SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - YouTube, Google Inc's popular video sharing site, is giving away tools that let Web developers tap the underlying database functions of YouTube, in effect allowing users to build their own YouTubes.

The Silicon Valley-based video-sharing site said on Wednesday that it is providing wholesale access to YouTube's extensive video library, global audience, and the underlying video hosting and streaming network that powers YouTube.

The move goes significantly beyond the current access to YouTube videos in which any Web user can copy and embed selected videos onto their own Web pages.

YouTube said its latest customization offerings allow anyone building a Web site or Internet-connected software program to upload videos straight to YouTube. They can fetch video feeds, comments, responses or playlists from YouTube."

    Sex: What is Fact, What is Myth? Learn for yourself!

    Definitely useful info!

    Sex: Fact and Fiction
    What’s the average penis size? How fast is premature ejaculation? Exactly where is the G-spot? Grab a ruler and a stopwatch as the experts sort sex myths from the facts.

    If there were a roll call for the founding fathers of sex myths for men, a
    couple of no-brainers would surely make the list: porn legend John Holmes,
    whose yule-log-size penis still casts a shadow over anxiety-prone males. Ditto
    NBA-great Wilt Chamberlain, whose claim of having slept with 20,000 women makes
    Don Juan look monastic.

    And then there’s purveyor-of-sex-myths Walt Disney.

    In reality, says Prosterman, “Sex is something that we learn throughout a
    lifetime.”

    If sexuality is a continuing education, a lot of us are scrambling to make
    up course credits. And in a realm that’s clouded by ego, myth and advertising
    that preys on anxieties, getting the facts about sex can be difficult.

    10 Ways to Catch a Liar

    Experts have 10 tips that can let you know if someone isn't telling you the whole truth.
    J.J. Newberry was a trained federal agent, skilled in the art of deception
    detection

    telltale signs that a person isn't being honest, like inconsistencies in a
    story, behavior that's different from a person's norm, or too much detail in an
    explanation.

    practice, it's no longer only for authorities like Newberry. Now, the average
    person can become adept at identifying dishonesty, and it's not as hard as you

    Study Finds Dogs, Robots Cheer Elderly

    I find this very surprising, but I've also never been around one of these new doggie-style robots in person. My grandmother is very lonely in a retirement community her health has required her to move to. Maybe I'll give this one my own little personal experiment! Anyone else game to try with a family member? If so contact me and we'll compile our results over time.

    Study Finds Dogs, Robots Cheer Elderly
    AP Photo

    ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Dogs may have a hard time wrapping their paws around this one: Robotic competition is nipping at their heels in the man's-best-friend department. A study by Saint Louis University found that a lovable pooch named Sparky and a robotic dog, AIBO, were about equally effective at relieving the loneliness of nursing home residents and fostering attachments.

    The study, which appears in the March issue of the Journal of The American Medical Directors Association, builds on previous findings by the researchers that frequent dog visits decreased loneliness of nursing home residents.

    Andrew Ng, who leads Stanford University's team in building a home-assistance robot and was not involved in the study, said the strength of the research is very encouraging.

    If humans can feel an emotional bond with robots, even fairly simple ones, some day they could "not just be our assistants, but also our companions," he said.
