Some YouTube Users Say Goodbye to Time Limits

That's right folks! Some YouTube users, myself and Drroxxette included, have found the time limits on their videos miraculously disappearing! 


So what exactly does this mean? My guess is that YouTube is beginning to roll out time limitless videos for all their users instead of just partners. That or they're simply dangling a carrot in front of some users while denying others the chance to jump for it. 


Could this be the start of new Partnership offers or could this simply be a slow-going roll out of time limitless videos for YouTube? We'll just have to wait and see to find out. 


Check out a screencap under the break to see what the upload screen tells you if you've been selected for this privilege too! 


Have you been given the option for longer uploads yet? Or if you don't post videos, would you like to watch longer videos from non-partners? Or do you like the fifteen minute limit? 

WTF -- Google - "We Use Your Shit And Don't Pay You!"

 

 

So, it turns out that Google's decided to find an easy way to advertise. The EULA (End User License Agreement) basically states that Google has free reign over whatever you post to the internet through the Chrome browser. So if you're a blogger, Google can use anything you posted to your blog with the Chrome browser for anything they'd like without having to pay you. The same goes for anything uploaded to Flickr, or posted to Facebook, Myspace. This includes music accounts! If you're a musician and you've uploaded something to your Myspace Music through Chrome, you could hear your song pop up in a Google ad sometime soon. 

Past the Jump for EULA terminology. 

Google Browser -- Chrome

 

Google's taken a leap and entered the mainstream browser run. You can add Chrome to the list of browsers you spout off whenever someone asks how to access the net. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome? 

Some of the features include:
- New JavaScript engine called V8 for faster performance
- "Special tabs" above the window, not below the address bar (see image above)
- Address bar auto-completion
- Opera-like "Speed Dial" with thumbnails of your most visited 9 websites
- Privacy mode
- Web apps can be launched in their own window without addressbar/toolbar
 

Chrome definitely sounds interesting. I haven't had a chance to try it out for myself just yet as there's no Mac or Linux version up yet. But you Windows users out there can try out the beta, if they can find it. I haven't been able to locate the exact download page just yet.
