Currently Ubuntu provides the default Firefox search engines. It makes sense to be more strategic about who we give search engine real estate to. We are promoting them, by providing them by default.

At the very least we could get ride of Bing, a direct competitor and the key company behind bug #1. Others might be good to remove in the future as well.

It's silly to be pushing open standards when we don't follow them for our own sites.

All Ubuntu websites should pass the W3C validation checks:
http://www.ubuntu.com/ 9 Errors
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ 24 Errors
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ 1308 Errors
https://launchpad.net/ 8 Errors
http://releases.ubuntu.com/ 15 Errors

Some of these are really simple fixes, but showing that we care about open standards is priceless.

For reference, others that fail:
Microsoft, Sun, KDE fail. Novell and Apple fail with 1 Error.

Those that pass:
Red Hat, opensuse, Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint, Gnome, Opera, Firefox and OpenOffice.org

We can play youtube videos in Totem now and they work great, as we are using youtube's api.
Flash still has some issues on Linux and Firefox that don't seem like they are going to improve drastically (like sound).
Apple's iPhone doesn't have flash on it and instead uses the youtube api to view videos.

Let's use it too.

*Note: I am not saying we shouldn't try to improve Flash support, just that youtube will also become better if Totem does the playing, (better acceleration, better fullscreen).
