Pimp Out Safari Using Glims

I use Safari as my main web browser, with Firefox as a backup. Now I have nothing ageist Firefox at all, as a matter of fact I have it on my mac as a backup and for uploading youtube videos (the uploader crashes Safari). But, one thing I do wish Safari had is add-ons. Now, in this tutorial, I am going to be showing you how you can somewhat achieve this. I am going to be showing you who to use a program called Glims. Now, Glims is not going to give you add-ons like Firefox ha, but it will atlas offer you some customizability to Safari. It allows you to tweak just about everything from tab management, to search engines. So, yes I would recommend Glims to every Safari user, and before I bore you any more by typing on and on, watch the video below and see for yourself what Glims can do for you.

Renaming Multiple Files at Once in OS X

I know we have all been there, you have a folder full of files and you need to add something after the name of each of them. This is a task that most people choose to do the hard way, by renaming each file individually. However if you want a program to rename all of the files for you, then you might have invested in some software that can do that kind of stuff. What I bet you didn't know though, is that you can do this for free on any installation of OS X. The application you will be using is called Automator. Now, as well as being very useful in many ways that people have no clue of, Automator also possesses the capability to rename things in a batch fashion. In the video below, I show you how to build a simple 2 step workflow that will have you batch renaming files in less than five minutes. So without further ado, enjoy.

How to Download Youtube Videos

Have you ever wanted to download youtube videos to watch on your computer or ipod? Well it is a simple process that can easily be done a ton of different ways. However, for this video I am going to show you two and tell you about one.
The first tool I would like to mention is KeepVid. KeepVid is a very simple website that allows you to paste in a link to a youtube video and it will give you a link to download in either .mp4 or .flv format.
The next two that I am going to tell you about are MPEG StreamClip and a Firefox Addon. These are both things that you install on your computer to download videos, but they offer more functionality. So to find out more information about them watch the video below.
