(Not sure if this video fits in this thread, its not automobile related.)
Amazing argument by Shashi Tharoor on whether Britain owe us reparations due to 150 years of colonization. A must watch.

Here's a really interesting video about Shazam as a tool for forecasting & analytics in the music industry. 10 mins, but worth a watch:

"A day in the life of stunt city" - featuring trucks, cars, bikes, copters etc stunting - turns out to be a deodorant ad for Rexona. [now that's a brand I hardly ever see, used to be a Hamam clone of sorts years back]

The guy made sure he chose the dirtiest toilet in India, isnt it?

Yes, public toilets in India are dirty and unhygienic, but we do have cleaner and better options.

Dubai never stops to amaze me. They have fancy gadgetry even in toilets. Which is true since most taps and flushes over here are contact-less and sensor based. Which I think is more hygienic!

Dubai tends to import japanese loos - and there are "washlets" there, which umm .. do the strategically positioned sprays of water front and back after you're done.

And the japanese loos also have a button that plays recorded bird songs, flushing noises etc because many japanese men and women are apparently embarrassed that when they're using a public loo, the inevitable noises can be heard by others waiting in line, so they'd keep flushing to hide the noises, wasting water. So some genius came up with the idea of playing pre recorded noises every time you press a button.

And chose the cleanest toilets from other countries?

Perhaps one of the biggest reasons I don't travel much is the fear of having to use public toilets. Even the ones in trains are a big stinking mess. And the feces are deposited on railway tracks. Now how lower can anybody go?

What that guy commented is right. India is one big (stinking) toilet.

I haven't seen Rexona in recent times, but it is quite big elsewhere, I think. It sponsors Lotus F1 team.

Had recently been on a trip to AN Islands.

Really a great place with amazing scenery!
Took my Custom Phantom2 along too!

Very cool!

One thing i'd suggest is to use the fisheye-removal feature (available in GoPro studio for example). Will make the video look more pro...

Thanks a lot! I'll try that!

I know a lot of the gear was coming into the frame along with edge distortion and such.

Here's another one from my cottage! -
