July 30, 2010 - Today’s most interesting stories in technology, media and entertainment:
YouTube’s 15 Minutes of Fame --Starting today,
YouTube will allow users to upload videos up to 15-minutes in
length, up 50 percent from the previous 10-minute limit. Not
only was extending the time the number one request from users,
but YouTube also believes they’ve taken significant measures
to protect copywriten videos from being uploaded.
Congress Takes A Gamble -- Congress is
reconsidering its ban on Internet gambling. With the
realization that the government could make significant revenue
by taxing online gambling sites, the House Financial Services
Committee approved a bill to legalize poker and other
non-sports betting online.
Verizon Users Hog Data -- Verizon
Wireless customers use 25 percent more data on their
smartphones than AT&T iphone users. A study from Validas
analyzed over 20,000 phone bills from customers of Verizon and
AT&T, and attributes the increase in data usage by Android
smartphone users at Verizon.
Enriched E-Books -- E-books get revamped
with video. Book publishers have begun to incorporate video in
their multimedia books, specifically designed for the iPad.
These enriched e-books embed the video clips directly in the
page, to enhance your reading experience.
