Google The Empire

This morning I was reading some articles at Neowin and came across Google is way bigger than you realize by Benjamin Rubenstein.  It was interesting to see a virtual representation showing the approximate number of dedicated servers from major tech companies.  But that’s not why I am writing this post.   I started to read the comments of others and found a link on YouTube which I found humorous.

Droid

Looks like I found my new phone. 

I’ve been looking into getting a new phone when my contract comes up in 2010.  Need to head over to a Verizonwireless store to check one out.  I’ven been please with my current phone (LG Chocolate 8550) but I want something new.  Besides, anytime a commerical mentions duct tape, SCUD missile, the use of power tools, it’s got to be good.  Right??

Google Chrome OS

Today I watched the presentation from Google about Chrome OS.  Very interesting.  I would like to download a copy and run it in a VM.  If the final product looks as polished and stable and I think, then this will be my new OS when I purchase a netbook.

Release date some time in late 2010.

Downloading Who’s Line is it Videos from YouTube

One of my favorite TV shows was “Who’s Line is it Anyway” from ABC.  I was bummed the show was cancelled several years ago, and never thought too much of it since then.  About two weeks ago I was on YouTube and found clips from Who’s Line.  After watching a few of them, I decided to download the video to my Linux PC and move the video into the path /home/george/Video/YouTube/Whos Line.  However, the YouTube down is not installed with Ubuntu.  You need to install the file from the universe repository using the following steps:

  • Open a Terminal Window
  • enter without quotes “sudo apt-get install youtube-dl”
  • enter your password

Leaving the Terminal Window open, you can down run the command youtube-dl <url address of the video>.  In a few minutes the file will download to your /home directory as a .flv file.  Now I hate the fact when the file downloads the title of the file make no sense to me what so ever.  If you change the command to youtube-dl -l <url address>, the title of the video will be inserted into the file name.  To see the list of other parameters for downloading videos type youtube-dl -h.
