No addons, no special FireFox extension just go to http://www.keepvid.com/ and past the URL in their box his go and it'll ask where you want to save the .FLV flash video to.
Simply select the appropriate drop down and paste the URL from that site and DOWNLOAD!
FYI:
They have links below the .FLV download box for a FLV to WMV,AVI convertor. That link directs you to a pay converter. There are tons of free online converters and http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/download.htm seems to be the best one
Here is a really good 5minute tutorial which shows you how to use mediacoder and shows you how to play FLV files if you need help with that.

WTF Google Moon?
http://moon.google.com/
Apparently the guys over at Google made a little Google moon site (Yes I realize this is an old site) with images provided to them by NASA. This has always been an interesting subject to me. I'm still not quite sure who to believe so I turn to you bloggers out there for insight.
What's funny to me is that even if you zoom in I still don't see a flag. Yeah I know "Gio the flag is way too small to be seen from earth" Sure but why hasn't some telescope from space picked it up, at the very least to debunk all the conspiracy theorists.
What do you guys think? These guys seem pretty convinced it happened.

New Blogger Ajax Search and Polls features
I like turtles, and I like ajax. go ahead test that search bar up there ^
Blogger now has a new Ajax google search bar which you can add if you have upgraded your blogger template to blogger 3.0 with elements.
if you already have a 3.0 template and you don't see the new
or the new poll feature it's because you haven't logged into "draft.blogger.com" which will allow you to use all the latest elements in beta.You know you're on the draft blogger site because the banner at the top will look like this:
Blogger Video OH SNAP!
The videos are in fact hosted on googlevideos and not on youtube or anything like that.
Videos uploads take about 5 minutes before they're viewable after you upload them and they're kept private so no one will be able to find them on youtube or googlevideos unless of course they reupload it to those particular sites.
when posting a new blog there is a new icon 
which will then popup a diaglog much like the photo button does when you add a photo to a blog only this time you can add videos.
Check out the player below:

Embedding Google Streets Maps
Google just launched a new feature that allows you to Embed a Google maps address to you blog or web page. Unfortunately though the feature is not availible for google streets
Fortunately there is a site that will allow you to embed you street maps to any page and it's http://streetviewr.com/embed/ .
Simply past the link that google provides to you.....
...into their site and you'll get the code that will allow you to do this:
Whoops.. little too close!
**Note
If this Embed page gives you code that looks like this:
<>< width="425" height="350" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="">svc/gsv_view_private.php?cbll=37.320658,-121.876423&....">< /iframe >
As it did me, make sure to change "svc/gsv_view_private.php?" to "embed/gsv_public.php?" and all shall be well again.

Youtube helps put faces to pesky text based news
News stories online getting bland and boring lately? Are you tired of just plaino reading stuff online? Well Youtube is helping you be illiterate by actually having videos with their news posting on news.google.com. IMAGINE THAT! TV SMIVY..
No but seriously this is pretty cool, and I'm surprise it took someone this long to do this.
For our initial launch, we have included several top news sources such as CBS, Reuters, and a number of local Hearst TV stations. Over the next few months, we'll continue to add new sources as fast as we can. Right now we're just offering this addition in the U.S., the UK, and Ireland; we hope to make it available in other languages and editions soon. -googlenewsblog
So basically the have some pretty heavy hitters which they'll be linking to their news articles with more on the way.

Gmail to replace all College Email
Gmail seems to be the webmail of choice for college students and colleges are starting to look towards Gmail to replace exisiting mail applications. According to Arstechnica.com 5 colleges have already started the conversion and many over seas have begun as well and Email is just the beginning.
"We found that 25% of the students were already forwarding their e-mails to Gmail, which was more reliable, offered more storage, and had better accessibility than what existed,"

Youtube .. Desktop?
Themes
You can change through 1 of 3 different themes currently available. I'm sure more should be on the way
Zooming
From
(Click to enlarge)
to
(Click to enlarge)
There are a few different zoom features. One of them allows you to change the size of the video icons on the current page you're viewing. Allowing you to see
YTD saves the last 20 videos you plays in a tab at the top which reads (you guessed it) "Last 20 played". Also clicking on a video while you're currently viewing a video will add that video to the play list and will begin playing after that video is complete.
Saving Videos!
Finally and what I believe to be the best feature of the entire site is the feature that allows you to save the videos directly from the web page to your PC in 3GP,MP4,MOV,WMV,AVI,ZIP,FLV, or even EXE. The conversion process is done on the fly and you can even see the progress of the conversion on the bottom bar by highlighting the video

I'm back, and changing things up
A lot has change since my last post. Rather then just have the blog specifically for GMail from now on I'm going to try to cover everything google has to offer. From it's services on youtube and To googlepages to spreadsheets and myspace. So look out for more updates later on and more tutorials and hacks.
The biggest update so far is Gmail is now available via your mobile phone which makes it easier for guys like myself that have Verizon's Motorola Q and are having trouble connecting to pop with it. It's an application that you download once and then you can receive emails real time, just like at home.
"Get Gmail on your mobile phone
It's new and it's fast. To try it for yourself, point your phone to gmail.com/app
Download it once, and start accessing Gmail on your phone with just a click or two. You'll also like it because:Learn more about Gmail for mobile devices."
- It has the same Gmail interface you know and love
- Your account stays synchronized whether you access it from your computer or the phone
- You can easily view attachments such as photos, documents and .pdf files

Unlimated space.
Google announced that it is going to be giving virtually unlimated space as it comes available so you'll litterally NEVER have to delete an email because your space will continually keep growing!
They've also added 12 more languages which include; Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, simplified and traditional Chinese. And UK English.
Just to add icing to the cake they finally added formating to emails like Fonts, bullets and highlighting in over 60 different colors

New(er) features!
New features! :
wahoo, Just when you thought it couldn't get any better.
Gmail drops a bomb
An easier way to send up to 10MB of photos
Gmail now works with Picasa, Google's free photo organizer. Use Picasa to easily find, edit and preview your photos. Log in to Gmail directly from Picasa and send the photos from your Gmail account. Picasa even automatically resizes your photos so they're easier to receive and open. Your friends without such large email accounts will thank you. Learn more
Not just any old computer. Actually, yes, any old computer!
Basic HTML view lets you access your Gmail messages from almost any computer running almost any web browser, even old ones (not just IE5.5+, Mozilla, and Safari). Especially great for traveling, since you never know what kind of browser that internet café in Siberia is going to have. Learn more
Freaking awesome. I can send people pictures without having to open up photoshop!
I can't get over how awesome plain jan html browsing is. I can finally view my email via my phones web browser. I swear google is reading my mind. Just last week I was like "Man all this java sucks I can't login via my treo 650" and now boom, tuff actin tanacting :D good stuff all around from google. I wouldn't expect anything less.
