. EDT)

Apple’s penchant for secrecy extends to the agenda for its annual gathering of app developers this week.

The Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco begins with a keynote. Apple isn’t saying anything ahead of time, though it’s widely expected the company will unveil updates to its mobile and Mac operating systems, along with a new music service.

For now, sessions for the rest of the week have mysterious titles such as “Pins and needles,” “Patience is a virtue” and “You’ll be talking about this one.” Another goes by “Hmmmm.” and yet another is “Surprise!” Apple says details will be posted after the keynote.

The conference runs through Friday at the Moscone convention center in San Francisco.

30

10:10 A.M. PDT (1:10 P.M. EDT)

Apple’s conference for software developers is kicking off with CEO Tim Cook declaring the event “the epicenter of change” for both Apple and the industry.

The crowd is cheering as Cook unveils new tools for Apple Watch apps.

The Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco is Apple’s chance to preview software updates for Macs, iPhones, iPads and the Apple Watch. The company is also expected to use the show to unveil a new music-subscription service based on the Beats service it purchased last year.

The show began with a comedic video skit purportedly of the event’s director planning the special effects and other elements. The director was played by actor Bill Hader.

31

32

33

10:25 A.M. PDT (1:25 P.M. EDT)

Apple says this fall’s update to its Mac operating system will be called El Capitan - the name of a landmark in Yosemite National Park.

It follows a recent practice of Apple naming the Mac operating system after geographical locations in California. The 2013 update was called Mavericks, the name of a surfing area in the San Francisco Bay area. Last year’s version was called Yosemite.

Before, Apple named its Mac systems after big cats, including Lion and Tiger, but the company was running out of animals. Apple now makes Mac updates available for free.

Apple says 55 percent of Mac users have upgraded to Yosemite, much better than the adoption for Microsoft’s Windows 8.1

The new Mac system will be more formally known as OS X 10.11, as it’s the 11th update to a system adapted from the NeXT operating system that co-founder Steve Jobs brought to Apple when he returned in 1997 after an exile.

10:40 A.M. PDT (1:25 P.M. EDT)

New updates to Apple’s Mac operating system include the ability to run multiple apps in split-screen mode. It allows people to take advantage of the computer’s full screen. You could have done that before by resizing windows, but that takes more time. The feature has similarities to what Microsoft offers in Windows 8.

Other updates include:

- the ability to pin frequently visited sites on a bar at the top of the Safari browser

- the ability to compose multiple emails in the Mail app through the use of tabs, similar to what Web browsers now have

- improved searching across the entire computer

- tools for faster graphical performance

34

The new system is called El Capitan, a landmark within Yosemite National Park. Last year’s update was called Yosemite, so the use of El Capitan is an indication that the upcoming version is largely a refinement of Yosemite.

10:45 A.M. PDT (1:45 P.M. EDT)

Apple promises that Siri will be an even better virtual assistant. Siri will try to be more proactive - akin to what Google already does with Google Now and has plans to do with the upcoming Now on Tap feature.

For instance, when a call from an unfamiliar number comes in, Siri will look through your email and give you an indication of who that might be. Siri will also give you reminders to leave for meetings, factoring in current traffic.

Siri can also handle more complex requests, such as ones to show you all photos from a particular place and time.

The responses are context and device sensitive - so what Siri gives you to listen when you’re out for a run might be different from when you enter a car.

It’s all part of the iOS 9 upcoming expected to come in September.

Apple says it will protect users’ privacy.

11 A.M. PDT (2 P.M. EDT)

Apple says it’s expanding its Apple Pay mobile-payment service next month to the United Kingdom, the service’s second market after the U.S.

In the U.S., Apple says 1 million retail locations will accept contactless-payment services such as Apple Pay by next month. The locations will include chains such as Trader Joe’s and JC Penney.

35

36

It’s still just a fraction of all retail outlets, but it’s up from 700,000 in March and 200,000 when the service launched in October. Apple is working with payment service Square to get even more merchants to accept such payments starting this fall.

In the U.K., Apple says there will be 250,000 merchant locations.

With this fall’s upgrade to the iOS mobile operating system, Apple Pay will let people add store credit cards, such as loyalty and gift cards from Dunkin’ Donuts.

Apple Pay injected new life into mobile payments. Although it was long possible to make payments at retail stores with the tap of an Android phone, it wasn’t easy to use. Apple changed that by bringing several banks and retailers on board from the start.

Google also has new hopes for mobile payment with last month’s announcement of Android Pay, while Samsung plans a mobile-payment offering this year, staring in the U.S. and Korea.

11:10 A.M. PDT (2:10 P.M. EDT)

Apple is finally bringing public transit support to Apple Maps.

It was one of the biggest gaps when Apple replaced Google Maps as the default mapping app on iPhones and iPads in 2012.

Tapping on a station will show you all the lines that run through it, along with upcoming departure times. You can also get step-by-step directions that include the walk to the station.

The transit feature will be available in select cities around the world initially.

It’s part of iOS 9 expected in September.

37

38

39

11:15 A.M. PDT (2:15 P.M. EDT)

Apple will offer a new app for news, with a personalized feed based on your interests and choices.

The app pulls text, photos and video from a variety of sources.

Stories that use Apple’s new News format will look best on the app.

Features include the ability to save articles to read later and to get suggestions on new publishers and topics by selecting “explore.”

It’s not immediately clear how Apple will handle news sources that require subscriptions. Apple says it has worked with leading organizations such as The New York Times and ESPN to bring stories to the app.

The app will initially be offered in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia. It was unveiled Monday at the technology giant’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.

11:35 A.M. PDT (2:35 P.M. EDT)

The iPad tablet will look and act more like a Mac personal computer starting this fall.

