YouTube says it’s fixing the bug that let someone fake a new oldest video
YouTube is setting the record straight: “Me at the zoo” is still the oldest YouTube video.
“Me at the zoo,” uploaded on April 23rd, 2005 and featuring YouTube co-founder Jawed Karim standing in front of elephants at the San Diego Zoo, is an important piece of internet history, as it marks the oldest video on one of the most influential video services on the planet. But earlier on Thursday, a video started circulating that, somehow, had an even earlier upload date: April 5th, 2005.
Titled “Welcome to YouTube!!!”, the 48-second video definitely looks like something that could have been used to test out a mid-aughts video website. The video has just one image: a low-res graphic with a YouTube logo with the text “Welcome to YouTube!!!!”…

Google Urges Apple Not to ‘Drop the Ball’ on Fixing Messaging in New Billboard Pushing RCS

After the short message, the billboard scrolls through RCS code, ending with a plea to customers to “Help Apple #GetTheMessage,” the hashtag that Google has been using for the campaign.
Google launched the “Get the Message” push back in August with a full website highlighting the benefits of RCS, which include support for higher resolution photos and videos, audio messages, and bigger file sizes, along with improved encryption, cross-platform emoji reactions, and more reliable group chats across different devices.

Google has been pestering Apple to adopt RCS for well over a year through the website, pleas on Twitter, billboards, and more, but Apple has made no acknowledgement of Google’s efforts. In fact, Apple CEO Tim Cook recently said that RCS is not a priority. “I don’t hear our users asking that we put a lot of energy in on that at this point,” said Cook.
All major mobile carriers and manufacturers have implemented RCS support, including AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Motorola, Nokia, OnePlus, Samsung, Sony, and others, with Apple remaining the lone holdout.
