If you've got a computer, you know what YouTube is. In fact, most people, including myself, have uploaded videos to YouTube at one point or another until our accounts have inevitably been suspended. It's the circle of life on the Internet, and I am very pleased with it. Without YouTube after all, I would be unable to watch my guilty pleasure, America's Next Top Model.
What's the bad news about YouTube? Well, the videos that are uploaded are typically of lesser quality. In fact, the most common complaint that you will see on the video comment sections is about the quality. In reply, most users will explain that "something" happened to their video during the upload process. There is a hack to be able to view high quality version of videos, but soon, that hack will hopefully be rendered useless.
YouTube has finally announced all users have the option of watching some videos in higher quality. A blog post on their site claims they're slowly integrating this new feature, and videos uploaded in the proper format will be the first to be available in high quality. The rest of the library will soon follow, with any luck.
Simply go into your user account and select the option: "always show me higher quality when available." High speed Internet is going to work best, because otherwise the videos may suffer from lag time. Nobody likes lag time.
I have been waiting for this feature for a long time. Finally, my prayers have been answered, and I will soon be able to watch YouTubeHD. There are enough capital letters in that word to make anyone excited.
