The History of Youtube

Youtube was created in February 2005 by the three former PayPal employees, Steve Chen, Chad Hurley and Jawed Karim. A year later, Google bought Youtube for US$1.65 billion and is now operated as a subsidiary of Google. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals that each of them have their own purposes. It could be video clips, movie clips, tutorial clips, trailer clips, porn clips, daily life clips, video blogging, and other short original videos



Youtube, by far has become the world’s largest video on demand platform and its one of the most popular streaming video and audio sites where many people are searching for stuff they're interested in.


Google to Monetize Youtube

Google admits that they wants to monetize this site but they also admits that they still having a problem in monetizing YouTube. The problem is that advertisers are having trouble finding content they want to put ads with. Another problem is copyright. If you are the creator of that content, you own the copyright. That would have mean that you should have the rights to decide whether you want to advertising on your videos.

Now, Google is trying to push post-roll and pre-roll ads in all the video content. As NewTeeVee has point it out, these post-roll ads only appear if you do not click on the overlay ads while a video is playing. While in pre-rolls ads, a user has to finish watching such an ads before they can proceed to the video that they have already chosen to watch.

From Dashling @ D-Addicts:

KeyHoleTV is a Windows P2PTV application that broadcasts all the regular Japanese TV channels (with the exception of NHK) and the occasional American channel, webcam, or whatever random thing that might pop up. With this program, you can stream Japanese channels in real-time. The quality of the audio and video isn't that great, unfortunately. The sound can be downright terrible, especially when music performances or loud audiences are involved. But overall, it's decent enough to hold us over until the show is uploaded or a better-quality alternative comes along.

To install, go to http://www.v2p.jp/video/Viewer/ and download the latest installation file (currently version 2.13). It's updated somewhat often, so you may want to check back now and again.

The program is simple and pretty self-explanatory. To watch a channel, double-click the channel you want under the Program tab and you are set.

Internet Explorer (IE) as we know is one of free web browser that have been integrated into every Windows Operating System. But the fact is that they have the slowest browsing speed compared to Firefox But there is a trick to make it fast just like Firefox :

There are 4 ways that you can choose :

1. Megaupload Premium Generator

http://megahide.com
http://megatoad.com

Just Put your megaupload id & copy the download link into your download manager

e.g.: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PR6RYIEB, just put only PR6RYIEB

Tested by me & it's works 100%

2. Free Megaupload Premium Account [New Method]

1. Create a megaupload free account. Make sure you verify it.
2. Go to either of these sites: 1 or 2 . Enter your megaupload free accounts details (username and password).
4. Click Activate.
5. Wait for the confirmation saying that your account will be premium …
6. If the proxy server fails, check these site for alternatives 1 or this 2 for a list of websites offering proxies.

Tada! Your free account will be premium from 9AM to 3PM (or it depends on your time zone)
You can repeat this method everyday.
Enjoy….

3. How to get Megaupload Premium Account?

This tutorial teaches you on how to cheat the Megaupload slots system and get more download attempts.To have a chance on winning the premium account, click on the button (the icon with picture of 3 card) on the bottom of the userCP screen, left of the star icon. You can get 3 attempt everyday.

Now, how to get more attempt:
Go to: 10MinuteMail
Use the email address that is generated to create a million Megaupload free accounts.
Keep doing this until you win free premium:
Play the game using an account.
Reset your IP
Login using another account.
Play the game again.

If you manage to win 2 or more premium accounts, do share the extra accounts with everyone
Now, Megaupload is nice enough to offer us free premium. So, in return, we should click their ads once daily so that they can continue to stay in business!(nobody wants megaupload to go down someday or remove all these gr8 options because of lack of money)

================================================================

There are few other tricks to speed up Firefox. Check them out below:

1. Open Firefox.
2. Type about:config in the address bar and press Enter.

HTTP PIPELINING

HTTP is the application-layer protocol that most web pages are transferred with. In HTTP 1.1, multiple requests can be sent before any responses are received. This is known as pipelining. Pipelining reduces page loading times, but not all servers support it it.

