How to Add YouTube Video to Your PowerPoint Slideshow

Method:1



YouTube is definitely the world’s biggest and most famous video sharing website. Videos uploaded to YouTube have hit 60 hours per minute. If you want to add YouTube video to your PowerPoint slideshow, what will you do? Copy the URL and hyperlink to your PowerPoint slide? Or embed the YouTube video code into PowerPoint 2010? Both of the ways are great, but you need Internet connection to play the YouTube video when you’re viewing the PowerPoint presentation, for the YouTube video is still on the web.

The best solution should be downloading YouTube video to your computer and then inserting into PowerPoint slide. Before that, we should mention that currently YouTube video is basically in 3 video formats: MP4, FLV and WebM. WebM derives from MKV format but was remade by Google with its VP8 code. None of these formats are supported by PowerPoint 2007 or previous versions. PowerPoint 2010 can support MP4 format, after you have installed QuickTime Player.

If the YouTube video format is not supported by your PowerPoint, you should convert YouTube video to PowerPoint-friendly AVI or WMV format. So this article will include two parts: download YouTube video and convert YouTube video to AVI.

1. Download YouTube video


YouTube doesn’t offer a “Download” link itself, but we do have many third party solutions, which could be divided into 3 kinds:
  • Online application: Copy the YouTube video URL to their websites and then you can download YouTube video there, like keepvid.com.

  • YouTube Downloader: Software to download YouTube videos freely and you need to install on your computer first. Take Moyea YouTube Downloader for example, it supports downloading YouTube video by entering the URL or capturing the video while you’re watching online.
  • YouTube Downloader


  • Other: If you are using Firefox, you can also download YouTube video for free after installing some add-ons for YouTube downloading.

2. Convert YouTube video to AVI


By converting YouTube video to AVI you can put YouTube video on your PowerPoint. You can directly convert downloaded YouTube video to other formats in Moyea YouTube Downloader. Here is also a Free YouTube to AVI Converter for you. It enables you convert video formats like MP4, WMV, MOV, M4V, MPEG, RMVB, etc. to AVI format for your PowerPoint.

Finally, insert YouTube video into PowerPoint


Run PowerPoint program, click “Insert” → “Video” → “Video from File”, browse the converted YouTube video and then you can add it to your PowerPoint slide.

why my torrent is blocked



With a lot of help, I finally figured out a way around my school's tireless efforts to stop me from using torrents. I commend NetOps on a hard-fought battle, gg. They employed a three pronged strategy:
(If you don't want to relive my drama, skip to the "How to do it" parts)

1. Blocking BitTorrent protocol < Protocol Encryption

To get around the most obvious block, you just need to download the right BitTorrent client(program). Any client that supports Protocol Encryption (P.E.) is fine. I don't know exactly how it works, but it makes it so you can transfer with anyone else that has P.E. enabled. The majority of people that have to use P.E. are the ones blocked on college campuses with very nice connections, so there's a huge amount of bandwidth transfer between them. Note: If any of you norms want to tap into our black-market bandwidth, you just have to enable P.E.

How to do it:
For Windows users, I recommend uTorrent. I like it because it's lightweight and straightforward but still supports the needed features.
http://download.utorrent.com/1.6/utorrent.exe

For Windows/Mac/Linux, Azureus. I used to use this but then I got annoyed with all those extraneous doodads, and uTorrent was simpler to configure.
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php?os=1

With uTorrent, I did the following:
Options > Preferences > BitTorrent > the last frame is Protocol Encryption
Outgoing: Enabled
Allow Incoming Legacy Connections: Checked (I don't know what this is, I just checked it for the hell of it)

If you're not using uTorrent, it shouldn't be hard to find something like that in your client's configuration.

2 and 3. Blocking tracker connections + Blocking download of .torrent extensions < Proxy Server

NetOps changed up their attack strategy a few times. For a while, I couldn't download anything that ended in .torrent. Very few torrent sites have torrents as .txt files, and it was somehow smart enough to block those, too. Some weekends, a new VOD would be released and I wouldn't be able to get a hold of my friends who sent me torrents. In my desperation, I ended up having to download things for people in exchange for a .torrent file.. like a cheap whore for her latest fix. Those days are behind me now.

