Just finished watching the global live webcast of U2 from the Rosebowl Stadium in Los Angeles. The fantastic streaming quality made it seem like I was really there. Except for the crappy new songs, the uniquely U2 mix of large screen trickery, Bono’s political peppering and good ol’ rock and roll made this a good show.
Just checked the site again at 6pm: Slightly more than staggering 17 million people watched it online.

So a couple days (or was it weeks) ago, I saw this comic from the ever excellent xkcd and thought it was pretty funny. Today, I find out that YouTube really implemented it!

The audio playback is pretty good (though it unsurprisingly muddles through lorem ipsum text). One can only hope users guilty of idiot comments will suffer unspeakable blows to their self-esteem from this new feature.

Really? He’s blocked it?
Well, tell him to unblock it. It’s our… song.
