Apple lets directors use iPhones in movies  but bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera. Apple won't allow bad guys in movies to use iPhones.  In a video interview with Vanity Fair , director Rian Johnson revealed that bag guys in films are not allowed to be seen using anything Apple-related. “Not because it’s lascivious or something, but because it’s gonna screw me on the next mystery movie that I write. But forget it, I’ll say it, it’s very interesting. Apple, they let you use iPhones in movies, but, and this is very pivotal, if you’re ever watching a mystery movie, bad guys cannot have iPhones on camera. Every single filmmaker who has a bad guy in their movie that’s supposed to be a secret wants to murder me right now.” Johnson said.

YouTube started as an online video-dating website

YouTube started as an online video-dating website. The site's domain name was registered on Valentine's Day. After five days with no videos uploaded, they opened it up to all videos. “The whole thing didn’t make any sense. We were so desperate for some actual dating videos, whatever that even means, that we turned to the website any desperate person would turn to, Craigslist.” said Steve Chen, co-founder of Youtube. Despite offering to pay women $20 to upload videos of themselves to YouTube, nobody came forward, forcing Chen, Karim and co-founder Chad Hurley to adopt a different strategy. “OK, forget the dating aspect, let’s just open it up to any video,” said Chen at SXSW.
