Ping: Jejaring Sosial Musik Apple

Apple telah meluncurkan layanan jejaring sosial berbasis musik yang diberi nama Ping. Layanan ini diumumkan sendiri oleh Steve Jobs, pada acara Apple Digital Media Event 2010 bertempat di Yerba Buena Center San Francisco.

CEO Apple tersebut menjelaskan, Ping merupakan jejaring sosial dalam hal musik. Karena berbasis musik, Ping nantinya dapat diakses melalui versi terbaru iTunes 10 yang saat itu juga diperkenalkan dengan logo baru.

Ping merupakan jejaring sosial dimana Facebook dan Twitter bertemu dengan iTunes. Layaknya Facebook atau Twitter, pengguna pun bisa mem-follow teman-teman ataupun artis idola mereka. Secara tampilan, Ping menampilakan live feed perihal musik apa yang tengah didengarkan teman kita di iTunes. Kita pun bisa mengomentari status teman-teman kita.

Untuk memainkannya, pengguna tentu harus mengupgrade iTunes 10 terlebih dahulu. Steve Jobs menjelaskan, Ping nantinya tak hanya tersedia bagi iTunes pada desktop, namun juga pada iPhone, iPod Touch, serta iPad.

How to Add/Install/Apply/Get GNU's General Public License to Your Programs/Software/Work

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

"Name of Program/Software/Work"
    "Description of Program"
    Copyright (C) "year"  "name of author"
    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
    (at your option) any later version.

    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
    GNU General Public License for more details.

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this program.  If not, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

"Program Name"  Copyright (C) "Year"  "Name of Author"
    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/.
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html.

NOTE:- Through GNU's General Public License you can freely distribute your Work/Program/Software without having to think about, Claim on the project of other people, i.e., through GNU's GPL you has right to claim over your software/Work.
