This selection does not have anything

Teacher's Pet movie theme song
No description available 115 hr

The above information is all I got on this page. This was one of their choices from the main page.

TheThemeSong DOT com may be a bogus site. I will check some of the other choices out to see if I can get anything.

'Cleaned Up' for some is 'Thow Out' for others

This cleaning has removed features like for me being able to blog directly to LiveJournal. I use to be able to select which playlist to add a video by the keyboard letter and the first letter of my playlist, but no longer. I have tried to find out why or who to contact about LiveJournal not being supported but YouTube may have become ThemTube.

in reference to:

"Cleaned up actions bar: Actions like sharing, rating, saving or flagging a video are now all grouped in one place, with a cleaner, simpler "button bar." We thought a lot about practicality here, choosing to expose only the most commonly used actions and language"

Ratings and Help Section

In the help section it still speaks of a 5 Star system and I was trying to help a government site that is probably very confused because it also has the 5 Star system (which apparently a Terms of Service Agreement with Google has specified) may be one of the reasons it has not been deleted.

in reference to:

"Simplified binary ratings: As we noted in an earlier blog post, the rating system on YouTube doesn't really work that well (e.g. only the 1 and 5"

Spoofing and Emails - From or Form

The monthly report from my Norton program suggested this link regarding email security, but has confused me. They have called this "Form spoofing" and I quote:

Form-spoofing is annoying, but it’s not dangerous. It’s the sender entering your name and address into the From field in their mail program instead of their own. Outlook, for one, makes this a snap. During the setup process, when asked to enter one’s own email address, spammers choose this option.

Since the name of the game for spammers is hiding their tracks and making sure you receive their mail, from-spoofing is natural. By putting your address in the From field, they obscure the true sender and nearly guarantee that your spam filter won’t block their email.

[end quoting]

I searched for both "Form spoofing" and "From spoofing" and I think this problem with email is best described as 'FROM-SPOOFING'.

This article on Email spoofing makes no mention of "Form spoofing", but does mention "from" and "Reply-to" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_spoofing).

in reference to:

"Form-spoofing is annoying, but it’s not dangerous. It’s the sender entering your name and address into the From field in their mail program instead of their own."

Link for "adjust the display" is bad

I just installed the new version of Google Toolbar and came to this page about Quick Search Box and am a bit confused. The info I remember last from the Known issues was that is was discontinued with no expectation of reviving it. The odd thing is this help page was updated July 15, 2009. So from this one would think the feature were available. And apparently it is available, but the link on this page to "adjust the display" is not any good.

in reference to:

"You can adjust the display of the button."

My Blog was becoming Spider Food

From reading this paragraph I think I now understand another reason for comments that were being left at one of my other blogs that were pure advertisements.

And so I also can see this is why many blogs require some type of sign-in to prove that I am not a machine.

in reference to:

"Spider food websites are intended for consumption by search engine software which spiders the web to index pages. Their purpose is to increase the perceived importance of another website by their links to it, so promoting that site in search engine rankings."

The Secret History of The World - Translated Subtitles

This video uses captions (subtitles) that translate also! But you have to select which language you want from the ARROW SYMBOL (triangle shape) next to the CC button at the lower, right of the video player.

YouTube recently (Dec 19,2009) came out with a few new features for making captions easier to implement. The one I will hopefully be trying out soon is the "Auto-Timing" in which all I need to do is submit a text file of what is being said in my video and YouTube will synchronize the placement of the captions with the audio automatically.

My notes on this video as as obtained from YouTube's web site:

from the book:
THE SECRET HISTORY OF THE WORLD,
Jonathan Black
-
...Alexander the great or Napoleon were vehicles for a great spirit.. No one could oppose them and they succeeded in everything they did - until the spirit left them. Then quite suddenly everything began to go wrong.
-
Socrates sometimes spoke of his deamon, meaning a good spirit who guided him through life.
-
Goethe said of him (Napoleon): 'The daemon ought to lead us every day and tell us what we ought to do on every occasion."
