HOW TO: Animated Wallpaper! -- Up All Knight #6

Vsauce. Michael here with a new episode of "Up All Knight."

Vsauce. Michael here today with a new episode of "Up All Knight," a show where I cover cool, geeky trick things. For instance, we all know Yahoo.com, but do you know what happens when you click on the dot in the exclamation point after "Yahoo!"? "YAHOOOOO!"

Next, let's talk video. VLC is a free media player that lets you do some cool things. Open up VLC, go to Preferences, Video, select all, click on Video, Output modules, and choose color ASCII art video output. Now, my episode of Bill Nye is made out of text. I can also make my wallpaper my desktop wallpaper animated and move. Go to Preferences, Video, all, and under an output module you'll find "Use as desktop background." Ta-da! Now I can work right on top of Bill.

For my final trick, let's download some YouTube videos. Just copy your YouTube URL and open it as "network." Then go to Window, Media Information, and boom! That is its secret location. Depending on your browser, it will either take you to a full-screen version that you could download or immediately start downloading the video at full quality. Google can be a lot like old-school Napster. Use code number one in this video's description to search for downloadable audio files. Just put the keyword you want between the double quotes and sweet, look what I found.

Not big enough? Well, try to add "admir7656's" recommendation of epic Google. It just keeps growing and growing and growing until you search. You can also try Weenie Google. It shrinks and shrinks so fast.

Mac users, did you know that the application icon for Text Edit has a message on it that you can read if you zoom in enough? And Windows users, paste code number two in Notepad, save it as a ".bat" file, open it, and play tic-tac-toe.

If you have not yet seen every episode of "Up All Knight," make today the day you do it. You can click any of these to watch previous episodes, to learn stuff like how to reveal passwords and a couple, well, way more than a couple, pranks.

Subscribe to Vsauce for more and get excited for Saturday, when we're gonna have brand new Leanback...s. And as always, thanks for watching.
