Recently the HP Slate has been spotted again, this time on the HP website. Many people wrote off the Windows 7 based HP Slate since HP bought Palm, instead expecting a bevy of webOS tablets. However it appears that the HP Slate is likely going to be released after all with a slight name change: the HP Slate 500.

The specs stay largely the same with Windows 7 Home Premium with a custom HP interface, both a rear facing still camera along with a front facing webcam, a 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor and an 8.9 inch touchscreen with support for a stylus.

Incompetech: http://incompetech.com

In the second episode in my series Starting on YouTube I discuss several common Dos and Don’ts including a brief description of copyright as well as tips on how to speak well in front of a camera. I also discuss how you should never be afraid to fail with making a particular video. Taking myself for an example, for as many successful series I have there are several that failed for whatever reason.

In addition I talk about what kind of equipment you might need. The main things are a camera, a lighting setup as well as what kind of computer you will need to be able to edit video.

The entire purpose of this series is to help you to with making YouTube videos. I love making videos on YouTube and so what better way to give back than to help some of you start your own channels and hopefully become the next big thing on YouTube.
