Tech Tip Of The Day- youtube edition

YouTube is awesome, because that’s where we get Britney Spears best-of compilations and Tech N9ne lyrics for our flow parties, but it’s also got quite some surprising and secret easter eggs that not many people know about.

The end.

Just kidding! Here’s  list of what we think are the best Easter Eggs on YouTube.

*Protuber is a free YouTube app on the iPhone which allows you to multitask while playing a video.

*If you pause a video on YouTube and type the numbers ‘1980’ you will get missiles firing at your video, and the ability to fight back.

* Pause a video on YouTube, then hold down the left arrow key for 2-3 seconds. Whilst holding down that key, press the up arrow. BAM! YOU’RE PLAYING SNAKE!

*Right click on any YouTube video and you can scroll down to the ‘Stats For Nerds’ option. Click on it and you get a rundown of statistics of the video you’re watching, including dimensions, frames and volume percentage.

*Type the word ‘repeat’ after youtube in the URL – for example: https://www.youtuberepeat.com/watch?v=pt8VYOfr8To. This will let you play the video on repeat!

Finally, don’t forget to check out www.bestofyoutube.com to get your weekly dose of YouTube awesomness.

iPhone Tip Of The Day

To celebrate being a month late for National Grammar Day, we’ve decided to give you guys some iPhone keyboard grammar tips! Are we all ready for some exciting keyboard shortcuts? Huh? Huh?  I think we heard a yes? Maybe?

Alrighty, lets start off with some dashes, cos they’re awesome, obviously. Hold down the Dash button to get a selection of dashes, including the lovely en dash and the slightly less lovely in our opinion em dash.

Hold down the slash to get a reverse slash, that’s an easy one.

Hold down the dollar sign to get the Pound, Cent, Euro, Yen or South Korean Won symbols

Hold down the ‘&’ symbol (Ampersand for those playing at home) and you’l get a § – a typographical character used mainly to refer to a particular section of a document, such as a legal code. It is also called “double S”, “sectional symbol”, and our favorite, “hurricane”. Obviously.

Hold down the period to get three dots, or Ellipsis. Hold down the apostrophe button to get both types of apostrophes and quotation marks.

Hold down the question mark to get an upside down question mark.

Hold down the exclamation mark to get an upside down exclamation mark¡ (See what we did there….)

Happy one month past National Grammar Day!

iPhone Tip Of The Day

You guys know when you’re super excited/angry/drunk/revengy and you decide to send a message to someone?  And then you get a moment of clarity and realize that telling your boss that you hate the way he wears his stupid pretentious ties is not the best career move? Or telling your friend that she’s a really mean jerk might not be the best thing to do?

Precisely perfect for these moments is the undo typing function, because pressing delete over and over might take too long and the drunky revengy you might come back!

So, shake your phone, man, just shake your phone! An “Undo Typing” box will come up –  hit it like it’s a 1990’s dancefloor!

If you do change your mind after you’ve hit Undo, shake your phone again for a handy “Redo Typing” box.

So now you can save telling people how you really think when you’re angry/drunk/revengy for REAL life! Hooray!
