We have been playing with Webdav as a possible solution for our up coming Infernodrive. We have hit a little snag with allowing Webdav. If you are a webdav expert or know of any webdav experts we would love to hear from you. Perhaps you can help us address an issue.

 The issue we are having with Webdav is that it uploads with the chown and chgroup nobody. This makes it hard to limit the amount that they can then upload.

We have secure FTP connection working but we feel that a Webdav solution is needed or should be enabled so that you can use the service with ical and various other up and coming webdav enabled software.

 Leave a comment if you know a solution and we will contact you.

For those that loved our video we have put together the Outtake real.

Congratulations to this weeks geekette Bev who own the site mastersdesign.ca. Bev jumps into the competition with a 3 way tie for 2nd with last weeks winner Matt still in the lead. This weeks questions are:

2. What mailing list software is used in cPanel?
3. What year was the Apple II+ launched?
4. What was the developers name who added PCRE support to PHP?
5. What does ARIN stand for?

If you haven’t heard the news, Viacom is suing Google for $1 billion dollars. Sounds like they have watched Austin Powers one too many times, but that is a different discussion. The law suit is going be one of many by providers that Google will have to face in regards to content issues with YouTube.  So with all of these ticking bombs ready to go off one would ask why did they buy YouTube?

I heard an interesting idea as to why, and it does make sense to me…

“The reason that Google bought YouTube is because the original company would not have had the resources or funds to successfully fight these types of lawsuits. Google having a large War Chest for Legal issues would really have no problem with dealing with these law suits.  Now interestingly enough, if Google did not buy YouTube and YouTube lost any law suits brought against them, then a precedence is set for them to do the same with Google Video and all the others.”

So what are your thoughts?
