<description><![CDATA[Great drugstore bargain, or ominous watch of terror(Credit:Scott Stein/CNET)Turns out the government's concerned about the threat possibilities of a low-tech piece of equipment--one that I just discovered on my own wrist.Around the time I started working at CNET, I bought a Casio watch from my local Duane Reade pharmacy. My other watch broke, I just had a kid, and having a watch made things easier: no fishing for myiPhone while holding the baby, plus it had a stopwatch for timing feedings.Who knew my watch would become this infamous According to training document on Wikileaks, the Casio F91W watch was worn on the wrist of a large number of Guantanamo Bay detainees, and has been linked to the manufacture of explosive devices. As I read this story, I glanced down at my very similar-looking watch, then checked the model number. It was different.Of course, then I read that the document includes the metal-banded A159W, too. Mine is technically the A158W. Still, it's essentially the same watch.What does this all mean Will I now get an extra shakedown at airports Will my watch be removed The truth is, there are several good reasons anyone--detainees, myself, or otherwise--would use this watch: it's cheap, versatile, and reliable. I can't remember the last time a cheap little gadget was given such an ignominious label, especially one that can be gotten for so little at nearly any corner store.Despite its apparent newfound fame in security circles, I won't be taking my Casio off. It works well. It doesn't cause me problems. Hopefully, neither will my next airport security check.(Source: Gizmodo via Boing-Boing via The Guardian--and thanks to Dan Ackerman for pushing me to write about it)<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[YouTube today is flipping on the switch to let some of its users stream videos live.The move marks a big shift in the functionality of the video-hosting service, which up until now has been designed to let users upload videos they've already taken. Under the new system, they can simply hit a button and be streaming video live to other users.In a post today announcing the feature, the company said the new live feature is only being rolled out to a select group of users, specifically YouTube partners.&quot;The goal is to provide thousands of partners with the capability to live stream from their channels in the months ahead. In order to ensure a great live stream viewing experience, we'll roll this offering out incrementally over time,&quot; the company wrote on the YouTube blog.The shift to live video streaming has been a long time coming for YouTube. In a video interview from early 2008, YouTube co-founder Steve Chen said the company planned to roll it out by the end of the year. YouTube followed through with a live concert, in part to help test its scaling capabilities, then began using it to live-stream some of its events, including press conferences and its I/O developer series.In September of last year, YouTube expanded its live-streaming efforts to some additional partners, including Next New Networks, which the company ended up acquiring last month. By adding live video streaming, YouTube joins a handful of other companies that offer the feature to both consumers and businesses. That list includes Brightcove, Ustream, Justin.TV, Kyte, and Livestream. Live video streams are also likely to play a big part in YouTube's reported plan to bring original content series to its programming lineup, paving the way for real-time news shows and other live broadcasts. In the meantime, Google continues to group together live content on a special page, along with its other content channels.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
