YouTube and HTML5

Warning

Today I noticed with joy that YouTube seems to have finally moved completely to using HTML5 to play their videos, without the need to participate in the beta as required before. I noticed this as I was astounded by the fact that YouTube worked on a freshly installed Archlinux although no Flash was installed before. This is a another step taken towards a Flash-free future ;)
