YouTube launches multi-upload tool

by Brad Linder Nov 9th 2007

YouTube is making it easier to upload all those webcam videos you've got sitting around on your desktop. The video sharing site has released a new tool that lets users upload more than one video at a time. The application comes in the form of a small download that works with your web browser. Once the app is installed, you can go to the multiple upload page and upload umm... multiple videos. Imagine that.

There's also a new file size limit. Users can upload videos up to 1GB, whereas the previous limit was 100MB. But your videos are still limited to 10 minutes. So we guess that means you can put higher quality videos on YouTube, although until the company rolls out H.264 support, we're guessing the end result will still be a compressed, low quality video. But hey, the higher quality your source material, the better the finished video will look.

Right now the uploader is Windows only, although a Mac version is in the works. There's no word on a Linux version.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
