Getting the Most Speed Out of USB 3.0
Mungo Darkmatter explains how to get the most speed out of USB 3.0. USB 3.0 is 10 times faster than version 2.0. Most PCs only have a few USB 3.0 ports and the rest are USB 2.0. Older machines do not even have USB 3.0, and if you plug a USB 3.0 device into a USB 2.0, you are only getting USB 2.0 speeds.
This video was shot and uploaded using an iPhone 5.

World of Warcraft Series on YouTube
I am working on a series of YouTube videos on playing World of Warcraft. Initially, I will be working on topics to help players create and level characters more effectively and to avoid common mistakes. "Levelling" a character is a term used to describe advancing a character to a new level in WoW, World of Warcraft. A character gains abilities as it advances through each level and each level requires more points to advance through than the previous level.
