Here’s a brand new hack which is extremely popular right now because we don’t want to wait for hours of lag before watching the events from NBC etc… We want to watch it live and we want it now… I hear you. So here’s how you “WATCH OLYMPIC LIVE”… follow these steps
Start Firefox 2 or 3…
1. Go to the YouTube Home page
2. On Firefox, click Tools | Options…
3. Click the Privacy tab
4. Click the “Show Cookies…” button
5. On the search box, type youtube and you’ll see a couple of youtube cookies
6. Now delete the cookie named GEO by clicking the “Remove Cookie” button. Don’t do it on all the cookies, just the GEO line.
7. Now go back to the YouTube page that you have open. This step is very important. Make sure you have the YouTube home page while doing this.
8. On the URL line: cut and paste this:
javascript:alert(document.cookie="GEO=bb84fb3cd7df0311bb5026df4d6b524fcxkAAABLUixubyByZWdpb24sc2VvdWwsLCwsLC0x;path=/;domain=.youtube.com");
9. Click enter and you’ll set a popup box but don’t worry it’s normal.
10. Now on that same page, type the URL: http://www.youtube.com/beijing2008
