Download iTunes movie trailers to your PC without Quicktime or iTunes

Update: The site link no longer works. Agent switcher extension for Firefox with useragent for iTunes will work. Refresh the movie trailer page and there should be a download link. If clicking the link does no download, copy the link to a new page to load.


I hate Quicktime and iTunes. Fortunately its possible to download iTune movie trailers without these bloated programs.

The guide using wget still works. Alternatively an easier method as mentioned in users' comments, use Firefox with agent switcher extension and set to "iTunes 6.5".

Youtube goes native for S60

Youtube has released a new Youtube app which is now a native S60 app and is 90% faster than its previous Java version. Use your phone and download from http://m.youtube.com. You may also download the SIS file from here.

I have tried it out and it is really much faster at streaming Youtube video on a S60 device with this new app than before. The menus are very responsive and not sluggish like the previous Java version. However I still prefer emTube which unfortunately has been broken due to Youtube site changes and the developer has been MIA.

Nokia Morph concept device

Featured in The Museum of Modern Art “Design and The Elastic Mind” exhibition, the Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users. This device concept showcases some revolutionary leaps being explored by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom) – nanoscale technologies that will potentially create a world of radically different devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities.

Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices:

* Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
* Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
* Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
* Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
* Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices

In addition to the advances above, the integrated electronics shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented ways.

I think if they manage to make only one of the nanotech elements possible within their estimated 7 years timeframe, it would still be quite amazing.
