Tumblr 101: Tips And Tricks To Get Started
WATCH: Shredding On The Google Guitar!
YouTube 1080p roll-out begins
So far there doesn't seem to be a way to search for the high-high definition videos, and the only example I have is a Nokia video of some poor, disadvantaged Indonesian farmer -- but I'm sure it's only a matter of time before YouTube/Google officially announce the changes to their video player.
In the meantime, if you find any videos that have been enabled for 1080p playback, share them in the comments!
The Nokia video is included after the break, if you want to see what the quality looks like.
[thanks to Revo for the tip!]

It's no Hulu HD that's for sure. Pretty poor quality but maybe this video was shot in SD and then upconverted to HD. Dunno, but it looks like crap.

Yeah, I couldn't notice any real difference between 720p and 1080p -- but as you say, the source might not be 1080p :)

Uhmm, 1080p refers to resolution not quality.

1080p YouTube + Flash 10.1 w/ GPU-acceleration = win.

Nice slideshow. With Wave supporting only html5 browsers and youtube dropping ie6 support, maybe it's time to at least OFFER embedded video?!?