A key feature is the ability to run multiple apps side by side. It’s already possible to run multiple apps, but you see one at a time and have to keep switching. Now you can be browsing in Safari and slide in a second app such as Mail or Calendar from the right side. There’s also a split-screen view similar to what’s coming to the new Mac operating system this fall.

You’ll also be able to watch video in a small window while doing other things on the iPad.

Other features include the ability to turn the on-screen keyboard into a trackpad, similar to a Mac. There are also shortcuts for switching between apps.

40

41

Some of the new features won’t work with iPads that are more than a few years old.

Windows tablets and many Samsung Android tablets already support side-by-side apps.

The features were announced at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco on Monday.

11:45 A.M. PDT (2:45 P.M. EDT)

The iOS 9 update coming this fall will also have battery improvements and improved security.

Health-related improvements include tracking for hydration and ultraviolet exposure, while smart-home features include supporting sensors for carbon monoxide. App developers would take advantage of these tools in building new apps and devices.

In future cars that support Apple’s CarPlay, you’ll be able to do more on the car’s dashboard without taking the phone out of your bag or pocket.

To get iOS 9, you’ll need less free space than before to upgrade wirelessly. That was a complaint with iOS upgrades in previous years.

The new software will work with all phones and tablets that currently support iOS 8, though not all features will work with older devices.

Apple also announced at its conference for developers in San Francisco on Monday several new features, including transit directions in Maps, a new app for news and specifically for the iPad, the ability to run multiple apps side by side.

42

43

11:55 A.M. PDT (2:55 P.M. EDT)

Apple says app developers will be able to make apps specifically for the watch and interact directly with the watch’s sensors and controls, such as the dial.

Third-party apps for the Apple Watch have been limited to being extensions of apps that run on the iPhone. With native app support, third-party fitness apps will be able to work without a phone nearby.

Currently, only Apple’s own Activity and Workout apps do that.

Apps will also be able to play audio using the watch’s speaker and tap its microphone.

The next version of Watch OS will also have new watch faces, including those featuring your personal photos and albums. Raise your wrist, and a different photo from the album shows up.

App developers will also be able to design information modules known as “complications” to appear on the watch faces. An airline, for instance, might design one with upcoming flight times.

A new feature called Time Travel will let users scroll the dial to go back and forward in time, whether that’s for upcoming meetings or weather forecasts. Sadly, Apple says Apple Watch can’t offer future stock prices yet.

The new features were unveiled Monday at Apple’s conference for developers in San Francisco.

44

45

12:05 P.M. PDT (3:05 EDT)

Jimmy Iovine, co-founder of Beats Electronics, is introducing Apple Music, an app that combines a 24-hour, seven-day live radio station called “Beats 1” with an on-demand music streaming service.

“Beats 1,” led by former BBC host Zane Lowe, will be broadcast live out of Los Angeles, New York and London.

The app will also give artists a forum called “Connect” to allow them to interact with fans by releasing demos, playlists, soundbites, videos and songs.

Iovine says the app brings together elements of the music world that are confusing and currently spread across many apps. He introduced it Monday at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco.

12:30 P.M. PDT (3:30 EDT)

Apple says its new Apple Music app will cost $10 a month for one person or $15 a month for a family of up to six people.

Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet software and services, adds that the first three months will be free.

Cue says Apple Music will launch in more than 100 countries at the end of the month with a software update. He says it is also coming to Android devices in the fall.

He showed off some features, including the app’s integration with Siri, Apple’s voice activated assistant at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco Monday.

Siri took requests like “Play the song from `Selma,’” “Play the top song from May 1982,” and “Play the Top 10 songs in alternative.”

46

47

Apple announced a major new foray into streaming music on Monday as it showed off a host of new software features for its iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.

The $10-a-month music service is called Apple Music and combines on-demand listening, a 24/7 radio station hosted by live DJs and a forum for artists to give fans behind-the-scenes content from upcoming releases.

The service, which was announced during Apple’s annual software conference Monday, will be launched later this month in more than 100 countries. It comes at a time when iTunes songs and album sales are falling, while streaming music leaders like Spotify and Deezer are gaining subscribers and revenue.

APPLE MAKES PRODUCT

UPGRADES, PUSHES INTO

STREAMING MUSIC

48

49

The music service was the biggest news of the company’s five-day conference, but Apple also announced a host of new upgrades and services coming later this year to the operating software for its popular iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.

The new features including enhancements to Siri, the company’s voice-activated digital assistant, as well as Apple Pay, Apple Maps and the Apple Watch. Executives also mentioned a new streaming TV service that Apple is reportedly hoping to announce later this year.

Analysts say the new services and upgrades, which will be available when Apple releases free updates to its iOS and Mac OS software this fall, are part of a broader strategy to make Apple’s devices indispensable.

While many companies make smartphones and computers, “Apple’s crown jewels are its software and online services,” said analyst Daniel Ives, who follows tech companies for FBR Capital Markets.

Some of the new features could provide new profits for the tech powerhouse. But perhaps more importantly, they may help keep customers from defecting to rivals like Google, which showed off new features for its competing Android mobile software at its event last month.

Here’s a look at the new features Apple announced:

50

51

APPLE MUSIC

The service represents a chance for Apple to come from behind in a digital music field that it once led. With a lengthy three-month free trial, a $15-a-month plan for up to six family members, and the ability to push the app to 100s of millions of iPhone and iPad users, the launch could mark a major milestone in digital music.

Besides offering the new subscription plan, the app also will continue to allow download purchases from iTunes. It will be available this summer for Apple devices and Windows PCs, and in a break from Apple’s usual practice, it will also be released as an app for Android devices this fall.

The live radio station, called “Beats 1,” puts a twist on Internet radio, a field led by Pandora, by having human DJs host a constant stream of talk and music from Los Angeles, New York and London, led by former BBC host Zane Lowe.

The company is also touting a feature called “Connect,” which artists can use to share notes, recordings and photos with their fans who subscribe to Apple Music.

