    Minor, but still good.

    Thanks tipster

    Then again, maybe not so minor when you factor in that YouTube just got upgraded to allow for widescreen content and even 720p content.

  3. stalkingsilence Says:

    Only the first bullet is new, but I can’t wait for this. Should make viewing YouTube and NBC.com a more pleasurable experience, among other things.
    One minor thing – This is from the old update: Support for Adobe® Flash® Player 9 has been added to [Internet Browser].*
