Want to download a video you just watched on Google?  No problem, Check out this article from Google Operating System.  It explains how to easily download any You tube video without installing any software.  All you have to do is add a special 'Bookmarklet' to the bookmark toolbar in Firefox.  It may sound confusing but all you do is drag the 'Get YouTube Video' bookmarlet from this article onto your bookmarks toolbar in Firefox.  From here, goto youtube, watch a video and while its playing, simply click on the 'Get YouTube Video' bookmarklet and you will get the Save As dialogue box.  Its now saved on your hard drive.

The Google Operating System blog is a great resource for all things Google.  This may be their most useful posting yet.
