Introduction

I have to admit that out of every website in existence,rnYouTube is probably my favorite. Not only do I have many of my own videosrnshared on it, I like watching other people’s videos as well. YouTube containsrnan endless variety of content and I have gotten into the habit of watchingrnrandom channels each night while I’m exercising.

As great as YouTube is on its own, however, there are plentyrnof apps out there that make it even better. Most of the YouTube-oriented appsrnthat are available today are simple downloaders, but there are some other typesrnof apps that provide more unique functionality. This article discusses fivernsuch apps.

Note: This gallery is also available as an article.

Many of the hotels that I have stayed in over the last fewrnyears block Websites such as YouTube, Netflix, and Hulu. Some people claim thatrnthis is done in an effort to encourage hotel guests to order pay per view.rnOthers have suggested that hotels block such sites as a way of conserving internetrnbandwidth. Whatever the reason, Hotspot Shield will likely be able to get yournaccess to YouTube and other blocked sites.

Hotspot Shield acts as an Internet proxy. The clientrncomputer establishes an encrypted tunnel to a remote Hotspot Shield server,rnwhich then accesses web content on the client’s behalf.

Going in, I honestly wasn’t sure how well a 3D converter wasrngoing to work on a video that wasn’t originally filmed in 3D. However, thernresults were surprisingly good, considering that the source material wasn’trnnative 3D.
