Flash Video Download

There are many softwares, extensions, plugins and addons or even websites that allow you to snatch flash videos most importantly youtube videos. But actually theres a continent method to download these videos. Simply wait for the player to load the video completely and then go to following path in your computer,
  • Firefox
    • goto C:\Documents and Settings\<your profile name here>\Local Settings\Temp
    • and locate a file that begins with fla***.tmp, sorting based on most recently created / modified file with a considerable size file (depends on the duration of the video usually couple of megabytes)
    • copy paste it somewhere else and thats your video (just make sure you dont close the browser with the loaded video until you copy it)
  • Chrome
    • goto C:\Documents and Settings\<your profile name here>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache
    • and sort files based on most recently created / modified file with a relevant file size (depends on the duration of the video usually couple of megabytes)
    • copy paste it somewhere else and thats your video (just make sure you dont close the browser with the loaded video until you copy it)
This saves the trouble of having to use other software to get this done

Oasis is one tough headset

I've been using a Sony Ericsson PV-702 bluetooth headset which i brought couple of years ago and it was just fine although now it looks a bit bulky and a chunk of plastic from a distance. But nothing to complain because its an outdated model. This is until one day i start looking for the small fella and realise its not to be found anywhere. After looking for it everywhere possible it occurred to me may be i didn't take it off the pocket this is of course after a day or so and to see it was there in the pocket but of course it has been washed and dried also, i knew there was no way its was gonna work but gave it a shot and realized i was right.

So now i start looking for another headset because until you lose it you wont realize how difficult life without a handsfree and checked out Motorola website to see if they have anything interesting because their accessories are usually better than cheap plastic ones Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung mostly have to offer and voila i find Oasis with good set of features and decide to go ahead a buy although its a bit pricy.


So why am i writing this? because i tend not to learn from the mistakes and keep repeating them, guess what the new fella also has to go through another roller coaster ride in the washing machine just after couple of days. I take the damn thing out from the washing machine and it was socking wet and was giving a one last try by trying to dry it using a hair dryer and then kept it for few days. Just to make sure before i switch it on back i placed it in a bowl of rice since rise tend to be work like silica absorb humid.

Finally i switch it on and wohoo! it works, it a tough son-of-a-b**** and works perfectly alright as if nothing ever happened. its got so many tiny holes but surprisingly it works. Now im not sure whether it was rice that did the trick or its the way this headset is built but end of the day its all good news. Much to my joy i decide to write Motorola and let them know, find the reply after the break.

Thanks for reaching out to Motorola.

It is quite a surprise that the headset still worked despite the fact it got wet. You are very lucky that it is still working. This is an unusual story or information. But, we are glad to hear that it is still working after what happened to it.

We are glad that you have informed us of this.

Thank you for contacting Motorola e-mail support.
