YouTube is one of the most influential platforms in modern media, but its origin story is surprisingly simple: a small team wanted an easier way to share video online. In the early 2000s, uploading and sending video files was slow, formats were inconsistent, and most websites weren’t built for smooth playback. YouTube’s founders focused on removing those barriers—making video sharing as easy as sending a link. Who Founded YouTube? YouTube was founded by three former PayPal employees: Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim. They combined product thinking, engineering skills, and a clear user goal: create a website where anyone could…

It does feel like I've bitten off too much and am now chewing like crazy this week. The 3D printing talk with Elle in Oslo, the "normal" NDC infosec talk, the cyber-broken talk with Scott in Copenhagen and then those ratbag hackers keep dumping more data too! Oh, and still finalising all the IoT door lock stuff, along with mapping out all the cameras, APs and door hubs in Ubiquiti's designer to make sure we don't miss anything there. It's ordered chaos… just.
Apple’s future now officially depends on its new CEO, ex-hardware chief John Ternus. An era has officially drawn to a close. After 15 historic years leading Apple, Tim Cook has stepped down as CEO, handing the keys to hardware engineering chief John Ternus. Cook is not leaving Apple completely.
