| YouTubers given share of ad cash
In the UK, among those waiting to sign up is GiR2007, a computer scientist whose most popular video 'Pancakes' has generated 2.5m clicks to date. While Nerimon is already a YouTube star on the back of his so-called 5-fact Vlog Tag game which swept YouTube late last year. The game involves users sharing five facts about themselves in a video and alerting five other members to the post. Those five members then make a video and so on. Nerimon now has a 10,000 strong gang of followers. Growing business British member Jimmy0010 has more modest fan base. But the Midlands-based blogger takes it as a compliment that YouTube values his channel enough to have adverts. .

Porn to spice up cell phones!
More advanced phones with better Web browsers like Apple Inc's iPhone also offer higher quality pictures and video. "It will be impossible to stop the adult business exploitation of mobile entertainment," said Gregory Piccionelli, a lawyer specializing in adult entertainment at law firm Piccionelli & Sarno. He predicted that US consumers may soon be offered free porn on mobile phones alongside paid services like live video or "adult dates," a term for prearranged sex with strangers. Pornography has made inroads on cell phones in Europe, where it was a $775 million industry in 2007 that will grow to $1.5 billion by 2012, with the global market reaching $3.5 billion in 2010, according to Britain-based Juniper Research. A conference being held in Miami this week is devoted to discussing mobile opportunities as the porn industry seeks to find a new driver of growth.

Reading the runes for Apple
Every January, Steve Jobs stands on the Macworld stage to announce Apple's plans for the year ahead and show off new products and services. What will there be this year? And how has it done lately, and how will it fare? And when - if ever - will Steve Jobs step down? We asked former Apple employees, software developers and analysts for their views. We did ask a number of current Apple employees to take part anonymously; all however declined. Chuq Von Rospach spent 17 years at Apple, working on enterprise and IT projects, before joining a Silicon Valley startup and "can now watch a Macworld Keynote without stressing out that everything works". David Sobotta worked at Apple for nearly 20 years, leaving in 2004 as director of federal sales. Mike Evangelist worked for Apple until July 2002, responsible for Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro and iDVD.
Qantas in $15bn Asian venture
The new facility will allow it to consolidate overflow work contracted out to MROs in The Philippines, Hong Kong and Singapore that has been the target of union complaints about offshoring. It also gives Qantas an alternative site for any future maintenance work. Keeping work in AustraliaA spokesman said the airline had no plans to export work currently done in Australia to Malaysia, but a decision had yet to be made on new planes such as the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787. Union officials last night reacted cautiously to the venture, saying they had been assured it would not affect existing jobs or moves to bring the maintenance of the new planes to Australia. But the Australian Workers Union called for immediate talks with management to ensure Qantas engineering work remained in Australia.
