Youtube Rewind 2011

In total, there were more than 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) playbacks on YouTube this year , that’s a crazy number but my feeling is its going to get bigger and crazier this year!

A Wikipedia entry states that only 1% of Internet data and voice traffic is transmitted through satellite links while the remaining 99% is still carried by undersea cables spread across the world’s oceans

Maxis : How To Check Data Usage

Here’s a nice tip, this is how you can check how much you have exhausted off your monthly data usage from your monthly Maxis data package. Im on a 500MB plan which is sufficient for me as I’m on wifi when at home where I do my updates and other data hungry activities.
