Developer “Cyan” released a new app on BeBits back on April 22nd: TubePositive. The concept is very clever – the TubePositive interface is just a small window that you can drag a URL (or Net+ bookmark) onto, along with a button to copy text from the clipboard. When that’s done with the URL of a youTube video, TubePositive will load the video inside VLC. So far, the app reportedly works in R5, ZETA, and Haiku (always a bonus) – and since it only requires a youTube URL, it works with any BeOS browser.

It’s nice to see a method that lets us watch youTube in BeOS / Haiku once more, after the last method apparently stopped working. And I have to admit that I get a sense of perverse satisfaction from seeing a “modern, web 2.0-ified” site used with a browser intended to view HTML 3.0 sites.
