Avoiding Adobe Flash Player

I read about two bookmarklets that helps you avoid the Flash baggage when streaming YouTube Videos. Safari 3.1 (Windows and Mac), Opera (all versions) eat up A LOT OF CPU USAGE when streaming YouTube Videos. You don’t believe me? Try streaming a YouTube video or visiting a Flash-enabled page and try playing an offline Full-3D game or launch Adobe Photoshop and you will notice the slowdown. You will notice that your game / Photoshop would have A LOT OF lagging — meaning slower process. You don’t experience this problem if you are using Internet Exploder. I don’t know if that problem exists on Firefox, because I don’t use it. Period. I will share both of them here at my article.

 

QuickTimeYouTube

Drag that link to your bookmarks bar. That would make the QuickTime Player plug-in as your YouTube player — this would make your YouTube streaming a little faster. AND it makes the video better (read: better quality).

 

YouTube as mp4

 

Drag this at you bookmarks bar. This one does not switch your YouTube Player to another plugin but it provides you a link for you to download it a .mp4  Period. Right Click on the link and select Save Target As. and select a location.

 

That’s it! Those are the two bookmarklets that I read about! I’ve been enjoying the ‘better’ side of YouTube!! hehehe… Instead of accessing it through my browser’s cache, I’m now downloading it as mp4 that makes it sweat-free. No Converting. No Flash Baggage!!

Dream Tech

What’s your dream tech? I want to have a Nokia N82 smartphone, this 15.4″ WXGA laptop, 17″ MacBook Pro, a USB 2.0/FireWire 400 Portable Hard Drive, iPod Touch 32 GB, iPod Classic 160 GB, and a Rimowa suitcase. Just watched Hitman where, Agent 47 , the protagonist, owns a Rimowa suitcase that perfectly holds his Blazer sniper rifle, C4 explosives, and a twin caliber 45 gun. Hehehe. I wonder if I own a Rimowa suitcase that holds my tech gadgets. Wow, that one would make my life. So how about you, what’s your dream tech? I would like to hear from you.

Article Updates… et. al.

Thank you readers for feeding information via the comments section. I would like to note someone from Germany for providing information about the iPhone and  WM-powered phones.  Right now,  I can’t post some topics/articles that regard the latest tech events because of my laptop’s power supply in kaputt mode.   *Sigh*

31 days ’till Christmas, I just wish that my mom & dad has the enough funds to buy a HP Compaq nx6320 notebook as replacement for my kaputt-mode generic laptop OR kuya(big brother) Lowie could fix that damned powersupply. If my laptop gets fixed or replaced, I also wish that ninong(godfather) would give me installers (e.g. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars ; Solaris ; Ubuntu Linux ; Windows Vista Business) OR he  could send some of his Canadian dollars for me to upgrade it to 4 GB.

Well, that will be for now. I’m signing out.

ABC Network’s Strike Two

Another insult thrown at us Filipinos, again. Jimmy Kimmel commented on Jimmy Kimmel Live while interviewing Josh Harnett about his stay at the Philippines. He commented that Filipinos do not know how to speak English. That ABC Network — they begged our pardon about that bastardly comment of Terry Hatcher’s character in her show, Desperate Housewife. Man, they should watch their mouth or else Fil-Am community will file a class-action lawsuit against them. I am surprised why they could not keep their promises.
