As you may have herd Viacom has filed a lawsuit against Youtube over copyrighted material posted on Youtube.It’s a lawsuit that, according to YouTube, will cause such video sites to “cease to exist in the current form,” but the lawsuit has lead to some interesting details. Viacom had hired 18 different marketing firms to upload content its content. The post said..
“[Viacom] deliberately “roughed up” the videos to make them look stolen or leaked. It opened YouTube accounts using phony email addresses. It even sent employees to Kinko’s to upload clips from computers that couldn’t be traced to Viacom.”
Wait, it gets much better! According to Levine, Viacom’s tactics were so good that the company didn’t even know which videos it had uploaded. This caused the company to request videos to be taken down, and only a little while later to ask them to be put back up. “In fact,” she claims, “some of the very clips that Viacom is suing us over were actually uploaded by Viacom itself.” You can read the full post at the Youtube Blog.

Most companies today are still pulling themselves out of the recession, and are starting to look for valuable employees with important skills. One of these skills includes Project Management, which attracts many employers because it can be applied to many positions. Project Managers in construction and software development earn salaries between $70,000 to $85,000 per year according to PayScale.com (a website that determines your salary based on your profession and skills).

Yes this is the best commercial Sony has ever done! They just told the world about the PlayStation move, but they have wasted no time shelling out ads making fun of Natal and attacking the Nintendo Wii.
Yes Windows Phone Series is going to have multitasking! Well sort of, third-party apps are actually left running in a suspended state (Microsoft calls it “dehydrated”) . If the user cycles back to an app, it’s resumed (“rehydrated”) and life continues on like nothing happened. Things like the zune player will have real multitasking and will be allowed to play in the background of apps. So unless in the final release of the OS, third party apps will not do ‘real’ multitasking.

This is a cool little trick that some people might not be aware of. I should point out that it should work in all browsers except IE6, but I don’t really care about that. You can search for a Javascript fix if needed.
So the concept is that when you hover over an element, any child element inside it will be shown.
This is very useful for dropdown navs. This is the CSS:
What expected more? You can complicate this a bit with various CSS selectors, but that’s the gist of it. First we set all elements with the class “dropdown” to display none. This will hide them until they are needed. Then when you hover over any li element within the wrapping element with an id of “nav”, we show the dropdown element.
Make sure to keep the “dropdown” or whatever element you need to be shown within whatever you’re hovering over it. Remember this is only using CSS, so you can’t make another element be shown if it’s not a direct child.
It’s a pretty simple trick, let me know if you have any trouble. Remember you’re not limited to just using <ul> or anything so let your imagination run wild (maybe a show spoiler thing?).
The IE9 platform preview has just been released. If you download the preview you can run a bunch of tests on the ‘Test Drive’ and see what cool new things the browser can do!In the keynote, Microsoft talks about HTML5 speeding up the current web, using hardware acceleration. It sounds like, from the keynote, that HTML5 is going to be the main feature of IE9.
With Internet Explorer 9, Microsoft will pull a last attempt on reclaiming the internet
