#Youtube Now Lets You View And Upload 360-Degree Videos Youtube has announced that it is now supporting 360-degree video uploads.
Some of the cameras that are compatible with Youtube 360-degree video uploads include Bublcam, 360cam by Giroptic, Allie by IC Real Tech, the SP360 by Kodak and the RICOH THETA.
This means that viewers can watch videos in any direction for a different perspective instead of just where the camera is facing.
said Youtube staff in a blog post. ou could let viewers see the stage and the crowd of your concert, the sky and the ground as you wingsuit glide,
When you upload a Youtube video with a 360-degree camera, the viewer is able to tap on the video
If you are using the Youtube app on an Android device then you can pan around the video simply by moving your smartphone and tablet around.
As of right now, the 360-degree Youtube videos are supported by just the Chrome browser on the desktop and the Youtube app on Android devices.
Youtube said that 360-degree videos will be supported on other platforms in the near future like the iphone and ipad.
Youtube also has plans to make the 360-degree videos accessible through virtual reality platforms, which is the best way to view immersive content.
The experience feels very similar to Google GOOGL-0. 94%Street view . If you are near the Youtube Space L a. studio on Bluff Creek Drive in Los angeles,
the Creator Tech team is letting people try out the 360-degree cameras and put together those types of videos with help from the staff between now through April.
When you are ready to upload 360-degree videos on Youtube, you can find technical information on Github with a Python script to insert the correct video metadata.
Youtube plans to make the process of uploading 360-degree videos automatic, but that script will be required in the meantime.
Keep in mind that the quality of the 360-degree videos are not as high as we see in the standard Youtube videos.
And the 360-degree videos take up about four-to-five times the bandwidth of regular Youtube videos.
Youtube set up a playlist of some 360-degree videos so that you can see multiple examples.
Here are a few examples of the new 360-degree videos on Youtube (watch these using Google chrome on your desktop
or the Youtube app for Android to see the 360-degree controls) e

These artists are not damning social media, but reminding fans that there is a spiritual and emotional connection between music and the listener,

#Facebook's first satellite will beam Internet to rural Africa starting in 2016 With the exception of a select few locations,
As result, only about 20 percent of the population is able to connect to the Internet.
Facebook hopes to change those statistics with a new project in its Internet. org initiative.
As part of this program, Facebook is partnering with French satellite communications provider Eutelsat to beam an Internet connection to remote parts of Africa."
"I'm excited to announce our first project to deliver Internet from space, "wrote Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in a Facebook posting.
Facebook is working with Eutelsat to provide Internet access to sub-Saharan portions of Africa via Eutelsat's new AMOS-6 geostationary satellite,
which will cover West, East and Southern Africa. Amazingly, the satellite will deliver affordable broadband Internet using off-the-shelf consumer equipment for connectivity
--so it'll be easy and cheap to build more of these satellites in the future. Eutelsat is setting up a new company in London to oversee its African broadband business
while Facebook will work locally in Africa to deliver Internet service to rural communities. The satellite-based service is expected to go online in mid-2016.
The African satellite project is part of Facebook's broader Internet. org initiative which debuted in 2013.
Through Internet. org, Facebook wants to connect the world by providing internet access to developing countries worldwide.
Internet. org was criticized highly for providing access only to Facebook and a handful of other web sites and services instead of the full, open internet.
Internet. org responded to critics by recently expanding its service to include any sites that meet Facebook's development criteria a

#Google just became part of a new company called Alphabet Today Google, the company, is smaller
while the Google universe seems to be expanding with the announcement by CEO Larry page of a new umbrella company called Alphabet,
which will include a stripped down Google focused on search and Internet products and other companies like Calico operating as subsidiaries of the new company.
The announcement came in a post on the Google company blog by Page that is also cross-posted on the new,
otherwise barren Alphabet home page.""Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable.
In essence, what yesterday was Google today is called Alphabet, but under the umbrella of the new name is owned a wholly subsidiary that will still be named Google focusing on Internet products.
Alongside the new, smaller Google within Alphabet will be a number of other companies working on disparate projects like the aforementioned longevity company, Calico,
a life sciences company working on a glucose-sensing contact lens, the lab formerly known as Google X and investment arms Google Ventures and Google Capital,
just for starters. Page will be CEO of Alphabet and Sergey Brin will be President. Sundar Pichai, who has been in charge of products at Google,
including Android, Chrome and Maps, will be the new CEO of the new, stripped-down Google. Although Page doesn't say so specifically,
it seems that some of the company's biggest properties like Android and Youtube will remain a part of the smaller Google.
Normally news of what is basically a corporate restructuring isn't so interesting except that it involves a company that is,
While Page is framing the structural change as a way for Google (erm Alphabet) to stay on its toes
According to one filing, Google and the other new subsidiaries of Alphabet will report separately to investors,

#Google logo history: A trip through search engine's gradually smoothening logo Google just launched a new logo the first major redesign in years,
and a reflection of the changing nature of the search engine in all of our lives. But the site has been on a gradual evolution
since it began in 1998, slow shedding the design of years past and becoming more smooth and less objectionable.
At its beginning, Google wasn called even by that name t launched as ackrub That site had a rather obvious picture at the top:
It became Google in late 1997. The look was a little reminiscent of Word Art of old:
At that time, the site was just as youthful. It was still functioning largely as a search engine for Stanford university,
as well as the web, and offered an explanation of what it was at the top with a little text box underneath.
Google also briefly got an exclamation mark in 1999. It disappeared a year later. That shouting logo would be the last very different one that the site would have.
Until today redesign the site stuck by its formula: two blue letters, two red and one yellow and one green, all in an entirely unobjectionable serif font.
The company would gradually change that look, moving letters around, softening the colours and getting rid of shadow,
