Throwing out Yahoo photos is a much nicer solution.
Still, many won't like it...

As for myself, I found the image sizes too small, but I suppose we are basing the keywords on first impressions and are expected to come from the image search.
It might be a copyright issue as well, after all the images come from external sites.
or you might get burnt. Three weeks ago a few drops on my laptop made it look like a poorly tuned car - with black smoke propelled by the cooling fan, and unusual sound effects. Don't try it at home, or at least try to wait 2x longer than you-think-it's-dry-already, before you switch it back on.
An added difficulty for YouTube is that it is lacking an emotional hook to differentiate itself from a pure functional service (think iPod). Users visit YouTube not based on any of the brand's perceived values, but on its ability to give them what they want, when and how they want it.
If the website is able to give users what they want, it does create 'perceived value' or positive emotions. If now this value is put in the context of e.g. the YouTube logo, I understand this brand becomes more valueable to these users as well. At least that's what happened to me yesterday after I got to watch some videos of geriatric1927.
By the way, here you can compare YouTube, Google Video and 19 other video search engines. (yes, it's my website)

This product has never stopped being a top choice for demanding consumers and corporate buyers, whether they are looking for size, power, or features.
Or just a single feature - like the TrackPoint... Few other brands have them nowadays.

Of course not everyone will sell, but imagine a small fraction that eventually will. That could be hundreds.

Well they did say it in a movie... And we all know that what we see in movies are real, don't we?
Of course, and the movies say short memory is not a big problem anyway.

The bitrates are not impressive, but I can't recall a single pause/buffering issue with them (adsl2+, UK).
