Collect & Embed Videos From 6 Popular Sites Into One Player

There are multiple video sharing sites that let you upload and share just about any kind of video content but when you’re more interested in sharing videos already available online but on different sites, you end up sharing several links. Yokto is a web service that allows you to create a video playlist or channel by adding videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Daily Motion, Brightcove, UStream and slideshows from Slide Share. The service generates an embed code that allows you to share the video on your website, viewers can see a complete list of videos that you’ve added and view them all in a single player.

The service has both a paid and a free version, you have to register to use the free version. The free version allows you add videos from any of the six supported sites whereas the paid version allows you to add videos by directly uploading them from your computer. Creating a video mash up is spread out over five simple steps that start out with creating and naming the player i.e. the video mash up.

You can search and add videos directly  from the service. Once you’ve created a player, you can proceed to add media. Select which site you want to search and enter a keyword or phrase. All possible matches will be listed and you can view videos in the service. If you like a video, click the Add Video button and it will be added to your playlist. Click Organize Media when you’re done to view how many video you’ve added. To remove a video, simply drag & drop it to trash.

Click Manage Player to select a layout of how your videos will be listed along with the player. You can preview the layout below to see how your player will appear. You can set the the player to Autoplay by checking the box. This will auto play the player whenever anyone visits your page. Click Embed Code to get the embed code. Viewers will have to manually click on one of the video thumbnails to play the, as videos in the list do not play sequentially.
Copy and paste the code to wherever you want the video to appear on your site. You can create as many players as you want and edit an existing player. The site promises support for more sites in the near future.

Browse More Securely By Forcing Sites To Use HTTPS [Firefox]

Security is something everyone is taking more and more seriously; whether it’s newspaper sites getting hacked or personal information being stolen, what’s evident is that there is a lot of evil surfing the web and you could be a victim. Protecting online privacy is something that even the most naïve click-happy web surfer knows is important which is why you should be doing everything you can to protect yourself including viewing web pages over an HTTPS connection whenever you can.

HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension that ensures you always view pages over a secure channel by forcing web pages to open in HTTPS. The extension is especially useful if you often neglect to check how information is being exchanged over a particular site and surf over the HTTP connection (the default for many sites). It happens often enough that while viewing a page over an HTTPS connection, you find a link to the same site that will be on HTTP. This extension ensures that all links a user clicks on will open over HTTPS. The extension incorporates a search feature in its options to check which sites are supported and which aren’t.

The extension when we last reviewed supported only a handful of sites, the popular ones, but now it supports 1000 sites and allows you to customize them same way as before. Like before, users can add support for sites that the extension doesn’t support by following the link in the extension’s options. The extension is particularly useful if you often surf the web using public WiFi connections (at a coffee shop or airport) and don’t know who else you’re sharing a connection with.

Executing Task Remotely With A Centralized Console

DAAT is a portable JavaScript application which is designed to provide access to remote devices through the means of command executions, and remote access resources such as Remote Desktop, Network Shared folders, and other remote access applications which can be managed using the centralized console. Using DAAT, you can manage different types of network devices including clients, servers, routers and the like. DAAT makes it easy to add network devices, shared folders, and application shortcuts to a centralized management console for quick access and remote management of tasks.

When you run DAAT for the first time, you will be prompted to enter a password for the console. This password is used for authentication purposes from time to time when you attempt to perform tasks using the console. From left sidebar, you can access network devices. You can add or remove devices from respective buttons located in left sidebar.

The Access Manager displays all specified devices and allows accessing network resources such as routers, computers, etc. The rest of the shortcuts on the console let you instantly open Remote Desktop (MSTSC), VNC, SSH, network shared folders and custom shortcuts.

The Shortcuts option allows you to add custom shortcuts of applications, directories, batch files, FTP and HTTP URLs. All added shortcuts are displayed above the main window . The added shortcuts can be both local and remote files located on the network. Custom transformations can be added to display html, text and XML log files using feature-rich Ext JS components and XSL transformation. Integrating custom Ext JS components with XSL transformations saves time as it can leverage existing XSLT files provided by the software vendor.

DAAT is an open source application which works on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008.
