YouTube Frames is a new way of viewing the storyboard of the YouTube videos that give users a much a better idea of what’s inside any YouTube video . For instance, here’s the YouTube generated storyboard for  iPhone5- Rumours video.

Demo: iPhone5- next iPhone rumour update video
With the help of YouTube frames you can quickly review what's inside the video to decide whether to watch it or to skip it and save time by gathering the information from the frames. Internally, YouTube splits the video into multiple segments and each of these segments is represented with a single image frame. All these frames are then stitched together to form one big image that can help you visualize the entire video at a glance. When you watch a video on YouTube, your browser downloads the corresponding storyboard images in the background and is stored in browser cache and difficult to retrieve but this bookmarklet will easily solve you purpose.

Just add [Drag it to you bookmark tool-bar] the following YouTube Frames bookmarklet to your browser.

Open any video on the YouTube, then click the bookmarklet and it would display all the still image frames of that video on one page.
Note: it won’t work for embedded videos

Android being one of best mobile device platform and having millions of applications that you can download for free from your android phone. But sometimes we want to download the android market application on our pc[apk files] due poor/no internet connectivity on our mobile device but there is no official method to download APK files. Apk files may also be required as backup of our apps on our pc though we can also backup our app using very popular apps like "Astro file manager". The solution to this problem is a google chrome extension called as  "APK downloader". APK Downloader is a Google Chrome extension that allows you to download Android APK files from Android Market to your PC.

Click HERE to install APK Downloader extension to your Google Chrome.
In three simple steps you can easily download the APK files on pc and thn transfer it to your sd card to enjoy apps on your android device

1. Disable SSL error warnings
  • Right click on Chrome shortcut, select “Properties”
  •  Switch to “Shortcut” tab. In “Target” field, insert [space]--ignore-certificate-errors at the end. Once you have that finished, click “OK” .
  • It will look something like this:
    C:\…\chrome.exe --ignore-certificate-errors
  • Close Chrome and open it again with that shortcut
  • Go to Tools > Extensions and Open APK Downloader Options page. If your screen looks like the right picture ( the warning box is gone ), then you disabled SSL error warnings successfully



NOTE: If you don’t do this step, the extension WILL NEVER WORK. 

2. Enter email and device ID on Options page
  • Open dial pad, call *#*#8255#*#* ( 8255 = TALK ). It will open “GTalk Service Monitor”, find lines that begin with JID and Device ID. Your email is JID, and your device id is a string that after android- prefix
  • For example: It shows android-1234567890abcdef , then your device ID is 1234567890abcdef
  • Enter your email’s password, then press Login.
  • Then choose your country and SIM operator and same settings. You are done with setup, now start using.

    Tip: 
  •  Do not type in random email or device ID, it won’t work 
  • To know your device id and email you can also install an app called DeviceID[click to install]
3. Start using
After finished two steps above, you can start using APK Downloader. Open Android Market/Google play , view any FREE apps , then press the APK Downloader icon on address bar ( see screenshot )

Facebook, the social giant makes a new move by introducing the subscribe button for your profile to let the non-friend members of the Facebook to see your Facebook shares using the Subscribe feature.This Feature works similar to the Twitter's and Google+'s follow button .The difference is that in the Google+ you have a Different Circle for the people to whom you are 'following' .After the Launch of Facebook's smart list in which you can make a list of different set of people similar to Google+'s Circle but The circle named as 'Following' was missing in the Facebook Smart list. So Facebook introduced this as separate feature and named it as Subscribe .Now lets have some closer look at the Facebook's Subscribe button and How to get Subscribers and subscribe others.

"You need not to Subscribe your friends as they had already been subscribed, but you can refine your feed subscription of individual friend(which is discussed later on in this post.)"

What Does the Subscribe means?

When you allow people to subscribe, anyone who’s interested can get public updates you share from your profile, right in their News Feeds. This lets you share with a broader audience, while reserving personal updates for people you know well.You can have an unlimited number of subscribers, and easily update them from your mobile phone.

How To Get Subscribers?
  • Go to your profile and click Subscriptions on the left side of the page, under your profile picture.
  • Click "Allow Subscribers" at the top of this tab.
  • After you click "Allow Subscribers" your settings appear. From here, you can edit who can comment on your public posts and when you’re notified about new subscribers.

You can also go to https://www.facebook.com/about/subscriptions to start allowing people to subscribe to your public updates.

How to Subscribe Others?

To Subscribe a person on Facebook who has allowed to Subscribe his/her public post/Updates to non-friend on Facebook . Go to the person's profile ,now click on the subscribe button. Yes! its done!. Very simple


How to Edit feed Subscription ?

You can fine tune your news feed by clicking on the subscribe button on the profile of the Friend or a Public figure/person. The Option available in the subscribe button of the friends is are much more and little different from the option available for non-friend Facebook member.

In case of Friend you can fine tune your news feed as :
All updates:Every thing a friend posts.
Most updates: What you normally get.
Only Important:Just highlights,like a new job or move.
You can also adjust what type of updates do you want to subscribe like life events,status updates,photos and videos,games,comments and likes etc..
In case of non friend you have pretty similar kind of options but the main difference is that you will only able to get the public updates by that person.

You can easily unsubscribe the updates from any person by just clicking the Unsubscribe from the menu of Facebook Subscribe button.


Why and who should use Subscribe button?

If you are an individual who wants to share your updates with a larger audience, you may want to use a profile with subscribers. Public Figures, like Mark Zuckerberg, can use a profile with subscribe, a Page, or both. A profile with subscribers is ideal if you want to personally connect with people who are interested in you. It's fun to receive updates from friends and others that you want to subscribe to, and it’s easy to publish to your subscribers on the go. Anyone who subscribes to your profile can receive your public posts in their News Feed. If you are a business or organization, like Facebook, you can only use a Page.

Here are some specific features of each product:

I would love to know your opinion on new Facebook subscribe Button. Are you planning to use your profile to outreach to millions of Facebook users by setting your privacy as public and enabling Facebook subscribe feature? Do comment.
