These are just some thoughts that were running through my head. I knew that Facebook provided a lot of information about users, but I never really put it into perspective and what the real dangers are of this.

Fair point... I suppose I prefer a uniform hit area size on the buttons throughout the UI. I probably have a bit of OCD :P.

I like the idea of moving them slightly off the screen to show that your window is clearly off the screen... but it might be better to indent the buttons further into the screen so that the close button is still the same size.

I figured this may help as I had also seen a fair few results for people who couldn't figure out what was causing the issue.

Thanks. I did do a Google search prior to posting, but didn't see anything.

It is a bit old, I remember seeing this in 2010, I believe. It's weird to see how far Yahoo! have gone.

Thanks! I must have missed that the first time I read, I read the same information via the Chrome support page.

Does Google add protection against harmful websites? What if I typo a URL and it starts pre-loading a malware-filled website? Just curious. A cool feature, but I think this should be opt-in.

Ahh, okay. Fair enough. Yeah, it took me a while to find some HD videos. I noticed it when stumbling across an advert for Breaking Bad which was uploaded by a user, if I remember correctly. I haven't tested on all of my computers yet, but I

I'm still having some problems with the player, but I've updated to Chrome 17 and my caching issue seems to have gone away. Not sure what the cause was.

That's a good point. However, the downside to HTML5 is that if your computer freezes for a moment, the video continues playing and you may have to rewind a few moments. Flash tends to pause the video when a computer freezes. I haven't notic

You may be right, however, some people haven't experienced the caching issue when using the same browser and version that I was using at the time of this post (Chrome 17 just came out), which makes me wonder if the download limitation was i

I agree. They've done such a good job in mimicking the look of the Flash player than many in the HTML5 opt-in probably don't realise half the videos they watch are presented in Flash. Thanks for the links, very interesting reads. I agree th

You're right, it must be a Chrome issue. I just clicked your link and it worked this time the video is having the same jittery playback I experience on YouTube's HTML5 player.

Hmm, it might be that I've used two large background images plus transparency on top of them. I may have to re-design. Sorry about that. It's still a work in progress, actually, so if you change your browser width to below around 760px, the

So you've had that caching issue with Flash as well? I'm wondering if it's YouTube setting a limit to how much video can be downloaded in the case that the user clicks off the video early, thus saving bandwidth. If it is, then I simply won'

Oh good, so I'm not the only one with the caching issue! Wait, that's bad actually, haha. Were you using Chrome to test the cache? I'm going to try FireFox as well as that apparently hasn't had the buffering issue, so it may not have the ca

Nope, I'm merely browsing the YouTube website. Are you using Chrome 16 as well?

Your link isn't working for me. I'll test out some other browsers shortly. I'm surprised that Google wouldn't optimise the HTML5 player to fit YouTube considering they own both products.

I haven't tried on Windows, but on my Mac my dock is set on the right-hand side of my screen. This means that if I move the mouse to the bottom-right or top-right corner, the dock sometimes pops up if I'm not careful. I can't move it to the

That's interesting. So you can use 1080p just fine? May I ask what download rate you generally get when browsing YouTube? I didn't have any issues with the sound, but my computers all have one sound output apart from one which is connected
