**** me,that's a lot of content.

[Neverwhere]

"According to the company, roughly 60 hours of video is now uploaded to YouTube every minute"

So that works out to 3600 days of video uploaded every 24 hours - or 150 hrs. of footage per hour.. that's insane. Imagine the storage and processing power they use to convert all the uploads let alone serve it up.
