Download YouTube Videos to Your Mac

Download YouTube Videos to Your Mac

YouTube is great for watching comedy, news and entertainment clips online. The success of the Google-owned video sharing site has mobilized wannabe news anchors and spawned the latest journalism craze, "Citizen Journalism".

In fact, the success of the site has made prominent news channels like CNN introduce their own "citizen journalism" programs, and forced many news networks and cable channels to embrace the social revolution by creating their own channels on the site.

However, one critical missing feature of YouTube is the ability to download videos off the site, to watch at a later time. So today I'm going to list a few easy methods to get YouTube videos off the site and on your desktop. You can then use a free video converter application to convert the video to iPod or mobile phone formats, and take your favorite YouTube channels with you wherever you go!

Wondershare Free YouTube Downloader for Mac

A stylish app that allows you to manage your very own "YouTube Library", Wondershare's YouTube downloader is quick, stylish, and free.

The GUI is well-designed, with a very "iTunes-like" interface that will make Mac fans feel right at home. To download a video, simply search for it via the "search" tab in the sidebar. When you start the app, it immediately searches for and lists a few notable YouTube videos you might be interested in.

One minor problem I have with the app is that the "converter" tool is not free; you have to purchase the corresponding conversion software from Wondershare if you wish to change a YouTube video from the standard .flv (Flash video file) to something more usable.

Thus, to play .flv files, you can easily do so using VLC Media Player. To convert them, give Handbrake a try — it's an awesome app for converting and ripping DVDs and a host of other formats — including .flv — to preset options like PSP, iPod, Apple TV and Zune, to name a few.

Market Demand for the iPad Grows Stronger


Even though it's been days since Google I/O conference where Google's attacks on Apple are getting serious, there has been a tremendous wave of positive news about the iPad.

In fact, the success of Apple iPad is so amazing (We've said it so many times) that recent analysis reports revealed that Apple is selling more iPads than Apple Macs every day. Not only that, the level of sales that the iPad has and is generating is nearing that the level of sales for the iPhone.

ChangeWave recently released a report stating that the pattern of increasing demand for the iPad is going to continue. The report is based on a survey of more than 3,000 consumers and second study made up of 153 new buyers of the iPad.

ChangeWave's report shows that 16% of the e-reader market already owns an iPad. That's certainly what Apple iPad was targeting and has been successful! The pre-launch survey showed that 4% of the consumers will Very Likely purchase an iPad and that 9% will somewhat likely purchase one. The new survey, however, showed that 7% of the participants will very likely get an iPad and another 13% are somewhat likely going to buy one.

Out of those who recently purchased this tablet from Apple, ChangeWave got a sample group of 153 new iPad owners. Out of these 153 people, 73 respondents said that they are very satisfied with their iPad. This result for the level of satisfaction for the users of the tablet is already coming up close to the level of satisfaction for iPhone users.

Also, IDC published their prediction that 7.6 million media tablets will be sold this year. This figure may go up supporting reports that reveal more positive news for Apple. As media tablets are developed, more applications for these devices will evolve as well and it follows that consumers will now see these items as must-have gadgets.

Mike Abramsky, an RBC market analyst forecasts that iPad's sales will reach the 8 million mark this 2010. This is 3 million more than what they previously indicated. He continues by saying that Apple is selling more than 200,000 iPad's a week. This is more than the number for when Mac's were released years ago. It's iPad everywhere!

How to install a .bin File in Ubuntu


Ubuntu is one among the most popular Linux distros. And best of all its free and open source operating system. Based on Debian, Ubuntu does not execute .bin files.

Hence installing a .bin application in Ubuntu requires you to execute it via the Terminal. Using the Terminal we can change the .bin file so that Ubuntu can execute it.

terminal cd desktop How to install a .bin File in Ubuntu

Here is an attempt to show you how to easily install .bin file in Ubuntu. The steps involved are:

1. Download the .bin file and store it in anywhere you want. I recommend the Desktop, as it is easy to navigate through the Terminal.

2. Now fire up the Terminal window (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) and navigate to the folder where you have stored the file by using the cd command. For example, if your file is stored on the Desktop you need to type cd Desktop (The commands and filenames are case-sensitive).

Now your Terminal code will change to something like this – user@user-desktop:-/Desktop$

Similarly, you can navigate to other locations by using cd location.

3. Once you have navigated to the required location, type ls to list the files in that directory and note down the exact file name of your .bin file.

4. Type sudo chmod +x filename.bin. This command permits Ubuntu to execute the file. It will ask for your password. Enter the password and hit Enter.

5. Now type ./filename.bin. The .bin file will start installing from within the terminal. Just follow the instructions that appear on the screen. Once the installation is completed, close the terminal window.

That's it! You have successfully installed the .bin file.
