    Google has tweaked YouTube a bit. Besides the 720p/480p/360p replacing HQ/HD. Youtube has a beta for their new video page that simplifies everything and reduces the clutter, along with allowing you to continue to watch a video while searching. I'm liking it so far, especially finally being able to search while continuing to watch the video.

    Also, I don't know if it's because they've completed they're changes or if it's the HTML 5 beta I also enabled but Youtube has finally become usable for me again in terms of speed. For the past few months it took me forever to load a video, even on my new laptop. I seem to have no problems now. Anybody else have a similar experience?

    Youtube - New video page beta (It will enable it and take you to a video.)

    Here's the HTML 5 (Video without Flash, uses a lot less processor power) beta opt-in link.

    HTML 5 beta (Chrome/Safari Only for now)

    So far it's freaking buggy. The stupid "Error, try again" cause me to triple posted.

    Hence the word "Beta".
