Zuckerberg Sued, YouTube History on Display, Bucharest Snowed In

The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London unveiled a reconstruction of the original YouTube watchpage from December 2006, offering visitors a glimpse into the early days of the video-sharing platform, while Google debuted its new Pixel 10a smartphone, and World Labs secured a $1 billion funding round, according to multiple sources. Additionally, heavy snowfall disrupted transport in Bucharest, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was served with a lawsuit.

The V&A, in collaboration with YouTube, rebuilt the watchpage using internet archives, allowing visitors to "step back in time" to the platform's beginnings, as reported by BBC Technology. The museum also acquired the first video ever uploaded to YouTube, "Me at the Zoo," posted by co-founder Jawed Karim in April 2005. YouTube's chief executive Neal Mohan stated, "By reconstructing the original 2005 watchpage, we aren't just showing a video; we are inviting the public to step back in time to the beginning of a [platform]."

Meanwhile, Google launched its Pixel 10a smartphone, priced at $499, featuring new AI software capabilities and minor hardware updates, according to TechCrunch. The phone, available for preorder with shipments starting March 5, comes in Lavender, Berry, Fog, and Obsidian. The Pixel 10a boasts a 6.3-inch Actua display that is 11% brighter than its predecessor and offers faster charging, with over 30 hours of battery life and up to 120 hours with the Extreme Battery Saver setting. The phone is equipped with the same Tensor G4 chip as last year's Pixel 9a.

In other news, World Labs secured a $1 billion funding round, including a $200 million investment from software design giant Autodesk, as reported by TechCrunch. The partnership between World Labs and Autodesk will explore how World Labs' AI systems can integrate with Autodesk's tools, focusing initially on entertainment use cases.

Separately, heavy snowfall and strong winds caused significant disruptions to road, rail, and air traffic in Bucharest, Romania, according to Euronews. Commuters faced delays as snow covered roads and tracks, while flights were diverted from the capital's airport.

Finally, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was served with a summons and complaint as he entered a Los Angeles courthouse, according to Al Jazeera. The lawsuit alleges that Zuckerberg's social media platforms deliberately addict and harm children.
