Brandon Davenport | Posted on 11:29 AM Just when you thought all odds we're turning on the iPad - somebody decided to turn on auto-generated captions at Youtube. New levels of absurdity will be reached in the next 8 minutes of this video caught by Engadget, complete with hilarious auto-captions and giggles all around.
Brandon Davenport | Posted on 11:53 PM I decided "to hell with it" and threw our awesome, super cool Squarespace promo video up onto Youtube! Just to let you all know, I got in contact with some of the great people at Squarespace and they loved it (maybe even more than you ;) So you can enjoy it on Vimeo, T3ch H3lp and Youtube.

Youtube has been known in the past to mess stuff up, really bad, along with everybody else like Facebook, Digg and us T3ch H3lp, but sometimes stuff just turns out ok. Look at it this way, they took one of the most bland, flavorless and washed out website styles and flipped it all around. They threw in some actual elements that make sense like a new rating system, commenting system, searching tools and much more. While the guys and girls over at Youtube are taking a breather, lets look at some of the coolest stuff that changed.

We all know that Adobe's Flash runs a lot of high tech sites, video players, and more. The problem, as most of us know, is that it takes a lot of processing power to run. This is partly the reason Apple doesn't have Flash player on the iPhone. With recent options like Microsoft's Silverlight and HTML5, Flash is arguably becoming the worst option you have to watch media. The real question for many companies, though, is that is Flash still the future or is HTML5 the answer? Many video hosting sites like YouTube and Vimeo are putting their money with the latter.
As of now the only problem with HTML5 is that it only works with a few browsers such as Safari and Chrome, but it does come in the h.264 format that's supported by all browsers. This is how you are able to watch YouTube videos from you cell phone or iPhone, and Apple nerds will be happy to hear about this move especially because of the terrible Flash performance on Mac OS X and Linux systems. I recently have had huge problems with Flash constantly crashing on my Mac while watching online videos, but thankfully if flash dies, I wouldn't have to wait for updates or worry about Flash crashing anymore. This may very be the death of Flash video in the making.

Have you heard the news? Youtube apparently launched a feature called "the HTML5 player" today. We thought it was launched in 2009 because I was using it a while back now, but I must be in a time space continuum and you guys just found out about it. Personally I think the Youtube HTML5 player is not really all that good. I am going to compare it to the Vimeo HD player.

I often find myself looking to Youtube to find a new band I'm into, or about to like, for the sole reason of "I will be able to listen to it, watch it and its free". The one downside of using Youtube as a makeshift iTunes is when you search for a song or band, it usually brings up a couple of their music videos and a slew of useless crap. No I don't want to see your 3 year old playing guitar to Metallica, I want to see the actuall Metallica concert or music video. Now thanks to the power of science, I can use Youtube Music Discovery to pull together whole albums from the masses of videos, ready for me to listen or watch.

Youtube is known for throwing its weight around and slowing down comp's with lower specs. Just to name one specifically, the Netbook. To help remedy this very real issue Youtube has decided to beta test a new feature known as "FeatherLite". Stripping down the site to its bare, posting comments and sharing video features are disabled, but little is missed. It's a much cleaner look and I wish that this would be standard on Youtube as a whole.
Ricardo Trejo | Posted on 3:32 PM The Sims come to life in a CollegeHumor made trailer of horrific proportions. It's no masterpiece, but it does the trick. I can't wait to see what they decide to use for the actual live action adaptation.
More videos after the break!
