Record YouTube Video Films World Oldest

Did you know the longest and longest YouTube video ever uploaded? This video lasts 571 hours, one minute and 41 seconds or the equivalent of 23 days 19 hours. Like what? This video is the work of Jonathan Harchick (22). This video contains images of its journey to Chile two years ago. Harchick an iPhone application designer in Pittsburgh, and more on the technical achievements rather than artistic. For me, the challenge lies in the compression. Uploading a video for this on YouTube takes a lot of compression because this site gives a limit of 20GB video, he said. This man also has a site, MoldyToaster.com, which he describes as a web TV network. Through the site, Harchick 17 thousand videos have been uploaded. At the beginning of the video was uploaded last week, Harchick received 36 thousand visits a page. Some people bertaka wow when I saw this video while others argue this video is the stupidest video ever, he told the HuffPost. According to the web developer Joe Peacock, which makes it challenging is to watch this video, even Harchick can not do it. I am sure after watching this whole video, this video will change your life, certainly in a way that is not good, he concluded. (Here) Here's the video .

Inilah Mobil Tercepat di Dunia

Banyak pabrikan mobil dunia berlomba-lomba membuat mobil tercepat. Namun hanya ada satu mobil yang layak mendapat gelar mobil tercepat dunia. Apa itu?

Bugatti Veyron 16,4 Grand Sport dinobatkan sebagai mobil tercepat di dunia. Mobil seharga 1,1 juta GBP (Rp15,3 miliar) ini memiliki 987bhp 8 liter quad turbocharged W16 engine. Mobil ini mampu melaju di kecepatan 0-100 km/jam dalam 2,7 detik, seperti dilaporkan The Sun.

Selain itu, mobil ini mampu melaju dengan kecepatan maksimum 407 km/jam. Hal paling sulit saat mengendarai mobil ini adalah secara mental menjaga untuk tetap mengetahui apa yang sedang terjadi pada mobil, karena Anda bisa terus melaju tanpa merasa kehilangan kendali.

Hal paling mengesankan dari mobil ini adalah, makin cepat Anda melaju, mobil ini makin mencengkeram erat jalanan. Bagian dalam mobil ini sendiri sangat minimalis. Mobil ini hanya dibuat sebanyak 150 unit dan 40 di antaranya telah dipesan pelanggan tetap Bugatti. (inilah)

Simply Pleased To Meet You; Alexandra Stead - Franchisee

Hi I'm Alex!

I am 51 and cover the Harrogate, Wetherby and Skipton area. My venues include Rudding Park, The Old Swan, Devonshire Arms, Ripley Castle and Fountains Abbey.

Alex Stead

I, like many of the other franchisee's trained in the hotel industry both in the UK and abroad covering all aspects of hotel work including event management. I had often thought about joining the Simply Bows and Chair Covers team as I have known Sarah for many years and have a lot of admiration for her and the company but the timing was never quite right.

A change in circumstances recently led me to believe the time was now right and I jumped at the opportunity to be a part of this vibrant and continually expanding team of industry professionals. I love putting my energies into something that will have direct results for me rather than someone else and I love the satisfaction of making someone's big day even more special so this is perfect for me!

If I had to dress a celebrity wedding I would love to dress Zara Phillips' as I think it would be lavish yet tasteful. When I got married my theme was cream, purple and pink but if I could get married now with all of these amazing fabrics and ideas at my fingertips I would opt for black flock chair backs and matching table runners on butter linen; sophisticated yet has the wow factor!

If you are looking for a comprehensive range of venue dressing options and the scope to have a bespoke creation made just for you then get in touch now!

Scientists Reveal Cell Phone Not Cause Cancer

Contrary to the claims of the World Health Organization (WHO) some time ago, a number of independent panel of scientists actually found new evidence indicating that the phone actually does not cause cancer. "Despite lingering doubts, some new evidence that was collected just refuted the hypothesis that cell phone use can cause brain tumors among adults, "they wrote in Environmental Health Perspectives quoted Total Telecom, Tuesday (05/07/2011). The conclusion that following the publication of the analysis of the International Agency for Cancer Research that examines the effects Interphones against 13 countries. "The results of the Interphone studies and epidemiological studies, biological and other animal studies, as well as cases of brain tumors revealed that the use of mobile phones in the first 10 to 15 years are not directly associated with an increased risk of brain tumors in adults," clear Anthony Swerdlow of the Institute of Cancer Research UK. Nevertheless, Swerdlow warned that "the possibility of short-and long-term effects can not be eliminated just like that". According to Swerdlow, further studies on cancer risk level for the next few years will determine whether the phone has become one of the causes of brain tumors. "If there were no apparent effect until several years into the future, even though the phone has entered almost all Western countries, increasingly clear that no causal link between mobile phones with brain tumors, "he said. "Conversely, if there is a trend (increase in tumor disease) which can not be explained, the public must get answers to this," said Swerdlow.

Bisnis LCD, Hitachi Gandeng Toshiba & Sony

Rumor mengejutkan mencuat dari Jepang. Perusahaan elektronik Hitachi dikabarkan tengah berdiskusi dengan Toshiba dan Sony untuk meleburkan unit liquid-crystal display (LCD) mereka. Benarkah?

Setidaknya demikian kabar yang dilansir Reuters. Bukan hanya itu, Reuters juga mensinyalir Hitachi tengah mengadakan pembicaraan serupa dengan manufaktur raksasa Taiwan, Hon Hai Precision Industry Co.

Jika wacana itu terwujud, kerjasama ketiga raksasa elektronik Jepang itu tidak diragukan lagi akan menjadi pembuat small panel terbesar di dunia. Narasumber Reuters juga mengklaim kesepakatan ini bisa jadi bakal menarik minat Innovation Network of Japan, yang didanai pemerintah, untuk menyuntikkan dana hingga USD2,5 miliar kepada unit tersebut.

Toshiba dan Sony kabarnya memang tengah merencanakan merger guna menghadapi persaingan ketat di bisnis LCD dengan kompetitor Asia lainnya seperti Samsung.

Bisnis panel Hitachi sendiri belum cukup kuat untuk menghadapi kompetitor di pasar. Hitachi membutuhkan investasi besar secara reguler untuk bisa bertahan di tengah persaingan harga yang dinamis.

Persaingan itu akan semakin ketat menyusul pernyataan Sharp, yang notabene merupakan pembuat panel LCD terbesar, bahwa mereka akan mengalihkan fokus dari panel TV ke small panel
