Tech tutorial site Gil’s Method details how to download and save web video from YouTube, MySpace and Google Video using the Firefox Video Downloader extension and Media Coder. Why the big rigamarole?
The reason you have to go through this process to download the videos is due to the fact that content providers (YouTube, Google Video, and others) use special formats that do not allow playback in traditional media players (i.e. Windows Media Player, Itunes, and others); as such this method allows you to save the downloaded video files to a universal .avi file that you can play back on any media player.
We’ve covered this ground a couple of different ways before but this is a good step by step to pass on to your brother.

The free, open source Ophcrack Live CD is a Windows account password cracking tool designed to help you recover lost Windows passwords.
After you download the 462mb .iso and burn it to a CD, just restart your computer and boot up the Live CD. Once the CD boots, Ophcrack automatically loads and is on its way to cracking your password. So how well does it work?
Honestly… Ophcrack is creepy. It cracked my (somewhat mediocre) 13-character alphanumeric password in about 5 minutes. Like most powerful tools, Ophcrack can be used for the forces of both good and evil, but for anyone who’s been locked out of their Windows user account because you can’t remember your password, Ophcrack can be very good. It may also encourage you to beef up the security of your user account password – that’s what it did for me. Thanks K-milo!

Web site SmartSetr lets you create smart sets for your Flickr account based on predefined criteria, like tags, text, date taken, or date uploaded.
In a nutshell, SmartSetr works a lot like iTunes Smart playlists – but for your Flickr account. This is an incredible tool for any prolific tagger and lover of advanced filtering, providing a quick and easy way to create image sets when you already know which tags, for example, you’d like to include. As of this writing, you have to manually refresh the smart sets through SmartSetr if you want it to update a set with the latest images, but the app’s author claims automatic updates are on the way – meaning dynamic, smart Flickr sets aren’t far away. Flickr lovers rejoice! SmartSetr is free, requires read-write access to your Flickr account.
