  • Vsauce. Michael here with a new episode of "Up All Knight."

  • Vsauce.

  • Michael here today with a new episode of "Up All Knight," a show where I cover cool, geeky

  • trick things. For instance, we all know Yahoo.com,

  • but do you know what happens when you click on the dot in the exclamation point

  • after "Yahoo!" ?

  • "YAHOOOOO!"

  • Next, let's talk video.

  • VLC is a free media player that lets you do some cool

  • things. Open up VLC, go to Preferences,

  • Video, select all, click on Video,

  • Output modules and choose color ASCII art

  • video output. Now, my episode of Bill Nye is made out of

  • text. I can also make my wallpaper my desktop wallpaper

  • animated and move. Go to preferences, video,

  • all, and under an output module you'll find "Use as desktop background." Ta-da!

  • Now I can work right on top of Bill. For my final trick,

  • let's download some YouTube videos. Just copy your YouTube URL

  • and open it as "network." Then go to window, media information,

  • and boom! That is its secret location.

  • Depending on your browser it will either take you to a full-screen version that

  • you could download

  • or immediately start downloading the video at full quality.

  • Google can be a lot like old-school Napster. Use code number one in this video's

  • description to search for downloadable

  • audio files. Just put the keyword you want between the double quotes

  • and sweet, look what I found. Not big enough?

  • Well, try to add "admir7656's" recommendation of

  • epic Google. It just keeps growing and growing and growing

  • until you search. You can also try Weenie Google.

  • It shrinks and shrinks so fast. Mac users,

  • did you know that the application icon for Text Edit has a message

  • on it that you can read if you zoom in enough? And Windows users,

  • paste code number two in the notepad, save it as a ".bat" file,

  • open it and play tic-tac-toe. If you have not yet seen

  • every episode of "Up All Knight," make today the day you do it.

  • You can click any of these to watch previous episodes,to learn stuff like how to

  • reveal passwords

  • and a couple, well, way more than a couple, pranks.

  • Subscribe to Vsauce for more and get excited for Saturday,

  • when we're gonna have brand new Leanback...s. and as always

  • And as always,

  • thanks for watching.

Vsauce. Michael here with a new episode of "Up All Knight."
