My whole thing with these Flash based recorders, is can you edit the footage? I've gotten (and taken back) 2 cameras that shot great looking footage, but you couldn't edit it worth beans. Maybe you want to just push it up to YouTube, but I like to do fades. and cuts. and maybe edit the audio. shock!

Thanks for the tips, Jeff!

Making a Windows computer secure is, indeed, a process that can take days. When I was on Windows I remember having at least two spyware applications, an antivirus program or two, and a software firewall.

That was using Windows XP though.

Apparently Windows Vista is supposed to be a lot more secure, but the only experience I have with security on Vista is annoying dialog boxes for the silliest things.

I ♥ my Mac.

Never happened to any of my accounts but has happened plenty of times to friends, just today got 2 spam msgs from facebook, left myspace because of that now facebook nooooo.

Anyways good tips. But I recommend Avair or Avast for free antivirus, better detection rates that falling AVG over the past couple of years. But your right on Norton is just a waste in resources and money. Also check out Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, best spywayre/malware remover ever.

Change password, that's like the first thing you should do, but then again if you have a key logger it doesn't matter. :/

Opera is safer. But FF is still best

Or of course get a mac, or linux. Still a chance to get stuff but its cut down to about 5 instead of half million virus damn you unix kernal and lower but rising market share. Your day will come, haha.

Great Tip! But in iMovie '08, you need to do share –>Export Using Quicktime. Trying this now, can't wait to see the results!

John,

Dean Jansen, from Miro, has a good post here that mentions Windows alternatives. I've also added this list to the bottom of my post.

Hi,
Video sharing is all the rage since a while now, and it does not seem to end. Everybody wants to share their videos, their passions and the things they like. There are so many sites around to publish videos on the web that it is sometimes hard to make a choice. We know some of the big players on the market like YouTube, Revver or Dailymotion, but there are so many others competing to be the number one, or targeting a specific audience, be it geographically (China, Japan, Turkey…), by language (German, Arabic, French…) or for the kind of content they focus on (cooking, planes, extreme sports…).
I have compiled a growing list of already 900 video sharing sites, video search engines, video download sites, and video publication and statistics online services that you can check at http://www.ilikesharingvideos.com
For each of them, you will get useful information such as their history, the country from which most of their visitors come, their niche, their rank, their latest news…
This site offers some other interesting features, like a forum about online videos, how to make money with your videos, how to create your own YouTube site, video contests, etc.
So if you are interested in video sharing or online video marketing, give an eye to this site, it worths it.
Cheers

Comment on Late 2008 MacBook Pro “First Touch” Review by Afif Tabish

Mmm so delicious this new MacBook Pro is. I went to my local Apple Store the next morning to take a look at it and its fine. Hopefully when I am done my first college course in 2010 I will have my hands on one or the one that will be released by that time. Then its off to the states to continue my education life…
