Play Youtube videos faster and without buffering


Here are the steps for watching Youtube videos without buffers:

1)Open your brower and go to m.youtube.com. or if you have already opened a video replace the www. with m. For example: Change http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1D5goGz0SY to http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1D5goGz0SY

2)Search for your favorite video and open it.

3) Click on the video and you may either be prompted to  Launch an application or get a error.

In case of a error with something like cannot identify rtsp protocol, goto http://www.real.com/player, download and install the realplayer. After intalling realplayer goto step 4.


4) Now your video will be loaded in realplayer or any other 3gp players. It will load without buffering as its highly compressed.


Note : As, the video is made to watch in mobile phones, its highly compressed and you may not get the best quality

Create an invisible folder


How to create a really invisible folder without using hiding option in properties

This is a trick to make a folder invisible. We are not going to try to hide the file anywhere. In fact the folder would be right before your eyes but you can’t see it. Sounds intriguing? Actually it is very simple – just 2 steps.
Here’s how:
You can either create a new folder or choose an existing folder. While naming or renaming the folder hold [Alt] Key and enter “0160” (without the quotes). Release the [Alt] Key. You can notice that the name part of the folder is just a blank. What we have done is we have inserted a ‘Non-Breaking Space‘ as the name of the folder virtually making it appear as if the folder has no name. You can’t do this just by typing a space using the space-bar. That doesn’t work. Try it for yourself.
Now right-click on the folder and select “Properties” and choose the “Customize” tab. Click on the “Change Icon” button. Scroll along and you should find a few blank spaces. Click on any one of them and click Ok. That’s it. You can’t see the folder anymore.
Of course, if you select the folder (click on the folder), it will get highlighted.
