Well, folks, ever since our internet giants have been screwing themselves many times. Looks like I got some news, even though I'm late for a very long time. But here's what I can do for you to help you out on your daily lives.

#1, for all of the Yahoomail users out there who still just as frustrated as I am without the tabs and even the "Recent" feature also don't cut it. Well, here's my solution, use Internet Explorer and turn on Compatibility Mode, add the Yahoo URL and then wolla, the old Yahoomail we know and love is still intact. But don't worry, folks, for safety and to those who don't want to touch IE, you can also download a plugin called, "IE Tab", I know that in Firefox, but Chrome I'm not sure. But when you do that, key in the Yahoomail URL, after login, nothing much, but after pressing the IE Tab button, it gives the same result as IE's Compatibility Mode. ;)

#2, Youtube, ever since many of us wasn't expecting that the video downloads have changed when we used to have 480p & 1080p & some even 4K. Well, they're gone, Youtube did this is more than just trolling us, it also prevents us from downloading our videos as they want to get rid of that infamous buffer circle by doing their best to download videos in fragments or chunks, no longer the single video. Why? We were not told and automatically we have been secretly testing HTML5 player without our knowledge, that's why they can only provide the resolutions of 360p and 720p.

Pretty cool, right? Well, pros & cons, but overall, I call that lame, reason is, why can't the video stream can do 720p when 480p is not even available. Bleh, I choose Flash over HTML5, Flash will always be the best. That's why you don't need to worry further now, because you should use THIS, www.freemake.com/free_video_do… . It's more than just another Youtube downloader, but this one is extremely super special where no other browser plugins can do today, it brings back 480p and 1080p too. Go ahead and give that software a try, best of all, it's FREE!
I heard Chrome is unaffected and so is the modern IE11, that means Youtube can still offer the many resolutions to choose, Firefox became a victim and Mozilla is still yet to address this. Not only that, older version of IE (which I still have IE8), can still offer 480p and 1080p.

That's all folks.

By the way, speaking of Youtube, has anybody noticed that comments are coming back into our Youtube inbox? I'm not so sure, I'm not a very high profile person to create awesome videos, so I don't comment much yet alone receiving them, so I need your help to test if that is true. I received PMs, but comments? I notice that only today, so I wonder if it's making a proper comeback after the epic failure of Google+. Ciao, all the best, everybody! Go surf happily with the old Yahoomail & re-download your favorite videos in the wide variety of resolutions of your choice again! :D

i have yet to run in to this issue, however it has been extremely annoying with youtube+'s revisions to its streaming management for 1080p and higher resolutions. Ive been dearly missing the ability to download 1080p material. i should also mention form my own poking around the code sets that part of the reason YouTube+ downloaders don't offer 1080p any more is because YouTube+ has decided to split the streams (Audio and video) in to two streams for play back at higher than 720p resolutions.

i have found a way back to downloading 1080p material but i have to recombine the audio and video tracks before they become worth anything again.
