Yes, super annoying. And the videos follow you down as you scroll down. Super annoying again. I have blocked all videos from Youtube Finance, but haven't figured out how to block CNN videos yet. I almost never want to watch the video as it is much faster to read the corresponding content instead.

In Safari it can be blocked. Show the internal debug menu by entering this in the command line while Safari is closed:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu 1
Then open Safari, go to the Debug menu -> Media flags and select "Video needs user action". This USUALLY works to block it, but it seems some sites use Javascript to force video to start anyway. I tend to boycott such sites.

The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.

That seems to work for CNN videos. I rarely read CNN, but when I do, this will help!
