That’s right, no more hunting for the videos through clever queries on Google Video – which lacks useful navigation and discovery features such as subscriptions or user profiles.
Google has finally grouped all past and future talks under a single YouTube profile. As of this writing, that’s no less than 558 quality talks available to you and your browser.
One thing was lost in the transition, unfortunately. That is the ability to actually download these hour long talks to your computer and watch them on the device of your choice. However, you can now leverage the plethora of YouTube-related applications.

I’ve been using Mac OS X and WinXP Pro on my Macbook Pro for a while. One thing I noticed is that the system’s clock shifts a few hours back and forth across OS reboots, a problem for which I had no explanation until now.
[...] Windows XP reads and writes the hardware clock in terms of the local time zone. If UTC is 12:00 and I’m in GMT+2 Windows will write the time to the hardware clock as 14:00. Mac OS X on the other hand assumes that the hardware clock is set to UTC, and therefore displays the time as 16:00 after I reboot from Windows into OS X.
While I wait for a fix from Apple – I doubt Microsoft cares about this – in a future Boot Camp update, at least I know the cause.
