How to Watch Any Video in HD on YouTube

It seems to work in full screen mode too. I don't think the sound gets worse, just a bit different. Give it a whirl.

&fmt=18

Most videos DO NOT have "View in Higher Quality" links below them like this video does. So by using this code, you'll be able to watch ANYTHING in higher quality! TRY IT! : )
HOW IT WORKS: Just enter "&fmt=18" behind the URL at the top, then press enter. WALA! Higher Quality!
THE URL SHOULD NOW LOOK LIKE THIS:
youtube.com/watch?v=27mb_AyzGyQ&fmt=18
the audio gets a bit worse after watching the video in higher quality though.

Speed Up Your Firefox Start-up Time

clipped from www.makeuseof.com
Firefox may be my browser of choice but there are times when it is REALLY slow, so slow in fact that I am sorely tempted to defect to Opera or even *gasp* Safari!
But you don’t have to wail and despair any more! During a little stroll through SourceForge, I found an interesting program called Firefox Preloader which was short on technical details but long on prospects. It claims to be able to “improve Firefox’s start-up time”.
From the little I was able to find out, Preloader pre-loads various parts of your Firefox browser into the memory (presumably the most important parts) so that when you want it to start, it is able to open much faster than normal. In fact when I clicked on the Fox logo to start the browser, it shot open like a politician being caught in a brothel with his pants down. The tabs fired open one by one as if they had drank five cups of coffee each. Firefox is now so fast it’s unnerving me.
