<description><![CDATA[Oops.(Credit:Matt Hickey, Bonnie Cha/CNET)Users ofWindows Phone 7 handsets must have had high hopes when Microsoft released a patch yesterday that updated the operating system to improve the process of installing a forthcoming OS update. But some users, notably those with Samsung's Omnia 7, are reporting that the patch is bricking their phones, making them useless.It's not all Omnias, and we can't confirm if its happening on other Windows Phones, but there are reports on Web sites like WinRumors and Twitter that some users say the update is making their phones unusable. In response, Microsoft, via the Windows Phone support Twitter feed, recommends that affected users return to the store where they purchased them and exchange it for a new handset.When contacted today by CNET, Microsoft said it's reviewing the reports of bricking.&quot;We are investigating reports related to the Windows Phone update process and will provide additional information and guidance as it becomes available,&quot; a Microsoft spokesperson told CNET.The first major update for Windows Phone 7 is expected in the coming months, though Microsoft hasn't given a concrete date yet.Omnia users, have you had any luck, good or bad, with this new patch Let us know in the comments.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[YouTube confirmed today that it has acquired online video production and distribution company Next New Networks.Does that mean YouTube is actually going to start producing its own videos It sounds like the answer is no, according to a company blog post. YouTube says:At YouTube, wea4a4re focused on building a great technology platform for creators, and so we leave the actual creation of great videos to the people who do it best: our partners. This new group and the addition of the Next New Networks team doesna4a4t change that. But being a great platform for creators also means helping our partners get the tools and guidance they need to develop higher quality videos and drive bigger audiences to their work.So instead of asking the Next New Networks team to create videos, YouTube says it will become a a4Alaboratory for experimentation and innovationa4 working with a4Aa wide variety of content partners and emerging talent to help them succeed on YouTube.a4 To achieve this goal, the company is creating a new unit called YouTube Next.This approach seems pretty logical. YouTube has been notoriously unprofitable for Google for years now (though there are rumblings thata4a4s finally changing), in part because brands were leery about putting their advertising next to YouTubea4a4s user-generated content. Thata4a4s why YouTube wants to bring in more professional, high-quality videos. Partnerships are probably a more effective way to make that happen than creating the content itself.The acquisition price is less than $100 million, according to The New York Times, which first reported on the deal in December. Next New Networks has raised $26 million from Goldman Sachs, Velocity Interactive, Saban Media Group, Spark Capital, and others.Next Story: Event app HurricaneParty comes out swinging against competitors Previous Story: Charlie Sheen seeks social media intern a4&quot;will he pay in tiger bloodPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: video, YouTube NextCompanies: Google, Next New Networks, YouTube          Tags: video, YouTube NextCompanies: Google, Next New Networks, YouTubeAnthony is a senior editor at VentureBeat, as well as its reporter on media, advertising, and social networks.
