Google has admitted that it "made a big mistake" with the debut
of their new video store, according to the Seattle PI. Google VP of search Marissa Mayer said in a recent
interview, "You can't come out and launch a product like Google Video and say 'CSI' and 'Survivor' are there if
they're not on the home page." The Google Video home page was updated this week to more prominently feature its
for-pay videos. The article also mentions Google Video's the lack of support for portable devices (though eschews
mention of the lack of support for OSes other than Windows), which has yet to be remedied.Google admits "big mistake" with Google Video

I bought the Kobe-for-81 game for 4 bucks 3 days ago but haven't been able to watch it all the way through yet. Pausing the video causes the player to freeze, the video will just stop intermittently (but not the sound), and about half the time it gives an error when trying to authenticate. Bleh. $4 for this?
