YouPlayer for Firefox (discovered by Kay) has to be one of best Firefox extensions ever and I am still surprised how I never discovered it until now.

It basically allows you to play videos from your favorite video sites such as YouTube, DailyMotion, MetaCafe, MySpace right from within your Firefox sidebar.

Users can make a playlist of videos and watch them while surfing the web. The reason I love this extension is because it kills the limitation of staying on a browser window to watch a video and allows you to enjoy it virtually anywhere you go.

Once you install this extension (link provided at the end of this post), simply click the red YP button on the bottom right section of Firefox to bring up the YouPlayer sidebar. To start watching videos, all you have to do is drag the video link from your browser to the playlist section and double click it.

And if you still think YouPlayer is not cool enough, let me tell you that YouPlayer also allows you to even drag local files from hard drive into playlist and if you want you can download videos from YouTube by right clicking their link in the playlist and selecting Download.

We iphone users know exactly how difficult it is for us to survive without having copy and paste functionality. Apple does have this under consideration but according to them its not a priority.

Perhaps with the new open-source community project called OpenClip, it will be possible for users to use copy and paste functionality among some iPhone apps without begging Apple to add this feature to the firmware.

This is how it works, when a developer adds the OpenClip framework to an iPhone app, that app gains copy and paste functionality. So basically it all comes down to how willing and supportive the iPhone app developers are. GeekBrief has also made a video demo of the copy/paste functionality being used within some native iPhone apps.

The OpenClip framework does not violate the iPhone SDK Agreement in any way so developers don’t need to worry about getting busted by Apple. The best of all is that the OpenClip framework is non-profit and open source.Here you can see a list of all upcoming apps for iPhone that support copy and paste functionality.

Download Statusbar is a Firefox Extension for users who do not want the Firefox download window to get in way of their browsing.

The fully customizable interface of this Firefox addon auto-hides when not in use, allowing full control without interruption.

Other interesting feature of this addon is the in-line preview of percent done, speed in KBs, KBs downloaded so far and remaining time.

According to a report by TorrentFreak, older versions of uTorrent may not be that secure after all.

A recent vulnerability discovered in earlier versions of uTorrent and BitTorrent clients can be exploited to compromise a computer for the execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the processing of .torrent files. This could allow an attacker to remotely execute artibitary code on the victims machine.
