Hidden Game Inside YouTube Videos

The classic arcade game Snake lives on through YouTube with a clever new version hidden in certain videos.

To find it, you need to go to a video in the gaming category, click inside the area of the video, and then hold down the left arrow key.

Shortly after, a trail of white dots will start scrolling across the video, with a single blinking white dot that you need to steer your snake across.

Its kinda difficult to do on a busy background, but chances are somebody will post a plain black video to make it easier.

Enjoy!

YouTube Auto Switches Depending on Browser

YouTube has now started to test new code that will allow it to switch automatically between Flash and HTML5 depending on what browser you are using.

HTML 5 would be the first choice and then it will only force Flash when the video requires features HTML5 can't yet handle (like those annoying ads).

Unfortunately only the developers currently have access to the new code, but YouTube plans to roll it out to everyone in the future.

YouTube Still Buddy Buddy with Flash

The software engineer for YouTube says they are excited about HTML5 and what it brings but the popular video site is still closely tied to Flash content.

Many features of the site still rely heavily on Adobe's plug-in and some won't work at all without it.  Until all the kinks get worked out of HTML5, Flash isn't going anywhere.

YouTube Adds Easy Video Editor

    Viewed: 134 Times
Categories: Other, VOD/Streaming

YouTube has quietly added a video editor to its site giving users the power to join together videos using clips already posted on the site to create a new video. FYI though, they have to be clips you have uploaded.

The editor is lacking some features, but offers just enough functionality to be useful to most YouTube users, especially ones without a high end PC designed for video processing.

YouTube says it may eventually add transitions and other common tools, but there has to be a demand for it.
