Get ready for 1080p video on YouTube |
When YouTube unveiled the ability to upload and stream 720p video last year, it started off a bit slow, which is to be expected, with only 1% of the uploaded videos taking advantage of it. But now that number is approaching 10%, so YouTube has announced that it will increase the maximum resolution of videos to 1080p.
Awesome news yes? The company is vowing to let users stream video that looks as good or better than the source quality. According to YouTube Director of Product Management Hunter Walk, the company is re-encoding all the 1080p videos that have been uploaded over the past year, and they’re about halfway through already.

Everybody is crazy about 3D. It’s all the rage and we’re happy about that. We truly are. Just as long as we don’t have to wear those dorky glasses. Looks like YouTube is even getting in on the action, working on 3D videos so that you can see stuff like Keyboard Cat in glorious 3D.

We’ll leave it up to you to decide if this video is real or fake. It shows off a purportedly “stolen” PS3 slim at a street market in the Philippines. You decide.
