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 .

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

Extinct Human Ancestors in Asia
The theory of human evolution has recently countered after scientists found evidence that the ancestors of modern humans may become extinct much earlier than originally expected. Homo Erectus referred to as a direct ancestor of Homo sapiens. Homo erectus migrated out of Africa approximately 1.8 million years ago. Then approximately 500 thousand years ago they disappeared from Asia and the majority of the Asian region, some able to survive in Indonesia to 35 thousand years ago. Recent research has refuted the notion and said that Homo erectus became extinct long before the emergence of Homo sapiens in Asia. Excavation as well as the latest analysis indicates that Homo erectus became extinct at least 143 thousand years ago, and probably more than 550 thousand years ago. Clearly, this study challenged the hypothesis of 'Out of Africa' which argues that before modern humans evolved in Africa, before migrating to other continents. The study predicts a period between Homo Sapiens with other species that they replace outside the African region. Evidence of the persistence of Homo erectus in Indonesia could be used as evidence to support this theory. (Okezone / dailymail)
