Download, save and convert video from YouTube

Here's how you can download a video from YouTube. It surprises me that so many people don't know you can download videos from YouTube onto your hard drive, watch them on your iPod, etc. YouTube has just about every music video ever made.

Step one is to go to the YouTube page where the video is displayed. If you see a page on some random website with a YouTube video on it, you need to go to the YouTube page that shows that video. This can usually be accomplished by clicking on the video itself. Not on the big "Play" button (sideways triangle) in the middle, and not in the little buttons (Play, Pause, etc) or the slider along the bottom, but anywhere on the rest of the video. If the video is playing, clicking right on the image will do it. So if someone embeds a YouTube video on their blog, you usually need to click on the video (not on the buttons along the bottom, and not on the "Play" button in the middle of the video, but anywhere else, on the video itself) in order to go to the YOUTUBE page that shows that video. Once you're on the page that shows the video on the site that the video is hosted by (YouTube), on your browser's address bar, you see a URL (address).
MelodyCan YouTubeRipper is a plug-in for Internet Explorer. MelodyCan supports MP4 and AVI as output formats for video conversion. You can select a desired output format and video size in MelodyCan settings by choosing a suitable encoder for video files. Just click on "Rip YouTube File" button on your Internet Explorer toolbar and the selected video will be saved to your PC in a desired format. The video will download to your hard drive! (To whatever folder you specified). That could take a couple minutes.

What if you want to add this video to your iTunes library, play it on your iPod, or play it on your PSP? You then need to convert it to Mpeg4 format. To do this, I highly recommend MelodyCan Ultra Video version, a great program that converts video so that it plays on the PSP (but the video files it outputs will also play on iPods and other devices). MelodyCan has pretty good instructions, and plenty of information online. It will convert any videos into Mpeg 4 or AVI easily .

Cool Motz MusicBox Core Mini Wooden Acorn 1GB MP3 Player

Whilst we’ve featured a plethora of MP3 players of all shapes and sizes here on TFTS this Acorn MP3 player certainly has the distinction of not only being one of the smallest we’ve ever featured but also one of the most novel – but don’t let its diminutive size fool you, as this baby might be small but it still manages to pack in a not inconsiderable 1GB of internal storage capacity.

Measuring in at a mere 38mm x 30 mm, the Acorn MP3 Speaker, as you might expect for a player of this size, boasts only the most rudimentary of features courtesy of a joystick style controller such as volume up/down, skip track forward/back – and that’s pretty much it. And, whilst it would be all too easy to dismiss it on this basis alone as a mere ‘trinket’ we actually think its pretty cool (and the fact that it accepts the OGG file format as well as MP3 and WMA file formats is certainly warmly welcomed).

Powered by a li-polymer battery that recharges from the devices USB connection (or from a power adapter), the Acorn MP3 player seemingly has an endurance of up to eight hours on a single charge and is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista based PCs only (no mention of Mac compatibility – which surprises us somewhat).

The Motz MusicBox Core Acorn 1GB MP3 Player retails for 56000 Korean Won, which equates to around $59 / £30 / €41 at the time of writing.

High heels Boost Sex Life

Researchers in Italy have found, that wearing high heels, which was earlier referred to as unhealthy, boosts woman’s libido.

The author of the research, Dr. Maria Cerruto has found, that women wearing high heels improve their sexual life. 66 women under 50 took part in the experiment. It’s important, that the majority of the tested women, who often wear high heels, had as good posture, as other women. A posture formed while the woman is walking in high heels, provides the necessary blood flow to pelvic floor muscles and brings these muscles to the optimum position. Thereby, it improves their strength and ability to contract. Normally modern women don’t have enough time to carry out the right exercises for the pelvic zone, which is of vital importance for both women’s health and sexual life. In such cases high heels are supposed to boost the woman’s libido and rid women of many problems in this area.

A woman wearing high heels looks more beautiful, everybody knows it, but, anyway, don’t forget to carry out regular exercises, this is for sure healthier, and is also a fact.

Melodycan has a capability to watch an arbitrary media library folder and convert media content as soon as it was downloaded from a music provider or simply copied to that folder. This is implemented by means of ‘Automatic Conversion Folder’ engine and can be configured with corresponding fields in MelodyCan settings dialog.


