It couldn’t get much simpler, even if YouTube added their own download button. Replace the “Y” of any YouTube video URL with a “3” and you’ll be automatically directed to 3ouTube’s awesome download service which allows you to download the video with a click or two.

I’m always curious why some Facebook users are so guarded that they refuse to put any sort of profile picture, period. I can understand not wanting to put a picture of yourself, but at least uploading some sort of image to catch our attention would be nice.

The duo took classic frames from the videos and immortalized them by drawing them on paper which will disintegrate way before the fiberoptic cables of the internet. The internet ...

The holiday’s are finally upon us. Not that there’s anyway you DIDN’T know that. We’ve been utterly gavaged, literally force-fed holiday spirit since early-November. And we’re not talking just in our everyday life, but social networking sites have gone absolutely holiday crazy as well. We thought in the geeky spirit of the holidays, we might as well share a collection ...
