Maybe it has something to do with the scores of tabs I have open in Firefox, maybe it's just Windows messing with me for not using IE. But I have to agree that news sites ought to strive for being as good as (or better than) YouTube; all too often news sites treat video like an afterthought. (And doubleplus agreement with the "leave the users in control" sentiment. If I wanted auto-start and no choice in seeing the next clip, I'd be watching TV, thanks.)