“Apple Music is the next chapter in music,” CEO Tim Cook told an estimated 5,000 software developers attending the conference. “It’ll change the way you experience music forever.”

52

SIRI

Apple’s voice-activated digital assistant will be integrated into the new music service, so subscribers can ask it to play songs from movie soundtracks, find hit songs from a certain year, or create playlists from top songs in different genres.

Siri is also gaining more intelligence, according to Apple executives, who demonstrated by having Siri do things like search an iPhone-users’ photos with a voice command, such as “Show me pictures from San Francisco last July.”

With the coming software update, Siri also will be able to an ticipate certain requests and remember websites, said Apple senior vice president Craig Federighi. So, a user can tell Siri to “remember this” and it will later show a link to a website viewed earlier.

Siri will also gain the ability to search within apps loaded on the iPhone, to provide links to information from a restaurant or food app, for example.

53

54

APPLE PAY

Along with making payments tied to a credit or debit card, Apple Pay will soon incorporate store-issued payment cards and rewards from loyalty programs offered by merchants like Walgreens and Dunkin Donuts. That could be a key to making the service more useful for shoppers, according to analysts at Forrester Research.

Apple says Apple Pay has been quickly embraced by shoppers and merchants since it was launched last fall, but it hasn’t released many financial details. Forrester analysts said in an email that the idea of paying with a smartphone in stores is still new and it’s unclear if consumers view it as a novelty or an essential shopping tool.

55

56

57

APPLE WATCH:

Apple announced an update to the watch operating system and said it will release the programming tools that independent developers need to build apps that can interact directly with the watch’s hardware and sensors.

The watch still requires a link to the iPhone to perform many functions, but Apple’s Kevin Lynch said the new software upgrade will let the watch connect directly to Wi-fi networks, so it will be able to provide some services even if the owner’s iPhone isn’t nearby.

While tech experts see big opportunities in wearable devices, some consumers are “still on the fence,” said app-builder Jordan Edelson of Appetizer Mobile. He said the new app-building tools will help developers show how useful the watch can be.

Apple did not release any sales figures for the watch, which it began selling in April.

58

WHO’S WHO IN MUSIC STREAMING: APPLE, SPOTIFY, PANDORA & MORE

Apple shook up the music world more than a decade ago when it offered an easy way to buy songs digitally for 99 cents each. Now, it’s trying to do it again with a subscription music streaming service.

But this time, it faces heavy competition.

Below is a look at who’s who in music streaming and what they offer:

ON DEMAND

Several services charge $10 a month to let you play any of millions of tracks on mobile devices and even download them for offline listening. Once you stop paying, though, you lose all your songs, even ones you’ve already downloaded. Some offer free versions with ads and other restrictions, such as song selection only on PCs.

- With last year’s purchase of headphones maker Beats, Apple got Beats Music, which offers unlimited listening and offline playback for $10 a month. That is evolving into Apple Music and will have a prominent spot on iPhones and other Apple devices, as well as a unique integration with Siri, Apple’s voice-activated digital assistant. Apple Music, set to debut June 30, will also be $10 a month, after a three-month free trial. The whole family can sign up for $15.

59

60

61

- Spotify is one of Apple Music’s biggest competitors in this space, with 60 million active users worldwide, and a quarter of them paying subscribers. It also offers the ability to pick and play tracks on PCs for free with ads; on mobile devices, non-paying users can play albums, artists or playlists they want but with tracks in random order, also with ads.

- Rhapsody, operating as Napster in some countries, offers unlimited music for $10, along with a hybrid service called “unRadio” for $5 a month. It’s basically ad-free Internet radio with the ability to save up to 25 favorites for playback anytime.

- Tidal and Deezer also offer high-fidelity CD-quality song streaming, which audiophiles tend to prefer over MP3s and other formats that reduce quality in the compression process. Tidal offers music video and curated playlists from experts. Both charge $10 a month for standard sound quality and $20 for high-fidelity, although discounts can reduce this price.

- Rdio offers full on-demand listening for $10, or a $4 hybrid service that allows 25 tracks to be picked and played on mobile devices.

- Besides the main on-demand features, Slacker’s twist on a hybrid plan is a $4-per-month “Radio Plus” that allows for Internet radio stations to be listened to offline.

- Google Play Music service also offers unlimited on-demand listening for $10 a month, with no free option. Google also offers a service called YouTube Music Key for selected music videos, free of ads, for $10. Paying for one gets you the other, too. YouTube itself, which is free with ads, is possibly the world’s favorite free option for music, whether you watch the video or not.

- Amazon offers on-demand unlimited listening with a $99-a-year Prime membership, though the song selection is very limited compared with rivals.

INTERNET RADIO

With Internet radio, which is free with ads, you can’t choose songs or artists, as you can with the on-demand listening services. But you can fine-tune your Internet stations by specifying a song, artist, genre, playlist, mood, activity or time of day. The station will then stream songs to match your choices. You can personalize stations further by skipping tracks or giving a thumbs up or down on the songs you hear.

- Pandora, the U.S. leader, has about 80 million active listeners. It’s free with ads, or you can pay $5 a month for an ad-free premium service and higher-quality audio over Web browsers.

- IHeart Radio combines genre-based Internet radio with online feeds of hundreds of traditional radio stations so homesick devotees can listen while out of market.

- Slacker’s free offering intersperses playlists with pre-recorded intros and factoids by DJs.

- Songza offers a concierge Internet radio service based on the time of day and your activities.

- Internet radio through Apple’s iTunes Radio is going away and will become part of the new Apple Music. The difference is humans rather than computers will choose the songs. It’s free on Apple devices and Mac and Windows personal computers. Apple is also launching a global radio station called Beats 1 to join stations based on genres. DJs in Los Angeles, New York and London will host.

