    "You don’t have Flash installed, which you need to play videos. This is out of our control. Sorry about that."

    Sigh.

    "You don't have Flash installed": True.

    "which you need to play videos": Incorrect.

    "This is out of our control": Incorrect.

    "Sorry about that": Probably not.

    I've actually been wanting to find more programming talks I'm interested in lately... Unfortunately, by hacker, you didn't mean programmer. :(

    Still, nice idea. I could wish for a way to choose what to watch other than hitting 'next' and hoping, though.

    Nice idea, but lacks some additional control, that would allow switching videos in less random fashion. Floating infobox (obviously hideable one) would help here a bit too.

    Infobox could have also a real-time generated schedule, i.e. tv guide, queuing some shows and showing estimated time required to watch them (and recalcing it on forced change).

    I'd love to something more along the lines of:
