Hey Guys,

I helping my sister out with her new macbook. Apparently it takes forever to load youtube or anything else were you would stream video's. She use's her PC which loads them instantly and her mac takes 10-15 mins to watch a youtube video? Any clues on whats going on?

Youtube just released their videos in html5. that might help out the loading speed versus flash.

^^ In my experience HTML5 has been slower than Youtube was previously. Is it faster for most people? I still use the HTML5 opt in either way.
