Question: How does the new YouTube download technology work and why is it so much faster? Can you tell users what’s the secret to its speed?

Answer: Rather than just using one download connection to download a video, use ten.

YouTubeFreeDownloader.com opens (TEN) separate download connections/workers that are each assigned to a different part of the video to download. So each of the ten workers download a different part of the video at the same time.

This takes advantage of YouTube’s initial speed burst that YouTube sends out at the beginning of the watch request. This results in download speeds ten times faster, in excess of 5MB/sec. Ten download threads will most likely max out most users broadband pipes. In some tests, with excellent broadband, testers have actually exceeded 10 megabytes per second with full videos being downloaded in less than five seconds.

The technical name for the multi-connection streaming technology is known as pseudo video streaming. Pseudo video streaming is where a video player makes a watch request to start a video streaming from a specified section of a video. To learn more about pseudo video streaming please visit:

Fruit Ninja, the fruit-slashing Iphone and Facebook App, is now a trending discussion in various Chatwing chatrooms. Fans of the application are now exchanging tips and hints that can improve everyone’s game play. Adding to that, these players are competing for online leaderboard scores. Chatwing’s developers are always keeping in touch with these fans in order to provide an efficient communication service.

Chatwing’s main goal is to provide an efficient chat widget and clear stream of communication for people all around the world. Its developers believe that this can be achieved by proper implementation of website chat. This is a strong reason why large percentage of Fruit Ninja fans has chosen the widget to communicate with others. Chatwing also gives people the chance to log in with their Facebook accounts. Aside from exchange of tips, people can now send out Facebook invitations to each other.

Since Chatwing is a widget, it can also be installed to most blogs and websites. To do this, the user must undergo domain registration and account creation. Following that, customization takes place. The user can edit the appearance of the shout box. Height and width can be adjusted by dragging sliders, while colors can be matched to create perfect hues. The chat box can also be renamed. Casual game bloggers, especially those who write about Fruit Ninja, have used the chat application to drive traffic to their blog. With that, they observed moderate spikes of visibility in just a week.

Easy installation is also one of the strong features of Chatwing. Bloggers can install it within seconds, and they can also customize the widget. Any color or hue is possible and the title can also be changed. After registration and installation, the user can now retrieve the HTML code and embed it to a blog or website’s custom design panel.

Online backups have been allowing people to store files, whether domestic or corporate, offsite since 2008. People can save data on other devices, of course, such as CD or memory stick, (and, before these were developed, floppy disk) but these are devices that can get damaged or lost. Computers, especially laptops, can be lost or stolen, and they can also be corrupted or damaged by fire or flood, so important documents and other files need to be kept safe but available. However, the devices that are used for backing up also need to be kept safe; many people back up their data on to, say, a CD, only to leave the CD in the vicinity of the computer itself; even kept in the same house could prove disastrous should the house catch fire or suffer a burglary. Another more reliable way was needed, but one that was safe, secure, efficient, and easy to use.

Dropbox created the concept of online backups, having recognised the demand for such a service before anyone else had even thought it was possible; the system it developed eased its users’ file storage and safety worries, and soon picked up a respectable fan base. Indeed, many of its users are happy with the system that Dropbox provides for them and, if questioned, would be reluctant to change; human nature being what it is, people are willing to put a lot of research into something new but, once they have made their decision, all they then want is to be reassured by it. Today, though, advances in technology move at break-neck speed, and what seems ideal one day can look distinctly outdated the next; online backups are no exception to this, and Dropbox can no longer take its users for granted.

Online backup solutions are not only proliferating, each new one is being developed with a firm eye on the competition. The one that offers the most for the least amount of outlay, will be the one that takes centre stage. Even so, no online backup service today can afford to sit back and relax.

New services are being launched all the time, and that place at the top of the online backup tree is continually there for the taking. While Dropbox may have started the idea, and collected many followers as it evolved, other pretenders to the throne have not been far behind; now, some of them have caught up, and are poised to take them down.

Google Drive, launched in April this year, is rapidly taking the spotlight away from Dropbox. In the Which? Text Daily report of 25 April, Google Drive is described as ‘Google’s Dropbox Killer’ a title that should strike fear into the heart of Dropbox implying, as it does, the demise of Dropbox itself.

What matters to potential users:

Online Storage Capacity:
Dropbox and Google Drive offer the same basic service but with some notable differences, not least the amount of file storage capacity. Dropbox’s free 2GB, compared to Google Drive’s 5GB, also free, looks mean. Even Google Drive’s paid-for storage offers greater value for money. Dropbox really needs to increase the amount of storage it provides.

Pricing:
Prices vary depending on the plan chosen by the user but, overall, Dropbox’s paid-for options are dearer than Google Drive’s, and offer less storage. As time goes on, file storage capacity will be one of the over-riding priorities for potential online backup users when they are deciding which system to use. Dropbox needs to make this one of their priorities, too.

Many of Dropbox’s users are fiercely loyal to its service, although this probably has more to do with the fact that they are used to how it works, than for any other reason. Most people prefer to stay with something they know, but this loyalty cannot be taken for granted. Complacency has destroyed many a previously-thriving corporation, so an awareness of what is going on in the wider world is essential.

It would be a good idea right now for Dropbox to wake up and take a good look outside its own bubble. OK, it did command the top spot, and so it deserved to; after all, online backups is Dropbox’s baby but, to avoid getting left behind, it needs to up its game, starting today.

FreedomPop, the disruptive new wireless broadband internet company, announced it will officially begin taking orders today for its new 4G iPhone Sleeve. FreedomPop plans to launch its beta program this summer where users will be given up to 1GB of free data every month.

