HTML5 YouTube viewer: close, but not quite there

Works great in Chromium for Linux, you do need to install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree first though.

You managed to shut them down for the day! Poor guys losing all their followers.

The apt link doesn't work :(

Deluge: Cross-platform BitTorrent client

Apr 18th 2008 6:26PM on Download Squad

I think Deluge is great, fast, stable and has some great plugins (creating most of the funtionality). I've been using it from Dapper to Hardy and it's been brillant, much better than uTorrent under Wine.

Ubuntu Hardy: The latest and greatest or a total mess?

Interesting your criticism of Firefox 3.

That is one of my favourite new additions to Hardy (despite not being a core Ubuntu program), it is blazing fast, low memory usage and the new address bar is genius -- how could it not be widely implemented before?

Mozilla says Firefox 3 beta is ready for prime time, we beg to differ

Far more stable than Firefox 2 for me, but doesn't properly render Google Reader. Using Linux.

Professor on a crusade to stop Google and Wikipedia in the classroom

I should hope she's not gonna ban Google Scholar as well, which is as good as, if not better than PubMed. I believe being able to get a grasp of the subject is extremely important before further study into it. Wikipedia provides a simple overview which can be extremely helpful.

Google to offer full refunds on Video purchases

Aug 21st 2007 12:08PM on Download Squad

"Google recently caused something of a commotionwith their announcement that Google Video would be shutting down"

This is a bit misleading -- they're not shutting down (yet!), just not offering paid content anymore.

Go to church, get some iTunes

I'm not at all surprised a church has sunk this low to lure numbers in.

Study: you probably have 880 MP3s and 100 PDF files on your PC

Aug 3rd 2007 1:26PM on Download Squad

I've got 8 times more mp3s than the average user. I would never gamble online though.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I want a 13-incher. I need something with a great keyboard for typing, as this will mostly be used for note taking in class. I am absolutely smitten with the XPS 13, but I'm afraid that with its age Dell is going to give it an update soon. Any advice for someone in my shoes?"
