Download YouTube Videos for Your iPhone and iPod
UPDATE: YouTube has reworked their site in response to this article. If you get an error when trying to download a YouTube video, please try some of the plug-ins and scripts listed in step #3.YouTube.com is a great resource. Not many sites allows users to freely upload, view, and share video clips like YouTube does. YouTube even lets users easily post videos on their blogs and personal web sites. But because anyone can upload a video clip on YouTube, copyright violations are rampant.
In an effort to prevent the widespread distribution of illegal copied video files, YouTube encodes its video files in the Macromedia Flash format, which prevents viewers from downloading files and making digital copies.
Here's a step-by-step MethodShop.com tutorial on how to rip video files off YouTube and convert them for an iPod Video, Apple TV, iTunes or iPhone. This trick will work on Mac or PC using Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer.

YouProfit with YouTube
In an effort to stay competitive with revenue sharing viral video sites like Revver, Chad Hurley, co-founder of YouTube, said that his site will start sharing profits with its millions of users. The announcement was made during Hurley's speech at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland this past Saturday. Many active YouTube users have started removing their videos and reposting them on Revver so they can make some money off their hard work. Revver started sharing profits with their users back in October of 2005."We are getting an audience large enough where we have an opportunity to support creativity, to foster creativity through sharing revenue with our users... So in the coming months we are going to be opening that up" Hurley said.How much will popular YouTube posters like The Wine Kone or Adam Wade start making off their videos? It's still unknown. Hurley didn't go into any payment details during his speech.
About 70 million videos are viewed daily on YouTube, which was sold to Google for $1.65 billion last year.

Topless Japanese New Years
A "wardrobe malfunction" during a New Year's Eve broadcast apparently exposed the Japanese public to a little more than they were expecting. Several showgirl-style dancers performing with DJ Ozma went "topless" about 2 minutes and 20 seconds into his song "Bounce With Me."The performance was part of a New Year's Eve special on the Japanese television network NHK. According to a Reuters report, NHK TV was flooded with viewer complaints after the broadcast and had to issue an official apology.
But hold on. Were the girls really topless? According to the website Japancast, the dancers were all just wearing flesh-colored body suits with exposed breasts painted on them. Is it a lie? Is NHK just trying to cover its ass? Maybe you should watch the DJ Ozma New Year's performance and decide for yourself.
Here's a link to the "topless" clip but NHK keeps complaining and having YouTube take the video down. You can also try searching for "DJ Ozma" on YouTube. As soon as you find the video, try to download it to your computer. It shouldn't be too hard to find the clip. People are reposting it faster than YouTube can pull it down.
