Google has said that it hopes to have technology in place by September that would prevent copyright-infringing videos being posted on YouTube, its video-sharing site.

A lawyer for Google told a judge presiding over a copyright action that YouTube was working “very intensely and co-operating” with content-producing companies to introduce video-recognition technology that would detect illegally copied material before a clip is posted.

At present, companies must find illegally uploaded videos themselves and alert Google, which will then take them down.

Philip Beck, who is representing Google in the action, told a judge in Manhattan that the filtering technology would be introduced “hopefully in September”. He said that Google hoped the technology would “eliminate such disputes in the future.”

Beginning today, iPhone users can log on to http://www.popcap.com via the iPhone’s Web browser and play the iPhone-specific version of the original match-3 puzzler Bejeweled free.

PopCap developed the Safari-based version of Bejeweled in partnership with Polish developer Arkadiusz Mlynarczyk, one of the first programmers to take advantage of the Apple iPhone’s capabilities for video gaming purposes.

“Follow the water” goes the mantra of the search for life beyond Earth, and so far it has led planetary scientists to some very unusual places.

In an article published in today’s edition of Nature magazine, comes news that traces of water have been detected much further away, on a planet orbiting a star 64 light-years from the Sun. It is the first time that water vapor had been detected with a high degree of certainty on a planet outside our solar system.
