It's not the full video, they're just splicing quotes together.

And they're using a crappy Flash video player that doesn't support full screen and keeps resetting when it runs out of bandwidth, despite pegging my CPU. How barbaric. (Once you're used to HTML5, it's hard to go back to the old way)

That's pretty ironic, if you ask me.

Ironic or illuminating?

It did work on the iPad though, so it seems they are using HTML5 <video> as a fallback if you don't have Flash.

My first reaction was "they have it backwards!" But is it actually better to put Flash before HTML5 video? And if that is the case, for how long?
