Google Chrome: How to Stop Youtube Loading Data from the Internet

I love Youtube and I believe many people love it too. Many people like to embed the Youtube video into their websites or blogs so they can write something about the video and share with friends.

Sometimes, after I have clicked the play button on the embedded video in somebody's blog but I would like to stop it because I found that the video is not interested to me at all. I can only pause the video and I can't stop it from loading data from Internet because there is no stop button at the embed video.

Windows Live Messenger: Beware of Unsolicited Messages Sent From Your Friends’ Live Account

Recently (Starting from the beginning of the year), I received quite a lot of messages with links from my friends' Live account on Windows Live Messenger. The messages were sent by my friends' intention and some of the messages were sent as offline messages.

As discover by a few other bloggers (LiewCf and CyberHQ), the links in the messages will redirect you to a MSN phishing site and ask you to key your Live account's username and password. The phishing site tries to trick you by showing you "your images" that have been uploaded to Live website if you login into your Live account.
