I'm using Linux at home and I can't watch some video formats (for example: flash video, because my flash can't be updated now, I don't know why) but I have found a good tool for my problem: Mux. You must write the URL of the video, the input type and the wanted output type and it will convert the video to the wanted format. You are emailed when it's all done. I think it's cool, because I don't want to change my OS.
Everybody can search sounds with this great search engine. I found this site with the StumbleUpon.
You can click on any link there to perform a search, or You can enter one or more words in the search box, and then click "Search".
You can find here the sounds of the alligators or the sounds of Jurassic Park too.
It's very amusing. I have three little kids and they love this sounds!

"I had the idea for this site when I was looking for a place to cash my traveller's checks in New York City. When I googled for AmEx offices, the only page that came up was a simple address list. A native New Yorker knows each corner of Manhattan by heart and could instantly figure out which office is closest. For me, a map would have been better. Hopefully, people will use this tool to fill the web with beautiful maps instead of address lists."