One day, though, I found that I could actually download a .torrent file. I thought it might be a fluke, so I tried downloading several more. Success! With skeptical excitement, I cautiously opened the files in uTorrent to find... not a single tracker was working. uTorrent would be able to transfer if it just knew who to transfer with. Damn you. Damn you, NetOps, for using such cruel tactics.

I had heard of proxy servers, but the two problems I had were that I didn't have a spare computer off campus to run the server, and I didn't like the idea of my amazing bandwidth being bottlenecked by my crappy connection at home. The Solutions: There are lots of free proxy servers online, and uTorrent lets you proxy the tracker connection without proxying the actual peer-to-peer connections. This lets me hide a connection to the trackers so my torrents can see who to transfer with. Then, Protocol Encryption does the rest of the work.

How to do it:
You can Google for free proxies, but I couldn't get any of them to work. So I used this thing called Your Freedom.
http://www.your-freedom.net/
Once you register, you have access to their network of proxy servers. Then they have you download the Your Freedom program, which connects you to the optimal server.

Then you have your torrent program connect to the Your Freedom program. With uTorrent, I did:
Options > Preferences > Connection > the second frame Proxy Server
Type: Socks4
Proxy: localhost
Port: 1080
(make sure to have "use proxy server for peer-to-peer connections" UNchecked)

Connect Your Freedom and start up your torrents, voila.

I also imagine that if .torrent files are blocked again, I can just connect FireFox/IE to the Your Freedom program to download the file.

If your campus employs other tactics, post here. I'm sure the Proxy Server/PE combo can find a way around it. If not, we'll just have to find other ways to stick it to the man!

Thanks, ToT)SiLeNcE(, ManaBlue and Manifesto7 for your initial help with the tracker, and thanks Haemonculus for sending me .torrent files. Plus, props to uTorrent for running a helpful forum.

PS. If iNcontroL ever asks you to make a random wish, do it.

How to Share Tata Photon Between Multiple Computers







Here are a few simple tricks to share Tata Photon between multiple computers at the same time.
If you are based in India, and are mobile lot of time, you have probably heard about Tata Photon. It is one of the best mobile broadband internet connections. It works across many cities in India, and gives a pretty good internet speed even when you are mobile.
The only problem with Tata Photon is that it can work on only one computer at a time as it has to be put in USB drive of the computer on which you want to use it.
However, there is a small trick that lets you share Tata Photon connection across multiple computers. Read on.
Tata Photon


How to Use Tata Photon on Multiple Computers Together:

The simple trick is to convert the wifi of your PC into a Wifi modem that can broadcast your internet connection to multiple computers. So, if there is any other computer close to your computer, it can connect to your internet connection (with your permission).
There are many software that do this. My two personal favorite are: Connectify, and Maryfi.
Both of these software are free. Once you install these, you can share you can convert your computer into a Wifi hotspot. Any other computer will see your internet connection as a normal wireless internet. You will be able to provide a password also for your internet connection, so that only those who are authorized can connect to your internet connection.
So, if you install any of these free software on your computer, you can share your Tata Photon connection with multiple computers simultaneously. It will decrease the performance of Tata Photon, but nevertheless, you’ll be able to at least browse internet on multiple PCs together.
If you are a Tata Photon user, and have any other similar tip, do let us know in comments section.





Download Connectify – Turn Laptop into Wireless HotSpot











Connectify is a free software that turns your laptop into a wireless hotspot so that you can share internet with other computers around you. Connectify converts laptop to wireless router for any network it is connected to, as long as you are running Windows 7.
Connectify does function well though and it serves its purpose as an extra point of connection for wireless devices in your home or on the move. Having an extra router can also be useful for boosting connection speeds and getting internet connection in the more difficult to access areas of the home.
Wireless connection setup in Connectify.

Here are some of the features of Connectify:

  • Take any internet connection and share it wirelessly.
  • No additional hardware required.
  • Connect any wirelessly capable device to the network.
  • Unlimited devices can connect.
  • Free to download and use.
  • Do not pay for multiple device connection when on the move.
  • Kept secure using WPA2 encryption.

