Why YouTube Videos Will Never Be Downloadable (Legally, Anyway)
YouTube, in its quest to make nice with copyright holders, has partnered with Nexicon, a Malibu-based digital rights management provider.
Under their arrangement, Nexicon will monitor YouTube for copyrighted material. When Nexicon identifies videos that violate a copyright, it will give the copyright owner the option to have the videos removed from the site or to leave them up and monetize them.
It's been more than a year since Google rolled out Video ID, an identification and content management system. And in that time, the company says content providers -- including Viacom -- are increasingly choosing to leave copyrighted videos up.

Trunk-cam reveals jungle secrets
Cameras held by elephants' trunks have been used to provide an intimate view of tigers in the jungle.
Because the big cats are used to the presence of elephants, the tusked giants were able to get far closer to them than a human film crew ever could.
Thanks to the "trunk-cams", the team was able to follow four newborn tiger cubs all the way through to adulthood.
The footage was recorded over a period of three years in the Pench National Park in India.

Yes! It's the handgun camcorder!
The term 'point and shoot' has been used by photographers for years. However, snappers’ images were never fatal - until the invention of a compact camera-cum-handgun, that is.
PistolCam is a camera unit that clips onto a variety of handguns. Once in place, and the deadly weapon’s removed from the holster, the gadget can be used to ‘shoot’ still images and videos.