PAY PER SONG

Pay per song enables you to buy songs or albums to own forever.

- Apple’s iTunes first made it easy to buy singles or albums, and that will continue. But now, Google and Amazon compete in that space, often at lower prices and with different options to save your tunes online.

SPOTIFY GETS INVESTMENT AS IT

FACES COMPETITION FROM APPLE

Music streaming company Spotify said Wednesday it has gotten a new investment from a Nordic telecoms company as it looks to compete globally, particularly with a rival service that Apple is due to launch this month.

Swedish operator TeliaSonera is paying $115 million for a 1.4 percent stake, which would value Spotify at about $8.2 billion.

Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Spotify offers free streaming music and a premium service for a monthly fee that lets users listen to music offline and without advertisements.

It says it has over 20 million paying subscribers, and another 55 million who use a free version of the streaming music service. It has over 30 million songs with over 20,000 added each day.

It is seeing increasing competition, however, with Apple launching its Apple Music streaming service at the end of June.

Though Spotify has managed to grow its revenue, it remains unprofitable. In 2014, the unlisted company increased its revenue by 45 percent to $1.3 billion but booked a $197 million operating loss.

66

67

It has paid $3 billion in royalties to rights holders since its start in October 2008, including more than $300 million in the first three months of 2015.

TeliaSonera says the deal with Spotify will extend an existing partnership to focus on “media distribution, customer insights, data analytics and advertising.” CEO Johan Dennelind said Spotify has “a world class take on innovation.”

In a joint statement, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said “We’re able to take this to the next level together.”

Spotify doesn’t disclose details about its ownership.

APPLE MUSIC BRINGS CHANGE TO STREAMING, BUT IS IT ENOUGH?

When Apple launches its Apple Music streaming service at the end of June, it will affect things big and small in the music industry.

Hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users in more than 100 countries will get to try the $10-per-month service for free for the next three months when it is pushed to their devices with a free upgrade.

They’ll get unlimited access to tens of millions of songs during the trial, and afterward be required to pay a monthly fee for access, instead of paying for each album or song download.

It’ll change the way you experience music forever, CEO Tim Cook promised Monday at Apple’s annual conference for software developers, held in San Francisco.

It could become one more thing that keeps current iPhone and iPad users inside the Apple Inc. ecosystem, while enticing others in.

Here’s a look at some of the major aspects of Apple Music.

70

71

INTEGRATION WITH SIRI

Subscribers will be able to ask Siri, Apple’s mobile digital assistant, all sorts of unusual questions about music, and have any of millions of tunes play back in response.

Executive Eddy Cue demonstrated a few of them Monday, including asking for a playlist of the top 10 hits in the alternative genre, asking for a song from the soundtrack of the movie Selma, and even asking for the top song from May 1982. (It was Joan Jett & the Blackheart’s I Love Rock `n’ Roll.)

Using Siri’s artificial intelligence and one’s voice could come in handy when working out, going on a jog or driving a car equipped with Apple’s Car Play.

REAL RADIO, OVER THE INTERNET

In modern times, Internet radio has been defined by automated playlist generators like Pandora, Songza and others. Apple is changing that game by bringing back living, breathing DJs. It plans to run Beats 1, a live 247 radio station hosted by DJs - including former BBC host Zane Lowe - in Los Angeles, New York and London. The service will be free to users with an Apple ID.

It will also offer standard genre-based Internet radio stations, this time with playlists curated by humans, instead of the algorithms that power the soon-to-be-disappearing feature, iTunes Radio.

CONNECT

Apple is opening a new platform for artists that allows them to release to fans content such as lyrics to an upcoming song, behind-the-scenes video, or even new tracks. Any user can access Connect through a tab on the Apple Music app,

72

73

and can follow artists and access their feeds. Only subscribers will be able to view, save and like the content.

Requiring payment for what might be considered promotional content is new to subscription services, but super-fans may be drawn in.

APPLE MUSIC VS. MY MUSIC VS. BEATS MUSIC

Apple device users who have bought songs or albums on iTunes needn’t worry. Their music will still be on their devices, and in many cases, still saved to the cloud.

Music that isn’t available for streaming but still for sale on iTunes, like songs from the Beatles, can be integrated into playlists. Subscription music can be saved for offline listening alongside downloads.

And the some 300,000 subscribers to Beats Music, which Apple bought along with the headphone line for $3 billion last year, will have the opportunity to transfer their playlists over to Apple Music, at which point, their Beats subscription will be canceled.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Apple touts its human curation so much, it’s making you pay for it. A new For You tab will offer subscribers music suggestions based on artists and genres they say they like, as well as what they actually listen to. A team of music experts is said to be behind every pick. This feature is a nearly direct import from Beats Music.

These people are going to help you with the most difficult question in music What song comes next said Apple executive Jimmy Iovine, who helped develop the service.

75

BETTER DEAL FOR RECORD LABELS, ARTISTS

Music fans who have read about artists and record labels complaining about the tiny royalties they get from streaming services may have something to cheer about.

According to two people familiar with the matter, last-minute deal-making did result in a better streaming deal for record labels and artists.

Instead of sharing the industry-standard 55 percent of subscription streaming revenue with labels and artists, Apple will share around 58 to 60 percent. Music publishers in charge of songwriting royalties also saw a slight bump in their cut from the standard 10 to 12 percent to about 14 percent of subscription revenues, the people said. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the deals are confidential.

ANDROID

Apple is letting users of Google’s competing Android mobile operating system use a version of the Apple Music app beginning this fall. But those users will have to pay to access Beats 1 and some features of Connect that Apple device users will get for free.

CAN APPLE COME FROM BEHIND

Industry analysts expect Apple’s biggest advantages - its huge user base, ability to sell its services with attractive TV ads, and global reach - will get the service up and running successfully.

