Youtube adds html5 support

[Itsbackfliptime]

Why is this important? Because flash suuuuuucks.

http://www.youtube.com/html5

What this will do is play videos using your browsers implementation of the html video tag instead of using a flash player. Safari would use about 50% of my CPU when I watched a video on youtube, using the html 5 player its around 15%.

This only works on Safari and Chrome.
