Do you feel helpless when you want to send a YouTube video link to someone and want that video to start from a specific time?

There is a solution available now which is called deep link. Append the YouTube video url with something like #t=1m18s. Here it means that the video will start from the time 1min 18sec. You can change the digits before m and s.

So the URL will look like
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY#t=1m18s
instead of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY

It will also help to save bandwidth because YouTube will start video download from the given time. Unfortunately deep link doesn’t work in case of video embedding.

If you are not moderating comments on your blog then you must start doing it because you are responsible for the words of others.

Blog owners should be aware of the cyber law. It is understood that those who write in a blog are liable for the content they have written but do you know that the blog owners are also responsible for the comments written on their blog.

You can be liable if the comments on your posts include the followings:

• Vulgar words
• Offensive comments
• If it reveals someone else’s trade secrets
• Defame other’s good reputation
• Encourage harassment

However, it totally depends upon laws of your country. There are situations also where bloggers get protection. So it is always good to be aware of the Law that is prevalent in your country.

Let’s share

If you know about cases where bloggers can be liable, list them here.

Gmail can stop sending mails which you shouldn’t send. Especially when you are not in right state of mind or when you are drunk.

Gmail released a new labs feature Mail Goggles which will prevent you to send emails if you are not able to solve simple mathematic problems.

Once you enable the Mail Goggles, it will ask you a few simple mathematic questions and verify you state of mind before sending the mail. Mail Goggles will only be activate on late nights every weekend by default but you can change the settings.

Do you think Windows Vista is slower than Windows XP?

Jyoti says that it has many more features than Windows XP. Features are listed at http://www.nativejyoti.com/vista-slower-than-windows-xp-or-it-just-the-future-os/.

Gmail supports secure connection (https protocol) but it wasn’t default. Gmail uses HTTPS while login but once you are in the mail it uses HTTP instead of HTTPS untill you append HTTPS in the URL https://mail.google.com instead of http://mail.google.com).

Google has added a new feature so that you can turn secure connect to default. To turn HTTPS to default, go to setting of your gmail and in the bottom of General tab you can find the option.

Note: https can make your mail slower. Your computer has to do extra work to decrypt all that data, and encrypted data doesn’t travel across the internet as efficiently as unencrypted data.
