Youtube bug or hidden feature?

Certain Youtube videos which are considered "inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community" are supposed to be hidden from users who are not logged in or who are not above 18 years old. But alas, google seems to have left a bug(or is it a hidden feature--not decipherbale by the underaged?) which allows you to watch any video you want without having to sign in or sign up.

Just give the direct path to the video like "http://www.youtube.com/v/video_id" and the video just opens up in the browser. This seems to have been left open to allow external websites to embed youtube videos. However, one would expect YT with the "brilliance" of google to have blocked embed access to the "marked" videos.

Apart from the flaw in youtube that has been hastily fixed by google, there seems to be minor bugs or rather design decisions that are confusing. Will they just keep patching things or consider a redesign of the model is interesting to watch for.

Skipping through alert boxes-the hard way

have you faced the problem of having to skip through a zillion alert boxes or information boxes? These are message boxes that provide information. They are closed when you press the "Ok" button. The option to close all or ok all is not available. The option such as yes to all or no to all is available only for copy-paste operations.

The fact that you have to go through a large number of alert boxes is a clear indication of the poor quality of code or the complexity of the application. Anyway, the next time you have to skip through these zillion alert boxes just follow the method shown in the video shown below.



This is the hard way of doing this. A better method would be to close the application from the task manager and modifying the code.

Beware:if the return key is kept pressed even after the alert boxes are skipped it can cause unwanted operations to occur in some cases.
