Do you know there is an easy hack to watch high definition (HD) video on Youtube? Simply add &fmt=22 at the end of the url in the address bar while you are watching a video on youtube.

&fmt=22

If youtube has not already processed the HD version of the video, it might take approx 15 mins to the video HD playback. HD or high quality video are those that have 720 progressive scans (720p). They are ideal to playback on resolution monitors such as 1280×720. Youtube also converts the HD video to H.246 for playback on TiVo and Iphones.

However to play the HD Video you need to have faster processor and enough RAM on your system.

Google adds another feather to its cap with the introduction of SMS service called SMS search. To search and get results via SMS, send the keywords to the number 9-77-33-00000. To get to know the latest cricket score send relevant keyword such as “cricket” or “Cri” to 9-77-33-00000 and wait for the reply SMS with the result of the keywords. And another example… the user can send an SMS “restaurants indira nagar Bangalore” and have the list of restaurants in that area sent to him/her via the SMS service.

This service will be available across 34 cities in the country which will include Mumbai, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Chennai, Delhi and others. The service is currently available on both GSM and CDMA networks. Normal SMS rates apply according to the service package provided by the service provider.
