Believe it or not, Atari have just released a bunch of old games on their own website. These aren't clones, these aren't even 'loving interpretations' -- these are the real thing, remade by Atari themselves. This comes as part of a re-launch for the Atari website which includes an online store.
I warn you, if you read on, this might turn into more than just a mere ten-minute time-waster.

I am still an SD flunky, but shouldn't that graphic read 1080 lines of HORIZONTAL resolution? or do I have to figure out some other new format, like 1080 X 608?

No, because there is a horizontal side and a vertical side. So if you take the VERTICAL side - there are 1080 lines coming out from that side (left to right/right to left). Even though technically the lines are horizontal, you count how many lines there are from top to bottom (1080) and top to bottom happens to be the VERTICAL plane, so that is why you say 1080 lines of VERTICAL resolution.

I hope they increase the bandwidth...Sometimes YouTubes HD is slow to stream as is.

As if Flash H.264 video didn't already kill my processor at 720p...

What he said. I have to downscale my display to run Hulu fullscreen, regardless of what the actual *content* is encoded at (since the controls are rendered at the native display resolution). What's going to happen when Flash is flogging my poor processor with 1920*1080*24 bits of information per frame? We all know how well Flash handles (or *doesn't* handle) hardware acceleration -- HTML5 video can't get here soon enough...
