Sort YouTube Videos By Date In Chrome


When searching on YouTube, one often faces the dilemma of being unable to find recently uploaded videos on top of the search result list. Suppose you are looking for the recent highlight of a football match, YouTube will instead show the results of matches that were held some one or two years ago. And if you are searching for a recent movie trailer, you might end up getting older videos on top of the search result (e.g. trailers of the previous part of the movie). These are just two of the countless examples. If you get frustrated by this, then Double Click YouTube Sorted By Date extension for Chrome will come useful. It sorts videos on YouTube search result page by date. Therefore, you can view the most recent videos on top of the result rather than having to sweep through old videos to find the recent one.
In the below screenshot you can see that some very old YouTube videos are being displayed on top of the YouTube search result. With the help of this extension, by double clicking on the search page, the recent videos are displayed first (as shown in the next image).

As you can see the YouTube page got sorted by the recent videos on top of the search result by double clicking on the same YouTube page.

swifText For Android – Faster Text Messaging With Pop-Up Notifications


If you find it bothersome to launch Android’s built-in messaging application or to drag down the notification bar every time you need to reply to a received text message, then swifText for Android is a text messaging alternative you might want to consider. The freeware can be set to display pop-up notifications for each received text message in addition to the usual status bar notification and allows you to reply immediately from within said pop-ups, making swifText a faster alternative to the default Android messaging application.
In addition, the application sports a sleeker UI that certain users might prefer over the minimalistic interface of the built-in messaging application.
The primary purpose of swifText, as its name implies, is to make viewing and replying to incoming text messages zippy and painless. The better looking interface is a mere bonus. In fact, it is possible that you might prefer the plain and simple UI of the built-in application, in which case you should let it remain your default messaging application.

If, however, you would rather have better looking message threads and don’t mind advertisements then you might want to set swifText as your default messaging application. To do that, simply press the menu button on your device while on the Messaging (Inbox) screen, tap Settings, check the the first option from the top (Use swifText) and in the pop-up that appears, check Use by default for this action and selectswifText from the list of displayed messaging applications.

The application also allows you to turn status bar notifications and home screen alerts/pop-ups on and off. So if you simply want a better look for your message threads but would rather not have pop-ups crowding your home screen every time a text message is received, you may uncheck Show Alert from theSettings menu of the application.

Head on over to the Android Market to get swifText or simply scan the provided QR code.

If you’ve found some duplicate files while visually scanning different folders, it’s an indication that all the drives must be checked for the duplicate files and folders. Before choosing a duplicate file cleaner, do check that to which extent it can search and apply filters using regular expressions and if it considers NTFS junctions as duplicate or not. AllDup offers a quick way of finding and removing duplicate files while supporting almost multiple types of filters to narrow down the search.
