		<description><![CDATA[Now, we have two guys (sorry, I will fill in their names later, but they talked fast) who are demoing Google's new Chrome browser and its features and user interface.

"Friendly" tabs, knowing your history better graphically, auto-typing, simplicity, easier downloading with a new window that one guy is calling a real app like "Pinocchio, because I wanted to build a real boy."

Well, Pinocchio was wood for most of that story, but I like the effort!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2008/09/pinocchioolszewskilittledonkeyboy_small.gif"><img src="http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2008/09/pinocchioolszewskilittledonkeyboy_small.gif" alt="" title="pinocchioolszewskilittledonkeyboy_small" width="175" height="248" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3201" /></a></p>
<p>Now, we have two Googlers, who are demoing Google&#8217;s new Chrome browser and its features and user interface.</p>
<p>&#8220;Friendly&#8221; tabs, knowing your history better graphically, auto-typing, simplicity, easier downloading with a new window that one guy is calling a real app like &#8220;Pinocchio, because we wanted to build a real boy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, Pinocchio was wood for most of that story, but I like the effort!</p>
<p>Also, they show off the &#8220;Incognito&#8221; feature, where you can hide Web searches you don&#8217;t want others to see, which basically means porn and Barry Manilow fan sites.</p>
<p>Except the Google (GOOG) guys use a toe fungus search!</p>
<p>This is gross, although hiding toe fungus is a good idea related to Web navigation software.</p>
<p>Now, another smart-looking guy comes on, who looks like the other guys, and discusses the architecture, including rendering, security and so forth.</p>
<p>Also a speed test, from another Google guy, from Denmark, where Google&#8217;s Chrome&#8211;incredibly&#8211;beats Microsoft&#8217;s Internet Explorer! It is like one of those blind taste test commercials on television.</p>
<p>My mind starts to wander and I wonder if Microsoft Founder Bill Gates is watching this and getting plenty steamed up north at Microsoft (MSFT) HQ.</p>
<p>At this point, I suggest you please watch the <a href="http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&#038;newsId=20080902005540&#038;newsLang=en">Webcast</a> of this demo to listen to the details, available through both Windows Media Player and RealPlayer. </p>
<p>Because once the Googlers start talking &#8220;plug-in bugs,&#8221; I start staring at Google co-founder Larry Page&#8211;who is here sitting with with top Google exec Marissa Mayer off to the side&#8211;to see if both are paying rapt attention.</p>
<p>They are, natch. (I should have eaten a tasty pastry.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not sure what to think of this wacky video from Google that Tinu Abayomi-Paul wants to be able to download off the Web. It&#8217;s a video made by the search giant to show off the new Street View feature in its maps product, except using a guy in an orange suit who gears up into an even more bizarre costume and leaps about.</p>
<p>Hey, we live in &#8220;sunny&#8221; San Francisco, as Ryan (the name of Orange Google Guy) says in the video, so we don&#8217;t judge.</p>
<p>So, Abayomi-Paul can now immortalize Orange Google Guy using RealNetworks&#8217;s beta software of its <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20070606/burn-baby-burn-internet-video-boomtown-has-50-new-realplayer-beta-accounts-to-hand-out/">RealPlayer 11</a>, which allows users one-click downloading of non-DRM-protected video from the Web. It is being offered to selected AllThingsD.com visitors to try out before it is released later this month. </p>
<p>CEO Rob Glaser debuted the new version of RealNetworks&#8217;s flagship product at the <strong>D5</strong> conference last month, which you can read about <a href="http://d5.allthingsd.com/20070531/realplayer11/">here</a> and also see a video of the demo.</p>
<p>Along with downloading, you can also bookmark videos and organize them using the software. And once saved, you can then rip those videos onto any CD, DVD or, eventually, any other storage device like an iPod.</p>
<p>Abayomi-Paul is in the early stages of a Web video channel for small businesses and thinks the RealPlayer would give her something neat to demo.</p>
<p>&#8220;I want to make some Google how-to videos downloadable for my small-business audience at www.freetraffictip.com&#8211;with permission only!,&#8221; she wrote. &#8220;The collection would be free, but then lots of the time-crunched ones could watch offline.&#8221;</p>
<p>Adding that she is home sick in bed, she noted that, &#8220;the computer is my only love! I&#8217;m a geek, a currently bedridden geek. Please help me not to die of boredom!&#8221;</p>
<p>Glad to help.</p>
<p>Check it out:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The first video Mischael Cetoute said that he wanted to download was a bit too &#8220;Chongalicious&#8221; for our Web site (you can look that video up yourself on YouTube), although he noted, &#8220;It&#8217;s really popular down here in Miami.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gallantly, he sent us another one, embedded below, which is called &#8220;How To Crank Dat Soulja Boy,&#8221; a hip dance video that we can certainly handle in Silicon Valley.</p>
<p>And Cetoute can now download as he pleases, using RealNetworks&#8217;s beta software of its <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20070606/burn-baby-burn-internet-video-boomtown-has-50-new-realplayer-beta-accounts-to-hand-out/">RealPlayer 11</a>, which allows users one-click downloading of non-DRM-protected video from the Web.

