That's strange - I can play 1080p and have all the speed options available (up to 2x). This is on PC Chrome. Maybe it's dependent on hardware?
Just checked it out, and it seems 1080p works with the html5 player in chrome but not in firefox. That's kind of worrying that Google is limiting functionality for other browsers.
From what I recall, this is actually a limitation on firefox's end. It doesn't support the full HTML5 player because they're pretty obstinate about not using the proprietary H.264 codec, which I think means they either reverse engineered it or are using some other solution. Maybe that's not exactly what happened. In any case, it's something along those lines -- Google provides the means, but Firefox isn't taking full advantage (yet).
