At last, Microsoft start hitting the Internet again with the beta 2 release of the next-gen browser - Internet Explorer 8.

You can download, here.

Some of the notable features that's included are as follows:

a) Accelerators

They are known as Activities in beta 1. The technology allows users to find the defenition of a word, mapping an address or posting a blog-entry, that are available on vieweing page, instead of a new page.

b) Web-Slices

Brings the user’s favorite data (sports scores, weather reports, stock quotes, etc.) directly into the Favorites Bar. Changes and updates are retrieved and users are visually notified of the updated information status.

c) Visual Search Suggestion

In the Instant Search box, as users type a search term, they will receive real-time search suggestions from their chosen search provider, as well as results from the users’s own Favorites and browsing history.

d) Suggested Sites

These are recommendations about other, related sites that might be of interest. This feature must be enabled by the user; it’s not on by default.

If Beta 1 was meant for Designers, Beta 2 was meant for Users.

Saving Flash videos from web-page

I know, lot of people Googles for a tool to save the flash video from web-page. Some tools may be trial version, or some may be annoying, by installing ActiveX plugin in ur IE.

A complete solution is available for this. Just download and install Real Player 11 GOLD. Afterwards, whenever you mouse-over a flash video, a small tag pop-ups above the flash-file prompting you to save/download. If u dont, see a prompt, just right-click the flash video, where you see a download option.

This works for, IE7, too. But, not for firefox 3.0(i dont know about the lower version, since IE is my default browser).

YOUTUBE Video download link

Load this URL and enter the youtube video URL. That's all.

Note: Sometimes you may get invalid URL. In such a situation, check whether you have your country domain attached along with your youtube URL. That means, for India, you'll be having a URL like http://in.youtube***********. To download the video, just remove the country-domain from ur youtube URL & the URL looks like, http://youtube*****

Thats all, Happy Downloading...!!!