<p>Along with downloading, you can also bookmark videos and organize them using the software. And once saved, you can then rip those videos onto any CD, DVD or, eventually, any other storage device like an iPod.</p>
<p>Said Cetoute in his email about why he wanted the player: &#8220;I am not one of those tech freaks that will download CNET videos cuz that&#8217;s dumb and a waste [of] time. I want videos from YouTube/Google video. And I promise to use the account well, and not get it just to be in on all the latest tech. (Loser) lol.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll admit it&#8211;I had never heard of the Swingle Singers until Srinivasan Rajagopal sent me a link from India, where he lives as a self-described &#8220;music nut&#8221; and &#8220;YouTube maven.&#8221; Indeed, he also provided me with 16 clips he would download from the Web were he to get his hands on new software to do so.</p>
<p>He is in luck, as RealNetworks is offering the beta software of its <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20070606/burn-baby-burn-internet-video-boomtown-has-50-new-realplayer-beta-accounts-to-hand-out/">RealPlayer 11</a>, which allows users one-click downloading of non-DRM-protected video from the Web, to AllThingsD.com visitors to try out before it is released later this month. </p>
<p>CEO Rob Glaser debuted the new version of RealNetworks&#8217; flagship product at the <strong>D5</strong> conference last week, which you can read about <a href="http://d5.allthingsd.com/20070531/realplayer11/">here</a> and also see a video of the demo.</p>
<p>Along with downloading, you can also bookmark videos and organize them using the software. And once saved, you can then rip those videos onto any CD, DVD or, eventually, any other storage device like an iPod.</p>
<p>Most of Rajagopal&#8217;s selections were musical, many of street buskers and musicians, which were uniformly delightful. I selected three to show here. The first is of the Swingle Singers doing their unusual version of the &#8220;Mission Impossible&#8221; theme song; the second is of another group using Nintendo as an inspiration; and the third is a face-off of the music from &#8220;Star Trek&#8221; and &#8220;The Simpsons.&#8221;</p>
<p>Writes Rajagopal: &#8220;My views are pointed and fierce (some call them prejudiced). If this is indeed a beta version, I am sure I can send my point across and it would be meaningful.&#8221;</p>
<p>He adds: &#8220;My PC has 26 instances of beta software.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, 27.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Howard Fishman&#8217;s selection of a Web video he would like to download: A live performance of the Beatles.</p>
<p>RealNetworks is offering the beta software of its <a href="http://kara.allthingsd.com/20070606/burn-baby-burn-internet-video-boomtown-has-50-new-realplayer-beta-accounts-to-hand-out/">RealPlayer 11</a>, which allows users one-click downloading of non-DRM-protected video from the Web, to AllThingsD.com visitors to try out before it is released later this month. </p>
<p>CEO Rob Glaser debuted the new version of RealNetworks&#8217;s flagship product at the <strong>D5</strong> conference last week, which you can read about <a href="http://d5.allthingsd.com/20070531/realplayer11/">here</a> and also see a video of the demo.</p>
<p>Along with downloading, you can also bookmark videos and organize them using the software. And once saved, you can then rip those videos onto any CD, DVD or, eventually, any other storage device like an iPod.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s 10 minutes long (the last two are priceless, especially for Ringo),&#8221; writes Fishman of the Web video he would like to download.</p>
<p>Indeed, the video comes from a concert the Fab Four did on Feb. 11, 1964, when they played at the Coliseum in Washington, D.C., which you can read about <a href="http://www.richieunterberger.com/washington.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>Although you can see only 10 minutes of the whole concert, for the record, the Beatles played  &#8220;All My Lovin’,&#8221; &#8220;Twist and Shout,&#8221; &#8220;She Loves You,&#8221; &#8220;I Wanna Hold Your Hand,&#8221; &#8220;Roll Over Beethoven&#8221; and &#8220;Long Tall Sally,&#8221; among others.</p>
<p>Check it out:</p>

