Useful Mac trick

, , ,

I know a few of you who read my blog use a mac, so I thought I'd share this with you. I know you can find a whole ton of these everywhere else on the internet, and my blog isn't really about tech stuff, but oh well. If you're on a site with videos or audio (youtube, blip.fm, etc.) and want to download whatever you're watching or hearing, just push these keys at the same time. Command, Option, A. a little window will open up with a whole list of all the files that are on the page you are looking at, and 99% of the time, the file you want is the biggest file in the list, so you can just double click it and it should automatically download. A note though, if you are downloading a file and it is in .flv format (like the videos from youtube) you'll need a media player than can handle these. I recommend VLC. As for other mac tricks, look here.
