There are billions of hours of video on YouTube. Literally. And that's hardly the most astounding statistic about the site, which has been the go-to destination for uploading and watching video since 2005. That said, sometimes, you really want or need to have one of those videos on your own computer or phone. But when the topic of downloading YouTube videos comes up, there's a side subject that must be broached: Is it legal? On the copyright front, as long as you're downloading a video for your own personal offline use, you're probably okay. It's more black and white when you consider Google's terms of service for YouTube, which read: "You are not allowed to...access, reproduce, download, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, alter, modify or otherwise use any part of the Service or any Content except: (a) as expressly authorized by the Service; or (b) with prior written permission from YouTube and, if applicable, the re...

Writers and filmmakers often take doomy views of the web. But new animation Belle, by Japanese director Mamoru Hosoda, shows off its beautiful possibilities, writes Kambole Campbell. When we think about how the internet shapes our lives, especially in art, we tend to imagine the worst. From TV shows like Black Mirror and feature documentaries like The Social Dilemma, to novels like The Circle, writers and filmmakers have portrayed the digital realm as one where we indulge self-destructive and narcissistic impulses, and where our privacy and security is breached. However, as the dystopian treatments of the internet mount up, one filmmaker has been on a different mission: to showcase the beauty of online connection. In the eyes of Japanese anime director Mamoru Hosoda, the web is an ever-evolving realm of exciting potential, an attitude embodied in his aesthetic approach to visualising this digital world.

Updated link: Try clicking this link instead to access Google Tasks as a separate website! I love Google Tasks. Even though its identity has effectively been split between two different task management systems – one in Google Chat, and the other remaining traditionally named with just a new logo and a few new features, it's still a fantastic way to quickly jot down anything you need to remember. In fact, the combination of Tasks, Keep, and Calendar have become my modern Bullet Journal, replacing my own analog productivity system. I guess I'm just that much of a millennial, but even though paper is still special to me, I can't reconcile with its lack of fluidity. While I love using Google Chat's new task system with my family to do life together, it's not yet perfect, and sometimes, the original Google Tasks is the way to go. Besides, it's kind of sort of integrated with it, just not in separate lists – only in the main list. Because of this, I find myself poppi...

Everyone knows Alexa is a helpful assistant on Amazon  Echo speakers — but did you know it's also available to use on the iPhone? Today, virtual assistants are a common part of daily life. iPhones and iPads have Siri, Android phones come with Google Assistant, and Amazon makes a plethora of smart speakers/displays with Alexa. Whether someone wants to check on the weather or manage their smart home devices, these AI helpers can be infinitely useful. As with all things in life, however, some of these assistants are better than others. There are certain things Google Assistant is unmatched at, whereas Siri and Alexa have their unique strengths. While iPhone users may think they're limited to using Siri and nothing more, that's not true.

Quite a bit of Tubi news today which should be of interest to fans of the free streaming service. The Xbox app updated with some changes, an official Tubi app launched for Windows devices, and both Tubi apps are now available for viewers in Mexico. The Tubi Xbox app update was a subtle one but it should also be a noticeable one for regular users. The app's layout now loads much faster than before while the main menu has been shrunk a bit to allow for the display of more thumbnails. The search experience also feels vastly improved. This Xbox app update appears to have coincided with the launch the official Tubi app in the Microsoft Store app store for Windows computers and tablets. However, despite sharing the same app store listing as the Xbox app, the Windows app is a completely different experience and is basically just a wrapper for the Tubi website. Tubi is relatively new in Mexico having just launched there within the past year. It's unclear why the Xbox app wasn...

Over the last few years, criminals have increasingly turned to cloud-based storage platforms to deliver malware to potential targets. A simple new feature that's been added to Google Drive will help its users avoid becoming these insidious attacks. What is this new layer of defense? It's a simple, brightly-colored banner across the top of the page. Files that Google's advanced malware detection finds sketchy will be flagged. The banner plainly states "This file looks suspicious. It might be used to steal your personal information." Image: Google It may not sound like a big deal, but it's just the sort of deterrent that can keep unwary users out of harm's way. How does Google Drive determine that a file like the one in the example might be malicious? Things such as requesting financial information or personal data might raise flags, as would form fields and active features like macros. The...
