“Our goal is to catalyze the creation of new ideas and production models from some of our most innovative and original content partners,” said George Strompolos, partner development manager at Google-owned YouTube.
“We’ve been amazed by the creativity and resourcefulness of many of our partners,” Strompolos said. “Some, operating on shoestring budgets, have been able to produce incredible videos, generate substantial revenues and command an audience that rivals that of network television.

An experimental solar powered aircraft landed on Thursday at 9.01 am (0701 GMT) in western Switzerland, after completing a historic flight lasting some 26 hours.
AFP reporters watched the experimental Solar Impulse aircraft with pilot Andre Borschberg onboard make a seamless landing at Payerne airbase in western Switzerland about three hours after daybreak.
“It’s the first time ever that a solar airplane has flown through the night,” said team chief Bertrand Piccard earlier.
“That was the moment that proved the mission was successful, we made it,” he told journalists.
The high-tech single-seater aircraft had taken off from Payerne in the early hours (0451 GMT) of Wednesday, in the first ever attempt of such a manned flight on purely solar energy, defying the hours of darkness to keep aloft for a day and a night. [Read more...]

Russia Launches Second Stealth Warship For India
June 24, 2010 By
Russia launched the second of three stealth frigates for the Indian Navy under USD 1.6 billion deal inked in July 2006.
The launching ceremony of the missile frigate Tarkash (Quiver) in Russia’s Baltic exclave of Kaliningrad, was attended by senior Russian and Indian naval officials, state-owned Yantar shipyard said in a release.
The first of three Project 11356 (modified Krivak III) frigates, named the Teg (Sword), was launched in last November.
The third frigate, Trikand (Bow) is due to be delivered in 2011-12.
The new frigates, also known as Talwar class, will be armed with eight BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles.
They will be also equipped with a 100-mm gun, a Shtil surface-to-air missile system, two Kashtan air-defence gun/missile systems, two twin 533-mm torpedo launchers, and an antisubmarine warfare (ASW) helicopter.
Earlier, Russia’s Baltiisky Zavod shipyard had built three stealth frigates of the same class – INS Talwar, INS Trishul and INS Tabar.
Continuing the tradition of the Indian Navy to name naval ships of the same class with same letter in the beginning, President Pratibha Patil during her Russia visit last September had christened the new frigates as the Teg, the Tarkash and the Trikand at various stages of completion at Yantar Shipyard.
