YouTube to MP3 Converter – Get any song you want on your PC, Mac or mobile device with the cool YouTube to MP3 Converter. This site has found a way to make it easy for you to get whatever song you like, using YouTube videos. All you have to do is go to YouTube, copy the URL of your favorite video, and paste it on the MP3 Converter site. Wait for some 20 seconds and the MP3 file will be ready for download. It’s as simple as that.

I gave it a try with a lesser known yet just as amazing Jonny Cash song Tennessee Stud. It worked wonderfully.

Startup Quotes – Take it From Them

Startup Quotes – Aphoristic quotes go a long way. Startup Quotes is an ingenious, inspiring and fun site where each post is a short tip, insight or concept, quoted from founders and co-founders of today’s major companies (mostly of the tech and communication fields). Learn what Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos’ tip for startups is (“Build yourself a great story”), and take Dropbox Co-founder Drew Houston’s advice on learning (“Learn early, learn often”). Each post is a beautifully presented startup tip non-entrepreneurs will benefit from just as much. For the finish, in light of the Apple iPhone 4 hitch that’s been buzzing around in recent weeks, see Steve Jobs’ tip for startups below. If you feel like sharing your tip, submit it here.

Annat Katz — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 16:10:23 +0000

TechCrunchTV – TechCrunch needs no introduction. If you’re not familiar with it, that’s a big no-no because they’re only one of the most prominent tech news providers out there. What’s new about TechCrunch however, is their latest addition, the TechCrunchTV site. Watch live news videos or check their huge data base of previous news coverage, interviews with important figures in the tech, Internet and communications industry, and other Silicone Valley movers and shakers.

Deal Alert: FREE Kingston 1GB USB Flash Drive (Free Shipping)

Roy Pessis — Sat, 20 Oct 2007 14:14:22 +0000

Here is a great deal that I wanted to share with you dedicated readers. (If you are not yet one of our dedicated readers make sure to subscribe to our RSS feed)

One of my favorite newsletter is the one from Buy.com. You can truly find some amazing deals on it.

Only recently I bought myself a Kingston 2GB DataTraveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive for only $16.95 (with Google checkout it comes down to $6.95). Today, my girlfriend asked me to buy her one as well. So I made my way back to Buy.com. While browsing around the site I came across an even better deal.

Kingston 1GB Data Traveler USB 2.0 Flash Drive for only $10.00 (again, with Google checkout it comes down to $00.00!). At this point you are probably asking yourself “where’s the catch?”. Well, there is no catch, shipping is free (available only in the US), Gmail account you probably already have (and if not, it takes only 2 min to sign up). The only thing that I had to pay was a tax fee of $0.72. That’s it.

Decide quick because on the product page it says that there are very few left in stock. You can never have to much memory.

Microsoft Surface Computer

Microsoft has just unveiled a new technology called Microsoft Surface. A Surface computer is able to recognize physical objects from a paintbrush to a cell phone and allows hands-on, direct control of content such as photos, music and maps. Surface turns an ordinary tabletop into a dynamic surface that provides interaction with all forms of digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects.

But don’t let me spoil all the fun, there is a great Popular Mechanics video embedded below. Have a look, i think you’ll like it. As well as a couple of great promotional videos on Microsoft Surface website.
