Drag and Drop Uploading for YouTube Videos

Sunday, January 9, 2011 0 comments
Why download YouTube videos when it's so easy to upload videos? Now you can drag and drop multiple videos on YouTube's upload page instead of using the operating system's file open dialog. The new feature requires a recent version of Google Chrome and Firefox because it uses HTML5 APIs.

Two other Google services that support drag and drop uploading are Gmail and Google Docs, but other services will probably follow suit.

YouTube's HTML5 Rickrolling

0 comments
YouTube's HTML5 interface has a very cool feature: if you right-click on a video, you'll no longer see the boring contextual menu displayed by the browser that added uninteresting features like downloading videos. Instead, you'll get a much more useful menu that sends you to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" video.

Some would say that this trick reminds them of the sites that annoyed users by disabling browser features like the contextual menu so that people can't save an image or copy some text. But that's not what happens here: YouTube's terms of use forbid users from downloading videos and the new menu solves this issue by offering a better option. After all, why download a video when you can listen to Rick Astley's fabulous song?


There are at least two uncivil browsers (Firefox and Opera) that treat videos just like images and allow users to right-click on a video and download it. Firefox even lets you disable custom contextual menus for all sites, while Opera provides more granular options. There's even a developer that breached YouTube's terms of use by creating a Greasemonkey script with a strange name: Youtube HTML5 Beta "Save Video As" Unrickroller. Apparently, he lost his sense of humor or he's not a Rick Astley fan.

I'm not going to use any of these features and I'll switch to Internet Explorer, a browser that doesn't offer a download option for videos (mostly because it doesn't support HTML5 videos). Whenever I want to download a YouTube video, I'll ignore all those scripts and tricks and I'll read YouTube's terms of use, while listening to Rick Astley's song. They're a perfect match.

Great place. 
It's got the best of both worlds- you have the big city feel with high-rises like these:
But you still have a small town feel where people can drive around on riding lawn mowers and feel free to leave their Christmas decor up all year round:

My kid's school is pretty close to home, which is nice:

 There's lots of lakes nearby, and the rich folk even have yachts:
And if you don't have a yacht, you can still sit from the comfort of your own car (like the one below) on the shore and watch the rich folk having fun
We've got fancy shopping:
 Speaking of Walmart, this is where "she" was born.  I'll tell ya, people are very innovative here.
*I'll tell ya, where were my "overallexceptdabellys" when I was 9 months pregnant?  I totally coulda used a pair of these...

Tho the Arkunsaw mailboxes 'round here are kinda strange...
