You tube has some of the amazing videos. Any tool can be used for good or bad, it is true with YouTube as well. It can be used for education or just for wasting time. It is up to the user. I have found Education section, especially management section, to be of great help.
I would like to share the following video of Steve Jobs. Details for the video:

"Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar A

Eating dogs and cats–which is an age-old delicacy in China–could soon be against the law.

It’s the nation’s first law against such animal abuse. Currently, dog and cat meat is viewed as promoting bodily warmth. But if the law passes, people who eat either animal could face fines of up to $730 or 15 days in jail. Organizations involved the practice would face fines up to 100-times as much.

After nearly a decade of rumors and speculation, Apple's finally unveiled the iPad. It's a half-inch thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds, with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display, and it's running a custom 1GHz Apple "A4" chip developed by the P.A. Semi team, with a 10-hour battery life and a month of standby. It'll come in 16, 32, and 64GB sizes, and it's got the expected connectivity: very little. There's a 30-pin Dock connector, a speaker, a microphone, Bluetooth, 802.11n WiFi and

No Multitasking
This is a backbreaker. If this is supposed to be a replacement for netbooks, how can it possibly not

A SHEEP gave birth to a dead lamb with a human-like face. The lamb was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey.

Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed a caesarean on the animal to take the lamb out, but was horrified to see that the features of the lamb's snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face.

“I’ve seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I’ve seen a one-eyed calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf. But when I saw this youngster I could not believe my eyes. H

Let me count the reasons why I love Google: its speedy search engine, the oodles of free storage on Gmail, Google Maps that get me where I need to go, YouTube for video sharing and time-wasting and Google Analytics, to obsess over my blog readership.

But seriously folks—Google’s decision this week to withdraw from China, rather than accept censorship, is a breathtaking example of corporate values at work, and a landmark moment in the history of corporate responsibility. It’s the biggest and
