This is how and why internet gonna float with million of advertisement soon.

YouTube, used to be a very clean website with some Google Adsense around, after bought over by Google. I think the big G thought to invest a little bit and wanna earn the revenue back as soon as possible. In order to have a win-win situation with the users, big G created this service that let you use your adsense code to earn on your own video uploaded. By that, big G don’t have to make any big video with lots of viewers nor taking advantage from the uploader. Good idea.

However, this is a mutual beneficial. But then again, soon or later, banner ads gonna float all around the internet. Well, it happening now. There was this city banned all the advertisement on city, which is not a so-good-idea. My point is, are internet coming to the end of luxury and leisure? No more Votive candle holders on table having a great video on YouTube eh?!

Sometimes it’s hard to download YouTube video, especially when Firefox 3 doesn’t run well on my Mac Been thinking around how to download the video beside using external web that give me the “get_video” file, there’s another way with Safari and only Safari.

Once you’re in YouTube on your favorite video, click on “Window -> Activity” there you’ll see bunch of link alike list, don’t need to read all of them, look for the biggest byte list. That’s the video file, double click it and it will open in a new window and then download started. However, it doesn’t give you the chance to rename/add .flv.

Still remember Apple TV? Have you got yourself this latest entertainment gadget, put it beside your home theatre and LCD TV?

At the moment, Apple TV plays movies, TV shows, music, photos, and podcasts only. But come mid-June, Apple TV will provide the link-up to YouTube’s hugh video catalogue. Basically, you will be able to search and play YouTube videos on your big screen! Isn’t that awesome?! Apple TV was first launched in September last year, alongside the launch of the fifth generation video iPods. Some time ago, Apple revealed that it is offering a new Apple TV unit with a 160 gigabyte hard drive. This model will have four times the storage capabilities of previous models. It can roughly store up to 200 hours of video, 25,000 photos and 36,000 songs, or a combination of the three.

Simply awesome. By then, I think we won’t need Astro anymore. Haha… save on the increasing monthly Astro subscription fees!
