-Ever since google acquired YouTube everyone's been wondering what will happen to Google Video since they essentially offer the same services. For the time being the two have soldiered on independently and [according to the Google Blog][1] that will continue, but the focus may change.

YouTube operates separate from the rest of Google and while I'm sure Google helps out, primary development is still in the hands of YouTube co-founders Chad Hurley and Steve Chen.

Google Video on the other hand will apparently be morphing into some sort of video search engine that catalogs content, according to the Google Blog, "irrespective of where it may be hosted."

Essentially it sounds like Google Video might turn into something like Google Image Search. Is Google trying to get back to its search roots?

*	As part of its drive to promote Windows Vista, Microsoft has [reportedly partnered up with T-Mobile][1] to offer free Hotspot Wi-Fi access for 90 days starting Friday. Details are few, but we do know this, you'll need a laptop running Windows Vista.

*	Opera has [released][2] the special slimmed down version of its web browser for the OLPC project to the general public. The lightweight version of Opera is "almost a normal desktop build," which means it can compile on any Linux machine.

*	A url hack has been [found in MyBlogLog][3] which can trick innocent members of MyBlogLog into joining your community in one click. Should be a boon for spammers.

*	MySpace and GoDaddy get to share the Jackass of the Week award for [taking down][4] the website SecLists.org. The site's owner writes: "Instead of simply writing me (or abuse_at_seclists.org) asking to have the password list removed, MySpace decided to contact (only) GoDaddy and try to have the whole site of 250,000 pages removed because they don't like one of them."

*	Norway's consumer ombudsman has [declared iTunes illegal][1]. Norway says that because iTunes does not allow downloaded songs to be played on rival technology companies' devices, it violates Norway's consumer protection laws. The ombudsman has set a deadline of October 1 for the Apple to make its codes available to other technology companies or face closure orders. I'm all for getting rid of DRM, but by this logic wouldn't OS X be illegal as well since it only runs on Apple hardware?

*	Fox has [subpoenaed YouTube][2] seeking the names of users who uploaded "24" and "Simpsons" episodes to the popular video sharing site. While some networks like CBS have come to realize that YouTube videos actually raise the view audience of TV shows, Fox apparently hasn't gotten that memo and continues its long standing run as the red-headed stepchild of TV networks (no offense to red-headed stepchildren intended).

*	In possibly related news, Americans are smarter than I thought. Despite the efforts of the RIAA, MPAA and others, most Americans [do not equate downloading with theft][3] (the Supreme Court has repeated ruled that copyright infringement does not equate to theft). Solutions Research Group reports that only 40 percent of Americans think downloading is a serious offense on par with shoplifting a CD.

*	Slyck, a tech news site I was previously unaware of, has posted a great [interview with muslix64][4] the hacker who cracked the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray encryption schemes. Muslix64 calls his (her?) efforts "fair use enforcement."
