Off on a bit of a tangent here, but has anyone noticed that Google's efforts to HTML5ize Youtube seem to have totally stalled out for desktop browsers? Progress seems to have stopped after deals were announced with adobe over android flash. It also seems virtually certain Google has the source code the the flashplayer, as it came out relatively quickly for Chrome's PAPI (adobe moves like a snail when it comes to supporting new apis, especially ones where older apis continue to function), and chrome flashplayer appears to receive patches before even the "official" flashplayer releases do. I wonder if that doesn't somehow factor into the seemingly arbitrary flash requirements on youtube.