When converting your audio content you have of choice of such destination audio format:

* MP3 – MPEG1-Layer3 nowadays is most widespread audio format which is supported by almost any audio/video devices.
* AAC – MPEG4-AAC is audio format natively intended for MPEG4 movies. Now it is supported by many well-known portable audio devices such as iPod.
* WAV – Uncompressed audio is right choice if you plan to rip your converted audio files to audio CD or edit your audio content with a waveform audio editor.

When converting your video content you may choose from one of following video formats:

* MPEG4 for iTunes (M4V file extension) – is intended for iTunes-compatible video devices such as iPod.

World’s first USB-sized personal hardware firewall

Earlier this month Yoggie Security System (Yes, I work there ) launched the Firestick Pico.
Firestick Pico is very exciting since it’s the word’s first, and so far only, USB-sized personal hardware firewall!

This is an extremely exciting product. Personally I think the concept itself is a revolution in the security market.

Think about it: Although it looks exactly like a simple USB drive, it’s actually a full fledged miniature computer (CPU, RAM and all) that runs Linux and has a full corporate-grade stateful inspection firewall running inside!
No software installation, only the tiny USB driver and that’s it – You enjoy a hardware firewall wherever you go.
There’s really absolutely nothing quite like that in existence today.

And the price is right too, right now the list price is $109 and can already be purchased from the Yoggie online store, but once it hits the shelves, street price will probably be substantially lower.

Actually, Firestick Pico is the “little brother” of the Gatekeeper Pico, and if you think the Firestick Pico is cool, check this out:
The Gatekeeper Pico is the same concept of the Firestick Pico – An actual Linux-based miniature USB-sized computer running security INSIDE. But where Firestick does only firewall, the Gatekeeper Pico actually has a full and complete security suite inside!

Again, none of the security software is installed onto your Windows machine – Running inside the Gatekeeper Pico is the firewall, anti-virus (By Kaspersky!), anti-spam, IDS/IPS (By Snort!), Web Filtering and much more.
So you get a full security suite, running outside your machine – So you can still enjoy your Windows applications AND enjoy Linux-based security.
PLUS – Now you can uninstall the huge monstrous resource-hungry software security suite that you hate so much today!

Pepsi, record labels team with AmazonMP3 to give away free music this Super Bowl

Four years ago, the major record labels lined up with Pepsi-Cola to give away 100 million songs through Apple’s iTunes online music store. Fast forward to today.

Beginning Feb. 1 and hitting full stride with ads during this year’s Super Bowl on Feb. 3, Pepsi will be giving away upwards of a billion songs from three of the four major record labels through another upstart online music store, AmazonMP3.

The irony here is that four years ago, the record labels were clamoring for ways to protect their content so music lovers couldn’t trade the free songs and downloads purchased online. Apple stepped in with the FairPlay digital rights management (DRM) platform, and the promotion helped iTunes take off and become the No. 1 online music store.

But now the current tide isn’t DRM but DRM-free as the record labels — SonyBMG, Universal Music Group, EMI, and Warner — have joined ranks with AmazonMP3 to offer songs from their catalogs without copy protection, making them playable on any MP3-equipped music player. All but UMG are participating in the Pepsi-AmazonMP3 giveaway.

In the promotion, people who buy Pepsi drinks will receive points that can be redeemed for music downloads at a special section of the AmazonMP3 site. Danny Socolof, president of Mega, the Las Vegas marketing agency that developed the promotion known as “Pepsi Stuff”, told The New York Times that the move away from DRM would “unleash a new age in the music business, and it’s sorely needed.”

The Times’ piece, headlined “Music Industry, Souring on Apple, Embraces Amazon Service,” is a well-worth-reading examination of what’s going on in the music industry, particularly between DRM and DRM-free music, the record labels, and Apple and Amazon.

I just wish I liked soft drinks these days. Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Sierra Mist hold no interest, but if the promotion includes Aquafina water, Propel, and Gatorade, I just might get some free music.

But not Justin Timberlake, OK?
