YouTube Wins Case Against Viacom
“This is an important victory not just for us, but also for the billions of people around the world who use the web to communicate and share experiences with each other.”
Earlier this month I posted a video of Google Chrome Speed Tests. In this video Opera parodies the potato test and passes time by fighting with fish.
Why Will Google TV Be Any Different From WebTV? Or AOL TV? Or MSNTV? Or…
“The simple fact is that cable companies like Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner (TWX) not only distribute the majority of the set-top boxes in the U.S, they also have a strong hold over content providers. Unless Google can convince them that their current business model is in need of something like Google TV, pushing the platform into the mainstream is likely to prove quite difficult.”

Google TV. I have been a proponent for Internet television, and I admire Google’s effort in trying to combine the entertainment value of television set and the Internet. Many other products and services have hoped to achieve the same goal. Question is, will it stick?
Love Conan? Here is the video of Conan O’Brien’s visit to Google’s HQ. Watch it because it is worth 48-minutes of your life.
“I think there’s a lot of people in broadcast television that are very dismissive or have been very dismissive about the Internet.”
Nice.
In case you are wondering, Google is rolling out a new design to Google Search. You can find the details here.
“The new design refreshes and streamlines the look, feel and functionality of Google, making it easier to pinpoint what you’re looking for. It’s powerful, yet simple. Today’s changes are the latest in our continuing efforts to evolve and improve Google.”
In this video, Google shows you how fast the Google Chrome browser is through series of scientific and mechanical experiments. You read that right, I said scientific and mechanical. Check out the video and find out why this is the best comparison video I have ever seen.
YouTube has finally taken action on refining the look of its video player. Thanks YouTube.
Android Tries Harder
David Pogue writes about Google’s effort in pursuing iPhone developers to program for the Android platform.
““It shows that Google is actively recruiting developers to their platform, using the enticements of free hardware and open communication.”

This is an interesting look at how Google has improved/invaded our lives.
Google’s Response to Convicted Employees
“But we are deeply troubled by this conviction for another equally important reason. It attacks the very principles of freedom on which the Internet is built. Common sense dictates that only the person who films and uploads a video to a hosting platform could take the steps necessary to protect the privacy and obtain the consent of the people they are filming. European Union law was drafted specifically to give hosting providers a safe harbor from liability so long as they remove illegal content once they are notified of its existence. The belief, rightly in our opinion, was that a notice and take down regime of this kind would help creativity flourish and support free speech while protecting personal privacy. If that principle is swept aside and sites like Blogger, YouTube and indeed every social network and any community bulletin board, are held responsible for vetting every single piece of content that is uploaded to them — every piece of text, every photo, every file, every video — then the Web as we know it will cease to exist, and many of the economic, social, political and technological benefits it brings could disappear.”
