<description><![CDATA[If you know what this is and where it is located, you could be eligible to win a prize in the CNET Road Trip Picture of the Day contest.(Credit:Daniel Terdiman/CNET)Welcome to the Road Trip Picture of the Day contest. This is your chance to win some cool prizes as you test your skills at recognizing pictures.Each day, I'll be posting a new photograph from my various travels, and your job is to try to correctly identify it using any means at your disposal. Throughout Road Trip 2011, which will take me to a number of countries in Western Europe, there will be a new challenge each and every day, and the opportunity to win some great prizes.And now on to today's challenge. If you know what this is and where it's located, please send me an e-mail with both pieces of information (to daniel*dot*terdiman--at--cbs*dot*com) by 6 p.m. Pacific time today. Please note: in order to be considered, you must include the phrase &quot;Picture of the Day challenge&quot; in the subject line of your e-mail. No other methods of entering are guaranteed to be considered.And please forgive me if you don't hear from me if you're not the winner. I get dozens of responses each day. Also, I've turned off comments because otherwise people will post the correct answers there. I hate to shut down discussion, but I want you to figure out the answer on your own. The giveawaysThis year, I'll be giving both a weekly prize and one grand prize at the end of my Road Trip project. Here's how it will work:For the weekly prize, I'll pick a winner at random from among all those who correctly identified one of that week's daily challenges. You get one entry into this drawing for each correct entry you submitted that week. For the grand prize, which is a major brand video game console, the winner will be the person who answers the most daily challenges correctly during the entire project. So there's definitely an incentive to play every day and to answer correctly as often as possible. Be warned: last year, there was no shortage of people who had the right answer most of the time, so the competition for the grand prize will be stiff.Given the constraints of the work I'll be doing on Road Trip, I have to minimize the complexity of the Picture of the Day challenge, so if you want to accumulate right answers and compete for the grand prize, you must use the same e-mail address and name each time. If you use a different name or e-mail address, your answers won't be counted together. For complete information and rules about the Picture of the Day challenge, please click here. Good luck today, and throughout the summer. The disclaimer: NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. MUST BE A LEGAL RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES OR D.C., 18 YEARS OLD AND AGE OF MAJORITY OR OLDER IN STATE OF RESIDENCE AT DATE OF ENTRY INTO SWEEPSTAKES.

<description><![CDATA[Apple will pay up to $150 million in advance royalties to the four major labels for iCloud music rights, according to a published report. Apple iCloud logoThe maker of iTunes has agreed to pay each of the top record companies between $25 million and $50 million each in advance royalties, the New York Post reported today. The report, however, has been disputed by a source with knowledge of the talks, who told CNET that Apple is not making any advanced payments. Earlier this week, Apple announced that it will unveil at its Worldwide Developer Conference next week a new service called iCloud. While Apple has not offered any specifics about what iCloud will offer, CNET and others have reported that Apple has talked to the labels about a cloud music service for over a year and will unveil music-related features at WWDC in San Francisco on Monday. Yesterday, CNET broke the news that Universal Music Group had signed a licensing agreement for iCloud, becoming the fourth and final major label to sign on. Apple previously had negotiated cloud deals with Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group, and EMI Music. It is still in licensing talks with the major music publishers.The iCloud is expected to offer users a means to store their iTunes-purchased music on the company's servers and then access those tunes from Web-connected devices. Sources told CNET yesterday that streaming music won't immediately be made available on Monday and that Apple has plans to someday store songs users obtained outside of iTunes. The Post also reported that the size of the advance payments is what stalled negotiations between the labels and Google, which launched an unlicensed cloud storage service in recent weeks. An unlicensed service is much more limited because of copyright concerns. But Google and labels continue to negotiate, and the search company could launch a licensed service by September.Update: 12:05 p.m. PT To include information from a source that disputes Apple paid advances to the labels.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
