  1. Hey, Google. Still got that business motto, “Don’t Be Evil,” printed in friendly font all around your headquarters?

  2. I think you’re probably wrong, Muta? Google has made a statement, saying it’s a piece of code that is testing randomly. The way to get around anti trust laws is to make it occur inconsistently, over time, isn’t it? For most people, 5 seconds will be enough to make most people abandon the video and maybe even the tools that are there to help them block ads and spoof sources. If that random effect gets around to everyone eventually, you don’t need it to be persistent. Why is the 5 second delay there at all? It doesn’t even look like regular buffering, but more like a server crash of some sort, until it clears up.
