With the country mired in a deep recession a decade ago, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates to near zero in an attempt to “stimulate” the economy.

"But we also want to think beyond ads. Creators should have as many ways and opportunities to make money as possible," he said. Viewers will pay $4.99 a month for channel memberships giving them access to exclusive content including livestreams, extra videos or shout-outs on channels with more than 100,000 subscribers. Creators will also be able to sell merchandise like shirts or phone cases directly on their channels, the company said.

YouTube says it has more than 1.9 billion users but the figure only counts those who log in via their accounts. … [Read more...] about YouTube offers creators new ways to earn money

Nowadays, do companies only think about profit and money, but don't care about the risk to human beings, especially to the infants! posted on 08 Dec 2014, 22:48 0 3. gorkapr (Posts: 74; Member since: 23 Aug 2012) Depends of the SoC and the charging chip, for example, quickcharge 2.0 push @ 12v first, then goes down to 9v and then to 5v. posted on 09 Dec 2014, 02:31 0 5.
