It is aimed at the educational market, tinkerers, and people who want to use it as the basis for an embedded product, so much is left as "an exercise for the reader".

Yep, I think most of us knew what we were getting into with the RPi right . Either way it runs decent and I'm curious to see 1080p video on it as there were reports from people talking about their Model B+ running 1080p flawlessly so I'm a bit surprised to see the RPi 2 struggling with 360p when the window is maxed out (at least for Youtube). I installed Iceweasel and ran apt-get to install flash plugin which seemed to help a bit. Still its a far cry from 1080p running flawlessly, perhaps this only applies to certain local content ran from specific codecs???
Hmmm, would be nice to have a RPi specific forum/thread for TR to pass around ideas and help one another through this process.

There's no working Flash on the Pi at all - I'm not sure what that plugin might be doing for you, but it can't actually play Flash video on the Internet. Adobe won't support Flash on Linux at all any more, and Google's Pepper Flash implementation is only for Chrome (no Pi version).
1080p Youtube video via HTML5 works fine on the Pi (pretty much any variant), but only if the browser has the necessary support for the Pi's hardware. Right now, as far as I know, that's only the included default browser, Epiphany. Maybe someone has also added support to Iceweasel through a plugin, but I'm not aware of it.

I'm assuming he actually installed gnash.

I've had a bit of fun figuring out how to get things like HDMI audio to work and now I'm having trouble getting it to switch over to analog audio. It seems like a lot of simple functions are left to terrible long work arounds. I'm thinking one of the first little projects that I may seek out (if someone hasn't already) is making a simple GUI item that sits in the panel and allows a user to switch between multiple audio sources. Something that automates the process instead of using terminal (think audio device manager from windows).
