Lately I have noticed many issues playing their videos embedded in the articles. Especially from their indian portal, in.yahoo.com, where I frequently get an error saying that “this video is not available in your area”. Are you kidding me? It’s the Internet!

Hope to be posting more tech tips soon! Lot of cool tech to be shared.
