If you want to embed a YouTube video that starts to become interesting somewhere in the middle, there's a simple way to skip the boring part. YouTube's embedded player has a parameter that lets you specify the number of seconds that should be skipped before starting to play the video. Here's how you should edit the code: append &start=[number of seconds from the start of the video] to both URLs. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/abcdefghijk&hl=en&fs=1 &start=15 "></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/abcdefghijk&hl=en&fs=1 &start=15 " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> For example, the video below includes some excerpts from Google Chrome's launch, but I skipped to the last part, when Sergey Brin answers some interesting questions. http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2008/10/embed-part-of-youtube-video.html

By Guest Blogger Mark O'Neill One of the most commonly requested features by Skype forum users is the ability to use the telephony tool from a USB flash drive. As yet, Skype has not got around to making an official portable version and even the John Haller PortableApps website, which has made portable versions of everything from Mozilla Firefox to Sudoku , doesn't seem to be in any hurry to make a portable version of Skype either. The reluctance is inexplicable, because a portable version of Skype could take off in a big way due to the enormous popularity of USB flash drives. For a start, businesspeople on trips could plug their portable Skype into computers which don't already have the Skype application downloaded, in order to make contact with the office or clients. Tourists could also plug their USB drives into internet cafe computers and run portable Skype to call home or keep in touch with friends all over the world.
