YouTube Gets Long-Expected HD Update

Posted 12/09/08 at 05:01:31 PM by Andy Salisbury

It wasn’t too long ago that YouTube began testing out their HD capabilities. And now, just a few short weeks later they’ve released a fully capable HD feature on their site.

Bear in mind that this isn’t the “watch in high quality” button that many of you have been seeing lately, but there’s an actual “watch in HD” button available for many videos on the popular video-sharing site.

The quality of the videos is easily up to par with other sites offering the same feature, such as Vimeo, and this finally catapults YouTube into the HD ring.

Should you be interested in streaming some of the new HD content make sure that your ISP is up to par – you’ll need a high-speed connection in order to watch these babies smoothly.

Nobody has even touched the subject or the opinion on what they think about the new update. I wish High Definition was "standard def". Mainstream is SO slow to the HD game and it's still more of a hobby sort of thing.

Hurry up.

Emm... She is hot and all

Emm... She is hot and all and I'd take her on to be truthful but I really swing the other way. I like big butts. I love sistas. I've got that jungle fever.

I have always preferred darker skinned gals if you know what I mean. I guess that I really took Sir Mix Alot for his word and I never looked back....

If you saw my wife she is a knock out and we just had our third baby last wednesday at 11:25am Phoenix Arizona time.

Boy 7lb 4oz 22"long.

This is our 2nd boy. It went Boy, then girl and then boy again.