Turn your Laptop into a Wireless HotSpot:

The main advantage of software is to turn your laptop into a wireless hotspot is that it allows you to create another internet access point. This means that wireless connectivity is easy to achieve, regardless of where in the house you are. For example, you could quite easily have your main router downstairs and a laptop acting as a router upstairs. It’s simple.
If you need a wifi scanner, you can use Meraki Wifi Stumbler, and Easy Wifi.
Thoughts…
The biggest advantage of being able to convert your laptop into a wireless hotspot is that you can let other computers and devices around your laptop connect to that network. This would be especially handy while you are travelling and have more than one device to connect to internet. The only limitation of this software is that it works only with Windows.

7 Reasons Why The Windows Phone 7 Is THE iPhone Killer


The sleeping giant is back. With yesterday’s announcement of the new Windows Phone 7 I believe we are seeing the rise of Phone 7 as the iPhone killer. Forget Android, this is the one you need to pay attention to.
Why? Scale, style and apps are the key reasons. Not to mention one of the longest computing heritages and a suite of services that range from business to entertainment, browsing and searching.
The Windows Phone 7 hooks this all together in a way that puts the market on its head. Instead of emulating what others have done, Microsoft has taken a radical approach to the phone. I give you 7 reasons why I believe this is the one.

1. Tiles

From the get go, this just looks better. The tile function of the screen replaces the icon displays seen on the iPhone and the Android with living breathing tiles. Just picking up the phone you can see what is going on in your world without opening any app.
I know we can have push notifications on the iPhone and alerts on the Android but they both require some element of effort. The push notifications don’t always hang around on your iPhone and on the Nexus I have to slide the thing down and then read through the various bits.
This delivery of information is just one example of how Microsoft are looking to fully innovate with this phone, not just deliver a version of what the market is used to.

2. Hub Strategy

The Hub strategy is core for Windows Phone 7 and it makes a lot of sense. So, I will have a music hub in the shape of the Zune app. But this app is not restricted to content I have uploaded to, or bought in Zune, but all the music content on my ‘phone. On my iPhone I have many music apps, each with different content. I have to remember where my music is before I can play it. With the 7 I can access my music in the various apps, or I can have a centralised hub of music.

Take the hub strategy across to other content, like business documents and Office becomes the business hub. This strategy gives me the best of both worlds, I can use my preferred app or I can find it in the main hub. Smart.

3. Sexy Apps, Lots of Apps

It’s all about the apps. We saw some great app demonstrations yesterday from some of the biggest names in Apps. Seesmic, Foursquare, Shazam, the Associated Press – all bringing apps to the 7. So, we don’t need to worry about not having the big names you are used to. It looks like they are already lining up to come on board.

Quality Apps - the demonstrations we saw yesterday (longer post here) all looked awesome with plenty of depth, functionality and interaction. These apps were developed in 3 weeks running the new Silverlight platform announced yesterday. With around six months before the 7 will be released there is plenty of time to further develop great apps.
Try before you buy - forget this lite/pro app business. You get to download the app as a trial. The functionality for the trial is core to the new Silverlight toolbox, so it is down to the app developers to decide the best way for the trial. Some apps may be fully functional but on a limited trial time. Other apps may have limited functionality or the first few levels of a game.

4. Games

Did we mention games? Forget Flight Control, how about full on XBOX action on your phone? The graphics look up to it and the game levels, credits and achievements will be recorded against your Live profile.
This cross performance works on a number of levels. Not only will you be able to continue playing your XBOX games on the phone (we don’t know right now if you can play all of them) but also that it remembers you across platforms so you can pick up where you left off when at home in front of your XBOX.  In a sense, this is what Sony has been trying to achieve with the PSP/PS3 hook up, but with all the other mobile bits added.
If the 7 can be an awesome entertainment platform as well as the business platform of Microsoft’s heritage, this could be amazing.

