How about instead of all this extraneous bullshit Youtube implements the one feature I've been craving since day one: AN OPTION TO DISABLE FUCKING AUTO-PLAY.

It's so obvious that it's ridiculous that it's taken this long.

... and yes, I already have the Firefox plugins. But I'd prefer a built-in solution. #gizmodoremainders

1080p YouTube? That just strikes me as a bandwidth consuming cost center for a user base that, 90% of the time, probably doesn't care about such exacting quality. The appeal of YouTube is its variety and amount of content alongside a very fast loading time. I really wouldn't want to wait several minutes to buffer a 1080p video of some funny clip a friend linked me to, even if it is a credible news source or a comparable professional grade video. If I wanted high-definition video of anything, YouTube would not be my choice, since I can't download it.

Granted, that's all based on my personal use, but I would wager the majority of YouTube's user base that enthuses about high definition video wouldn't choose YouTube for their 1080p wants. #gizmodoremainders

@CanadianSL: Actually, with the Download helper tool on Firefox, you CAN download youtube videos. VLC can play the .flv's, as can Quicktime when you download the Perian plugin. #gizmodoremainders

The USB FM radio could be useful sometimes when you want to listen to a channel the doesn't or won't broadcast.

For example.. A local station where I live cuts off it's online broadcast when it runs live KU football & basketball games (which is the only time I would want to listen). They cut the online broadcast because KU wants anyone listening online to be paying for the broadcast through another service they have.

Also you could use it for easy rebroadcasting of a station online... Take what you pick up over the air and broadcast it online. There might be some legal problems there. But it would be a super low budget and easy way for a small station to get their broadcast online. #gizmodoremainders

@Moe Kalbouneh: Who are you streaming it from? I stream HD content from Netflix (and sometimes Amazon Unbox, rather than via Roku) with no problems at all, and my connection averages about 18Mb. The bandwidth on a 720p stream shouldn't exceed 16 TO 20 Mb, depending upon compression (mpeg-2 or mpeg-4). Are you going through a wireless connection? If so, that could be your choke point. #gizmodoremainders

@Moe Kalbouneh: Ahh... YouTube seems to choke a lot. I suspect they have horrible bandwidth, and the number of constant users probably doesn't help. I've never been a big fan. #gizmodoremainders
