Well this will happen as you run into sites that actually use the features of the later versions...
I remembered another "solution" that seems to work even better than the hacked Flash Player. That solution is to go to Safari>Preferences...>Advanced and check the "Show Develop menu in menu bar" and then go to the Develop menu and change your "User Agent" to "Safari iOS 4.3.3 – iPad". Now most of these video sites that use Flash as their default video will instead give you a Quicktime video that plays normally. It works on the Yahoo Sports video I posted earlier.
It seems crazy that any website would use "new features" that harm their customer experience. Yahoo seems like a sinking ship, probably too many places to bail water to worry about PPC Flash Player video. At least there's a work-around solution.
