Re: 27" imac + lion + playing video = crash
#2The first generation of 27" iMacs (Snow Leopard) also had a lot of trouble with Flash video playback. An update from Apple fixed this later.

#3Digging through the thread, it seems like the workaround is to disable sleep, and shutdown when you're done using it.

#4For me, 10.7.2 (Beta) solved the problem. Does not seem to be related to Flash, as it used to crash randomly with any type of video, in/out the browser, in Safari, or in Chrom's own etc.

#5Yup. Same here on 10.7.0. Not related to Flash, happend with QuickTime video too. Lots of GPU warnings/errors in the system log. Waiting for 10.7.1.

#6I have the Lion installation sitting on my 27 for a week now, I need to wrap up a project before I feel comfortable to backup everything and run it, and in great irony the project involves a ton of video-on-the-browser testing. THANK YOU for linking this on HN, I would never know otherwise.

Makes my 2011 MBP as hot as it did on my 2008 MBP.
Flash's ability to hog resources has scaled in line with moores law.
