Taylor Swift won't release her '1989' album on Apple Music 

Taylor Swift isn't just unhappy with how Spotify does its business. This time, she's refusing to work with Apple on its new streaming service, Apple Music. In an open letter addressed to the company, Swift reasons she doesn't want to make her 1989 album available on the service because they won't be paying the artists or producers during the three-month trial period when it launches. She says she's worried about the young talents who are counting on those initial singles to stay afloat. Swift thinks it's unfair for Apple to have people work for nothing  when they have money to spare. 

We're not sure what Apple would plan to do after this but the company has yet to respond to her letter. The company initially promised to pay higher than the normal rate to compensate for the trial period but we're wondering if that'll be enough if the big acts start to pull out their stuff.

Ways to fix incorrect words using Google Voice Search

If you find that Google’s Voice Search getting your words mixed up, there are ways to fix that. According to Lifehacker, one method is to tap on the word you want fixed. That should show three possibilities to replace it with. If those aren’t the words you’re looking for, you tap on the “respeak” button. If you’re going hands-free, you can just say “Ok, Google” and then add “No, I meant ____.”  That should replace the word in your last search.
