Hi everyone, just a quick afternoon update for all the iPad and iPhone users out there!
When we all upgrade to Apple’s iOS 6 in the fall – the YouTube app, which has come pre-installed on all three generations of the iPad to date, will disappear from our iPads and iPhones. Apple and Google, the owner of YouTube, are experiencing some friction with each other as both try and dominate portions of the tech market Google with its Nexus 7 Tablet and Apple with its iPad and iPhone.
Apple has stated of this change that YouTube will still be accessible through the Safari web browser and that Google is working on a YouTube app to place in Apple’s App Store.
Here’s a link to an Apple Insider article titled Apple removes YouTube app from iOS with beta 4 release of iOS 6:

Good day! I know this is kind of off topic but I
was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and
I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
Hi, I use WordPress to create this blog and as it is my first blog I haven’t done anything with other blogging platforms.
However, other blogging platforms that I am familar with and have heard good things about include:
Tumblr (www.tumblr.com) and Blogger (www.blogger.com) — that latter being the Google blogging platform.
And if you have an iPad you could use Blogsy ($4.99) or BlogPress ($4.99) – and of course there is an app for WordPress too which is free. And in relation, the reviews I’ve read of Blogsy indicate that it offers a seamless experience as far as integrating photos into your blog goes so that is probably the platform I’d go with if I were looking to switch platforms via an app. I haven’t used Tumblr or Blogger but I have heard good things about them so you may want to check them out.
I hope that helps!
