The increasing manifestation of gang and gun culture on TV and Internet has become a real headache for several countries around the world and now the think tanks of these countries are trying to curb it by implementing new media rules and regulations. In such a bid, YouTube has also banned all those submissions that show guns and knives in a positive way.

The new rule has been implemented because of an investigative report from The Times’ that noticed some failings in YouTube’s monitoring system.

A spokesperson for Google, who owns the website said about the new ruling: “The particular concern is over those videos that show weapons to threat or bullying the people and this area is really needed to be addressed. Read the rest of this entry »

Malware is a gigantic company and set like the Albanian hackers are endeavoring to cash in, making use of the newest Web 2.0 gears, collective net outlines, blogs, and other publicly accessible media and web pages. The digital desperado has been stirring increasingly into wide range publicity and trademark construction on civic sites and set-up to grow up their subversive deal.

But stay a while how people flee with advertising curriculums for contravention into your computer or thieving your distinctiveness? Undemanding: advertising of the malware is not in a straight line illegitimate in the United States of America and in the near by vicinities. Simply using it is against the law.

Top video-sharing web site “YouTube” announced its expansion plans and offered its latest mobile specific features for its users this week. These new features of ‘You Tube’ include an added access to a large catalog of mobile videos. Most of the features like this were available as the desktop versions only until recently.

Mobile devices users will find these new additions at ‘YouTube’ and would be able to choose from tens of millions of videos, according to the company. However, users are required to have a ‘streaming-capable mobile phone device with 3G technology’. This is a necessary requirement for matching the compatibility with the high-speed data access over cellular networks. Many of such popular cellular networks including the U.S. carriers Alltel, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon Wireless have all rolled out 3G networks capable of supporting ‘streaming capable multimedia phones’.

Users of the Apple iPhone have an added advantage with the in built facility of this type. Apple’s popular iPhone comes with a preloaded YouTube application. The iPhone on the other side has no support for the ‘3G Technology’. Because of this inability, the video-streaming experience can be sluggish at times for the iPhone users. However, the streaming becomes much faster over Wi-Fi connections.

Up until now, Google Video’s bigger video size limit has made it the leading video website for larger, higher quality videos. However, YouTube just announced a new windows desktop uploader that will allow the users to upload a large amount of videos each time. The file size limit has also been raised a whooping 900 megabytes (900 MB), which brings it to 1 gigabyte (1GB) per video. Even though the limit has been raised 10 times the previous amount, the maximum duration of each clip remains at a mere 10 minute - so it looks like YouTube will not be competing too much with Google on the longer videos.  This response seems to be in conjunction with a competing video site, Vimeo, which recently allowed High-Definition video uploads.

Even with YouTube’s setbacks on their video length limits, it seems that many people would still rather split their videos just so they can put it on the world’s largest video website - and it is possibly due to the higher exposure they will get. This new limit on video size should bring even more people to YouTube and for the existing members; this will further justify the reasons to stay a loyal user.