Whether it will dramatically raise the popularity of streaming services is unclear. Currently, Apple’s Beats Music serves just a tiny fraction of the 41 million paying music subscribers globally.

76

77

Russ Crupnick, managing partner of research firm Music Watch Inc., says he’s not sure whether Apple has come up with the right package of services to make paid music streaming at $10 a month take off.

You’ve got to really change the mindset of consumers to have them say, `Wow, this makes it worth the money,’ Crupnick says. I still think you’ll have a lot of people who will say, `No thanks, I’ll take the 99-cent track. There are a lot of places where I can listen to music, thank you very much.’

NETFLIX TO EXPAND INTO ITALY, PORTUGAL IN OCTOBER

Netflix will debut in Italy and Portugal in October as the Internet video service accelerates its international expansion.

The move into two more European countries was announced Saturday, just a few days after the Los Gatos, California, company unveiled its plans to begin selling its service in Spain.

Netflix is aiming to be available throughout the world by the end of next year, although the company may have to forge partnerships to enter some countries such as China. It’s already in more than 50 countries.

The company ended March with 62 million subscribers worldwide, including 41 million customers in U.S. The service, which streams movies and TV shows over high-speed Internet connections, costs $9 per month in the U.S. Prices vary in other parts of the world.

THE ICONIC DINOSAUR FRANCHISE IS BACK

Dinosaurs may have long captured our imaginations in a world in which we have never witnessed them first-hand, but when it comes to the silver screen, just one franchise based on the prehistoric beasts has always stood out: Jurassic Park. The original Michael Crichton science fiction novel spawned a money-spinning 1993 film and another two sequels to date, and now, we've got another movie in the franchise set for release in the United States on June 12: Jurassic World.

The story of Jurassic Park itself, of course - a disastrous attempt to create a theme park of cloned dinosaurs - is very much built on things going wrong for we mere humans, and the story of the Jurassic Park franchise hasn't always been trouble-free, either. For all of the critical acclaim and commercial success accorded to the novel and original film, the subsequent movies - 1997's The Lost World: Jurassic Park and 2001's Jurassic Park III, the former based on Crichton's follow-up to his initial novel - received decidedly mixed reviews.

Still, the Jurassic Park name had already been cemented as box office gold by then, meaning that both sequels were commercial successes. That leaves a very clear task for the heavily-delayed fourth film in the series, Jurassic World: live up to the last three movies' legendary ability to draw in the punters, while restoring some luster to the venerable franchise among the critics.

83

A TRUE TALE OF 'DEVELOPMENT HELL'

There are some films that go through 'development hell' - the term given for the lingering state of such a project that never seems to progress from development to production - and then there's Jurassic World. Talk of a fourth installment in the franchise had already began in March 2001, when Jurassic Park III director Joe Johnston was forced to scotch suggestions that it was already being worked on.

However, speculation about a possible 'Jurassic Park IV' did not relent, as it emerged that at a late stage of the last film's production, executive producer Steven Spielberg - the director of the first two movies - came up with a story idea for such a film. As the years passed by, there was further talk about who would sit in the directorial chair for any Jurassic Park comeback, and who would appear among the actors to have already starred in the trilogy.

By 2004, it looked like production was finally set to begin in readiness for a release in the summer of 2005 - and yet, continued alterations to the film's script kept it on hold. Finally, by the early 2010s, work on the project picked up, and it became clear that the existing cast of iconic characters would have little part to play in any new movie - this being, in the words of one of those stars, Sam Neill, "a big reboot, a total re-jig."

84

88

A VERY DIFFERENT FILM TO THAT ONCE ENVISAGED

Not surprisingly, the list of personnel underpinning Jurassic World differs markedly from what was originally planned for a fourth installment. Instead of Johnston, it was ultimately Colin Trevorrow who was handed directorial duties, Spielberg serving as executive producer as he had done for Jurassic Park III.

Meanwhile, the only actor in Jurassic World to have appeared in any of the franchise's previous films is B. D. Wong, who reprises his role as geneticist Dr. Henry Wu. Neill - who so many will remember in previous movies as the leading paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant - certainly doesn't turn up, and nor does Laura Dern as paleobotanist Dr. Ellie Sattler, or Jeff Goldblum as mathematician and chaos theorist Dr. Ian Malcolm.

The absence of such well-remembered stars and characters in Jurassic World may jar with some fans who feel them to be just too central to the franchise to possibly be missed out. But it's hard not to admire the determination of the filmmakers to move Jurassic Park into a decisive new era, one that is not as self-referential as the similarly anticipated new Star Wars movie.

As Trevorrow confirmed: "[The old characters] never were [intended to be included in Jurassic World]. I never saw a draft in which they were included, and I think I looked at every iteration at least once."

89

BUT CERTAIN FAMILIAR FOESDO RETURN

However, not everything about Jurassic World is unfamiliar - after all, it does still center on Isla Nublar, the fictional island located off the Pacific Coast of Central America that was where the action of the previous movies played out. The story this time, 22 years after the original movie's events, sees us return to the isle where a fully functioning theme park based on cloned dinosaurs has finally been realized, as was John Hammond's original dream.

By the time we see it, though, the park has already been operating for a decade, and visitors are getting a little bored of seeing the same old roaming monsters. This inspires an attempt to reinvigorate visitor numbers with the introduction of a new attraction, which inevitably horrendously backfires.

Yep, the dinosaurs themselves haven't gone away, and if anything, they might actually be too familiar - some observers suggesting that the filmmakers have deliberately ignored new discoveries about these creatures over the years in order to maintain consistency with the previous films. There's little denying the impressiveness of the special effects, though, Legacy Effects - helmed by former project supervisors at Stan Winston Studios - having been recruited to create dinosaurs in animatronic form.