In the filter bar type network.http.pipelining. Make sure under the value field is says true. If not double-click to set it.

Return to the filter bar and type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. Double-click this option and set its value to 8.

HTTP PROXY

Go to the filter bar and type network.http.proxy.pipelining. Once it opens double-click it to set it to true.

DNS

IPv6 was designed in part to solve the problem IPv4 will soon be facing: the exhaustion of all possible IP ADDRESSES. Mozilla implemented IPv6 support in early 2000, but that support did not receive widespread testing until recently as IPv6-capable OSs and network software/equipment became more common.

One particular bug that has appeared exists not in Mozilla, but in IPv6-capable DNS Servers: an IPv4 address may be returned when an IPv6 address is requested. It is possible for Mozilla to recover from this misinformation, but a significant delay is introduced.
Type network.dns.disableIPv6 in the filter bar and set this option to true by double clicking on it.

CONTENT INTERRUPT PARSING

This preference controls whether the application will interrupt parsing a page to respond to UI events. It does not exist by default.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.

Enter content.interrupt.parsing in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.

You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select true and click OK

CONTENT MAX TOKENIZING TIME

Rather than wait until a page has completely downloaded to display it to the user, Mozilla applications will periodically render what has been received to that point. This preference controls the maximum amount of time the application will be unresponsive while rendering pages.
Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

Enter content.max.tokenizing.time in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK

You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 2250000 and click OK

CONTENT NOTIFY INTERVAL

This preference specifies the minimum amount of time to wait between reflows. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

Enter content.notify.interval in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK

You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK.

CONTENT NOTIFY ONTIMER

This preference specifies whether to reflow pages at an interval any higher than that specified by content.notify.interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.

Enter content.notify.ontimer in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.

You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select true and click OK.

CONTENT NOTIFY BACKOFFCOUNT

This preference controls the maximum number of times the content will do timer-based reflows. After this number has been reached, the page will only reflow once it is finished downloading. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

Enter content.notify.backoffcount in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 5 and click OK

CONTENT SWITCH THRESHOLD

The user can interact with a loading page when content.interrupt.parsing is set to true. When a page is loading, the application has two modes: a high frequency interrupt mode and a low frequency interrupt mode. The high frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser more frequently to allow for greater UI responsiveness during page load. The low frequency interrupt mode interrupts the parser less frequently to allow for quicker page load. The application enters high frequency interrupt mode when the user moves the mouse or types on the keyboard and switches back to low frequency mode when the user has had no activity for a certain amount of time. This preference controls that amount of time. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

Enter content.switch.threshold in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 750000 and click OK

NGLAYOUT INITIALPAINT DELAY

Mozilla applications render web pages incrementally - they display what's been received of a page before the entire page has been downloaded. Since the start of a web page normally doesn't have much useful information to display, Mozilla applications will wait a short interval before first rendering a page. This preference controls that interval. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

Enter nglayout.initialpaint.delay in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 0 and click OK.

UI SUBMENU DELAY

This preference controls the time a menu takes to open a sub-menu. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

Enter ui.submenuDelay in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK

You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 0 and click OK.

PLUGIN EXPOSE FULL PATH

This preference shows full path to plugins in about:plugins. Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Boolean from the pop-up menu.

Enter plugin.expose_full_path in the New boolean value pop-up window and click OK.

You will be prompted to choose the value for the new boolean. Select true and click OK

BROWSER CACHE MEMORY CAPACITY

When a page is loaded, it can be cached so it doesn't need to be rerendered to be redisplayed. This preference controls the maximum amount of memory to use for caching decoded images and chrome (application user interface elements). Right-click (Apple users ctrl-click) anywhere in the about:config window and select New and then Integer from the pop-up menu.

Enter browser.cache.memory.capacity in the New integer value pop-up window and click OK.

You will be prompted to enter a value. Enter 65536 and click OK.