<p><em>Correction: An earlier version of this post misidentified the locale and date of the Beatles concert shown in the attached video. As reader Fred Bals (see comment below) points out, the concert took place at the Coliseum in Washington, D.C., on Feb. 11, 1964 (not at the Seattle Coliseum, where the Beatles performed Aug. 21, 1964).</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the rush of <strong>D5</strong>, I neglected to make those interested an offer I am sure you will not refuse&#8211;RealNetworks CEO Rob Glaser has given me 50 beta accounts to hand out to AllThingsD.com visitors to test out the new RealPlayer 11, which now allows users one-click downloading of nonprotected video from the Web.</p>
<p><img src='http://kara.allthingsd.com/files/2007/06/158182522-th.jpg' alt='realplayer' /></p>
<p>Glaser debuted the new version of his flagship product at the conference last week, which you can read about <a href="http://d5.allthingsd.com/20070531/realplayer11/">here</a>. It only allows you to download and save non-DRM-protected material, but there is plenty of that out there. The download feature, which pops up automatically while hovering over available videos, also keeps ads embedded in content that has them. </p>
<p>You can also bookmark videos and organize them. And once saved, you can then rip those videos onto any CD, DVD or, eventually, any other storage device like an iPod.</p>

<p>I was pretty impressed with its ease of use and usefulness. </p>
<p>No one can get these accounts until later in June, as this is an early version (meaning it will likely have some glitches, which RealNetworks would welcome feedback about). And they only work on Windows machines, though a Mac version is promised soon. </p>
<p>So if you want to be a guinea pig, write me an engaging and informative email about why you want the RealPlayer11 and how you will use it. Keep it short and sweet, please, and send it to kara@allthingsd.com.</p>
<p>But to make it even more interesting, you need to send me a link to a great video you want to download and if I like it, you get the account. I will also post all the video I receive, if it can be embedded, in this column.</p>
<p>Some rules:</p>
<p>No copyrighted material that has been somehow &#8220;unprotected&#8221; and slapped onto YouTube&#8211;I know, I know, information needs to be free, but some of it costs people money to make and I am not stealing it.</p>
<p>Keep it clean&#8211;I don&#8217;t judge, but I won&#8217;t post porn material here and so sending me such links, while amusing, is pointless.</p>
<p>A plus: I love funny. I love music. I love a good mash-up. </p>
<p>A minus: I am not a fan of kittens falling into pools, kids and their tricycle mishaps and stoners smashing into walls while riding skateboards. </p>
<p>Don&#8217;t butter me up and send me clips from the D conference&#8211;I was there. </p>
<p>Best bet: Surprise me and the account will be yours! </p>
<p>And see the video of Glaser&#8217;s demo last week below (and you can also read his recent post in our Voices section <a href="http://voices.allthingsd.com/20070604/rob-glaser/">here</a>):</p>
