Semana 23 (por Fabi)

Windows 7 Alpha Coming on October 27
Microsoft has announced that the attendees of its Professional Developers Conference in LA this month would be among the first to get a feel of Windows 7. We have already previewed some of the features of Windows 7 here on Sizlopedia. It will be interesting to see which of those features actually make this release.
The participants of the PDC would each get a 160 GB hard drive pre-loaded with all the developer documentation needed for Windows 7, along with a possible “alpha build” of the OS pre-installed. We already know that huge enhancements would be made to the desktop and the native applications, while there will also be new APIs to play around with.

Google's Latest Attempt to Monetize YouTube: Post-Roll Ads
As Google has acknowledged before, monetizing YouTube has been a major challenge for the Internet giant, even though it is one of the web's most visited sites. Now, Google is trying out post-roll ads on the popular online video service. Currently, as NewTeeVee notes, these post-roll ads only appear if you do not click on the overlay ads while a video is playing. Google has tested post-roll ads before, but in these earlier versions, users had to initiate the ads themselves, while these new ads will play automatically.
For now, these new ads only appear on a small number of videos uploaded by YouTube's official partners. In July, the Wall Street Journal reported that Google was experimenting with both post- and pre-roll ads, though thankfully, it looks like the company has decided against using pre-roll ads for now.
It's important to note that Google has been hesitant to roll out ads for all of its YouTube inventory because of the possible copyright issues involved. However, given that cost of running a bandwidth-hungry service like YouTube and the number of daily visitors, it only makes sense for Google to keep looking for new strategies to make at least some money off the service.
