comment What happened to Google Calculator? It no longer seems to work
@Louis: using the clipboard to get the result is now completely and utterly broken. Google Calculator has put us 20 years back in time, to the era of the physical calculator. We now again have to type the result in where it is needed.

comment How can casing for page headers on GitHub wikis be controlled?
Regarding the source: During research, I remember seeing a page referring to an update delay, but I closed the page... I will update when I locate it.

comment What happened to YouTube download URLs?
youtube-nocookie.com exists (note the "nocookie" part) and a tracert leads to almost the same server. Perhaps this could be used instead.

comment How to find the exact time a tweet was tweeted
Does this method still work? When I tried on sample URL twitter.com/petermortensen/status/88211587667738625 (known to posted on 2011-07-05, within Unix time range 1309755600 - 1309928400) I could not locate anything resembling the expected Unix time in the HTML source.

comment How can I change a LinkedIn group's email digest from every day to every week?
Even changing the email address does not seem to be respected (even after 24 hours).

comment Playing YouTube videos at half speed?
If the YouTube video has been downloaded (usually as a Flash video) then the conversion step is not necessary. It can be played in VLC Player as is (at half the speed).

comment Transferring all YouTube videos to another video hosting site?
BCdotNET, it is just that sending a download URL found by KeepVid to someone else (or to one's download program) will not work.

comment I need a tool to automatically do a Google Translate operation on all tweets in my Twitter feed
The link now says "Deprecated". On 2011-05-26, Google announced that the Google Translate API had been deprecated and that it would cease functioning on 2011-12-01.

"LinkedIn visual connections maps". Are you referring to InMaps?

The URLs from KeepVid only works in the same browser context (cookies?). See What happened to YouTube download URLs?.

I would like to be proven wrong, but I don't think it is possible to use the URLs outside of a browser context (cookies?) after the changes in 2010-07. See What happened to YouTube download URLs?.

@aberry: instead of posing questions in an answer it is better if you post a new question.

comment How do I download a YouTube video?
There appears to be a size limit using this service. I get a timeout error after about 23 MB. For instance, I can only get the first 10 minutes of Randall Munroe's (inventor of xkcd) Google Tech Talk, 3outube.com/watch?v=zJOS0sV2a24
