Thanks to the wonder of the Internet, many of us have had the pleasure of watching live-streams of NASA’s space shuttles launching, some of which even follow the action into space and allow us to watch the astronauts doing astronaut things. In space. This week’s video gives you a whole new perspective of a shuttle launch.

We had a feeling YouTube would do this eventually, seeing that they kept increasing the maximum video length over the last several months. They have now completely gotten rid of a maximum video length, which means you can now upload that 45-minute long video of your mom singing different renditions of ‘When the Saints Go Marching In.’ However, this only applies to YouTubers who have been good boys/girls.

“…we’ll begin allowing selected users with a history of complying with the YouTube Community Guidelines and our copyright rules to upload videos that are longer than 15 minutes.”

As of now, there’s really no quick way to see if the limit as been lifted for you except to upload a video longer than 15 minutes and just see if it applies the limit or not.

Because of an embarrassing mistake on my part, we had to create a new YouTube account. Please subscribe to it HERE and unsubscribe from the old account. Our old account’s channel is still accessible and the videos can still be watched, but we just don’t have admin access to it anymore, so this is why we have created a new account. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, epiphanies, etc., please let us know in the comments. Thanks for your cooperation. That is all.

It was announced not too long ago that YouTube would be supporting 1080p videos and now it’s officially happening. One of the first 1080p vids to make it onto YouTube is none other than a Muppets version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. We’ve embedded the video after the break for you to watch, but in order to have the ability to switch between 720p and 1080p, you’ll have to go to YouTube’s site and view the video from there (which can be found here). Be sure to view it in full screen!
