Many complaints about playing the slow videos on YouTube have made them try to overcome the issue through the launch of their pilot program called Feather.

Claimed more ‘lightweight’, this program is intended for places that do not have excellent internet connection. YouTube realized that there are still many countries that have limited bandwidth and this can slow the download process.

‘One of our priorities is to ensure that existing video can be loaded and played quickly. In the era of instant satisfaction, even a few seconds of loading time can feel like forever, "said Chris Zacharias, YouTube engineer, told the AFP detikINET, Friday (4/12/2009).

YouTube Feather is made by a company owned by Google itself, namely TestTube. The ability to play video faster can be realized through the elimination of some features and trimming the amount of data downloaded by the browser.

Because of ‘feather’ is still available in beta, then the system will still be repaired. And if YouTube users still feel there has been no change when they try out this program, do not be surprised because Feather was not able to be applied to all of the existing videos.

One might think of a computer virus as a tiny computer program designed to perform mischief. Most computer users have heard about computer viruses. A computer virus is the result of a destructive program that someone has written and placed inside a computer program, which unsuspecting people then place in their computer system.

Some viruses can erase all the information from the place where it’s stored on the computer’s hard disk. But each virus is different. Some display strange messages on your computer screen; others make small changes in your computer programs.
