The most efficient way to Download Youtube videos
Jan 20th
Any other way (in terms of system resources and time) of downloading youtube videos cannot be more efficient than just changing a letter of the URL. The following method allows you to generate direct links to download the video in flv format or iPod friendly mp4 format. To download a Youtube video follow the follow the simple instruction just once. The next time you won’t have to look at this.
Instruction:
Change the “y” of “youtube.com” in the youtube URL to “3″. Like this:
Similarly adding “kick” before youtube in the URL does the same thing. (But typing 3 more letters is comparatively less efficient). The pwn youtube method no longer works directly, but still redirects you to a useful place. Using download manager and other plugins are mathematically less efficient too (system resources). Cheers.
Ipod Restore
Jan 30th
The apple ipod sometimes acts strange. As it recently did to one of my friend. It stopped playing music, got reset everytime restarted etc etc…. The best solution to such problems is the total restore. But beware it will destroy all the data stored in the ipod. Before doing this I suggest backing up any files you hav in the ipod. I could successfully restore the player to a brand new state, so I’m sharing what I did.
step 1(optional): format the ipod to FAT32. I couldn’t successfully do it still ipod got restored at last, so……optional
step2: Connect the pod to the computer, now select restore from the itunes>>ipod. (restore button is where iTunes shows your ipod’s pic or the page where the sync button is sitiuated. )
step3: Ater a couple of clicks itunes starts downloading some ipod update. Let it complete and install automatically.
You are done, after about 10secs you will see your ipod perfectly ok ready to get filled.
