Hopefully this will be available for Google Apps hosted email.
"Priority Inbox will be rolling out to all Gmail users, including those of you who use Google Apps, over the next week or so."

I get a lot of stuttering due to Youtube throttling bandwidth usage at the server end. Videos start great, but after that initial buffer is done with, it often inches forward too slowly to keep up with the playback rate. When this happens, and I really want to watch the video, I use FlashGot in Firefox to download the FLV directly and play it back in Media Player Classic.
This may not help your particular situation, but I'd urge you to try VLC ( http://videolan.org/ ) since it has awesome support for playing YouTube videos. It requires that you paste the YouTube URL into its "Open Network Stream" dialog, but is otherwise painless. Almost anything has to be better than using Media Player Classic.
There could even be a backlash.

Gmail is starting to remind me more and more why I like free software so much: I want the ability to hack it to do what I want. The feature I'm desperate for is to have it use specific email addresses with specific people: dedasys.com for most correspondence, gmail with family, maybe hecl.org for that mailing list, and so on. Sure you can change it manually, but it's a pain in the neck. The reason I don't run my own…
At least Gmail, unlike Yahoo Mail (which I’m currently stuck with), allows free POP and IMAP access. If Gmail doesn’t support something, you can hook whatever email client you want to it. There is probably an open-source mail program you can write a plugin for to do what you want.
Anyone know who made that video?
Technical people can be creative, too! At least, that's what I'd like to think.
Having tested this the last few days, I would raise a rebel army if Google tried to take it away.

Actually, I found a script that claims to do exactly what you need! http://userscripts.org./scripts/show/71859 It says you have to edit the source to change which emails go where, but it seems much better than nothing.
Anybody else got the auto-playing music? For a while couldn't figure out where it was coming from, then I saw the red sign for the new Priority Inbox and at first selected "No thanks" but that did nothing, and not until I accepted to turn it on did the music stop. A bug? or some Google's programmer idea of being "helpful" or "funny"? I did not appreciate it.

Didn't they do something similar with the Pacman thing? Sounds like they don't have enough computers with working speakers...
That promotional video is exceptionally well-executed.
Wish I could watch it. Am I the only one who can't stream a full video from YouTube half the time? Either it doesn't start at all, or quits streaming half way through.
I'm a fan of Video DownloadHelper - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3006/ for firefox.
It usually works for any website that embeds media into flash.
This is a BRILLIANT feature that I hope stimulates somebody on HN to build around Outlook. GMAIL hovers around 5% of email client usage. Outlook still owns somewhere between 35 - 43%. MSFT was moving in this direction and had a decent solution out a few years back called Email Prioritizer. Of course, they tossed before it made it out of labs. Xobni is too complex IMO, what's so compelling about Google's system is how…
I think Gmail has much more than 5% of the market. It may be that Outlook is installed on 35-45% of all computers, but nobody currently has numbers for the use of the application. If I can get away with it, I prefer forwarding mails so I don't have to deal with Outlook. And so should all sane companies: Outlook waste their time.
