 I thought it was prudent to mention, on the un-modified latest build 613,
 YouTube fails to stream any video and the scaling is off.  I was told by
 other OLPC developers that the latest version of Gnash effectively plays
 YouTube videos, so the fix might be as simple as replacing the version of
 Gnash included in the distribution.

 The kids will probably not be savy enough to download and install the
 latest adobe flash version themselves (they will just think to
 themselves..    it just doesn't work), so I suggest at least providing
 instructions for the teacher/government/provider on the proper way go go
 about getting an effective copy of Flash running.  I tested on the
 provided 613 VirtualBox device.   In addition a developer with a test XO
 verified that it failed on 612.

 YouTube uses actual video embedded within the flash content or streamed
 from an adobe streaming server.