5. A Great App Marketplace

One of the initial stumbling blocks for Android was the Market. Not only did it not have as many apps as ITunes, the actual interface was horrible (that’s a technical term.) The new market interface is better but still hard to find stuff.
What about billing? iTunes billing is great, if you have a credit card and an iTunes account. Android again, you need a card and a Google Checkout account. So Microsoft will launch with credit card payments, operator billing, and try before you buy.
The operator billing alone should extend the potential reach of app users (anyone under 18 for starters) and offer another convenient way to buy apps.

6. Email

The 7 will have full capability to support not just Exchange accounts but all other major email providers as well. So, you don’t need to have an Exchange account to be using this for email. However, if you do have exchange, this will be a boon.
Remember, the iPhone has Exchange support but the Android does not offer Active Sync. The 7 will offer multiple exchange account sync which will also be good for business users. Let us not forget there are still a lot more people running Exchange emails than Gmail or Apple Mail. Blackberry, are you paying attention?

7. Mesh. Finally

Remember Mesh? Microsoft’s plans to sync your life across channels and platforms? It seemed a little ahead of its time back then but with the 7, finally everything comes into place. Music, work, games, contacts all come of age in one place.

What we forget (or I certainly did) is that Microsoft has all the component parts to serve my digital life. Email, Search, Gaming, Music. Until now some of those have been a bit crap, the Zune didn’t really inspire, don’t get me started on Vista and pre bing, search wasn’t too hot either.
Roll forward a year and Windows plans are coming together. With the phone the potential centre of my digital universe I tend to gravitate to the platform that gives me the greatest experience to hook them all together. The iPhone gets better but doesn’t perfectly integrate my Google life. Nor does Android completely – Gmail, Google apps yes but other accounts like Google Finance still don’t hook up.
Microsoft is the sleeping giant. Historically not as sexy as Apple, and not as fast as Google. The 7  phone is the show piece if not the centre piece of their empire which will help them back on the path to greatness.
Of course this post assumes Microsoft can get the hardware right. We have seen some great things, beautiful graphics, great games but will the hardware be up to it? Multi tasking is not coming which is probably a smart reason to manage the hardware drain. No doubt they will be working hard to find the right partners to deliver the best handset possible. A glitch in the hardware could be the undoing of such great potential.
Until we start to see handsets in the wild, I will remain with my view that this is the iPhone Killer. You heard it here first.

How to Protect Your Web Server From Hackers ?


computer hackers
Creating your own website is not simply about putting some pages and information online. Ensuring the security of your website is a bigger and highly crucial task. Most websites these days have a dedicated web server that gives them the leverage to grow and develop further. Basically the websites with a high volume of web traffic, a heavy database and complex application specifications require an exclusive web server. It is extremely important to hack proof your web server in order to protect your website and business.
There are a great number of hackers out there in the web world who are looking for opportunities to exploit your web server and cause serious damage. These hackers look to deface the websites with malicious content, use the scripts on the server to send out spam or phish out the personal sensitive information of the website users. Such attacks also attempt to tamper with parameters and gain access to confidential files or cross-site scripting or cookie poisoning to alter the customer data. These kinds of invasions can prove to be fatal for e-commerce and finance based websites. To prevent your web server from falling prey to such web attacks, here are some important recommendations and anti hacking tips.You need to follow a two-pronged approach to safeguard your web server from any hackers.
The first layer is a firewall that exists to block any unwarranted unused Internet ports. A good firewall will use a rule based access system to allow only the legitimate users to enter and filter out as well as obstruct any malicious traffic from accessing the server. Also create strong passwords that use a combination of characters, numbers and special characters in order to keep the password hackers at bay.
The second element is to put in place an intrusion protection service. This is a more sophisticated approach to deal with hackers wherein you stop the illegitimate entry of users at the source itself. If a firewall works on the front line, an intrusion protection system works on the back end to deal with the enemies. This involves putting all the compromised hosts in the quarantine section and letting the genuine users move through efficiently. But setting up such an anti-hacking arrangement is only the first step. The hackers are moving fast and ahead with newer techniques to break into and sabotage the web servers. So, you need to continually update and monitor the filters, blacklists and all other aspects.
