Adsense is piloting video ads with a select set of publishers.
This time, we’ll be working with a larger set of content providers, grouping together video content from providers such as Warner Music Group and Sony BMG Music Entertainment together with quality ads and offering them as playlists which publishers can select from and display on their AdSense sites. Participating publishers range from small to large, and cut across many different types of content.
As the bandwidth availability is increasing everywhere, streaming videos is no longer an issue. Google obviously wants to be the first in trying video ads on a large scale! Interestingly this time small publishers are also included in the Adsense video beta testing program.

World’s first bicycle lift – In Trondheim, Norway
Trondheim in Norway was the first city in the world with a lift specially designed for cyclists. The bicycle lift is used by cyclists to climb up the Brubakken hill near Gamle Bybro. The lift requires you to purchase a key card. To use the lift you insert your key card, put your right foot on the foot rest and sit back on your bicycle seat and the lift moves at a speed of about 2 metres per second.
The whole thing looks a bit weird to me. Normally, the reason I use bicycle is to ride it. This is like those fellows I have seen in UK, who will take the bicycle on a train to travel 3 kilometres
