Six ans avec YouTube

La plateforme YouTube est née le 14 Février 2005 et ce sont trois employés de Paypal qui en sont à l’origine Chad Hurley, Steve Chen et Jawed Karim. Le siège de l’entreprise fut respectivement un pizzeria puis un restaurant Japonais. La première vidéo téléchargée sur la plateforme le 23 avril 2005 est « Me at the zoo » elle montre Jawed Karim, un des créateurs au Zoo de San Diego. En mai 2005 youtube ouvre au public en béta test. Entre Novembre 2005 et Avril 2006 la société fait une levée de fonds de 11,5 millions de dollars (Sequoia Capital).  En octobre 2006 Google rachète YouTube pour un montant de 1,65 milliards de dollars (en actions de la firme), l’accord est signé le 13 Novembre 2006.

En 2007 on estime que YouTube a lui seul utilise l’équivalent de la bande passante totale de l’internet en 2000. Aujourd’hui YouTube affiche plus de 3 milliards de vidéos chaque jour et chaque minute ce sont  48 heures de vidéos qui sont téléchargées vers la plateforme…

IMPROBABLY CONNECTED THINGS OF THE DAY Why Would Police Confuse Bitcoin Miners with Marijuana Growers? by Robert Quigley | 1:54 pm, May 25th Bitcoins are a P2P-based digital currency produced by siccing computers’ horsepower on solving difficult, time-intensive math problems. As we mentioned in our article on browser-based Bitcoin generation, the cost of the electricity it takes to produce Bitcoins on average exceeds the monetary value of Bitcoins produced, but that hasn’t stopped some folks from trying their luck at Bitcoin mining anyway, sometimes working alone, sometimes in pools. As it turns out, all that electricity use has its downside: Namely, it can make serious Bitcoin miners look like marijuana growers to police. (Marijuana farmers use up a ton of electricity on lights to grow the plants indoors.) Now, there are (possibly apocryphal) stories among the Bitcoin community that some miners have had their homes raided or even been arrested when local police confused one kind of electricity-intensive activity for the other. And high electricity bills can be used as probable cause for issuing a search warrant. According to one IRC chat on the subject: Given the libertarian leanings among many of the people to whom an untraceable, P2P currency would have appeal, don’t expect it to go over well if Bitcoin-prompted police raids become a thing in the future.

The Xperia Play version of Minecraft will receive “optimizations” to have it run well on the smaller screen, as well as so it can be played more efficiently with the iconic PlayStation button layout. A release date and more specific details of the port have not yet been disclosed, nor has the length of the timed exclusive period, but an iOS version and Android version will hit other phones once that timed exclusivity is up.
