WebP for Windows Photo Viewer

WebP (pronounced "weppy") is an image format for lossy compressed image files. It is developed by Google, based on technology acquired with the purchase of On2 Technologies. As a derivative of the video format VP8, it is a sister project to the multimedia container format WebM. WebP related software is released under a BSD license.  -Wikipedia
Sadly Windows isn't able to open Google's amazing WebP image format without Chrome. :(

    Haha, no problem. I also found a "YouTube Hack" today, if you're interested. I was going to post about it soon, but it won't be for a few weeks.

    You can download the original video directly from YouTube - Copyright breach there.

    Oh now, I knew about those services.
    With the power of HTML5, you can download the exact video displayed on the page - No need for converters (no lack of quality). I guess it's not a "real" hack, but still a nifty feature.

    P.S. for a Chrome blog you've missed the new logo, the new dev versions... Jheesh ;-)
    Haven't even mentioned the side tabs feature :P

    Eh, I don't blame you, I've take a few weeks off from my blog to finish some College work.

    TwitPic always has issues.. Blah blah blah

    Nope, I used a theme called "SoulVision" - Sometimes I think of changing, but there's far too must custom coding to know what to say :(
