Widescreen Youtube

Soon after Youtube Live finished Youtube started making certain video's widescreen. This will be a big relief for all those who happen to have a widescreen monitor as it will eliminate all the problems associated with non-widescreen videos on these monitors.

Also you may have noticed the banner for Giveaway of the Day on the sidebar. I really reccomend going to it and getting some free software legally!


"Still Alive" - The Theme Song from Mirror's Edge

This is the video for the theme song fro Mirror's Edge. It happens to be called "Still Alive" (did anyone say leeching off the success of Portal?)

Google SearchWiki

Ok, today's post has only one topic...and that's Google SearchWiki!

Google SearchWiki is a new feature of Google which allows a user to rank searches in their own order and comment on specific results. I feel that this is an excellent idea as it will allow people to put the results that they would prefer near the top as well as removing results they do not want. It will probably allow Google to see what people are looking for. To use this service you need a Google Account.

Youtube Live Review!

1 Day Early!

Youtube Live was one of the internet's unique experiences. Despite soem issues woth high quality, mainly lag, it was overall great. The performances were outstanding, except for Soulja Boy and some ukelele player. The stream opened with Mythbusters and Akon and continued with more outstanding performances.

This weeks Youtube 5 is some of teh Highlights from the event.

YouTube Live!

Hi
Just looked at YouTube live. Its pretty good. You can't really tell what is actually going to be on it or how it is going to work, because right now it is just like and opening concert thingy. The videos(there are 4 different camera angles) are available in Low, Medium and High quality and the only one that didn't lag on my internet was the Low one, but that is probably just my internet. Try it if you have good internet and tell me:)Overall i like it:)

Thanks

P.S. This is not the review, that will still go ahead and be much more detailed. I just thought i would give you my thoughts on it:)

Does my iPod get heavier if i put more songs on it?

Hi
We got out first Hardware question:) Does my iPod got heavier if you put more songs on it?

I am 99% sure that iPods use solid state drives(they are really really small and have no moving parts). An example of a basic solid state drive is your basic SD card. A normal hard drive has a few spinning metal disks and some magnets so the magnets record data on to the spinning metal disks.

Now i am not 100% sure how solid state drives work. I know they use either DRAM volatile memory or NAND flash non-volatile memory(these are the block rectangles you see on sticks of RAM) which contain semiconductors instead of a metal disk. So basically No. In computers, storage is just a connection of electrical impulses so they weigh nothing:)

Thanks for the question

P.S. If you have any questions post them on the comment of this post
