Minitube

February 11, 2012 Blog No comments

Tired of watching sloppy video playback from YouTube? I was, and it got me pretty exited when I came across this project called minitube.

It’s basically a browser for YouTube, you can search content (of course), add playlists, share videos to your Twitter/Facebook account but also via e-mail. But best of all, it can float on top of your screen so you can do some productive work while watching your favorites:) Pretty awesome when you want to follow a tutorial or just general multitasking. The app runs on Linux (GTK), OS X & Windows. The user interface is clean and simple, no clutter;)

One of the other things I found which is a huge plus and worth to mention is that the playback is flawless! And this has never been the case for me.

Gnome Shell Extensions

February 9, 2012 Blog No comments

For everyone using Gnome 3 (the awesomest DE!) they have launched a pretty wicked shell extension site, it’s still in alpha but worked great for me.

You can create an account, write comments and even upload your own extension, but the main thing is they feature a one-click installer for existing extensions, just hit that link and the selected extension is installed and even loaded directly, no download/install/restart crap. It will also detect currently installed extensions, this thing is just awesome! One thing I miss though, is the ability to search for extensions, but I am sure they will fix this:) Check it out here.
