I second this. I have a cell phone and a pager because the SMS network can experience lag that costs me $ when servers are down.

I've met a few people who have said they "love" the previews. What's up with that?

Fast forward always works for me on a number of sites, incl. YouTube

Watching videos online is likely cheaper, unless lots of people watch the same thing over and over, it's not cached and they are users who are unlikely to click ads (there are a fair number of these, what, 5%?).

YouTube quality sucks. 700MB .AVIs are ok, but too much hassle to display on my TV.

I prefer DVD for the quality. I rent from zip.ca for a "pricy" $25/mo for 4 movies at a time. I get on average 10 movies a month. That's $2.50 to view a movie once, which is all I really need. DVDs should be $5 or $10 at the most. $20-$25 for 3. If they were that cheap I might actually start a collection, instead of feeling ripped off and regretting buying Saw 3 for $20 on a whim.

Auditude is a fingerprint system that basically embeds a watermark in the entire media file. That means any public web site that chooses to read this watermark can support the content creators by embedding ads over top of the media! Why oh why was this not done long ago to identify the source of piracy or at least add an extra step for pirates to remove the watermark?

FTW!
