Save Youtube Video from Safari
July 13th, 2009 | Author: Sunny
My sister was being interviewed on TV something about plastic bag tax. Her husband wants to save this interview, but they have already missed the broadcasting time. And thank to the Internet, it has been showing on Youtube. haha. So, he wants me to help him to save it and crop my sister’s part out. I looked around, but did not find any good converter. There was a site that actually you can copy Youtube’s URL, and convert the video. However, the quality was not good at all, and no sound!!! (still couldnt figure out why)
And I found this: http://www.usingmac.com/2009/1/20/free-download-hd-youtube-video
You can save youtube video from Safari! Following this steps on Safari:
1. Open YouTube URL to video. Append URL with &fmt=18 to view HD video (you may not need it if you don’t need HD video)
2. Show up Activity Monitor (Command-Option-A)
3. Seek for file with largest size and Option-Click it
4. The download should be started with default name video.mp4
Isn’t it nice? and I used iMovie to crop my sister’s part out.
New Mac Pro (WTF)
March 05th, 2009 | Author: Sunny
Yesterday I was checking out the Apple site, and saw a new Mac Pro. I was so pissed… because I just bought it like 2 months ago (which is Early 2008 model) and the new model claims that it is 2x as fast as the Early 2008 3.2GHz system(mine is 2.8). Damn… the new model really outdates my Mac Pro now.. and I paid more for upgrading to 4GB ram, and new model with the same amount of money I paid already comes with 6GB RAM already!!!! WHY!!! Already pissed when I bought it ONE DAY before iLife ‘09 announced and no free upgrade… am I just bad luck??? damn Apple!
I still love your product, but it is heart broken and so does my money in my wallet! 
(At least you should lower the price for a older model before the new model coming out!!)
