  • Aooogah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They really need to get the rights to show the videos they have listed under channels. That would be awesome.
  • mojaam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ahh Google are smart. Downloading a plug in will certainly turn some people away. Good move.

  • compu73rg33k, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is really sweet. Flash > VLC for attempting to serve the most amount of people.
    Yey for Linux.
  • suicidal-kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't like it. You cant make it full screen any more.
  • gCoder08, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I love the preview feature, pressing the play icon shows a short preview of the goog times!
  • AdverseEntropy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is still pretty friggin' awesome.
  • VerbalIronyX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Omfg I now love google even more then usual
  • psyonide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Google Video itself may be old, but their implementation of Flash it what's new.

    IMPORTANT NOTE:

    It seems Google has gotten rid of the feature to search for playable videos only ... HOWEVER ...

    Type "Playable:True" into your search string (minus the quotation marks) and you will be able to search for playable videos only.

  • Eamon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This Chris Rock show ain't too bad, but I can't seem to get anything else to work.
  • ardnut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0For me the sound gets out of sync very quickly on all videos, any one else getting that problem?
  • 0zzy, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0OMFG! SHES WEARING A F'IN IPOD IN 1984! WTFWTFWTFWTF!