While animatronics were used to depict the four raptors, a sequence filmed in Hawaii necessitated a practically built dinosaur,

90

91

and there are even computer generated dinosaurs, created using performance capture that involved humans performing the creatures' movements.

THE LATEST STEP IN A LONG JOURNEY

A huge amount has happened since the first 1990 novel, the subsequent initial film and the comics, video games and other projects that have spun off the basic Jurassic Park premise down the years. The individuals behind the original movie have gone on to (largely) bigger and better things, Spielberg having used the franchise to further cement his status as one of New Hollywood's preeminent directors.

92

The original film's actors have seen often drastically different pastures new - Neill complementing his reprise of the role of Grant in Jurassic Park III with appearances in TV series like The Tudors and Peaky Blinders. His one-time co-star Dern has graced our screens more recently in the HBO series Enlightened, in addition to claiming an Oscar nomination for Wild. Goldblum has distinguished himself in the likes of Independence Day and The Grand Budapest Hotel.

93

94

95

RENEWED PROSPECTS FORJURASSIC PARK

As for Jurassic Park... well, it is looking with unbounded optimism towards its own future. The all-encompassing revamp for the latest movie suggests that it could yet become a truly reborn franchise for a completely different generation, and the early signs - both critical and commercial - are certainly good. There are rave reviews already for Chris Pratt's performance as Velociraptor trainer Owen Grady, one review even describing him as the "perfect blend of Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm", while even nods to the original movie have been described as "cute rather than annoying".

96

97

Commercially, too, Jurassic Park looks to be in good shape for the immediate future - a debut of $115 million being predicted. That would place it behind only Furious 7 and Avengers: Age of Ultron for the year so far, in addition to making it easily the highest-grossing debut in the franchise's history, besting the $72 million garnered by the premiere of The Lost World.

But what of the more distant future? Could Jurassic Park V - or whatever any fifth movie ends up being called - be bolder still? In short: yes. There have already been hints from Trevorrow of such future plot possibilities as rogue geneticists making use of dinosaur

98

tech in a way that seems quite befitting for today's world of open-source code. Future Jurassic Parks may even decisively take the dinosaurs away from the island.

In the meantime, though, perhaps we'd best enjoy what the latest Jurassic Park has to offer us. This may just be the kind of film where many of us lack the patience to wait for the 'official' verdicts from the usual professional writers, instead preferring to reacquaint ourselves with the dinosaurs in a way that is as close to 'first-hand' as we can get - at least for now.

President Barack Obama says the problem of cybersecurity hacks targeting the U.S. government is going to accelerate.

Obama is addressing cybersecurity following a massive hack of U.S. government employees’ personnel files, described as the most significant cyberattack in U.S. history.

Obama says part of the problem is the U.S. has very old systems for detecting intrusions. He says the U.S. is upgrading old systems agency by agency to ensure that technology is up to date.

But Obama says the problem isn’t going away. He says both governments and individuals are throwing everything they’ve got at U.S. systems. Obama says that’s why the U.S. must be much more attentive to cybersecurity.

Obama commented Monday in Germany at the close of a summit of the world’s leading democracies.

INTEL LAUNCHES INVESTMENT FUND FOR MINORITY, WOMEN-LED FIRMS

Intel is launching a $125 million investment fund for technology startups led by women and minorities, a move the chipmaker says is aimed at changing the face of Silicon Valley.

The new fund, which is unusual for its focus on minority-led companies, is part of a broader effort that Intel CEO Brian Krzanich has launched amid widespread criticism of a U.S. tech industry dominated by white male executives and investors.

Krzanich announced plans earlier this year to spend $300 million on diversity efforts and pledged to make Intel’s workforce and executive ranks more closely resemble the U.S. workforce by 2020. Intel has previously said its workforce is about 24 percent female and 12 percent black and Hispanic. The U.S. workforce is about 47 percent women and 26 percent black and Hispanic.

The new investment fund will raise Intel’s commitment to more than $300 million, Intel officials said, although they said there is some overlap and they did not provide financial details. It’s intended to help build a more diverse “ecosystem” of smaller companies and entrepreneurs that plays an important role in the tech industry, Krzanich said Tuesday.

Despite statistics that show few women and minority-led startups receive venture funding, he said Intel wants to show “there are plenty of women- and minority-led startup companies, and we want to work with them.”

The first companies to receive backing from the new program include Venafi, a cybersecurity firm; CareCloud, which makes Internet-based software for the health industry; Brit + Co., which provides classes and an online market for selling do-it-yourself products; and Mark One, which makes a “smart” cup that analyzes the nutritional content of beverages.

To qualify for funding, firms must have a woman or minority founder or CEO, or at least three top executives who are women and minorities, said Lisa Lambert, who is overseeing the fund.

“They will go through the same scrutiny as any Intel Capital deal. This isn’t a social program” added Lambert, who is a vice president with Intel Capital, the giant chip-maker’s investment arm.

While there are nonprofit organizations that support minority-led startups, dedicated investment funds are rare. AOL has a $10 million fund focused on women-led startups. Comcast has a $20 million fund that provides early-stage or “seed” funding to minority startups. Lambert said Intel’s fund will look at startups that are further along in their growth.

“I think we need to see more programs like what Intel is doing, that look at the business opportunities and solutions” offered by minority-led companies, said Edward Avila of Manos Accelerator, a San Jose, California, group that provides mentorship for Hispanic entrepreneurs.

“The challenge for minority startups is not their ability or capacity, it’s their access to capital,” said Butch Wing, a spokesman for the Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH organization, which has pressured Silicon Valley companies to improve diversity.

‘METAL GEAR SOLID V’:5 WAYS ‘PHANTOM PAIN’ IS DIFFERENT

The world is Snake’s oyster in the latest installment of “Metal Gear Solid.”