This comes at a time when other mobile carriers, including AT&T and Verizon are increasing prices for broadband data plans and charging exiting customer additional fees to upgrade devices. “The timing couldn’t be better for our product,” said Mauricio Sastre, FreedomPop’s VP of Product. “Carriers are throttling data and increasing prices and users are desperate for affordable alternatives. As the mobile industry flexes its joint oligopolistic power, we want to ensure that we are keeping them honest,” added Sastre.

With FreedomPop’s Freedom Sleeve, users will be able to supplement existing plans with free data or even replace wireless internet plans altogether. The 4G iPhone Sleeve not only unleashes the iPhone at speeds up to 10x current 3G, but also allows up to 8 other devices to connect to it and doubles as a battery charger that can extend battery life up to 6 hours. “FreedomPop is one step closer to disrupting the wireless broadband internet market and providing all Americans with access to free, fast, reliable wireless internet on the most popular mobile device in the world” added Sastre.

The 2012 version of the Sony flagship HX8 television will be available in store on the 10th May. The HX8 has been designed to deliver against what really matters when it comes to TVs; providing top class entertainment shown with outstanding picture quality.

Non-stop Entertainment is provided through the Sony Entertainment Network allowing you to catch up on TV programmes you’ve missed with BBC iPlayer or the latest blockbusters from Video Unlimited. New for 2012 is the inclusion of Netflix so you can watch whole seasons of your favourite TV series. This is all packaged in a new user interface, accessed through the press of the dedicated “SEN” button on the remote control.

If you’ve got the best entertainment available then you’re going to want to watch it in the best possible quality. The HX8 offers fantastic detail, colour and movement control to give a stunning real-life picture.

Details are made pin-sharp through the Sony X-reality Pro technology, which cleverly compares the scene on the screen with a built-in database of images to replicate minute details such as texture, allowing you to see everything exactly as the cameraman witnessed it. The X-reality Pro technology is now even applied to 3D giving more depth and detail then ever before.

What’s more, the X-Reality processor adjusts the picture to give real-life colours by then by analysing each scene intelligently. However, it’s the HX8’s performance on dimming lit scenes that really mark it out from the crowd. A sophisticated method of backlighting utilising LEDs on both sides of the screen that adjust in small clusters gives much greater control over which parts of the screen are dark or light. So you’ll never miss the detail in that dimly lit scene.

It’s also designed to handle fast paced action like a tennis match, or a sweeping shot as the camera pans from right to left or a 3D movie as it employs a 200hz native panel, complementing this with Sony’s motionflow technology. This allows the TV to move between frames at the maximum possible speed, delivering smooth blur free imagery.

The HX8 is not only designed to deliver the best possible picture quality. It’s also been crafted to accentuate the look of your living room. Made from a single sheet of jet-black gorilla glass, sitting on an elegant chrome stand the HX8 looks as stunning off as it does on. This chrome stand actually doubles as a sound bar to improve the sound and really bring what you’re watching to life.

It may seem hard to believe but a TV that excels in so many ways can actually save you money. The Energy Saving Trust has recognised the efficiency of Sony televisions and concluded that choosing an Energy Saving Trust Recommended Sony television over a similarly sized new Plasma Screen TV can not only save you money, but can also reduce your household’s carbon footprint.

Informa Analyst Viewpoint On The Launch Of Samsung’s Galaxy S III

Malik Saadi, Principal Analyst at Informa Telecoms & Media comments on the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S III.

Today, Samsung introduced the third generation of its flagship smartphone brand, the Galaxy S III.

The phone will be branded as the official 2012 Olympics phone. This device belongs to the super-phone category of smartphones which also includes HTC One X, the forthcoming iPhone 5 and LG Optimus 2X.

According to Informa Telecoms & Media, the super-phone market will generate above 50 million units in terms of sales by the end of 2012.

Galaxy S III will certainly enable Samsung to reinforce its position as the leading vendor in this market.

It will also enable the South Korean consumer electronics giant to maintain its leadership as the dominant Android manufacturer, with an estimated one-third market share by end of 2012 (see attached).

What is unique about the Galaxy S III is the level of intelligence Samsung has created around its embedded features and sensors which takes smartphone innovation into another league. The device’s features are capable of communicating with each other and sharing information, enabling it to react intuitively and automatically to an action taken by the user. For example, the phone can recognise a face in a picture taken with the camera and will associate it with a contact saved in the address book. The phone will then automatically save the picture in a relevant file (e.g. family, friends, colleagues), tag it, and suggest you should upload it to facebook or Twitter.

While the Galaxy S III will be highly desirable for enthusiastic and advanced users, Samsung will have to build on the already popular Galaxy brand and push it hard to various distribution channels before the iPhone 5 is launched. However, Samsung will find it hard to convince and educate the typical mobile phone user to adopt and use all the advanced experiences enabled by this phone. In this specific segment, Samsung Galaxy S III is unlikely to meet with great success, at least in the early stages after launch.

The casing of the Galaxy S III is another weakness, as it’s based on the usual plastic casing found in most of Samsung’s phones and doesn’t do justice to the device’s impressive features. Samsung needs to learn from the likes of Nokia and Apple which use high-quality materials and the best designs for casing their premium devices.

Galaxy S III could, potentially, also cannibalize sales of some of its popular smartphones including Galaxy Note, Galaxy S II, and Galaxy Nexus. Therefore, Samsung will have to come up with a well-structured price segmentation, where Galaxy S III addresses the premium price points while the existing Galaxy devices enter the lower price points to widen the audience of the overall Galaxy brand.
