Gmediafinder is a GTK application that lets you search, view and download videos from sites like YouTube. Gmediafinder is a very good alternative to Minitube in Ubuntu. Gmediafinder PPA for Ubuntu is also available which.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:s-lagui/ppasudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install gmediafinderDone. Other distros can find Gmediafinder packages here.I actually liked Gmediafinder more that Minitube. Even though both has a very similar list of features and UI, Minitube had serious stability issues in my system when I last tried it some months ago. I have to add that I haven't tried Minitube in Ubuntu 11.04 yet. Interested in more such apps?

The USDA, however grudgingly, is finally admitting the link between the use of sub-therapeutic antibiotics in farm animal feed and human drug resistance.

At a hearing of a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Wednesday, July 14, 2010, a representative of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) finally caught up with the rest of the world — and his peers at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — and admitted that the use of antibiotics in farm animal feed is contributing to the growing problem of deadly antibiotic resistance in America.

Dr. John Clifford, Deputy Administrator for Veterinary Services for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) read from his previously submitted testimony that the USDA believes it is likely that U.S. use of antibiotics in animal agriculture does lead to some cases of resistance in humans and the animals.

Why is this news? Because the USDA has been continually playing the Three Wise Monkeys game — it sees no evil, hears no evil and speaks no evil — when it comes to deadly consequences to humans of the non-therapeutic use of antibiotics in farm animals. In fact, Dr. Clifford looked as if he'd been given a choice between testifying or having his eye poked out with a stick and he lost the toss.
