youtube widescreen, defaulted.
at

A few of you might remember my articles a few days ago, how I discovered that YouTube has a hidden widescreen setting, and found out how to enable it.
Now it seems that YouTube has finally taken action and set widescreen view as default. That means, you won’t have to modify your cookies to get the video into widescreen format anymore.
Now we just need to find out if there is a way to get the old 4:3 back :P

I just noticed this now too. I don’t mind the widescreen but will take some time to get used to I guess
I can confirm this…
I like it as well :).
