Believe or not, he twice shot a metal bottle off a guy's head with a powerful serve during filming for a Gillette ad. Just as shown in the below YouTube video. (You can use Leawo Free YouTube Downloader to download it to your computer)
The above video by now has been hit 3,056,874 times on YouTube, therefore is becoming a YouTube sensation.
The tennis genius has not confirmed whether it's real. He told the Associated Press that "Yeah. Well, there's a lot of debate at the moment, you know," Federer said after his opening match at the Cincinnati Masters on Wednesday. "You know how it is with magicians. They don't tell how their tricks work, you know."
What do you think? Is it Real or just the result of advanced Computer-generated imagery (CGI)?

iPhone users having problems signing into YouTube application
Yesterday, we learned that some iPhone and iPod users can not sign in their YouTube Application. A "YouTube not available" error message popped up once clicked the "sign in" button. Just as shown in the below picture:
Soon afterwards in the Apple forums, users posted at least one thread in discussion of this problem. The user writes:
"When I try to log in to the YouTube app on my iPad I get a message telling me the YouTube app is unavailable and then logs back out. I have the correct user and pass so I’m not sure why it's doing it. All other apps are ok and I am connected to the Internet."
Anyone else having the same problem?

Upcoming Windows Phone 7 applications to include YouTube and Yelp
Windows Phone 7 does not support online video, because it doesn't support Flash or HTML5 video, but now it seems that you can view YouTube video with some sort of YouTube application.
Earlier this week, a former Microsoft programmer posted a tweet with a picture shown as collage of "Windows Phone 7 Marketplace testing applications icons and names." The photo reveals that the upcoming Microsoft Phone 7 will offer different game and productivity applications, and one of these applications is labeled 'YouTube', one is labeled 'Yelp'. Just as the below picture shown:

However, the 'YouTube' labeled application is also labeled 'Music Hub Add-On', which may mean that it's not an independent application, but rather an addon of the Windows Phone 7 Music hub, so you can add YouTube content to the existing Music hub.
Other testing applications in the collage photo include a few games, weather tool, RSS reader, stock tool, shopping list, etc.

Flash is a great technology. Most of our browsers on computers have installed Adobe Flash Player so that we can easily view embedded Flash video on computer via Flash player without any problems.
Things are changed when we are using a mobile phone. The browsers in our mobile phone do not know Flash video and Flash technology. Besides, Flash technology is being replaced by HTML5. Furthermore, more and more new mobile phones begin to support HTML5, not Flash.
Under this situation, YouTube brings out iframe for video embedding, which means that we can now use iframe code to embed HTML5 video to our blogs or websites. So that we can view YouTube videos in both computer and mobile web browsers. The below code is examples using iframe code for YouTube video embedding, which supports both Adobe Flash technology and HTML5:
Example 1:<iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src=http://www.youtube.com/embed/YVKCjM4TF6c frameborder="0"></iframe>
Example 2:
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" width="329" height="190"></iframe>
Example 3:
<iframe type="text/html" width="640" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" frameborder="0">Note:
</iframe>
