For years, YouTube has given all of us plenty of topics to talk about; Plenty of videos that made us laugh, and smile. But, while we are watching the content and videos that YouTube provides, YouTube is watching us, as well…

Just this Tuesday, an issue brought forth to a federal court by Viacom concerning copyright infringing content on YouTube, got a ruling by the judge, that all user’s personal information while on YouTube, such as user I.D, I.P address, and a record of every video that a user has ever watched on YouTube, must be given to Viacom to keep a “record” of how many YouTube viewers watch copyright infringed material as opposed to regular videos. YouTube and Google argued that the content and material that a user watches and experiences while on the internet is extremely personal information, and should therefore be kept to the user only.

“Because the tracker and concentrator are transparent, an artistic
pattern could be put onto the panel, making it possible to use it on a building facade”

Do you ever get sick of watching a massive panda get kicked in the
air by a small furry animal?  Probably not, but it can be disconcerting
when it’s fall is messed up, and tends to get on the nerves after too
much of this.  However, thanks to a new class called “Physics of
Animation,” this might change soon.

While it’s not cold fusion, scientists have come closer to actual nuclear fusion.  Since temperatures upwards of 100 million degrees Celsius are required for nuclear fusion to work, and while there’s nothing on Earth that is naturally that hot, scientists have come closer to producing it artificially.
