A few months have gone by since YouTube began testing its “One Channel” redesign in a private beta, after which Google allowed curious users to voluntarily opt in. But while some have been experiencing the next version of the site’s design for awhile now, YouTube is about to make the transition mandatory. Starting June 5th, Google will flip the switch on the One Channel theme across the whole site. YouTube believes this is a good thing for all, as it’s noticed a 20-percent page view increase on channels that have already opted in. For impatient folks who can’t wait until next month, you can make your own One Channel now via the “opt in” link at the source below.

While Google presented its nearly four hours of recorded keynote glory in one giant clip, BlackBerry had the decency to split things up into four more-manageable segments. In the first installment of BlackBerry Live Keynote 2013, you can catch CEO Thorsten Heins chatting up some stats before hopping into the passenger seat of a QNX-equipped Bentley. Later during the show, we hear from Alicia Keys, the company’s Global Creative Director, before taking a look at BBM Channels (which we imagine the performer already plans to use as a replacement for Twitter). You’ll find all four parts of the company’s keynote embedded right after the break.

Looking for some entertainment on an upcoming cross-country flight? That might just be the only reasonable excuse for sitting through all 3 hours, 51 minutes and 25 seconds of Google’s recorded keynote. The I/O presentation, now available for playback on YouTube, covers many of the company’s announcements from yesterday, including All Access, Hangouts, a bounty of developer tools and that Galaxy S 4 running stock Jelly Bean that we weren’t expecting to see. All that and more can be yours if you click past the break.

Yes, there’s a fleet of camera-equipped, remote-controlled blimps live-streaming a bird’s-eye view of Google I/O on YouTube, right now. It’s called Google AirShow and it’s taken over the airspace within Moscone Center. We briefly chatted with Chris Miller, a software engineer with AKQA (the company that put the dirigibles together for Google), about the technology used in each aircraft. It all begins with an off-the-shelf model airship that’s flown manually via standard a 2.4GHz radio. Each blimp is outfitted with a servo-controlled USB camera and 5GHz USB WiFi dongle which are both connected to a Raspberry Pi board running Debian, VLC and Python. A custom-designed Li-polymer battery system powers the on-board electronics. The webcam encodes video as motion-JPEG (720p, 30fps) and VLC generates a YouTube-compatible RTSP stream that’s broadcast over WiFi. Python’s used to pan the servo-controlled camera via the Raspberri Pi’s PWM output. The result is pretty awesome. But don’t take our word for it — check it out in the gallery and source link below, then watch our hands-on video after the break.
