What is it about youtube.com that insists on requiring Macromedia
Flash? Since when do you need Flash for a simple video? I see where
Google made the mistake of buying this company recently... Hopefully
they'll remove the requirement for Macromedia Flash...

Its a done deal:

As for the flash, I think its serves 2 purposes:
1) Prevent most people from copying the videos
2) Puts all videos into one format, so no issues with codecs

It's now a done deal.

$1.6 billion with a B. About .1% of Google's market cap. (I know,
not really that small, but not much dilution of the stock).