While his penchant for hiding in cardboard boxes remains, the cigar-smoking protagonist is no longer confined to slipping through linear levels in “Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain,” the next edition of Konami’s long-running stealth video game series. The open-world adventure is providing players with the power to choose exactly how Snake embarks on his missions.

129

130

“Phantom Pain,” which is scheduled for release Sept. 1, is essentially a tale of revenge. The game centers on a battered and bruised Snake (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) setting off on horseback to rebuild his private army in Cold War-era Afghanistan.

After recently spending several hours with “Phantom Pain,” here are a few of the most dramatic changes coming to the franchise:

OPENING ACT

Before he’s unleashed on the open world, Snake mysteriously awakens in a medical facility after being in a coma for nearly a decade following the events of “Ground Zeroes,” a stand-alone prologue released last year. The first chapter focuses on Snake’s harrowing pursuit by the series’ most supernatural baddies, yet all while he’s wearing nothing but a flimsy hospital gown.

CHOOSE OR LOSE

The saga is divided into chapters, each with its own opening and closing credits. However, “Phantom Pain” leaves Snake’s strategies mostly up to players to decide, rewarding them for being as sneaky and resourceful as possible. It’s possible for Snake to go with guns blazing into enemy territory, but that won’t necessarily net him the best upgrades for his bionic arm or base.

ALL ABOUT THAT BASE

“Phantom Pain” is as much about supply management as it is snooping around. Snake can slyly tether balloons to enemies, vehicles, munitions and more in order to send them back to his headquarters, Mother Base. As he collects supplies, his floating enclave will prosper. For example, Snake won’t be able to interrogate foes until he’s actually recruited an interpreter.

131

132

NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL MUSIC

Apparently, music will play a vital role in “Phantom Pain,” which is set in the 1980s. That’s evidenced by tunes from such artists as Billy Idol and A-Ha pumping out from boom boxes tucked within bases. Snake can also create his own retro mixtapes. What better way to prepare for combat than to blast David Bowie’s “Diamond Dogs” on the helicopter ride into battle?

MY BUDDY AND ME

Snake won’t totally be alone on the front lines. After securing or recruiting them, he’s able to call on such “buddies” - as they’re known in the game - as a trained attack dog, mechanized robot walker and assassin sidekick to accomplish his tasks. As with Snake’s other equipment, the buddies can be outfitted with stuff like better armor and higher tech weapons.

When leaders of the Group of Seven wealthy countries pledge to decarbonize the global economy they’re talking about a shift so dramatic that one analyst described it as a new Apollo mission.

Like putting a man on the moon, it would require overcoming major hurdles related to technology and money and the political will - so far in short supply - to make it happen.

Despite gains by renewable energy sources in recent years, the world is still hooked on fossil fuels that are powering our homes and businesses and fueling our cars, trucks, airplanes and ships.

The resulting release of heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere keeps rising, primarily because of fast growth in China, India and other emerging economies. CO2 emissions from fossil fuels now exceed 30 billion tons a year, according to the International Energy Agency.

What President Barack Obama and other G-7 leaders envisioned in Germany on Monday is a world where those emissions would be phased out by the end of the century.

Above all that would entail a major shift in how the world produces electricity, about two-thirds of which comes from the burning of fossil fuels, mainly coal and gas.

Scaling up solar, wind, geothermal, nuclear, hydro-power and perhaps other renewable sources still to be developed is possible, but that requires policies, such as carbon taxes, that make them more competitive compared to coal or natural gas.

We have to be honest coal is a very, very cheap energy carrier. Therefore we need a carbon price, said Ottmar Edenhofer, a prominent member of the U.N.’s expert panel on climate science.

139

Putting a price on carbon is highly contentious politically in many countries. The U.S. Senate turned down such a proposal in 2010. Australia’s current government repealed a carbon tax introduced by the previous government.

Making renewables that depend on the weather such as wind and solar power more competitive would also require technological advances, primarily how to store energy more efficiently.

Decarbonizing the transportation sector is even more complicated. There are of course already vehicles running on electricity or biofuels. But fuels made from oil still dominate and it will probably be a long time before they can be substituted at a large scale in aviation and shipping, though experiments with biofuels and even solar power are underway.

Also, replacing fossil fuels to generate the intense heat required for some industrial processes like steel production isn’t likely to happen anytime soon.

That’s why many scientists and economists say demands by some environmental activists for a complete phase-out of fossil fuels are unrealistic. Instead, they say the fight against climate change will have to include efforts to capture CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and bury them deep underground where they don’t affect the climate.

The U.N. climate science panel projected last year that such technologies, which already exist at a small scale, may have to be applied to achieve negative emissions in the future, because the world isn’t expected to bring down its emissions fast enough in the near term. That could entail, for example, using biofuels for power generation and then capturing their emissions.

But even that is not without problems large-scale biofuel crops could end up replacing food crops or threatening biodiversity.

140

141

The G-7 leaders didn’t address in detail how to resolve all these issues. In U.N. climate talks on an envisioned pact in Paris later this year, countries have a hard time agreeing on much smaller things, like whether to renew their individual climate targets every five or 10 years.

Still, the message from the leaders of the world’s most powerful developed countries is important because it’s the first time they acknowledge what needs to happen to keep global temperatures from reaching dangerous levels, said Jeffrey Sachs, a Columbia University economist and U.N. special adviser.

It does mean in practice an enormous shift from a fossil fuel-based energy system to near-zero carbon energy sources. It’s a big deal, he said. Not unlike the Apollo mission.

With a crucial legal decision looming, President Barack Obama said Monday the Supreme Court should not even have considered the latest challenge to his signature health care law but he voiced confidence the justices “will play it straight” - and leave the law intact.

Obama weighed in on the merits of the case against the five-year-old Affordable Care Act as the high court prepares to announce a decision sometime later this month that could wipe out health insurance for millions of people.

