Your Interview with the President - This is why I love the Obama administration and the President though I’m not a resident of the United States. It’s a Google+ Hangout with some selected civilians talking to the president through video conferencing in the Hangout. Awesome.

BMW Highly Automated Driving Mode. Google, Mercedes and BMW are all developing systems that let cars drive themselves. It’s only a matter of a few years before we are using these ourselves.

Why the Feds Smashed MegaUpload
From the article:
The indictment goes after six individuals, who between them owned 14 Mercedes-Benz automobiles with license plates such as “POLICE,” “MAFIA,” “V,” “STONED,” “CEO,” “HACKER,” GOOD,” “EVIL,” and—perhaps presciently—”GUILTY.” The group also had a 2010 Maserati, a 2008 Rolls-Royce, and a 1989 Lamborghini. They had not one but three Samsung 83” TVs, and two Sharp 108” TVs. Someone owned a “Predator statue.” Motor bikes, jet skis, artwork, and even 60 Dell servers could all be forfeit to the government if it can prove its case against the members of the “Mega Conspiracy.”
Damn. Didn’t know MegaUpload did such good business AND that they were aware of illegal content hosted through their site. Read it, pretty insightful.

This is the first video uploaded to YouTube in 2005 by one of the founders. I came across the description of this video in the article ‘Will Robert Kyncl and YouTube Revolutionize Television?’. I thought it was fun to google for it and it popped up as the first hit.
