HTML5 is considered to be one of the newest and most promising features of the internet today. It is bringing together media and interactive content to users in lieu of the much slower and less stable Flash format.

Apple has been backing HTML5 heavily and has been keen on making Flash obsolete. While they are a long way from being able to phase out the old format, they are certainly doing great by establishing the HTML5 format as the new platform that designers should use.

According to a recent report, YouTube Mobile is now running in HTML5. This makes the website accessible from the iPhone, iPod and iPad devices from Apple. The iOS can only support HTML5 and not Flash –which has rendered many website inaccessible to Apple users.

Despite this, Apple still stands behind many other mobile phone makers in terms of format compatibility. It is expected that by next year, most platforms would be able to support both Flash and HTML5, while Apple would only have access to HTML5. This is because Apple had chosen not to support Flash –which caused a major falling out between the Adobe and Apple.

In the meanwhile, Apple is still dealing with the issue regarding the iPhone 4’s antenna. The problem began when users noticed that the device had a tendency to lose signal power when the antenna on the side was touched. With the number of complaints regarding dropped calls increasing, it was only a matter of time before Apple sprung into action. However, their solution was something that users did not expect; Apple released a patch that corrected the signal meter to show a proper strength.

While the patch did help identify areas with weak receptions better, many felt that the patch was not a real solution and only served to divert the attention of users from the real hardware issue that they were complaining about.

In the United States, a young 16 year old girl is making plenty of waves and income from her YouTube videos. The pioneering “haul queen” of the internet, Blair Fowler has become one of the most watched users on the video streaming website.

Her video formulas are simple, she goes out with her sister to shop and when she gets home, she makes videos about the new products that she has brought. The combination of product reviews and women’s love for finding good bargains makes for an excellent combination as Fowler not only makes well made reviews of clothes and accessories, but she also provides sound advice and tips on fashion and more importantly, how to spot good deals.

It is not exactly the success story parents would want to expose their children to, Blair has already quit school so that she can spend more time shopping and reviewing. It’s a special case as the young lady has already caught the eye of major product developers who are sending her and her sisters samples of products in the hope that their new designs would be showcased on the YouTube channel –not something that any YouTube user can easily aspire to attain.

To begin with, Blair and her sister started doing the videos only for fun and without the delusion that they would be able to make money out of their hobby. Right now, signs that the success is taking its toll on the young girl are slowly being shown. According to reports, Fowler recently stated that she is slowly running out of content as she has already reviewed everything that she owns.

Blair’s YouTube account, Juicystar07, has been viewed over 15 million times.
