Tech.It.To.Me->{By.Anton.Perez}

A few posts ago I showed how to Save YouTube videos into your iPod.  But what if you simply want the audio?  Well you’re in luck.  A website just popped up that allows you to do just that:

FLV.TO

It’s easy and simple to use.

1. You can either enter the YouTube URL or upload the .flv file  you want converted.
2. Hit the OK button, get a quick snack, and wait for the progress meter to finish.
3. Once done converting, it will ask you to save it on your computer.
4. Finally, simply import it into iTunes or your favorite player.

Viola!  Instant audio from video!  Enjoy.

I’m Filipino-American and feel cursed…when it comes to drinking alcohol.  After a bottle of beer, my face turns red and my eyes are bloodshot.  Since I can remember I’ve always been like this, and to tell you the truth, I feel embarrassed when it happens.  This is why I like hanging out in dark places so people won’t notice.  Good thing is I’m not the only who experiences this.  There’s actually a name for it…it’s called the Asian Flush.

If you’re like me, you’ll want to read the article, Asian Flush: Asians and Alcohol, to get a better understanding why it happens and how to deal with it.  Sorry, there’s nothing you can really do to get rid of it.  If anything, accept it and move on.  That’s what I’ll try to do.

As reported by Techwatch: according to a post on Microsoft’s Windows XP SP3 forum by Chris Keroack, release manager for Windows serviceability, the delay is in place to “make sure customers have the best possible experience.”

Who would’ve known Tetris could be played by real human-beings.

Here’s an interesting article on the Seattle Times website about a small plug-in device that Microsoft “quietly distributed to a handful of law-enforcement agencies.”  Dubbed the COFFEE (Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor), it contains “150 commands that can dramatically cut the time it takes to gather digital evidence, which is becoming more important in real-world crime, as well as cybercrime. It can decrypt passwords and analyze a computer’s Internet activity, as well as data stored in the computer.”

I need one of this…just because.  =0)