Wrapping up a two-day international summit Monday, Obama told reporters there was no reason for the health program to end up in court, maintaining that “the thing is working.”

“Frankly, it probably shouldn’t even have been taken up,” he said. The remark was a direct and provocative challenge to a court that holds the fate of one of Obama’s top legislative achievements in its hands. To prevail, Obama needs the votes of Chief Justice John Roberts or Justice Anthony Kennedy, one of whom most likely voted to hear the case in the first place.

At issue in the case is whether Congress authorized federal subsidy payments for health care coverage regardless of where people live, or only for residents of states that created their own insurance marketplaces. The decision could have far-reaching implications because nearly 6.4 million low- and moderate-income Americans could lose coverage if the court said people who enrolled through the federal site weren’t eligible for the subsidies. Obama says it has been well-documented that Congress never intended to exclude people who went through the federal exchange.

“You interpret a statute based on what the intent and meaning and the overall structure of the statute provides for,” said Obama, a lawyer who once taught constitutional law.

145

146

Pressed in a news conference on whether he had an alternative if he loses in court, Obama insisted he had no “Plan B.” “This would be hard to fix,” he said.

But he made it clear that if the court were to rule against him, then he would place the political burden directly on the Republican-controlled Congress, betting that an angry public would demand a fix.

During oral arguments earlier this year before the Supreme Court, Justice Antonin Scalia also suggested that Congress could easily fix it.

“This Congress, your honor?” responded the administration’s lawyer, Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr., eliciting ripples of laughter from observers in the chamber.

Still, most of the health insurance losses would occur in states governed by Republicans who have resisted the health care law and not created state exchanges. Twenty-six of the 34 states that would be most affected by the ruling have Republican governors, and 22 of the 24 GOP Senate seats up in 2016 are in those states.

As a result, those most affected if the court blocks subsidies are likely to be constituents of Republican lawmakers, a fact not lost on White House officials. Public opinion remains mixed, however. A recent Washington Post-ABC poll found that a majority of Americans continue to oppose the law. But the poll, conducted at the end of May, also found that 55 percent of those surveyed don’t want the court to block any subsidies. “It’s a bad idea,” Obama said, noting that the case turns on the interpretation of a short phrase in the law. “It’s not something that should be done based on a twisted interpretation of four words in - as we were reminded repeatedly - a couple-thousand-page piece of legislation.”

HP TO PAY $100 MILLION TO SETTLE CASE TIED TO AUTONOMY DEAL

Hewlett-Packard’s ill-fated acquisition of software maker Autonomy will cost another $100 million, as the personal computer and printer maker prepares to settle class-action litigation tied to the 2011 deal.

HP wound up paying a 64 percent per-share premium for Autonomy as it built up its business software line while retreating from consumer electronics. The $10 billion price tag was 11 times greater than Autonomy’s annual revenue of $870 million.

Only a month later, HP fired CEO Leo Apotheker, one of the deal’s biggest backers, as the company struggled to justify disappointing sales and a series of missteps.

HP ended up writing off most of the purchase price for Autonomy after alleging that the company had misrepresented its true value during sale negotiations. Autonomy’s founder has denied the allegations.

Shareholder outrage over the Autonomy deal and other soured acquisitions triggered a shake-up of HP’s board in 2013.

Hewlett-Packard Co. said Tuesday that its insurance will pay the $100 million to a settlement fund to resolve a lawsuit stemming from the impairment charge. The money ultimately will go to people who bought HP shares between Aug. 19, 2011 and Nov. 20, 2012.

HP insists that the litigation has no merit, but that it chose to avoid a protracted legal battle. The Palo Alto, California, company and its current and former executives and directors will be released from any Autonomy-related securities claims as part of the deal.

HP stayed out of major deals for several years following the Autonomy purchase before announcing in March that it would buy wireless networking company Aruba Networks for about $2.7 billion.

The PC maker has struggled to adapt to tech trends and shifting customer preferences. It is preparing to split into two companies - one focused on selling computer systems and software to businesses, and the other selling personal computers and printers - as part of CEO Meg Whitman’s plan to stem declining sales.

HP’s share dipped five cents to $32.74 in afternoon trading. The stock has tumbled 18 percent so far this year.

WOMAN BEHIND SILICON VALLEY GENDER SUIT DEMANDED $2.7M

The woman behind a high-profile gender discrimination lawsuit against a Silicon Valley venture capital firm demanded $2.7 million not to appeal the jury verdict against her, the firm said Friday.

Attorneys for Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers included the figure in court documents filed in San Francisco Superior Court against Ellen Pao, and a spokeswoman for the company said Pao sought the money in exchange for not appealing.

We have no intention of accepting this unreasonable demand, the spokeswoman, Christina Lee, said.

Heather Wilson, a spokeswoman for Pao, declined comment on Friday’s court filing or statement by Kleiner Perkins.

Pao filed a notice this week that she was appealing the March verdict, in which a jury found Kleiner Perkins did not discriminate or retaliate against Pao.

The case became a flashpoint in an ongoing discussion about gender inequity at elite technology and venture capital firms, where women are grossly underrepresented.

During the trial, Kleiner Perkins attorney Lynne Hermle tried to portray Pao as someone just interested in money. She said Pao failed as an investor at the company and sued to get a big payout as she was being shown the door. Pao is now interim CEO of the Internet discussion forum Reddit.

Pao’s attorneys said she was an accomplished junior partner who was passed over for a promotion because the firm used different standards to judge men and women, and that she was fired when she complained about discrimination.

Pao told jurors that her lawsuit was intended in part to create equal opportunities for women in the venture capital sector.

Kleiner Perkins is seeking more than $970,000 in legal costs from Pao. It had said it would waive all costs if Pao did not pursue an appeal.

Kleiner Perkins defended the costs in Friday’s filing against Pao’s claims that they were improper and excessive.
