Viewers might see a new option in YouTube's dropdown resolution menu on the web if they're paying for the video hosting platform's Premium subscription service. According to The Verge, YouTube's 1080p playback option with "enhanced bitrate" is now available on desktop around the world. It's located above the ordinary 1080p option in the menu, and clicking on it will prompt users to pay for Premium if they're not currently a subscriber.  YouTube started testing 1080p Premium earlier this year, describing it as a "version of 1080p which provides more information per pixel that results in a higher quality viewing experience." The higher bitrate, which is used as a measurement for the amount of video data transferred within a certain timeframe, it provides could give viewers a better quality without having to watch in higher resolution. Yes, 4K is available for some videos, but that means having to stream a larger file that not everyone's connection can handle and could eat up a significant portion of some people's data allowance.  The service also rolled out enhanced 1080p on iOS a few months ago, but now more people will have access to it. That said, YouTube recently raised the prices for a

Alaa Abdelnaby was an unusual Blue Devil. First, he is almost certainly the only Egyptian to ever play in the ACC and if he’s not, then he’s surely the only native of Alexandria to play in the conference (Egypt, not Virginia). Second, when he got to Duke, he was obviously talented, but he was strikingly immature. That’s not so unusual. Lots of college freshmen are immature. But he was clearly immature and took a while to grow up. He also partied pretty heavily. It’s again not unusual for a college player to party; it is a bit surprising for a Muslim. He managed to drive his car into a tree at one point and when he talked about Duke academics, he hilariously said ”the only way I can make five A’s is when I sign my name.” But he matured eventually and by his senior year, he was a reliable player and became a first round draft pick. But it took a while. As Coach K, said, everyone runs their own race. In this interview with Andre Dawkins, Abdelnaby talks about getting to Duke, learning how to deal with Coach K, and mentoring Christian Laettner and Bobby Hurley. And interestingly

When you want to download a video from YouTube, a quick web search will reveal several tools that promise to do the job—but even leaving aside the issue of violating the YouTube terms of service, we can’t guarantee that they’re safe or reliable. If you want to download YouTube videos, there’s only one official way to go about it: To put down $14 a month for YouTube Premium. That might seem a lot for the privilege of downloading videos, but it also means that you’ll never see an ad again, can keep videos playing in the background on a phone, and will get access to a complete Spotify competitor in the form of YouTube Music.

YouTube TV’s price has more than doubled since Google first debuted the service, but despite that it still offers a compelling experience for live TV streaming. Now, though, new YouTube TV users can get a discount on their first few months. Currently, YouTube TV is offering new users a discounted rate of $64.99 per month, down from $72.99 per month. That discount rolls the price back to the service’s earlier rate before a price hike earlier this year. The lower price only kicks in for a subscriber’s first three months, at which point the service will jump back up to $72.99 per month going forward, making this roughly a $25 discount over the course of three months. That’s not exactly a massive discount, but it’s a solid offer for a service that rarely gets any sort of price drop. As CordCuttersNews points out, you can also combine this with a three-week trial, as well as a $50 discount on NFL Sunday Ticket through September 9. This temporary YouTube TV price cut is only available if you sign up before August 10, so you’ll need to act quickly. You can sign up now at tv.youtube.com. More on YouTube TV: Multiview comes
