Timestamps of Entries in Google Reader

Please forgive my frequent posts on Google Reader.

Google Reader doesn't pick up the timestamp specified in the feed. It shows the timestamp when the feed was crawled by Google. That is pretty misleading.

Adobe Video Player annoyance

Every single video player on the net uses some flash library from Adobe's for playing video. (Pretty obvious, you would say.) The "full-screen" functionality of Adobe's video player flashes "Press Esc to exit full screen mode" message. This has multiple problems.It comes right in the middle of the screen and stays there for few seconds. That's simply annoying. There is no knob to control duration or the location of the message. There is no control to change the message itself, so I18N is completely out of question.

The flash video player is so ubiquitous and Adobe team has not given any thought to improve its player. Quite surprising!
